  • Day 358 | What The Fuck Just Hap­pened Today? —
  • Wash­ing­ton Month­ly | How to Fix Facebook—Before It Fix­es Us — “Thanks to the U.S. government’s lais­sez-faire approach to reg­u­la­tion, the inter­net plat­forms were able to pur­sue busi­ness strate­gies that would not have been allowed in pri­or decades. No one stopped them from using free prod­ucts to cen­tral­ize the inter­net and then replace its core func­tions. No one stopped them from siphon­ing off the prof­its of con­tent cre­ators. No one stopped them from gath­er­ing data on every aspect of every user’s inter­net life. No one stopped them from amass­ing mar­ket share not seen since the days of Stan­dard Oil. No one stopped them from run­ning mas­sive social and psy­cho­log­i­cal exper­i­ments on their users. No one demand­ed that they police their plat­forms. It has been a sweet deal.”<br>

I’d argue just for the sake of argu­ing. I would destroy any belief, just to be right. (…) I’m not sure I feel empa­thy. But I do always try to make the empa­thet­ic choice. It’s an intel­lec­tu­al thing for me. I’m intel­lec­tu­al­ly con­vinced of the need for empathy.<br>

I did­n’t write any­thing into this cat­e­go­ry for almost 2½ years. In a way I thought the inter­net and the social net­works would grow up and post­ings that fit into this cat­e­go­ry would van­ish. I was wrong. What actu­al­ly changes is that peo­ple aren’t ashamed of their utter­ings no mat­ter how ridicu­lus they are as open state­ments.
