When more 'good speech' doesn't avail, the social industry turns to algorithmic remedies. If the machine seems to be producing depression, or precipitating suicidal ideation, modify the feed. Use its sentiment analysis programmes to detect risk and promote anti-suicide material. If it seems to encourage cyberbullying, or enable racist harassment, modify the feed. Change what users see, filter out the most egregiously awful materials, just enough to staunch the backlash. After all, the whole point of the feed is that it is already highly curated. It is designed, hyperpersonalised thanks to the data you supply, to maximise your engagement with it. If the current feed results in complaint about death threats and stalking, then the feed must be tweaked.
