"Social media algorithms amplify right-wing content against young users’ preference" https://www.bi.team/press-releases/social-media-algorithms-amplify-right-wing-content-against-young-users-preference-study-finds/ I finally re-found this study I read a few months ago, that deserves a lot more attention. It is, in fact, the main reason we should be moving away from big-tech social media: it shows more right-wing content than left-wing content, no matter the political leaning of the user. Propaganda works. See more of something and you start believing it. And they know it. #mastodon #Fediverse #Forkiverse #SocialMedia #algorithm #algorithms #politics #propaganda #BigTech #DigitalRights #propaganda #MediaLiteracy #EchoChambers #DeleteMeta #QuitX #LeaveX #Meta #X #Twitter #Facebook #study

Meta controls which political messages users see, suppresses others, and sells precision-targeted influence. Now it is licensing Newsmax—which paid over $100 million to settle cases tied to false election claims—for AI news answers. This is not ordinary media diversity. It is an opaque distribution system blending propaganda with reporting. #MediaLiteracy #AI #Facebook #Meta #Newsmax

Lately, I've been getting pretty tired of seeing people from different countries put down Koreans' looks with the stereotype that "Koreans all get plastic surgery," while claiming that people from their own country are naturally better-looking. Putting aside the fact that assuming every attractive Korean has had surgery is a stereotype, plastic surgery is a personal choice. Having it doesn't automatically mean someone is insecure about their appearance, nor does it give anyone a reason to shame them. I also don't understand why Korean beauty standards themselves—looking youthful, having lighter skin, etc.—need to be shamed. People say "everyone is beautiful in their own way," yet somehow Korean standards of beauty are treated as something that shouldn't even be accepted. It's especially frustrating when Koreans haven't done anything to these people, yet suddenly you see crowds of them showing up just to tear Koreans down. #Korean #Beauty #Stereotypes #plasticsurgery #CulturalDifferences #MediaLiteracy

"If you end up in a concentration camp thanks to one of Trump's ICE chuds, you can blame Microsoft for providing the administrative software; Google for providing the location data used to track you down; and Apple for blocking apps that warn you if you're about to get snatched by masked thugs" —Cory Doctorow #MediaLiteracy #fAIscist #Broligarchs
