The talk was held in collaboration with Time Magazine and Kenneth Roth from Human Rights Watch – a group that News Punch points out is funded by the likes of George Soros.
The algorithms are written to promote engagement because engagement is profitable, engagement is more eyeballs, and what is engaging? The provocative, rumours, falsehoods, hate speech, divisiveness.
I don’t focus so much on what should be taken down, the overt censorship, but rather what is being promoted. If algorithms are promoting information that in essence is false or divisive because it is profitable, there I think there is accountability that is quite warranted for these companies.
Social media has become a way for autocrats and others to evade journalistic accountability. It used to be that to get information out you would need to pass through an editor.
Social media, great as it is for allowing anyone to speak, great as it is for hidden corners of the world to be magnified, it has the downside of letting powerful institutions or governments speak directly to the people and evade efforts to present information responsibly.
Roth said
In April the WEF published an article titled “Big tech cannot crack down on online hate alone. We need to fund the smaller players,” which encouraged the creation of “technologies can be designed and developed in an inclusive manner by engaging those who are affected by online hate and discrimination.”
Unless tech companies want to play catch-up on a constant basis, they should move beyond detection and content moderation to a holistic and proactive approach to how hatred is generated and disseminated online.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
These globalists leaders, organizations, corporations, and politicians continue to whine and cry about internet censorship; and yet they all continue to scheme to lockout the little guys (such as The WinePress), and only print and present their propaganda and narratives.
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Colossians 1:17
As I have noted in other suchlike reports, this life consists by the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and if the Lord wants The WP to disappear or be greatly suppressed, then it’ll be by his will. Therefore I will continue to fight as the Lord gives me the abilities to do so.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

There are always other ways to spread the word. Through paper: written booklets, posters, letters, etc. It may be on a smaller scale compared to doing it online, but we can still share these things among the people. Or if the Lord God allows it, we may be able to find loopholes in their system.
