1 / Executive power now operates via Delete Commands in digital infrastructures. This isn't data management. It's calculated obliteration of who gets to exist in digital memory and knowledge infrastructures. Thank you @verfassungsblog.de for publishing our (@ktmac.bsky.social and my) essay!
Who decides which data disappears – and what does that mean for democracy?

NANNA THYLSTRUP (nannathylstrup.bsky.social) and KATIE MCKINNON explore how political changes in digital infrastructures reshape access to knowledge and democracy in the U.S. and beyond.
