[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 9225630, member: 6804070"] Good point. So, I think we can look at the top of the pyramid in two perspectives. 1) motivation & 2) control. What's the motivation? Money. And they use human behavior to maximize their money. Just like the creators do. How do you change the motivation of the platform? And should corporations not focus on profit/money? Two distinct questions. First one, I think the primary way to change a platform's motivation is to change there profitability or to get the leaders/board/shareholders to change their goals by not prioritize money. Two ways to change profitability; government regulation (restrictions, taxes, fines, etc), and consumer action. I'm proposing consumer action. Because I don't like government regulation in capitalism and consumer free choice. I can't think of any other way to change a corporation's motivation. (Let's leave goals for below) So other than motivation, that leaves control, and only the corporation leadership (et al) or government regulation can do those two things. back to two things again. Government regulation is supposed to occur to protect the citizens, and can therefore be at the behest of consumer action. And to address both motivation and control via the corporate leadership; both of those generally only come about through consumer action. Now, throw in the challenge of international regulations an governments. You not only have to get your government to do something, but you have to get a bunch of them from all over the world to do it. Though impacts have been made, we still don't have comprehensive privacy worldwide, how are we going to do something much more complex like platform algorithms? So, it really seems to me that change is primarily achievable by consumer action. Some possibilities of this are; [LIST] [*]Protests & boycotts [*]Pleading for government involvement [*]unsavory and illegal activities I will not discuss [/LIST] This leads me to the simplified conclusion that if we want algorithms to change we need to change our behavior (i.e. boycott click bait). Sure, it would be great if we had a magical mystical do-gooder worldwide government who did everything for us and never got it wrong. But that just doesn't exist. [/QUOTE]
