A three-month campaign to address “typical issues with algorithms” on online platforms was launched on Sunday, according to a notice from the Communist Party’s commission for cyberspace affairs, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and other relevant departments.
System providers should avoid recommendation algorithms that create “echo chambers” and induce addiction, allow manipulation of trending items, or exploit gig workers’ rights, the notice said.
They should also crack down on unfair pricing and discounts targeting different demographics, ensure “healthy content” for elderly and children, and impose a robust “algorithm review mechanism and data security management system”.
3 month deadline to stop this bullshit. social media companies know, hell, they keep track of suicides caused by social media. they can easily show you different demographics and their likes. they'd rather pay the settlement to the family of a suicide teenage victim than rectify their algorithm because it works out financially for them. :facepalm
why haven't the libs ever tried pushing this sort of thing? oh wait, they love the campaign donations too much to put american people first :rolleyes:
