I am deeply enjoying the herky-jerky twitter algorithm sending me every post about the role of the twitter algorithm as the delusional echo chamber of the far right

@broderick Counterpart still criminally underrated

Our latest, on the skewed incentives of the Digital Services Act out-of-court dispute settlement system 👇

[Digital Trust & Safety Partnership @dtspartnership]

Eleven certified bodies now handle content moderation disputes under Article 21 of the DSA. None charges the nominal user fee the mechanism was designed around.

New in @techpolicypress from DTSP's David Sullivan, Farzaneh Badiei and Jonny Shipp:

@senatorshoshana Did you see the marmot only fans news?

Weiser: I am a first-generation American. My mom was born in a Nazi concentration camp on April 13th, 1945. My grandmother is an amazing woman. She was a hopeful person, and she believed in the United States of America as a country that did treat everybody fairly, that gave everybody freedom and an opportunity to succeed.

And my family—the difference between my mom being born in that concentration camp and me—is that I went to law school, I worked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, I worked as an advisor to President Barack Obama in the White House. I’m Colorado’s Attorney General. I will be Colorado’s next governor. That’s one generation. That’s what America’s about.

It doesn’t matter who your parents are. It doesn’t matter if you know secret handshakes. It matters: are you willing to work hard? Are you willing to believe in the values of this country?

That’s the America I know and love. That’s the America I’m fighting for

[David Sullivan @David_MSullivan]

@Ashkhen Deeply relieved to hear you’re on the mend! Wishing you a very swift and full recovery. Fuck cancer.

Building a global standard for trust & safety is a breakthrough, thanks to the Digital Trust & Safety Partnership Safe Framework, which includes a first-of-its-kind voluntary, industry-led standard, ISO/IEC 25389, via ISO/IEC JTC 1. It proves that voluntary standards can scale globally, align practices, and advance human rights without prescriptive regulation. @FarzanehBadiei @David_MSullivan @AEItech #Privacy #Digitalsecurity https://t.co/smxbeb5Mxx

@BianchiWeather what would be the best time to head up 70 to the high country friday?

Didn’t expect the political scientist whose blog I read obsessively in 2009 for research on mass atrocities to turn out to be the leading claude code evangelist, but on the other hand why not???

[Chris Blattman @cblatts]

4w ago I was a Claude Code skeptic. I'm not a coder. None of the use cases were relevant. I managed teams & projects, drowning in email & overdue reminders. So I tried creating tools that would help me and... holy crap.

Now I'm sharing the tools I built:

Get rich somewhere else and move to Switzerland for tax avoidance

[Manifest_Lord @Manifest_Lord]

Most people copy Americans to get rich.

Big mistake. 🚨

In Switzerland, every 1 in 7 adults is a millionaire , 5x more than the US.

I dug into how they actually build this wealth.

Here are 7 Swiss money rules that quietly beat every hustle culture: 🧵

I'm not used to seeing my byline in a tabloid, but nonetheless glad to see the @bostonherald publish our op-ed on State's stupid and counterproductive visa policy for trust and safety workers.

[InsideSources @InsideSourcesDC]

"Americans want their kids safe and their bank accounts secure. Denying visas to trust and safety experts puts those fundamentals at risk while giving predators and scammers a leg up."

https://t.co/Qo7tDPVJgl

[Digital Trust & Safety Partnership @dtspartnership]

A cable directs diplomats to deny visas to T&S experts.

While it intends to protect free speech, it risks leaving the door open for online abuse.

In a new piece @David_MSullivan argues: "Let’s not mistake the people fighting online abuse for the ones who cause it."

Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR.

One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting.

With children increasingly online and using more devices, age assurance has become a critical tool for protection against online harms.

DTSP ED @David_MSullivan co-authored a piece in @the_iapp that explores and outlines different methods for implementing age assurance.

@KevinTFrazier deeply stupid social media to AI contagion https://t.co/HgVLbVzx4U
