What's worse, algorithms that reinforce existing biases or algorithms that say WE just can't allow you to read or see stuff because we think it will get you to consider things WE don't think you should consider?
Both filtering modes are obnoxious but filtering out information that some millennial desk jockey thinks shouldn’t be seen because it’s dangerous is worse. In my opinion.

Both. Today these platforms reinforce certain biases, while censoring views the "Keepers of the Algorithms" don't like. Kinda like universities.

In the sense that if unfavored views remain "out there" those proactive and persistent enough can still find them, I agree.
