In the old days you would go to your librarian and ask them for help, and the librarian gives you all the books in a range on that topic: the good, the bad and the ugly. As you say, an algorithm is designed to make sure you stay engaged, and for longer.
We've seen, with what Facebook has stated in the U.S. when they appeared before Congress—or a former member—that even though they know it's causing harm, they want to keep you engaged longer so that they can pump out more ads to you, but they're not giving you a balanced perspective. They're not giving you, “This is the conspiracy. This is what one view is. This is the other.” They're not giving you everything on the topic. They're only giving you what's keeping you there longer.
Do you not think that needs to be revised and that some sorts of measures need to be in place?
