I am not really On Here very much anymore, but I am parachuting in with a new job announcement: stoked to say Monday will be my first day at The @verge , as a senior producer on the Decoder team. :)
"The essential truth of every social network is that the product is content moderation, and everyone hates the people who decide how content moderation works. Content moderation is what Twitter makes — it is the thing that defines the user experience." theverge.com/2022/10/28/234…
I just realized that 50, 100, 150 years from now there will be kids who have to be able to define "Twitter" for a test in their 21st century US history unit, because you can't discuss the Trump era without mentioning its existence, and I don't know whether to laugh or despair
I was going to tag all my friends who would appreciate this car I regularly walk past, but it's like 30 people and I'd forget some anyway. (@retconning tho)
What I want in my timeline is: 1. Tweets from the accounts I follow 2. In the order in which they were tweeted. That's it. Nothing else. Ever. washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
"We're ceasing operations effective immediately."
"We're ceasing operations effective immediately."
Someday my children are going to learn about this era in high school and college, and I'm going to have to say, "No, actually, it was EVEN MORE ABSURD than you think. Yes, those things really happened. With that timing. I am not making this up."
Veggies: definitely part of a healthy dinner. Listeria: definitely NOT. con.st/Dv37V6f
Admit it, the first thing you thought of when you realized @facebook might be down was to go on Facebook and ask your friends.

Fun to see Microsoft and Google scrapping publicly on how Big Tech should support journalism. @lauren_feiner reports cnbc.com/2021/03/12/mic…
The @FTC just fined @twitter $250M fine for collecting consumers' PI (phone and email) for “safety and security purposes” — and then "inadvertently" using that information to target advertising (This came via Q2 earnings call, not an FTC press release) theverge.com/2020/8/3/21353…
As the pandemic gets worse, we're going to see increased pressure by all governments to access #private consumer data to identify: 1) who is infected 2) who they've been in contact with ("contact tracing") This is going to be an incredibly slippery slope if we're not careful.
Senators @MarkWarner & @HawleyMO just announced "The Dashboard Act" to require large online services to tell users what information they collect and what the commercial value of that data is to the platform Similarities to #CCPA 1798.125(b)(1) Bill text: scribd.com/document/41409…
This is a 'product safety' issue where the product is distribution and sale of user generated content. Firms that distribute user generated content for commercial gain should have an enhanced duty of care to ensure that the content is not harmful.
Good indicator of the dominance of #BIGTECH: when the heads of both #antitrust regulators are conflicted from working on cases related to the most dominant platform. DoJ: Delrahim worked for @Google (ht @SenWarren) FTC: Simons' firm at FTC worked for @newscorp (complainant)
