> But I do agree with what Roger McNamee said, and I’d take it even further. He said, dismiss 230 for anything that is negative algorithmic amplification. I think you get rid of 230 for any content that is seeing any algorithmic amplification. Once you’re amplifying it, you’re making editorial decisions, right? It doesn’t matter if it’s automated, right? Because someone had to build the automation and incorporate and build those weights and balances. And so once you start amplifying it, regardless of how you got there, now you’re a publisher. You’re making choices on what content to present to people. You’re making choices that — this person leans right, and so I’m going to keep on giving him more, and his friends lean right, so they’re all in this bubble and this particular type of content.

This is a brilliant idea.

I thought he brought up really good points about the politicization of current social networks. I miss the days of chronological feeds and only seeing posts of users in your circle. I think splitting up actual users and pages/groups you follow into two separate feeds will also help reduce the feedback loop Cuban talks about.

Blatantly incorrect that hospitals in Canada are for profit. The vast majority are non-profit. Although he is correct that they are not strictly government owned.
