China's paternalistic vision for how social media algorithms should be regulated: all algorithms must be audited and approved by the government. This is a must-read (and potentially what's coming in the West). https://twitter.com/...

Related: China doesn't want bad algorithms, including those that foster obsessive behaviors or those that fail to adhere to “mainstream values” and “actively spread positive energy.” https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Xi don't like bad news. He'd prefer everyone just stick to the prepared talking points like ‘the CCP has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty’ #China #CCP https://twitter.com/...
