It’s not about the content it’s about the incentives and reward structures we put in place to govern our society. E.g. we want(ed) a strong economy of businesses in the US so we subsidize(d) their operation. We know very well now that social media platforms (sometimes even deliberately) promote content that irks people because they get rewarded by our ad industry for eyeball time. What better way to consume and waste human capital than to present a bunch of people with outrageous bullshit? There must be a structure or limit we can impose on the attention industry that would deter what we have come to consider abusive treatment of humans. A really dumb but raw implementation would be a use tax where social media companies are literally taxed for engagement beyond some threshold. Point is it’s not a contradiction to demand and invent better systems in the face of poor outcomes. What you can’t do, and what is the contradiction you’re referring to, is to force the desired outcomes without addressing the underlying incentives because then you are oppressing people or companies exhibiting valid behavior within the existing system.
