It's far more profitable to promote outrage and that's exactly what Facebook's algorithms have done and are doing. And that's what you find in your news feed.

Youtube has pretty much the same problem on a different level.

That's despite the mealy mouthed bullshit that the dear leader spouts those days.

Outrage leads to mob rule and genocide, which indeed happened and is happening currently. That is the main reason why FB should be regulated and stripped of it's outrage algorithms. And the main reason why Mark Zuckerberg should be brought to a large war tribune to be procecuted of enabeling and abetting genocide.

This in itself sounds like outrage, only you want to have a scapegoat be in prison instead of lynched?

I am not outraged, I only know that people were sent to the tribunal for less. He did nothing when his superdeluxe algorithms helped genocide in Myanmar.
