If the are serious about standing up to they should say "OK if your AI-assisted algorithm is designed to deal with problematic content then show us your test results. We're not letting you use our populations as a guinea pig (again)"

An 'opt out' is just a cop out

Don't reckon this means anything.

The people who need to opt out won't be the ones opting out.

The minority that do opt out will be the ones who are already more wary and clued up about and .

If you haven't read "The Authoritarians" by Canadian psychology prof Bob Altemeyer you really should.

It's data driven, political theory free, an easy read and it's free (as in beer).

I long for the days when you could start a conversation with people in the town square and before long somebody would come and pour a bucket of shit on your head.

Then somebody else would come and threaten to rape a woman in your group.

Then somebody would stand in the middle of you waving a Nazi flag, before the owner of the town square gave him 50 quid.

And next time Bill Maher interviews Elon I'm sure he'll tear him to pieces for it.

Or maybe he'll kiss his ass and marvel at his genius like he did last time.

Elon's main motivation with removing the block feature is to allow anybody to pollute your threads with bullshit.

In his mind it is about 'transparency' and allowing people to 'challenge the mainstream agenda' and 'ask questions'.

The only explanation you ever need for Elon's actions is that he's a red-pilled fucking idiot.

Information is at the root of all warfare.

The invention of the printing press resulted in a century of religious conflicts.

We are currently in which is predominantly an information war.

is the atomic bomb of the 21st century.

Great graphic.

There's some terminology there that I hadn't been aware of and some excellent reading material to get me started!

a detail that often gets overlooked is the fact that the little rubber stamp made (I assume) by for the vegan milkshake cups on 6/29/19 was a very nice little design, well suited to its purpose.

understandably forgotten among shitstorms like 's hoax that caused a bunch of bomb threats & evacuations.

the times are shit, & little aesthetic details can carve out some breathing room, especially when they aren't brutally corny.

They just use 'public' social media to disrupt, radicalise and game algorithms.

We need an online environment where professionals, researchers and journalists committed to fighting and can do so unhindered by bullshit.

Cutting them off will massively reduce their ability to recruit and radicalise. Plus we should turn the tables by going into their spaces to plant seeds of deradicalisation. I do this occasionally in e.g. pro-Russia telegram channels.

I see as the place where people who are fighting against and can discuss, debate openly and share resources, without getting distracted by pointless bullshit.

This can help us get on with establishing protocols for the next generation of online enterprise and communication.
