Maybe a good day for my articles on the public sphere and platforms. http://firstmonday.org/article/view/4901/4097 … https://www.academia.edu/20082751/As_the_Pirates_Become_CEOs_The_Closing_of_the_Open_Internet._Daedalus_145_1_65_78._Winter_2016._http_doi.org_10.1162_DAED_a_00366 … http://ctlj.colorado.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tufekci-final.pdf …
Look, Facebook *caring* about the content it promotes is a good thing. I think it should care, and care a lot more.
My point is NOT it's bad for Facebook to care about content but that 1-Facebook (and Google) concentrate power; 2-Are not open about this.+
3-That many will like their current choices is no guarantee of anything; 4-That they censor news about Facebook is indicative about issues;+
5-Facebook & Google that have enormous power to shape the public sphere. They should grapple with this but also be open & more accountable.
On the right, "Former Facebook Workers" start trending on Twitter. Will it trend on Facebook at all? Anyone?pic.twitter.com/LTHrTjI2YM
@deaneckles yeah, on mine too. I still don't think trending is that important, but the algorithm is, for better or worse.
@deaneckles I wish the "Facebook related news" part got more attention. That Facebook may be tempted to suppress criticism? Important.
@deaneckles BTW, almost every institution on the planet is tempted to suppress criticism. That's not new, but important for gatekeepers.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
