@accountabletech.bsky.social’s @nicolegill.bsky.social: “NetChoice’s continued assault on tech safety makes it abundantly clear that tech companies would sooner pour millions into legal fees than protect young people from the dangers of their profit-driven algorithms.”

We must build news anew. "For MAGA Republicans, disinformation isn’t just a byproduct of unregulated tech. It’s the goal" @nicolegill.bsky.social broligarchy explainer www.techpolicy.press/big-tech-cho... Dems step up & highlight the dangers of a MAGA-aligned surveillance state! Protect our data!

The marriage of MAGA and Big Tech is an existential threat to democracy, writes Accountable Tech co-founder and executive director Nicole Gill.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

Trump and his his billionaire friends are making Americans less safe in order to further line their pockets.

As our Co-founder @nicolegill.bsky.social said: "Meta has gone out of its way to show fealty to Trump...This settlement is the latest example of that — a signal that Meta is willing to do whatever it takes to appease this administration.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“In the weeks following the 2024 election, Meta has gone out of its way to show fealty to Trump and join his far-right clique. This settlement is the latest example of that — a signal that Meta is willing to do whatever it takes to appease this administration.”

Would love to get Meta to explain why paying to settle Trump's suit alleging he was wrongfully booted after J6 isn't a precedent to settling cases from other users aggrieved about content moderation calls. (I've asked this one.)

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

Maybe Mark Zuckerberg doesn't need a Manhattan-sized data center?

Excellent thread putting today's news about DeepSeek in context

Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need stability, especially in neighboring countries. Tariff war, trade war -- guess what that does? It doesn't just drive up the prices for Americans consumers, but it also drives up migration."

Foreign policy by tweet, and because of two men's egos.

There won't be a 2028 election unless Democrats start calling Trump's first week what it is: a string of broken promises. This doesn't mean responding to every action, but it does mean actually forming sentences without testing the bejesus out of them.

The plan is to crash the economy to suppress wages.

From me and @accountabletech.bsky.social on the SCOTUS decision to uphold TikTok sell or ban law

Hey Meta advertisers, Are you cool with your dollars going to prop up the whims of a white nationalist? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Of course Mark Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' includes shoving his former colleague and friend Sheryl Sandberg under the bus to none other than Stephen Miller. the MAGA-fication of Meta continues

Throws Sheryl Sandberg under the bus and sucks up to none other than Stephen Miller. Absolutely repugnant.

Our Co-founder and Executive Director @nicolegill.bsky.social gets straight to the point: “Four years ago this week, Facebook banned Donald Trump for inciting a violent insurrection that resulted in the deaths of 5 people and disrupted our democracy..." thehill.com/policy/techn...

“These companies have flourished because of a lack of regulation, and these leaders are now making choices that can insulate them down the road,” said @nicolegill.bsky.social, our Co-founder and Executive Director. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Fantastic. We need more of these, asap. Congratulations @normeisen.bsky.social and @jenrubin.bsky.social!

Now feels like a good time to remind folks that in 2021 @accountabletech.bsky.social created a centralized repository of all the news made by Frances Haugen's trove of internal documents from the company then known as Facebook. Bookmark it: facebookpapers.com

Meta has always bent (or ignored) its own rules to further enrich themselves. I'm old enough to remember XCheck, Facebook's list of VIPs that were shielded from its content moderation policies. Of course they do the same thing for big ad spenders. www.wsj.com/articles/fac...

In case you’re interested in the weeds of how bad this is, this is a redline version of Meta’s formerly Hateful SPEECH now Hateful CONDUCT rule.

Trump got advance notice, but not the actual fact checkers.

Today's Playbook PM is "presented by Meta." This is how it frames today's news: "Meta sends Trump a friend request."

My statement on this morning's news from Meta. the TLDR? Preemptive capitulation to Trump from Zuck and Meta

preemptive capitulation from Facebook and Zuckerberg

We’ve been stuck in a social media hellscape for so long that many of us forgot that browsing Twitter or Instagram used to be enjoyable. But the rapid adaptation of Bluesky is actually raising the user experience across social media platforms. Why? Competition. Read more here:

Posting this again, from @columjournreview.bsky.social in October: "Trump’s campaign against the media has taken time to have its intended effect, but have an effect it has." We saw the trend lines clearly, but still didn't expect to be this right this much this fast: www.cjr.org/analysis/ant...

It was honestly surprising how chill everyone seemed about Altman's repeated deflections on safety. Over and over he said, "well I assume smart people will figure it out." Oh also, governments will have to work together lol www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/b...

Meta claims AI had a limited impact across their platforms this election. But a new report from @issueonereform.bsky.social finds significant use of generative AI by foreign actors to spread electoral disinformation on social media. issueone.org/articles/flo...

These headlines were 3 days apart.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"
