Meta/Facebook gutted its Trust and Safety workforce in mass layoffs just a few months ago. Which means they won't be available to oversee what happens on Threads. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/26/tech-companies-are-laying-off-their-ethics-and-safety-teams-.html
Meta, Amazon, Alphabet and Twitter have all drastically reduced the size of their teams focused on trust and safety as the companies cut costs.
how much you wanna bet they're planning to 'leverage AI' into their moderation?
Which means the biggest platforms on the planet Will be Less equipped to deal with electoral info manipulation than in 2016. What if Biden was just an interlude to the next Trump era, because, Tech platforms monopolies intentionally weakened themselves before elections?
I know a place where they could find a useful purpose.
Holy crap it’s a problem everywhere
Meanwhile Bluesky doesn't have a Trust And Safety workforce at all . . .
That's the point I suspect given past behaviours. I strongly suspect ALL the platforms in the next few months will get inundated with right wing disinfo trolls. It's going to fall on us to just deal with them as much as possible. Not just this platform but Threads as well. Facebook is hopeless IMO.
