@digiphile Point taken. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that as a normative ideal, truth-telling has gained ground over both-sidesism in recent years, whether outlets live up to it or not. Key areas where this debate has played out: Calling racism racism, calling lies lies, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Yet Zuck continues to cling to the notion that Facebook is simply an innocent bystander in a laissez-faire marketplace of Good Ideas and the platform is simply where Good Ideas go to rise to the top. It’s a simplistic model that’s years behind the curve in media and academia. — PolitiTweet.org

In media, the climate crisis has forced a crisis where the choice is between both-sidesing a phenomenon 99% of scientists believe is happening, or presenting the 99% view as the settled consensus. With some exceptions, truth-telling over both-sidesing has largely won out. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Thing is, in both politics and journalism, this model is now years out of date. For the past decade, political scientists have written loads of research on how swing voters are mostly a myth. https://t.co/8jfsUhymbq https://t.co/H4fNE5YmNQ — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Zuck’s frame is that every debate has two sides, and thus the truth must be in the middle. It’s a model that shares roots with notions of swing voters and independents, a belief that compromise involves each side making equal concessions. — PolitiTweet.org

I keep thinking about Zuckerberg’s responses here, which are an echo of what he’s consistently said. What I find interesting about them is it reflects a fundamentally 20th-century model for thinking about media and information. https://t.co/fPvtOMQKou — PolitiTweet.org

You couldn’t have timed it better. 1. Senators pointedly ask if tech companies hire conservatives. 2. Hours later, Anonymous reveals himself as the former DHS chief of staff under Trump who was later hired by Google. — PolitiTweet.org

About 95% of the hearing was theater. Lawmakers are dug in, the companies have their talking points, and the public enjoys seeing CEOs squirm under the spotlight. That’s pretty much it. Congress has always been theater, so we’re in pretty much the same place we were a year ago. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Republicans asked the CEOs how many of their employees are conservative; the execs said they don’t ask, which seems like a normal response any company would give to *preclude* allegations of political discrimination but here is framed as some kind of damning, evasive response. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter’s policy proposals were kind of a jab at Facebook in that they were explicitly framed as things society could do to keep large firms from entrenching their dominance. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook warned that the result would be increased bullying and harassment. Should we believe them? Who knows! We didn’t get that far. — PolitiTweet.org

The closest we got to actual policy was when Sen. Capito asked what the effect would be of amending the part of §230 that says platforms can moderate content they deem objectionable. — PolitiTweet.org

Per Dorsey, Twitter has no general misinformation policy, but it does have specific misinfo policies on Covid and elections. They apply to world leaders, but also don’t, in that a world leaders policy protects them. Except when tweets to a domestic audience could cause harm. — PolitiTweet.org

If anything, reducing oil subsidies is likely to create a *more* efficient market for energy, incentivizing oil companies (which are really just energy companies) to respond to supply and demand. Renewable energy is possibly the *most capitalist* thing to do — PolitiTweet.org
