Censorship By Algorithm Does Far More Damage Than Conventional Censorship
The reason that’s true is that the Algorithm quietly downplays dissident voices, not suggesting or offering them to your eyes. Even if you have the exact title of a video that the System doesn’t like, Goog/YT search will push it down the page when you search on it specifically. For example.
When the government or the powers that be wanted to censor in the old school, it went to court, and the court deciding was itself news, which gathered interest and publicity in itself.
Today you’re just throttled and silenced by software that was programmed by corporations with an agenda.
The actually free marketplace of ideas dies in darkness.
