      That @theintercept story about Facebook used by ICE to track immigrants that went pretty viral? It wasn't an immigrant. It was a legal subpoena on a child exploitation/abuse case. (Incredible correction at the end!!!) Motivated reasoning isn't just a right-wing phenomenon. 1/xpic.twitter.com/YcEds9exkk

      Most people would probably want companies to comply with legal subpoenas on child abuse cases. Most probably would not want social media data to be used to hunt dissidents. Many other things in the middle ARE THE STUFF OF POLITICS. These are political fights. That's how it works.

      There are trade-offs. If they don't retain any data, there is nothing to turn over in child-abuse cases or if dissidents are targeted. We had these discussions for previous technologies. These aren't questions for tech companies alone to decide that they will do as they please.

      We must have the political conversation. This infrastructure is shaped politically and technically. There is a range of decisions that companies can make but who died and made them king on everything—globally to boot? We need more governance and a wider range of technology, both.

      There is certainly an asymmetry (and asymmetric polarization) in the U.S. at the moment. What I want to comment on is more that motivated reasoning is always something to guard against, and that these questions are important political discussions to have!https://twitter.com/c_j_gebhardt/status/978630129063571456 …

      But the fact that is was actually corrected is one of the things that makes it different than most of what happens on Fox et al. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/978625489920319491 …

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted LCLaw

      Yep. Important discussion to have, indeed. What Thiel's Palantir is doing with big data analytics, and how it plugs into the law enforcement infrastructure. These topics have to be dragged out into the political arena.https://twitter.com/westwoodmom/status/978629119876444161 …

      The Palentir stuff is still extremely disturbing, and separate from search warrant requests.
