Experts say Facebook and Twitter were 'indirectly involved' in the US Capitol siege since they gave President Trump and his far-right supporters a place to congregate for years

permanently before the company agreed to do so. For years, Trump and his allies have been able to utilize online platforms and their algorithms — which favor sensationalistic content — to sow misinformation campaigns. Trump's Facebook ban is just 'a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,' critics say — but no one can agree on the best way to wipe out the disinformation contagion

Lightman likened it to the mythological monster Hydra: "Cut off the big head, seven new heads sort of spring out, right?" The tech industry is overdue for a regulatory body that understands the ins and outs of these platforms and their societal impact, experts told Insider.

Hang on, and social media played no role in the BLM riots, property damage, looting, murders Social media was used to coordinate rioters and looters! Any calling out of this too

I'm sure shutting people down and using user agreements to suppress speech they don't like helped add fuel to the fire. Let people be accountable for their own posts instead of exerting your power over them.

Shocker.

indirectly involved, eh? Company cannot interfere in government affairs And not even dictating to others what to choose!

..a said this long time ago....big tech needs supervisionas much as they are in the free market

This account is OK though.

Конец США.В 14-15-м году в фэйсбук и твиттер забанили всех кто противостоял майдану и анти конституционному перевороту на Украине,и предоставили площадку для тех,кто творил беспредел.Двойные стандарты американской демократии поражают своим ценизмом и пропагандой школы Геббельса.

Of course they were involved. Happy to let his accounts violate their rules for years, happy to take the high ratings, happy to highlight his tweets with banners. As soon as violence erupts as a result they ban him.

Are you serious? Now you want delegate order and information to a social and not say that politcs and journalists are turn they heads in another direction to not see...

Why does Parker keep getting overlooked? Is it because it's white people spewing hate?

Can we call him a terrorist?! TrumpBanned Trump TrumpConceded

I'd say FB more than any entity. FB unfiltered person specific political ads have murdered American democracy. We are talking hundreds of thousands of ads over 4 years. Radicalisation on meth.

'Experts' LMAO. Who are these 'experts' and what are they 'experts' in? Hint, THEY DON'T EXIST. This is what the media writes when they want to give an editorial opinion but don't want to do real journalism.

Keep ignoring stimulus for 4-5 months with your new suits. Republicans and Democrats thought they are British lords 🤣 Russian government was thinking 🤔 the same way . People came with tanks 🤣

True. Have you seen the posts on Parler? There's no moderation on that site. Lin Wood and others were specifically calling for Pence to be hanged.

horrible

Experts and regular people have been saying this for a while.

Sheryl Sandberg says the US Capitol siege was not primarily organized on Facebook - Business InsiderBusiness Insider tells the global tech, finance, markets, media, healthcare, and strategy stories you want to know. She is lying. Facebook is dangerous because old dumb people go on their and think everything is news worthy accurate. My elderly mum and her friends share the most crazy stuff. Who knows if this is true as of yet. But Facebook was definitely a major tool in the disinformation campaign that provided the insurrection's ideological basis. And the platform made the business decision to allow political ads to lie if they wanted to.
