Social media platforms aren’t simply a place for “speech .” That *was* the case with chronological timelines. But now, you see fed information based on an algorithm w the express purpose to keep you on the platform.
That’s the difference between, say, Signal and TikTok.
We’ve seen censorship of normal free speech. We’ve seen the reverse - allowance of clearly illegal conduct.
Ultimately, it’s not speech or yelling into the void. It’s the algorithm.
I'm concerned about this verdict and the overall trend of treating speech platforms as addictive — and therefore dangerous — products.
Also, the verdict diminishes the responsibility parents have to raise healthy kids. For example:
"Kaley says she began using YouTube at age 6 and Instagram at age 9 and told the jury she was on social media 'all day long' as a child."
Where were the parents?
