Yeah, gotta sell ads falsely claiming that French students are being "taught to fight for the caliphate." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/Samhanknr/status/920652356462706689 …
It's not just the ads. It's the engagement metrics and the view that connectivity, without corresponding institutions, is an unalloyed good.
The problem is structural. It's not about personalities. It's the kind of structures these companies have set up.https://twitter.com/dealbook/status/920459540730171392 …
Yes. But it's public (can be countered), expensive, and not effective. FB & Google, moved from alchemy to chemistry. https://twitter.com/JeremyOwens_/status/920655640619515905 …
Not just, but certainly many orders of magnitude more. But core problem is that we're the product—not the customer.https://twitter.com/JoeBeOne/status/920656918217220101 …

Yes, no difference between public speech and surveillance-based, hidden ad-targeting + algo amplification. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/920693640632131586 …
This is about monetizing surveillance and attention in a submerged, privatized "public-sphere", not speech. Enough with the 19th century.
It's uncomfortable and complex but deliberate misinformation may be speech—but it's often also a form of censorship. https://twitter.com/aaronhuertas/status/920692434119557121 …
