    @aral and not just that. They can try to manipulate your emotions by adjusting your timeline algorithm with more happy or sad posts. This results in what I like to call Creepy Computing and Psychomanipulation Machines.

    @xiroux That sounds like a familiar story. If the university claims to promote intellectual freedom or open access to data then this might be usable as rhetorical leverage.

    @simonv3 @jd @antanicus The amount of damage which North Korea could do is small though. They might have a few nukes, but the US and Russia still have thousands. Enough megatons to render the planet uninhabitable to any land animal larger than a cockroach.

    The emotional manipulation already happens on Facebook, so this isn't a problem limited to robots. Any centralized system with an algorithmic way of choosing what content to display could try to manipulate the users emotional state.

    This is really a key advantage for the fediverse, because humanity is not a homogeneous substrate and it's always going to be impossible to "apply consistent standards worldwide". It's the problem of a single centralized authority trying to make everyone fit into its categorizations.

    Rather than try to deploy a one-size-fits-all set of rules for the entire world it's better to let affinity groups manage themselves and to have their own particular standards in accordance with their culture/history/beliefs. But this is something which Facebook couldn't easily implement without breaking the business model. It's their Achilles heel.

    I didn't know of Metcalfe's Law. It's usually known as the network effect.
