Different perspectives

1) Platforms assume what people want to see based on experiments invisible to the people being experimented on.

2) Platforms tell people what assumptions they are making.

3) Platforms ask people to contribute consciously to decisions about what they see.

4) People are in actual control over what they see.

5) People control what they see and do so with their own wellbeing in mind.

6) People control what they share and do so with others’ wellbeing in mind.

7) People can choose one platform and communicate at will with another.

Frances Haugen just lost a ton of credibility in a swift move of arguing that encryption is bad and Facebook needs to be able to read everyone's message to protect them. đŸ€” x.com/AlecMuffett/st


From this article: telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/10/2


Forgot to follow up on this. Haugen says she was misrepresented in the Telegraph article. She fully supports “e2e open source encryption software” and uses it herself on a daily basis. What she was questioning was Facebook’s claim of e2e encryption.

Modern day marketing strategy where employees are asked to to post support for their company or a colleague on their personal LinkedIn feeds, and then behind the scenes all employees are told to go like that post.

Are we having fun yet? 😬

Imagine being the person called up by your superior, asking why you haven’t liked the latest post by a colleague. And that colleague happens to be someone who is inappropriately flirting with you in direct messages. Liking the post could encourage that behavior



and that’s just one way this goes sideways. Spend some time with this problem space and there are many ways this can qualify as abuse of power. Perhaps a discussion topic for the next marketing meeting.

Never thought I’d say this but buying print and tv ads at least didn’t put pressure on employees to act as vehicles for commerce within their own personal spaces.
