    Transparency and disclosure, while positive in many ways, aren't magic bullets or solutions especially given how technology infrastructure operates now. #confessyourunpopularopinion

        Also true. Transparency, disclosure and gaming by small cadres of organized actors can go together. Need to consider the whole. https://twitter.com/holden/status/928281442303594496 …

        I have not read this, but I know of many cases where transparency massively backfired. Without other institutions & safeguards, the powerful can benefit more.https://twitter.com/JamesGDAngelo/status/923839171474677760 …

        Great work with these tweets. Just want to mention. At Harvard we find that congressional transparency (introduced in 1970) is one of the principal drivers of inequality, corporate power and lack of response on climate change.

        Fake news on social media is a problem, but each of us is personally responsibility for what we read and share. #confessyourunpopularopinion

        Individual responsibility does not negate the responsibility to structure institutions that allow for healthier society. Both are true.

        yep, everyone is rushing to suggest disclosure and transparency. Which is fine, as long as the context and limits and downsides are considered.

        My sense is that transparency not sufficient and even misleading w/o some middleman (e.g., journalist) to provide important context of info

        Your entire body of work is an unpopular opinion, especially in the tech community. (I'm doing my best to change that!)
