Meta’s changes to content moderation are probably not designed to encourage healthy democratic debate. Instead, they seem like a strategy to curry favour with Trump and his nativist supporters, writes @EthanZ. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas…

Thinking like a sociotechnical researcher means recognizing that every technical system represents a set of choices — and paying attention to how those choices are made. As D&S Senior Researcher Ranjit Singh explains, that's something we can all do. datasociety.net/points/how-t…

From Trump’s “stolen election” to climate change denial, casting doubt is a powerful weapon, writes @EthanZ. To fight back we need the facts, and confidence. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas…

THIS IS AWESOME! John Legend, who is a native of Springfield, Ohio asks his neighbors to love their Haitian neighbors: “They are hardworking, they're ambitious, they commit less crime than native born Americans.” He also argues it’s the Christian thing to do: “How about we love one another? I grew up in the Christian tradition. We said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.” What a powerful message. Thank you John! 💙
