A really interesting look at how the war in Ukraine is playing out on Wikipedia, with editors of its Russian-language site debating the appropriate word choice to describe the conflict https://t.co/ksNGCHzC0T https://t.co/LxCtC6tLPc — PolitiTweet.org

The WH blames the teen mental health crisis (in part) on tech platforms "which for years have been conducting a national experiment on our children and using their data to keep them clicking."

Microsoft used to talk about building a new Geneva Convention for the digital age. Now, it's saying cyberattacks in Ukraine raise serious concerns under *existing* war crimes law. Ethical debates about limiting cyberwar are no longer theoretical. https://t.co/T27R0SQdrb — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Twitter says starting today, it'll label all content linking to Russian state media and will demote that content algorithmically, instead of just labeling state media accounts on its platform. Here's what Twitter says the labels will look like. https://t.co/VCCg4VAv1S — PolitiTweet.org

Looking at YouTube through a Ukrainian IP address, it seems RT's Arabic- and Spanish-language channels are still available from within the country. The odds of most Ukrainians speaking Arabic or Spanish is probably pretty low, but pictures and videos are universal. https://t.co/PwL8XBKsWv — PolitiTweet.org

@therealmadmike @fanofwalt @deflep977 @dish @ATT @OANN That is not accurate, either. AT&T — which does own CNN’s parent company, WarnerMedia — spun off DirecTV into a separate company last year, though AT&T continues to hold a 70% stake. https://t.co/tOej69IsA0 https://t.co/W6p5rJPSev — PolitiTweet.org
