Dems And GOP Congress Must Make Big Tech Platform Shadow Banning Of Content Creators Illegal
Dems And GOP Congress Must Make Big Tech Platform Shadow Banning Of Content Creators Illegal As the 2023 Congress takes up Big Tech, one action that must stop is called “shadow banning”. It is defined in Wikipedia as: Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, hellbanning, ghost banning and comment ghosting, is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or the user's content from some areas of an online community in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user, regardless of whether the action is taken by an individual or an algorithm. For example, shadow-banned comments posted to a blog or media website will not be visible to other users accessing the site. This is done for overt political and personal reasons but the cover reason is a fake technical stew of words claiming the content is not “quality”. Why what definition is never explained. That can allow racism and sexism to creep in. Note that we’re talking about content that is not offensive, as opposed to words or photos that are obviously law-breakingly objectionable. Any content that falls into normal information format must be shown. That must be an enforced law. The content should also have a flag to signal that it must be promoted if it looks like it’s being hidden or banned. The platform owner must then promote that content publicly for one day. I can see a rolling set of titles. This should be done for all social media sites and search engines regardless of size. Shadow banning must be made illegal. Stay tuned.
