What's disturbing about this hack: if some bitcoin idiots who don't even know how to scam correctly can pull this off, imagine what better-resourced actors – violent extremists, a hostile nation-state – could do with sudden simultaneous control of these accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

In reporting my book on how social platforms became accelerators of misinformation, polarization, and hate, people kept telling me: You have to look at the Silicon Valley venture capitalist culture that shaped those platforms. Today was a good illustration of what they meant. — PolitiTweet.org

@nicoleperlroth It feels like it explains a lot, given their role in funding and shaping these platforms! — PolitiTweet.org

Every once in a while some social media conspiracy will percolate up to a Twitter mega-threader, sparking a big debate about it. But this stuff is absolutely pervasive on Facebook, which is usually where it comes from, and where it typically spreads unchallenged to huge audiences — PolitiTweet.org

An important question raised (but not answered) by this study: If social media platforms reward dogmatism with emotional gratification, does it train users to be more dogmatic? — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

People predisposed to political dogmatism — defined as "relatively unchangeable, unjustified certainty” — are likelier to find social media emotionally gratifying, and so use it more, and so play a greater role in shaping attitudes of more passive users. https://t.co/ArTOonx7ra — PolitiTweet.org

When your teachers told you that the US dropped the atomic bombs on Japan to end the war and avoid invading, they were unknowingly recycling "a postwar fabrication, developed by the people who used the atomic bomb.” https://t.co/ZPgDnVUSfo — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

"This ‘decision' narrative, in which Truman unilaterally decides that the atomic bombing was the lesser of two evils, is a postwar fabrication, developed by the people who used the atomic bomb. … There was no ‘decision’ to use the bomb.” https://t.co/ZPgDnVUSfo — PolitiTweet.org

I’m as frustrated by Bari Weiss’s tweets as anyone. But that shouldn’t mean turning a blind eye to a Daily Beast editor calling for her teeth to be knocked out. Threats of violence are not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
