@jmspool Not only that, in this context you’d be able to check off that step if everyone on the team verbally agrees that they empathize with ”users”. It does not encourage research. ”Empathy” as such can be very misleading because you can never be certain it’s something you have.

@jmspool That’s why I talk about ”impact assessment” - because it’s more helpful to actually find out if you are harming people, than it is for you to build up a, often illusory, feeling of understanding how other people behave and feel in different contexts.

@harrybr As much as I don’t doubt it, is there a link to the poll or a screenshot of it in context of the website? I tried finding it but not sure I’m looking in the right place.

@harrybr Found the Newsweek report. newsweek.com/trump-fake-pol…

@harrybr Aaaand found the actual Inaugural Year Approval Poll in the Internet Archive. Question 3 is also a doozy. 😀

It’s clear here how Facebook equates itself to a country. But ”free speech” does not mean you have to allow everything on your privately owned platform. It does mean that Facebook are free to NOT allow content that harms people. They have made their choice in this matter. x.com/facebook/statu…

Also, the quip about ”both the left and the right” is particularly worrisome. Nobody is saying that misinformation or hate speech is ok either way. But Facebook are also not likely students of the paradox of intolerance.
