@cwarzel I remember that BuzzFeed had a really good newsletter dedicated to explaining what that alternative reality looked like, so the rest of us didn’t have spend time spelunking in it. Must have been exhausting to write. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide Also that the pajama sellers, unlike big brands that can be shamed/pressured into turning off Facebook ads for a minute, really rely on FB and IG. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cwarzel I mean, many of the stories are about FB’s complicity in January 6, so that’s a non-starter. And several are about things happening to non-white people who don’t live in the US, so ditto. Instagram is Bad For Teens could work but would require effort. — PolitiTweet.org

@markseibel @benyt Wondering if having multiple outlets write their own version of the same story dilutes the impact or widens it. — PolitiTweet.org

Good story. The recurring “why doesn’t press/govt focus on YouTube” question may have multiple answers but a big one is: YT has huge cultural impact but not on the oldsters in the press and govt. It’s a giant thing they can’t see. — PolitiTweet.org

Feb 2021: “"We feel like we're well prepared for these changes and frankly because these changes are in line with our privacy philosophy.” https://t.co/e7fDvpyDvE — PolitiTweet.org

Snap, like Facebook, says Apple ad changes hurt their biz: “While we anticipated some degree of business disruption, the new Apple-provided measurement solution did not scale as we had expected, making it more difficult… to measure and manage their ad campaigns for iOS.” — PolitiTweet.org

Seems like the best case scenario for vax apps is that they are speed bumps. Won’t make you safe but reminds you of safe/socially acceptable behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

I don’t think it’s surprising that businesses and their employees don’t want to spend time (or get punched) scanning your vax app. But good data here from @rebheilweil https://t.co/b2fGGCAPcu https://t.co/4f9OiaeR6C — PolitiTweet.org

Otoh! As Levine notes, unlike the standard Trump grifts, this one will attract immediate regulatory headaches and shareholder lawsuits, because securitized. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Key point here: It literally doesn’t matter if Trump Media produces a single blog post, let alone a social network + TV + “tech stack” company. The SPAC is a securitized Trump fan club. (Again, wait for the NFTs). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

The Trump SPAC was inevitable. Almost weird it didn’t happen sooner. “It does feel a little bit like all of recent financial history has been leading up to this moment?” @matt_levine of course. https://t.co/Hg8rqGDoTQ https://t.co/3d1LxBJctc — PolitiTweet.org
