The platforms themselves have perverse incentives. The platforms are broken.
They aren't connecting people through interests and across bubbles and social groups... instead they reinforce echo chambers.
They aren't acting in the interests of people and society, because neither of those is the paying customer. The paying customer are advertisers, and anything that supports advertisers will be done.
The business model and customer is the big difference... the platforms are broken. The algorithms that manifest through the platform are the result of the underlying economic model and incentives.
