    I wrote a piece for Politico's "Big Ideas" section. With all due respect to Orwell, or current problem isn't that truth isn't out there, somehow, but rather that it's buried or distracted from. Attention, not information, is the corrupted resource. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/09/05/too-much-free-speech-bad-democracy-219587 …pic.twitter.com/wcyDrS8b7u

        By the way, this is just a short piece in print. I have many pieces in the @nytopinion on this over the years. I have longer 2018 pieces in MIT @techreview and @WIRED, and a whole book 2016 which deals will all this at length—on how new censorship works. https://www.twitterandteargas.org/ pic.twitter.com/P6xXOQ0SBi

        Look at all the things going on in the "news cycle." Meanwhile, there is a hugely consequential election in... just 60 days. On the one hand, it is hard to stop looking at the circus. On the other hand...https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1037602720595755009 …

        60 days until the election. Any money you can give to these races, right now, will have a real impact on our chances of winning the House. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate … pic.twitter.com/Z0yNhzTUPb

        "Bogus news shared from one friend or follower to the next becomes received wisdom." I think that's always been the case. What changed was the proliferation method of said "news"and the validation that comes with social gestures such as likes/shares.

        Before, we were physically limited regarding how many people we could talk to, so spread vector was much lower. And the higher the number of likes, the more "credible" things look no matter how outrageous. Before, our opinions carried no such avail. The algo is the enemy.

        Orwell predicted modern surveillance, Huxley predicted modern censorship.

        Replying to @zeynep

        With all due respect, Neil Postman wrote about this -- and dissed Orwell -- 30 years ago in Amusing Ourselves to Death. He argued that Huxley's Brave New World was a far better description of the dangers of the modern information society.

        What do you think are the odds that I have never heard of Neil Postman that I need you to explain it to me—with link, too, in case I'm unable to Google?

        The effort to get trustworthy information is leading to balkanization based on "same like me"
