Medium@dangillmor @kouroshk @declanm We are a platform. Any changes to an article are up to the author.

Medium needs to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up
-
@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm I'd be pissed if@medium updated one of my posts. I'd want to do it. -
@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm If a "platform" pays for content, does it assume any responsibility for it then being factual? -
@digiphile@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Alex's question is fair. -
@digiphile@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Something like that. This highlights the fact that I have no idea still what Medium is. -
@digiphile@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm: does Twitter as a platform bear any responsibility for making sure tweets are factual? -
@mathewi@digiphile@medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Oh no. Oh no. -
@mathewi@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Twitter doesn't pay for tweets, AFAIK. Does that change your thinking or answer at all? -
@digiphile@mathewi@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Paying for content changes the relationship. -
@digiphile@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Medium doesn't always pay, though. Might not have in this case. -

@alex:@digiphile@mathewi@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm Paying for content changes the relationship -
@mathewi@alex@digiphile@dangillmor In addition to sometimes paying, Medium also sometimes editorially promotes, as it did in this case. -
@jonathanglick@mathewi@digiphile@dangillmor Welp, then they have a moral stake. -
@alex@mathewi@digiphile@dangillmor Maybe there could have been a way to promote it more cautiously? -
@Medium@dangillmor@kouroshk@declanm doesn't fully match up with my experience with being editorially featured: http://www.sampletheweb.com/2013/03/26/early-observations-on-having-a-post-featured-as-an-editorial-pick-on-medium/ …
