There's something I notice about people fixated on information control.
They really hate the fact that social media gave people the smallest whiff of being able to have conversations about difficult topics on their own terms.
It's usually phrased as 'the kids on their phones' but you'll notice it will leak out into any area where people can find their own voice.
One of my bigger concerns moving forward is that the small-scale control freaks will team up with the warmongers to suppress dissent entirely.
@gabe I like how the obvious point is ignored.
Ok, suppose the 18yo got his opinions from his phone.
But why are those conversations happening in the first place?
Why isn't anyone hating on the Argentinians like they hate on Israelis?
Why are Buddhists exempt of the hate being sent to jews?
Joel will never address the core of the issue.
It's not racism, or anti-semitism, or homophobias, etc...
It's reputation, always has been.

Are these algorithms in the room with you?
There is a total of Zero algorithms conditioning 18 year old teenagers to have "strong opinions on Israel"
And your opinions are not the result of something you "earned through years of learning and life experience"
You are the one who have been programmed, perhaps not by algorithms online but by your TV and by schoolbooks.
You don't fear "algorithms" you fear freedom of information and critical thinking teenagers
