" #FirstAmendment scholar Evelyn Douek ... is a close-watcher of what's known as "jawboning," when regulators or #government officials pressure private actors, like a #SocialMedia company or broadcast network, to stifle speech. The libertarian Cato Institute calls the practice "censorship by proxy.""
...the #Trump administration's Federal Communications Commission appears to have bullied #ABC into dropping #Kimmel"

🧵1/2: BREAKING 🚨: grassroots group takes over #yourparty from #Corbyn and #Sultana. After attending a grassroots meeting 10 days ago, I came out with the strong impression the party had zero chance to win #elections: completely disorganised, stuck in the past as if #socialmedia & #GDPR hadn't been invented, and worse of all, fundamentally ego-driven & #paternalistic. That was before Zarah either complained of #misogyny or the open rift on the email list.

We should stop calling algorithmic, corporate social media “walled gardens” as that at least implies that there’s something nice inside. When I visit those sites, I know I am visiting a sewer.
