this isn’t about censorship. It is about newsfeed algorithms which optimize “engagement”. As it turns out negative, controversial and divisive stuff is more engaging.
you realize that most controversial, negative and divisive stuff is pushed by corporate media 24/7, right?
Both are a problem
It is a recursive problem when you take into account how much power journalists have in shaping and vetting content on social media. As an example, this is why half of you in the US think that COVID has 50% hospitalization rate, while the other half thinks masks are entirely useless.

It is about censorship. The Biden admin has repeatedly made it obvious they don't think FB etc are deleting enough and the feds will have to step in soon.
I agree that Biden admin is all about censorship. But, after watching her interview, it doesn’t look to me that this whistleblower is.
It's about the negative externalities of engagement optimization.
