   Woah. Watching Twitter misuse our research by putting warnings on links to Mastodon.

   Here for example is the warning that @georgetakei "may be unsafe."

   In a study led by Ben Kaiser at Princeton, we tested the effect of interstitial warnings on user behavior.

     In my 2017 dissertation, I argued that unchecked centralized power in platform moderation & corporate data science creates a problem of authoritarianism.

     Over the years I've sometimes wondered if I was being too harsh. It turns out I wasn't.

     Hi Joanna, great point! I encourage you to read the article, which is very compatible with regulation that includes communities/citizens and citizen scientists, as I have been consistently arguing for years.

     @natematias @owasow My concern is the opposite. We have essential infrastructure we haven't identified as such or governed as utilities because since we "won the cold war" we stopped enforcing antitrust. #Inequality has skyrocketed, and with it (like usual) #polarisation #polarization & volatility. We need government intervention to secure this resource, in fact transnational multi-government involvement.
