[conf.s, social media bans] A large group moved to repeal the social media ban at #CVPR2023 -- motion 3. Vote appropriately if you're attending CVPR this year.

(I am pro repeal.)

Since we can't measure what will be good / ban for individuals or groups, and we can't know what is good or bad for individuals / groups not ourselves, double-blind / anonymity periods / bans etc. come from individual preferences. Applying mathematical logic to these preferences doesn't make sense.

[anonymity period, social media, academic fights] I have definite opinions about these things, that openness is better & there shouldn't be restrictions abt talking about your work by conf.s or journals.

& have been thinking of how to get some quantitative evidence of how one approach is better than the other.

It is an impossible task. I'm coming around to the idea that double blind is used b/c it can be ~measured, while other pros/ cons cannot.

Looks like Montana Governor Greg Gianforte's changes to the TikTok ban bill could accidentally ban all social media entirely. Cats, it's time to start a "meow"vement to repeal this pawsitively ridiculous law! 🐾😼📱 #Montana #SocialMediaBan #CatsofTwitter
