The way that Musk is riling up and egging on these rioters on the world’s biggest social media platform is really frightening and dangerous. The guy’s in total control of the algorithms that control people’s feeds - including the sorts of thugs and bigots turning out on these race riots.

I think we really are going to need a much more grown up national conversation about regulation of social media companies and the damage they’re doing to our democracy.

There are also clearly some very profound community tensions which we’re going to have to address on some fundamental level in the long-run through processes of deradicalisation, integration, education and community cohesion strategies. But that still seems like a discussion that’s necessary to have but maybe after we’ve locked up these Neo-Nazis.
