Al Gore says that people having access to information outside of mainstream media sources is a threat to “democracy” and that social media algorithms “ought to be banned.”
Yes, really.
Gore made the comments during an appearance at the Cop28 climate change hysteria conference in Dubai.
Gore whined that social media had “disrupted the balances that used to exist that made representative democracy work much better.”
The former Vice President said that functioning democracy relied on a “shared base of knowledge that serves as a basis for reasoning together collectively” but that “social media that is dominated by algorithms” upsets this balance.
According to Gore, people are being pulled down “rabbit holes” by algorithms that are “the digital equivalent of AR-15s – they ought to be banned, they really ought to be banned!”
Gore claimed, “It’s an abuse of the public forum” and that people were being sucked into echo chambers.
“If you spend too much time in the echo chamber, what’s weaponized is another form of AI, not artificial intelligence, artificial insanity! I’m serious!” he added.
Apparently, the only echo chamber that should be allowed to exist is Gore’s own rabbit hole, wherein the earth is constantly on the brink of destruction thanks to people not obeying his technocratic mandates.
Perhaps Gore is unhappy at his own misinformation being fact checked by individuals who have access to information not produced by corporate media sources that are friendly to him.
Gore infamously predicted that the north polar ice cap would be “ice free” within 5 to 7 years.
It never happened.
As Thomas Cartenacci documents, Gore has a storied history of making climate change predictions that turn out to be spectacularly wrong.
No wonder he wants to ban dissent.

Gore owns a $36 billion sustainable investing fund – apparently it hasn’t been doing that well recently https://energynow.com/2023/02/the-inconvenient-truth-about-sustainable-investing-energyminute/ Bizarrely their top holding is Amazon, and I couldn’t think of a less sustainable company.

Well, according to Al, we should all be under the oceans by now, and, he invented the internet! What else can you expect from him?

I’ve been studying this approach known as stochastic computer modeling the climate scientists use to project catastrophic climate change. Epidemiologists used the same approach to predict 10% of the global population would die from Covid.

“Al Gore says that people having access to information outside of mainstream media sources is a threat to “democracy”
I get so tired of shits like Al Gore throwing around the word, “democracy” like it means anything to them. Where the hell is “democracy,” anyway? What is the definition of “democracy” these days? All I see are authoritarians trying to dictate to us and if we don’t adhere to their narrative, then we are all “conspiracy theorists” spreading misinformation when the true spreaders of lies and flat-out misinformation are government fucktards and their minions. Screw that dickwad Gore. And where the hell did he slither from anyway? Send his ass back!

Citizens knowledge enhances democracy. That is why these Oligarchs and their paid stooges are so against free speech and rational debate.

Once again, the comments tell the real story. I was glad when Al Gore lost the 2000 election, but ultimately sorry that Baby Bush won. At the time, and ever since, my vote was “None of the above.” Do we really need a president? I wonder what would happen if all the US states were independent. That might lead to a true “democracy”, with individual voices really counting for something.

Katherine, I’ve favored a none of the above vote for most of my adult life. I think independent US states would work so long as they were totally agreed on military defense and trade policy. Otherwise the UK would for sure recolonize the US – as they’ve been trying to do for the past 250 years.
