Quiet public

@praveenPirate Praveen nobody said anything about identifying them. Stopping them – that depends on the specifics of what's going on.

If a tool is algorithmically promoting content, for example, and happens to reliably promote Nazi content, that's a problem that needs to be solved – or a tool that needs to be ditched.

All technology is political. One might think they're building a "truly neutral" tool, but no such tool exists. Choices made by it will define how it fits into the broader struggle.

Quiet public

@praveenPirate Praveen so instead of wasting time on trying to save "such great technology", I choose to promote others building similar tools that happen to not be conspiracy wingnuts and transphobes.

This way not only we get the amazing technology, but we also promote people who can build it in ethical, thoughtful, considerate way.

"Great technology" built by shitty people is sucking the air out of the room. I will not be helping with that.
