It has long been my opinion that what first ruined
most (apart from being corporate-for-profit) was firstly when people started filling it with fully automated content and secondly when people started using lists instead of actually following those that they... followed.
Automated posts will near absolutely always result in less quality than if it is a person that e.g. reads an article and manually summarizes it.
I for example post a lot of stuff from some news agencies that has high quality and under-reported content, but are hrmmm... not primarily best at the English language. To then just auto-post those headlines without corrections, context and additions is just doing the actual content of the article a disservice.
Please consider prioritizing manual posts over automated (not saying MINE, just... in general).
"Vulnerable areas", specifically in context of "social risks, collective ability and undesired events"... was what xenophobes somehow managed to translate to "no-go zones" for Sweden, while the report which had that as title didn't say anything about regular people being unable to "go" anywhere.
Obviously nowhere near either actual translation or anything considered a summary those words,
but this intentional mistranslation has had the effect of furthering the socio-economic segregation through false fear, which is a direct opposite of what could help counter exactly those "social risks", etc,
but most likely that was the desired result.
They want to create a double-sided separation of "us" vs "them" to generate fear of he then unknown "others" and so generate further xenophobia.
Anyone using the phrase as an actual existing thing contributes to making all that worse.
