> I did claim that making their site have a partisan recommendation algorithm is not a good idea and may be bad for society.

So who gets to decide what is good and bad for society?




I do because I'm stating my own personal views. You do as well, when you are stating your own views. Why do people keep trying to depict people stating their opinions as advocating some sort of government sponsored program forcing their opinions on others? Has discourse really gotten to the point where we just assume that when people state their views they are always implying that they want these views enforced on others?

It's entirely valid to say that tech companies' censorship or forms of manipulating views is bad while acknowledging that this is their legal right. This comment applies just as much to you: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19525998

Everyone does. Everyone makes their own decisions about what is right or wrong.
