For those on the Right, free speech means the freedom to spread misinformation, fear, and hatred without being held to account. Read @adelewalton.bsky.social on the UK Online Safety Act.

I wrote about my thoughts on Instagram’s repost feature. It’s a smart and sinister move to keep us hooked at a time when posting on social media platforms feels too icky. loggingoffclub.substack.com/p/new-instag...

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I'm this month's guest writer in The Logging Club newsletter, discussing the yearning I have for the children to be able to log into child-centric spaces online. So much fun working with @adelewalton.bsky.social - whose book you should read if you have not!! open.substack.com/pub/loggingo...

YouTube says it banned Andrew Tate. So why is his face still all over their platform? Hear from activist and book author @adelewalton.bsky.social who explains our findings. Watch. Share. Call on YouTube to stop enabling & profiting from Andrew Tate’s extreme misogyny.

In many ways, Bender and Hanna successfully demonstrate that AI is a con. It fails at productivity and intelligence, while the hype launders a series of transformations that harm workers, exacerbate inequality and damage the environment. Nice write-up of The AI Con by Luke Munn @theconversation.com
