Gregory's Server@tshirtman This is getting thrown around a fair bit, but regulation is a legal/technical solution to social problems. The thing missing in a lot of what’s happening that bothers folks so much today (and arguably the reason Mastodon exists) is a reluctance/incompetence of gvts to regulate social media. I’m not suggesting I know how that should work but it’s still wild west and with ‘AI’ going to get worse pretty fast imo
@tshirtman It seems a bit like the reason for the adage of being unable to solve social problems with technical solutions is that engineers are typically not trained in the social sciences. If they were (or if social scientists were welcome and encouraged to work in tandem with engineering teams) there’s a pretty good chance that technical solutions would be a lot more effective
