@lafemmefollette @THECITYNY @FreshDirect i also enjoyed the tweet about how they should suddenly become a national delivery service — PolitiTweet.org

@lafemmefollette @THECITYNY @FreshDirect informed guess concurs - plus distribution centers that can't fun at full capacity bc they are trying to give workers space — PolitiTweet.org

Re: Local business shutdowns in NYC. @THECITYNY, which has been *excellent* work during this, points out that for laundromats (and, presumably, restaurants) owner/worker safety fears — or employees who are simply too sick to work — is a major factor. https://t.co/wxyK0CRktZ — PolitiTweet.org

That it's short, and only on your phone, and can move from portrait to landscape, are all secondary/irrelevant features. It boils down to this basic question: Do you want to spend your time — any of your time —watching this stuff? — PolitiTweet.org

My mini review: It's a streaming video service. There are a lot of them out there, and in the screens I saw, I haven't seen any must-see content there. Most of it looks like stuff you can already see on TV or Netflix; some if it looks like YouTube. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler @dens @aexm Yes, and I believe that porn and medical records are the only privacy issues real people *actually* care about. But I think they'll still opt-in. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@RonWechsler @dens @aexm We say we care about privacy but we don't act that way. There would be a lot of good op-eds about this but I think you'd have lots of buy in if we were told it was crucial to saving lives/reopening the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@aexm @dens And yes, there will be a set of people who won't do this for varying reasons, ranging from well-founded concerns to kooky ones. But "update your app to help save lives" seems like an effective to call to action, in large part bc it doesn't require much action. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@aexm @dens Would certainly be unintended consequences and f-ups. But we are in a world where people are willing to take random drug cocktails bc they read about it somewhere on the internet (or saw it on Fox News or heard Trump talking about it). — PolitiTweet.org
