YouTube confirms to me that Trump’s suspension is being extended again and that Rudy Giuliani will be barred from monetizing his channel for at least 30 days. — PolitiTweet.org

The document shows that despite efforts by the tech industry to turn the page in Washington with a new incoming administration, SV will continue to be dogged by many of the issues it was forced to play defense against over the last four years. — PolitiTweet.org

Other priorities in the strategy doc include probing more deeply into Apple and Google's app stores and their decisions to host or remove "certain apps" -- likely a reference to Parler. And "deplatforming" gets its own bullet point in a list of nearly a dozen objectives. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: A strategy memo sent by @cathymcmorris to House Republicans on @EnergyCommerce this week and obtained by CNN outlines a plan to step up pressure on Big Tech censorship claims. The memo gestures at new legislation to sunset or require a reauthorization of Section 230. https://t.co/FvIkZqWPLm — PolitiTweet.org

Just because there's a new president doesn't mean Silicon Valley will get a fresh start in Washington. Here's what's in store for the tech industry amid a Democratic administration, on everything from antitrust to Section 230: https://t.co/Qyw8aF9xsR — PolitiTweet.org

Marty reshaped the Post in so many ways and embraced digital journalism at a time when it was still largely a novelty -- something many publishers were still trying to understand. — PolitiTweet.org

The underlying thing I'm struggling with, I guess, is whether we're all being honest with ourselves about how the internet works (now). Or are we telling ourselves a different story because it's more convenient? — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
There's something to be said for giving users what they say they want, and it makes total sense for a platform to listen to its audience members. But people also widely praise bipartisanship in the abstract, even when their *revealed preferences* show they are rabid partisans. — PolitiTweet.org

There's a part of me that fervently hopes Twitter is right, and another part of me that suspects this is Twitter's solution because it *sounded good to focus groups*: https://t.co/CLjBDqTp5W — PolitiTweet.org

Can a product rooted in the optimism of the first idea successfully conquer the harmful effects of the second? Or is that early time in the internet's history lost and gone forever, as much of a relic as CRTs and CDs? That's essentially the test that Twitter is setting up here. — PolitiTweet.org

We spent much of the past decade coming to grips with *other* realities of the internet. The internet reflects real-world power structures, amplifies the loudest among us, gives bad actors new opportunities to game and cheat the system. This is the internet of the 2010s-2020s. — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting thing about Birdwatch is how much it leans into a narrative we like to tell ourselves about the internet, which is that it is little-d democratic, levels playing fields, returns power to the people, gives voice to the voiceless, etc. A very 1990s-early 2000s idea. — PolitiTweet.org

Back to reddit, it's common to see popular ideas get voted to the top, regardless of merit. Claims that cut against the CW get "downvoted to oblivion." Reddit hasn't really come up with a good way to deal with the externalities of this, other than banning subs that spread lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Wikipedia, meanwhile, has pretty strict version control. Sometimes you get rogue edits, but they're quickly reversed. Version control isn't a thing with tweets. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The parallels to reddit and Wikipedia seem obvious, but there are critical differences that could complicate things. reddit is made up of communities that are led by moderators who have the power to establish rules and directly remove content. That isn't the case on Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org
