Throw all the people currently in charge of content algorithms for literally every social media into the deepest darkest oubliette until they suffocate in their own shit, and then fix the algorithms so that they don't promote fascist shit. Easy

Cannot be done.

Just ban algorithmic weighing in social networks.

No ‘recommended for you’. No ‘you may be interested in’. Just a chronological timeline, a subscription/following feature and a search function.

Weird, China seems to not have a problem with fascist content proliferating

and throwing the engineers of the current fascism pipeline into a dark hole is very much doable

in my country, fascist think tanks were actually paying a historically high amount of money for us social media to promote fascism.
