Iranian propagandists are outpacing the US in the AI-generated content race, according to 404 Media. Iranian "Explosive News Team" creates AI videos at scale, including viral LEGO movies mocking Trump. Meanwhile the White House relies on outdated game memes. A Pew poll shows 61% of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the Iran conflict. https://www.404media.co/iran-is-winning-the-ai-slop-propaganda-war/ #Media #SocialMedia #AI

The internet is becoming a weird place. Its all about popularity, brand deals, and ads. How did we get here? What happened to community and people being normal. #socialmedia

Nicht verbieten, sondern regulieren müssen wir #socialMedia - denn screentime-maximierende Algorithmen sind nicht nur für Heranwachsende schlecht. Toller #podcast zum Thema von @afelia und @PDmedien.

"seismic verdict: #Meta Platforms and Alphabet’s #Google are liable for the depression, body dysmorphia, and addiction inflicted upon a young woman who began using their platforms as a small child. The finding marks the first time a jury has held #socialMedia giants legally accountable for the design of their products — not for the content upon them, but for the machinery of compulsion beneath."

Most frameworks ask: who is this person?

MOSAIC asks: where do they stand?

Not personality. Not prediction. Position - and the structure of how it varies across platforms.

A seven-article series on the theoretical architecture of MOSAIC begins here.

The grandmaster doesn't need to know the player. The position is enough.

A 20-year-old from Chico, California, accomplished what Senate hearings, congressional subcommittees, and parent groups have tried and failed to do for years. She persuaded a jury that Instagram and YouTube were designed to keep kids hooked, and that this was done on purpose. The jury awarded $6 million in damages, with Meta responsible for 70%. What really changed the case was internal emails showing the company knew what it was doing and kept going. That is the most troubling part, not just the verdict.

There is something important that has not been said clearly enough: this case was not about content. It was about design. The algorithm, the endless scroll, and the timing of notifications were at the center. For 30 years, Section 230 has protected these companies by treating them as neutral pipes. Now, this jury decided the pipe itself is the problem.

Hundreds of similar lawsuits are waiting in line. The first federal trial is set for June in San Francisco. For the first time, Zuckerberg took the stand, which probably means we will see more moments like this. Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s attorney used a jar of M&Ms to show the jury what $415 billion looks like. Was it corny? Maybe. But the jury got the point.

Tech companies have survived every regulatory threat by waiting them out. But juries are not as easy to influence.
