I think another part of it is that Silicon Valley has a crazy amount of money to experiment and invest in new technology. In comparison, Brazil companies are significantly poorer and don't have as many resources to stand out in its own or evolve their tech (hence Silicon seeing their stuff as outdated). Especially the rise of AI, I don't think gap will get any better in the future

This article reflects on Zuckerberg's character and his campaign to spread the internet across the world. Zuckerberg defends his capitalistic model, saying that in order to do the actions he is doing right now, he has to make money somehow. He says that a free ad model is much better than a pay model which builds many barriers. For something as basic as social media and internet, I cannot help to agree with him, but for the case of facebook, I think the lack of transparency and consent is the main problem than the model itself as you still get collect data and advertise while allowing users to have some limited levels of privacy

By giving a platform for users, social media platforms have the responsibility to not promote harmful speech. By showing people messages, the platform is basically endorsing it. However, I also believe social media platforms should respect the users' actions and freedom of speech. Social media platforms can misuse their power to censor things they don't like, even though it may be better good. And with some examples like the witchhunt, I feel like it becomes subjectively very quickly if something is good or not. This is why I have always been a fan of smaller communities because we can form a judgement over a small group of people than a big one. But anyway, social media platforms kinda have to mark the line of when something is too much.

This is an article concerning the aftermath of the witchhunt. Unfortunately, the actual apology is now down in reddit. However, this article outlines the apology to Tripathi's family and discuss the power of Reddit and how they intend to fix their mistakes in the future. It's nice that I don't think this has ever happened again, at least in Reddit. However, knowing Reddit, especially during the whole Gamestop thing, the fact this happened doesn't surprise me. In social media, everything gets amplified and it's no question; this won't be the last time where social media will do mass harassment
