To the Point | This piece examines the moral economy that underpins platform capitalism, where founders are cast as benevolent agents of progress while workers are denied recognition as well as basic rights.

From Platforms to Protocol

Wrote for @PCC_Global on Bengaluru’s tech shifts—how local, alternative models could challenge global platforms to build a more inclusive tech ecosystem.

But to what extent? Yet to be seen!👀

The 𝕏 algorithm assumes that if you interact with content, you want to see more of that content.

One of the strongest signals is if you forward 𝕏 posts to friends, it assumes you like that content a lot, because it takes effort to forward.

Unfortunately, if the actual reason you forwarded the content to friends was because you were outraged by it, we are currently not smart enough to realize that.

🗨️ All technology reflects the society that produces it, including its power structures and prejudices. This is true all the way down to the level of the algorithm.
