Charlie Warzel, a member of the Times Opinion segment, believes that sites like Facebook have a duty to improve the image of democracy through targeted misinformation. He explained in our On Tech newsletter how guilty these corporations are by divisions in the United States.
It needs generation corporations to push other people toward factual election data and facilitate voting, but it worries that corporations like Facebook have too much power.
We talked in the spring about a similar feeling I had about generation corporations and coronavirus exposure alerts. When crises occur and primary establishments like the government bankrupt us, we look for adults in the room. These corporations are potential adults, and there’s something relaxing. But it is also far-fetched to ask a dozen unelected people guilty of giant Internet corporations to a pillar of American democracy.
Can we blame Internet corporations too much for what they do on their sites?
I don’t blame Facebook for the country’s ills, but it’s an accelerator, and what offends me is that the company doesn’t seem willing to deal with that seriously, as long as it pretends it is.
Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s CEO, said Facebook gained negative comments from others involved that the company was cutting too many posts, interpreting it as a company bias opposed to conservative opinions.
If you need Facebook to back down or remove manipulative or potentially harmful posts more aggressively, but your consumers are involved in censorship, the corporate right to be cautious?
It’s Facebook that’s looking to be two incompatible things. There’s Facebook, which is a customer-oriented product, like McDonald’s, that serves two billion people.
And there’s Facebook that recognizes that it has a social duty as an essential communications infrastructure for elections, the pandemic and more. McDonald’s needs its consumers to be happy, but it doesn’t seek to secure the election.
That’s all for today’s briefing. I hope your week off is fabulous.
