No? Our society doesn't treat jobs as equally important as all kinds of content. Having rules around content recommendation around jobs is easily doable without banning any kind of content recommendation.

Or did I miss obvious sarcasm?

The content you consume has a large influence in your education and career.

If you get recommendations for "Technology" and someone of the opposite sex doesn't its completely discriminatory.

If you don't think its a problem then you likely dont understand how recommendation systems work.

The only way recommendations could work is you would explicitly state preferences for everything upfront and no engagement data is used.

I do understand how recommendation systems work, thank you.

You've written twice in this thread that you'd need to ban any kind of content recommendation system. Is that what you're advocating for? Your comments read to me as the opposite - you're saying that the only way to 100% solve this issue is by banning any recommendation system, so we shouldn't do anything instead.

This is, of course, not how we treat almost any facet of our society. No law covers 100% of cases, yet we're fine implementing new laws if they improve the situation. Why can't we do the same here?
