@willoremus tweeted on 05/15/18 11:16:02: Yes. Every algorithm can be gamed. That's why I think it's unfortunate that Twitter isn't notifying people when it puts their accounts in purgatory. Makes it much harder to identify false positives and learn from them.https://twitter.com/woodtang/status/996426633417457666 …

  • What if the content was accurate and politely articulated, but created a negative reaction because people don't like hearing the truth? This is an awful algorithm. This will just forward confirmation bias and exasperate the existing echo chambers.
    [original: #17, ranking: #2, date: #2] From @not_mqrk on 05/15/18 09:24:43
  • “If you send the same message to four people, and two of them blocked you, and one reported you, we could assume without ever seeing what the content of the message was, that was generally a negative interaction.” Yes, negative as in you disagreed. This WILL be abused.
    [original: #28, ranking: #4, date: #7] From @digitalpsyche on 05/15/18 09:39:15
  • All such systems are prone to gaming by clever users. Apparently you didn't bother to ask what they were going to do to prevent gaming the system ... disappointing. Twitter will now become a block/report warzone until they figure out something else or abandon the model entirely.
    [original: #30, ranking: #8, date: #21] From @uncle_ickle on 05/15/18 11:13:37
  • That's a legit concern, but note that they're applying this tool to a whole account based on all its interactions, not just a single tweet. So you'd have to be generating overwhelmingly negative responses with almost everything you tweet.
