The game changed a dozen+ years ago, which we recognized and honored @wemedia. But things changed a lot more after that, including FB rendering TW a niche. I canโ€™t even remember when Twitter lost its charm, even that was long ago. Thanks for the memories.

Itโ€™s about time, and thatโ€™s a tragic and flippant thing to say. Think about all the lives and families destroyed by this one absurd and racist front in the war on drugs, and all those still locked up in state prisons.

What's going on with docs throwing TOU errors @Google @googledevs @googlepubpolicy ? A group I'm working with just encountered this - same as 5 years ago: washingtonpost.com/news/the-โ€ฆ I can't tell you how alarming it is to lose access to *OUR* work in progress. cc @doctorow @EFF
One private corporation shouldnโ€™t have this much power over our public conversationโ€”and theyโ€™re still dancing around the fact that their algorithm gives a free boost to bigotry and disinformation. #BreakUpBigTech nytimes.com/2021/11/09/technโ€ฆ

Facebook is a digital machine engineered and optimized to encourage addictive and dehumanizing behavior, reward creators of divisive content, spread and maximize the โ€œvelocityโ€ of disinformation. bit.ly/3kliV8w

Weekend plan: I'm dreading but also looking forward to watching the new 9/11 Museum doc from Steve Rosenbaum and Pam Yoder @magnifymedia. I'm among the many native New Yorkers who have not visited the museum and I still don't want to. theoutsidersept11.com/

Something new, a pledge to focus on building the nation we want, not "back to normal." Thanks for signing and sharing if it rings true to you.
"Itโ€™s long past time for a #JustEconomy. Our economic and social fractures were devastating before COVID, and the pandemic was a painful reminder that inequality isnโ€™t simply about how much stuff you have. Itโ€™s about life and death." @anachison bit.ly/3uTmYLS

Noted: @nytimes cared about the gas leak in rich White LA suburb, not the one in poor Black Alabama. Anybody else interested? CC @deanbaquet, @PostBaron, @Sulliview, @benyt, @CJR ncrc.org/with-covid-19-takinโ€ฆ

Tech / social now reigns over personal sharing and profits that are transparently extracted from malicious disinfo. But big news brands have retained and consolidated enormous power over what we know. Their choices and failings are still important. @jeffjarvis @jayrosen_nyu /2
