No matter how many times I hear @mariaressa.bsky.social talk about her experience, her work, her analysis of manipulation and influence operations conducted on
& by #BigTech platforms, I’m inspired to keep fighting against concentration of power in our info ecosystem & for pro-democracy alternative

Amid threats to EU sovereignty & digital regulation, what was the EU ambassador to the US’ message to #BigTech? “We love you” & “We will continue to love you” & Europe has more Google search users than we have citizens. No mention of its illegal monopoly, censorial threats against trade & DST. #fail

Latte is enjoying the print version of Tech Lash by Tom Wheeler of @brookingsinst.bsky.social as I listen to the audio book while prepping Thanksgiving stuffing (well, one of them!). A must read/listen for anyone working in tech or AI

Finally published! On the Frontlines of the Information Wars: How Algorithmic Gatekeepers and National Security Impact Journalism“ is out as part of an edited volume which seem especially relevant now as corporate and political power promise to align even more under the Trump regime #BigTech

Exactly. Perfectly put by Knight Foundation's new president "Philanthropy is not a business model, it's a revenue stream"

Interesting discussion with @jay.bsky.team and @mmasnick.bsky.social about protocols not platforms, composable moderation, and sustainability with excellent moderation from @yoyoel.com, former trust and safety lead at Twitter. But big Q is how much people really want/will customizability

How many bubble teas per day is too many?! In #Taipei for WAN-IFRA's World News Congress for a panel about how journalism & science can prepare for crisis amid rising polarization, declining trust. First time in this amazing city! https://wan-ifra.org/events/congress2023/?pagetype=programme

I'm at the Privacy + Security Forum collaborative AI policymaking panel where Matthew Reisman CIPL pushes back on framing AI as sooo complex, noting many complex industries & tech are still regulated "it's incumbent upon us to explain." Exactly. Complexity is not an excuse
