For some weird reason, on all of the recent Wired articles, all I am able to see is the first paragraph. No "read more," no obvious way to see the rest of the article. This is on iOS with Chrome.

Just out of curiosity, why would anyone subject themselves to use chrome on iOS? Sync is so important that you deal with the web without content block?

> If you’re a product manager working on a feed or search interface inside of a giant tech company, you have access to hundreds of billions of hours of human attention. Could you help your users spend one hour a year learning about what’s coming for the world, climate-wise, with a small dose of civics to go with it? > Because, if you did, that would be 2 or 3 billion hours of shared experience. Two to 3 billion hours…
>Although this power could be used for good, it’s scary to think of what could happen if the “bad guys” develop or control such platforms. It wouldn’t just be a yearly 1 hour knowledge drip, but instead a firehose of propaganda. I have bad news for you.
(extremely bad news)
Not a very good or coherent article. I almost wonder if it was written by a bot. After a random jumble of sentences we have this naïve cry for help: "If you’re a product manager working on a feed or search interface inside of a giant tech company ..Could you help your users spend one hour a year learning about what’s coming for the world, climate-wise, with a small dose of civics to go with it?" Moloch doesnt work th…

Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of people that think this way. "Now that these companies are so powerful, they can use all that power to benefit humanity! You're not like the Dark Lord Mr. Frodo, you can use the Ring's power for good!" It doesn't work like that. Unlike the author, I ACTUALLY look forward to an "unbundling," to a breakup. The time seems right. Lots of lawsuits in the air, and maybe more important…
I'm not sure I buy this apathetic cliche. Can we look at history for examples? Say railroads or the phone company? Were those regulations ill conceived?
Good luck. You can't get a random user to spend an hour learning. You have approximately two sentences.
Like, take YouTube. They've added various "learn about the COVID vaccine" or "here's something to do with Black History Month" rows in the recommended feed to me. I've x'd out of every one of these civic recommendations, pretty much regardless of the content - I'm in the app to get a chill videogame streamer to fall asleep to anyhow, if I'm in the mood to become more informed, I'm not lazily scrolling through what's new on YouTube. Pretty much all those sections have done is told me that Google is, as an institution, pro-vaccine and pro-cultural-left (broadly construed). I already pretty much knew that.
