Misogyny and Violent Extremism: Can Big Tech Fix the Glitch?

Fix? Bruh, they explicitly cultivate that shit. Even if they could, they're not gonna.

It's not a glitch.

People have spent billions to build systems where such dissemination of crowd emotion is the main difference from the real web (what was on geocities or even LJ, and a bit of that exists in Telegram, because it's a Russian honeypot to collect intelligence, and Russia could care a bit less about keeping the line that American social media corps, in its effort to make the honeypot actually attractive to use).

Then spent billions to advertise them. Billions to kill competition.

Then they've lost billions from that, and yet doubled down on it.

That just doesn't happen by accident, it's a whole era of humanity's history now. Like 20s-50s (the "bad" kind of change, with goosestepping, cult of strong people, attempts to save empires, preparations for a nuclear war, all that) and 60s-90s (the "good" kind of change, with space race, hippies in the west, Soviet official ideology being peace and unification of humanity - BTW, it's funny how the western politicians of that time freeloaded on that, never denying such a goal, but also never accepting it, thus getting the good parts without the hard ones) and then what we have.

fix it? it fucking feeds into it!

Only if it's profitable or they're forced to do so through legislation. Otherwise they won't even try.
