Former Vice President Al Gore called for a ban on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> algorithms, which he argued were the &#8220;digital equivalent of AR-15s.&#8221;
Gore was speaking at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP28) when he made the comments, saying that the algorithms were designed to lead readers down obscure &#8220;rabbit holes,&#8221; and as such, posed a danger to those who used the platforms.

Gore compared the so-called &#8220;rabbit holes&#8221; to carnivorous pitcher plants that lure prey to come inside — and once inside, they can&#8217;t get back out.
&#8220;If you have social media that is dominated by algorithms that pull people down these rabbit holes that are a bit like pitcher plants,&#8221; Gore began. &#8220;These algorithms, they are the digital equivalent of AR-15s, they ought to be banned – they really ought to be banned.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s an abuse of the public forum,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But when these — when people are pulled down these rabbit holes — you know what&#8217;s at the bottom of the rabbit hole, that&#8217;s where the echo chamber is. And if you spend too much time in the echo chamber, what&#8217;s weaponized is another form of AI – not artificial intelligence, artificial insanity.&#8221;
The audience laughed at that, but Gore continued: &#8220;I&#8217;m serious! I&#8217;m serious!&#8221;

&#8220;QAnon is just the best-known version of artificial insanity,&#8221; Gore said. &#8220;These devices are the enemies of self-government, and they&#8217;re the enemies of democracy. We need reforms for both democracy and capitalism.&#8221;
&#8220;Al Gore says social media algorithms are like &#8216;digital AR-15s.&#8217; To globalist elites, free speech is a dangerous weapon that must be seized. They want you to listen to their propaganda &amp; obey accordingly. The good news is you can hear the fear in his voice. They know we’re waking up,&#8221; @DC_Draino posted.

&#8220;It’s funny that Al Gore says social media algorithms are the &#8216;digital equivalent of AR-15s,&#8217; when Conservatives were the ones being silenced online throughout the pandemic,&#8221; Judge Jeanine Pirro added. &#8220;And @AlGore in case you didn’t know — AR-15s are also protected by the second amendment, genius …&#8221;
