> For right-leaning users, video recommendations are more likely to come from channels that share political extremism, conspiracy theories and otherwise problematic content. Recommendations for left-leaning users on YouTube were markedly fewer, researchers said. This depends on the researcher's definitions of 'extremism' and 'conspiracy theories'. - Recently we've seen many left wing people state that disassembling people in front of their families - surely an 'extreme' act - is a 'beautiful act of resistance', and that calls for genocide against Jewish people (surely also 'extreme') may not constitute hate speech in some contexts. - For the last 7 years we've had many people believe in the Russiagate conspiracy theory. - I'm not sure "problematic" has any real meaning. |
