Couple highlights from Sen. Blumenthal's opener: – His office repeated a test from a few months ago with a dummy Insta account and found that its algorithm still pushes pro-eating disorder content – He views Mosseri's call for industry self-regulation as a complete nonstarter — PolitiTweet.org

Instagram wants you to believe that the feature is really effective: more than 90% of those who turn on the reminders keep them on. But it's silent on whether it actually leads to people logging off, or what % of teens actually opt in. https://t.co/5v13h35yGo https://t.co/7zasxXenzc — PolitiTweet.org

Instagram's announcement yesterday of Take a Break — a feature that reminds users to log off every once in a while — gets its own section in the testimony. But this part is really important: Take a Break requires users to opt-in; it's not on by default. https://t.co/Ln7Eyz2qaM — PolitiTweet.org

So what happens when people start maliciously telling Twitter "that isn't right" under this new reporting system? Will that interfere with Twitter's ability to proactively detect new trends in harassment and misinfo, as the test is intended to do? https://t.co/fCHcTZjBJz https://t.co/0rsmpUcMDo — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty please — if you're a commercial driver, I know you need a safe spot to make deliveries, but I respectfully ask that you not use the city's bike infrastructure do it. These poor bikeshare users haul their bikes into the street, which defeats the purpose of a dedicated lane. https://t.co/xwsvKK2L9t — PolitiTweet.org
