Phil,
That policy you suggest below would be hard to implement, and it would
require a huge amount of government legislation by every country in the
world.
But the social media giants could implement a solution if and when some
company developed the *HYBRID *technology to detect bad stuff (or any
kind of stuff that anybody might be searching for). As an example of the
kind of technology required, see the VifoMind examples from 2010 and
earlier:
https://jfsowa.com/talks/cogmem.pdf .
Spam detection uses a lot more than looking at the text ... for example,
behavior of the sender when given a 4xx error code, rate of messages from
the sender, use of non-ASCII that looks like ASCII (e.g., Cyrillic А
instead of ASCII A), etc. etc.
John: does your system allow such non-linguistic "signals" for detecting
bad stuff?
(I briefly worked on email anti-spam 15+ years ago and I'm sure the
techniques on both sides have become much more sophisticated since then)
Skip to slide 44, which describes three projects that
scan large volumes
of text to find patterns stated as English questions. Those questions
could be English descriptions of patterns to be detected. In those days,
the technology was implemented (by us) on a small server. Today, a cell
phone has more power. Our customers ran the VivioMind software on large
systems that were vastly more powerful than our server.
Those systems did not use LLMs. But our new Permion.ai company has
developed a major upgrade to the VivoMind system. In effect, it supports a
*HYBRID *that uses LLMs to support a natural language translator that
maps English (or other NLs) to conceptual graphs, which support the
analysis and reasoning for finding, analyzing, and evaluating data of any
kind,
Unfortunately, we can't get it ready to search the social media for the
2024 election, but we could do that for the 2026 election and scale it up
for the 2028 election.

Here is one simple way to greatly reduce the spam, scam, erroneous and
evil (e.g. virus-containing) emails that are sent to and received each day
by hundreds of millions of people: Make it so that sending a single email
would have a nonzero cost, e.g. a nickel for each destination email
address, which would need to be paid by the sender to the national post
office. Without the sender paying such a cost, the email would go into the
bit bucket, and not be delivered.
To be clear, although this is simple to describe and easy to understand,
it would not be easy to implement: There would be a variety of technical,
business and government challenges, and probably also new laws to create
and implement. Yet we appear to have reached a point where something like
this may be needed.
