We get it that hateful and divisive content drives engagement and it elicits responses. We get that Facebook's economic business model is built around that. It has been discussed earlier today, but how can we ask a private company to change a business model which will result in it losing money, for example? We have talked a little bit about that today. Would one of the things we could ask Facebook to do be to change its algorithm from a tailor-made model that shows us what it thinks we want to see back to what it used originally, namely, a chronological algorithm whereby we saw what was posted by our friends chronologically? Would that be a solution to try to take away some of the toxicity of the algorithms?
