Silicon Valley guru Jaron Lanier: Too many controlling Facebook algorithms

 

Herland Report: The amount of Facebook algorithms is at an all time high, most people reaching only to a few of their friends now.

What used to be a free spirited platform for everyone, is now probably the most censored platforms.

All over the world people complain about being shut down, account deleted, posts “against community standards.” What they did was post something Conservative, anti-war, some post that criticized feminism etc. The freedom we once had, is now lost.

Led by Scandinavian bestselling author, Hanne Nabintu Herland, The Herland Report news and opinion website provides independent analysis from leading Western intellectuals and ground breaking YouTube interviews, cutting through the mainstream media rhetoric. It is a great place to watch interviews and read the articles of leading intellectuals, thought leaders, authors and activists from across the political spectrum. The Herland Report believes in freedom of speech and its editorial policy resides above the traditional Left vs Right paradigm which we believe has lost its relevance and ability to describe the current driving forces in Western politics.
