I keep reading the same thing in article after article about #charliekirk — "all of us were forced to see the horrible video on #SocialMedia whether we wanted to or not".
Not to be too smug about it but no, not all of us, right? Because I'm on #Mastodon I didn't get auto-playing videos of Kirk's shooting brought to me by an algorithm which decided it was "popular".
@negative12dollarbill same here, I have no wish to see it and I haven’t.
@negative12dollarbill I'm on FB for various reasons and haven't seen the video. I also don't intend to watch it.
@negative12dollarbill I haven't seen it either. (And don't want to. It sounds gruesome and awful.) The only social media I use now is Mastodon, and a wee dabble in Reddit, but just specific subreddits that are pretty well moderated. I use YouTube, but they'll have been proactively taking it down, and I curate my recs pretty strictly there, so wouldn't expect to see it randomly.
