Elon Musk tweet Trashing accounts that you hate will cause our algorithm to show you more of those accounts, as it is keying off of your interactions. Basically saying if you love trashing that account, then you will probably also love trashing this account. Not actually wrong lol. 7:47 PM - Jan 16, 2023 - 13.2M Views

I've been speaking and writing lately about how tech companies try to shift the discussion on misinformation, polarization, harassment, etc., away from the systems and structures that are inherently toxic and toward questions of individual behavior.
This way they can blame their own users for any pathology and steer clear of calls for systemic change.
Today Elon Musk has come through with a perfect illustration for my future talks.
