How can the executives of social media companies and their algorithm…

- - - - Use dedicated A.I to detect (for instance) slurs which might indicate the prescence of hate groups.
      - A.I could potentially sort through thousands of messages, servers, and communities and detect hate groups. it could also alternative group topics together for instance if someone wanted to look at information about a protest instead of only looking at information reccomended to them (which aligns with their beliefs) they could look at the topic which would contain all sorts of opinions.
    - - it could be possible to create a new algorithm or at an option in social media that allows you to explore things outside of what would be normally recommended to you, this would not only be appealing for people as it would allow them to find new interest, but more importantly would allow people trapped in an echo chamber to explore different opinions other than there own.
      - along with the algorithm change there could be a layout change (which works together with the new algorithm) that gives a greater importance to content outside of your recommended allowing people to explore all types of opinions.
  - - - fact checkers similar to the ones in use in social media like instagram could be expanded to also provide warnings with very biased information (although defining biased information is certainly a challenge) alternatively with important things that could easily be manipulated such as news A.I could provide sources to help complete biased information.
      - rather than a change facts checkers some social media use (altough arguably very few) should be made a standard among social media, even less "mainstream" social media such as Reddit.
    - - apart from outright banning this type of communities, known hateful or controversial communities could include a automized disclaimer when opening. warning possible susceptible users from continuing to explore it.
      - an algorithm similar to the one youtube uses for recommendation could punish this type of content/communities by making them the least likely to be recommended to other people no matter how much this type of content may align with what you consume.
- - - - Within this communities thing as simple as memes can serve as propaganda ridiculing other points of view making people who consume this type of media think people who share those opinions are stupid, an example of this can be the global ridiculisation of feminism on social media through videos, memes, and other tyoes of media that would allow the rise of figures like Andrew Tate.
- - - - In Nazi germany, all media from the allies was banned, thus, the only media that was in circulation was media aproved by the Fascist government
      - Nazis would create their own radio stations through which they would only broadcast music, speeches and other forms of media that aligned with there way of thinking, limiting german citizens to one point of view.
    - - the most know way of propaganda are posters, wich with there stylized art presented political messages in a digestable way, this made them very effective and where used for encouraging people to join the army, spreading political views and deaminishing the opposing side.
      - altough posters are the most known type of printed propaganda it was not the only, one as the newspaper where often used for this same purpose. the most often of which was reporting fake information. there was actually a ministry dedicated to propaganda and controlling the press.
