YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The UK government is considering rules that would push platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Meta to algorithmically boost legacy broadcasters like the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 in the name of fighting misinformation. The problem is real, but the proposed fix hands the government power to decide which voices get labeled “trusted” while independent creators get pushed down by design. Whether it comes from a minister in London, a cable monopoly in America, or a tech platform’s black-box algorithm, “trust” stops meaning anything when powerful people get to assign it without earning it. Ring of Fire's Josh G. discusses.
