Not sure why this is flagged? One of the largest social media platforms in the industry changed ownership, its user base is noticing an unexplained change in functionality? Surely that warrants a discussion among tech people?

#142This isn't very compelling. It's 2 anecdotes and a pretty damning final paragraph. Is there any more reliable data?
Data? No. None of these companies are making their data freely available for analysis or being transparent about how their algorithms work. People have complained for a while that Twitter / X seems to suppress the visibility and reach of profiles or posts that disagree with Musk’s views. The recent open sourcing of their algorithm is meaningless since there’s no evidence of what they actually have in production or wh…
It should be fucking table stakes for being able to run a business with that much power and influence.

Funnily enough, these flagged topics seem to spark a lot of conversation, and the voices of the government supporters are not heard here...So they just flag and move on, not even trying to defend their position

And all the people that died because of him, is that intended?
Who are all the people? Unfortunately for Trump, he doesn't control every trigger that gets pulled but now we are seeing de-escalation.
After the previous public execution by ICE, Stephen Miller said they have federal immunity (which is a lie), and it led us to where we are now.
Trump is responsible for hiring these idiots.

I don't think the parent said it was. This is clearly closer to mercantilism, given the degree of government involvement.
They've claimed this is the result of or at the behest of 'ultra capitalism'. I don't even mind hyperbole--call it fascism if you want--but at least use the dimensionally-correct terms. This is like when people call everything 'neoliberal'.

#146I have a bit of experience with video platforms. It’s really hard to say which video will work or not. What people react to and what not. All I’m saying is that this could also potentially be explained by "The Algorithm" per se.
Support for ICE is in minority (although a large one). I don't think algorithm would suppress negative opinions on it, especially among viewership of celebrities that don't appeal to the right side of political spectrum.

#147In transparency will do this. No one can know what TikTok censors or penalizes in its algorithms. All other social media platforms are equally intransparent, what is new is that TikTok is not American.

>they disarm him, and the execution happens after that, You're leaving the part out where a gunshot is heard right before they "execute" him. The officers with their fingers on the trigger pointed at him during detainment, got scared of that gunshot and jumped on the trigger by accident. It's an unfortunate accident but not an execution. Read up the legal definition of execution. This is not it.
I have literally never met anyone as delusional as you on HN. Your comments are just on the absolute edge of sanity, and the only hope I have is that you are an actual russian troll trying to sow discontent and not an actual real human that holds these beliefs earnestly. It just leaves me wondering - how do you look yourself in the mirror each day? I guess it must be super easy if you just look at what happened there…
Pot calling the kettle black.
>the only hope I have is that you are an actual russian troll
Yes, you are not the minority opinion, you are 100% correct and everyone disagreeing with you is a russian troll.

Please stop making up stuff.

#150Celebrities should consider maybe not using social media things controlled by the regime? Like, other social media is available.
