Will a musician. After Liam Payne’s death, i.am has suggested that there needs to be a significant change behind the scenes at social media companies regarding hate speech and trolling.
The Voice UK judge will.i.am is blaming social network bosses for allowing hate speech and online trolling on platforms. The Black Eyed Peas star, 50, believes social media giants, not the music business, hold the key to young stars’ welfare.
He asserted that the algorithm is the source of the hate that is most prevalent. People will say and be the worst if the algorithm amplifies hate. What we do on these platforms is shattered and used to sabotage everyone.
He was speaking at the 11th Breakthrough Prize ceremony, which honoured science and mathematics luminaries. He made his plea to key players at Silicon Valley’s biggest brands – Google, Facebook, X and YouTube.
He continued, “They need to change the algorithm to be more mindful, especially as AI is developing.” Do we want an AI that reflects how cruelly treated people are by humans? The worst possible configuration would be that.
In recent weeks stars like Robbie Williams have proposed that record labels offer greater support to young artists dealing with the challenges of fame and fortune in today’s digital world.
The Black Eyed Peas star, who was close friends with the former X Factor judge Liam Payne, paid tribute to his pal on the red carpet. “I pray for Cheryl and her kid. I pray for Liam’s spirit and his family,” he said.
Liam died aged 31 in Argentina after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires in October. An autopsy on his death states this was consistent with a fall from height, located on the third floor of the Casa Sur hotel on Godoy Cruz Street.
The Sistema de Atencio Medica de Emergencia said in a statement on October 16: “British musician Liam James Payne, composer and guitarist, former member of the band One Direction, died today after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Palermo.”
According to the government, Liam’s death was caused by “polytrauma and internal and external bleeding.” His death was caused by both Liam’s internal and external hemorrhages in his skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs. A UK coroner’s verdict revealed that he died from “polytrauma” from a number of traumatic injuries.
During his time in the country, the musician turned out in support of his former band mate, Niall Horan. In what was his final appearance in public, Liam was seen in a VIP box alongside the crowds at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires.
Fans filmed him wildly clapping along before he took the time to interact and shake hands. He was spotted singing along to Summer Lovin from the Grease soundtrack as he jumped down closer to them. He was sporting a plain white t-shirt and a dark denim jacket.
At the time, clips of Liam dancing and interacting with fans went viral on TikTok with some cruel trolls branding him ‘cringe’ and slammed him for acting awkward.
