Yuval Noah Harari about freedom of speech

"They constantly raise the issue of freedom of speech. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and the other people who now control maybe the most powerful media platforms in the world. And they say we don't want to censor human users. But it's not about the human users. It's about the corporate algorithms. Humans produce enormous amounts of content on social media. They produce hate-filled conspiracy theories and they produce cooking lessons and biology lessons and funny cat videos and whatever. And I think I agree with them that we should be very, very careful before we censor and ban human beings. But the problem begins not when a human posts some hateful conspiracy theory online, but when the Facebook algorithm or the Twitter algorithm chooses, makes a decision to recommend and promote and spread and autoplay this particularly hate-filled video in pursuit of user engagement. And this is something that the corporations should be accountable for."
