Trump’s social media app is up and downloadable, though it’s directing new registrants to a waitlist that’s already tens of thousands of people long. https://t.co/m5ckJ9lBnI — PolitiTweet.org

@binarybits Which then exposed more people to the format, which was successful, which then led to more people writing that way, which led to the sort of homogeneity that Matt's talking about, I think. — PolitiTweet.org

@binarybits No, it's less. But my point is that many of the qualities associated with that era's writing style — the voicey take, if not necessarily the contrarian one — trickled out from blogs to smaller publications and finally to mainstream ones as writers got hired up by major outlets. — PolitiTweet.org

I think Matt largely answers his own critique about sameness here, in that many of the people who pioneered the take-y, contrarian blog post wound up dispersed across the media ecosystem in ways that influenced the overall editorial culture. https://t.co/BXHcJbilT4 — PolitiTweet.org

Second is a provision that explicitly subjects non-profits and common carriers to the law and its various regulations. "Common carrier" is a legal term that generally covers things like telcos, airlines and other essential services. https://t.co/sCb9aejVgT — PolitiTweet.org

On a press call, the senators were peppered with questions about the scope of their new bill. Two issues appear to stand out. First is the breadth of the "covered platform" definition, which does not contain exemptions for small platforms as some other bills have done. https://t.co/KYcwCaLWqt — PolitiTweet.org

It's not quite the same as Apple's move, and Google says as much when it criticizes platforms that have "bluntly" limited ad tech. Google basically wants to import its third-party-cookie-replacement plan to Android from the web browser, abstracting user data by a layer or two. — PolitiTweet.org
