Recommender systems feed each person a personalised diet of content estimated to provoke or outrage that person. “recommender systems” manipulate and addict our kids, and promote childhood hurt, hate, self-loathing, and suicide. [12]Eighty two percent of the Irish public supports a binding rule that profile-based recommender systems must be off by default. [13]This overwhelming support for a binding rule switching these recommender systems off by default crosses the divisions of age, education, and income. We at ICCL urge Committee Members to press Coimisiún na Meán to ensure that recommender systems are off by default, and make this a strict, binding rule.
