Superbrands are often in the spotlight for bad working conditions. But are underdogs really the better alternative? A conversation with #CSR specialist Linnea Thompson challenged @r_koenig’s perspective. Find out why. #superbrands

Read why @3Lmantra thinks #honour has no place in the world of labour: “No human being should be valued based on what work they engage in, rather it should be on the level of integrity they bring to that job". #futureofwork https://t.co/g9zhxgjwyt

🤖New @BKCHarvard paper together with @JonasKaiser - about problems with automatic #bot detection tools. Conclusion: as social scientists we should be extremely cautious with these tools 🧵👇https://t.co/NZqkPsNWYC

I wouldn´t count on universities when it comes to fighting gaming citations. They are part of the problem.

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

Universities may need to do more to monitor whether their academics are gaming citations, as techniques for boosting them become increasingly sophisticated, it has been warned.

What are the potential side-effects of an #antitrust lawsuit against #Google, e.g. for @mozilla? This question should get more attention.

[Lorenz Matzat @lorz]

Mozilla hängt seit Jahren finanziell im wesentlichen an Googles Tropf (mehrere 100 Mio. USD/Jahr für Google Search als default):"The ultimate outcomes of an antitrust lawsuit should not cause collateral damage to the very organizations – like Mozilla" https://t.co/uyFE2kB4Ui

Klage gegen #Google: "Es könnte sich um das größte kartellrechtliche Verfahren in den USA seit Jahrzehnten handeln." Wird spannend.

In my last blog I have argued for a more optimistic perspective on #digitalplatforms. But of course, a lot remains to be done. I totally agree with my @FemlabC colleague @pallavibansal9's call for "humanizing algorithms".

[FemLab.Co @FemlabC]

Blame the driver for your bad #ridesharing experience – or blame the app? Drawing from interviews with senior managers, @pallavibansal9 argues that we need to humanize algorithms instead of algorithmizing humans. New blog: https://t.co/1scYMQT6D7

Human Rights Watch recently revisited the social-media evidence it had cited in its public reports between 2007 and 2020. It found that 11% of it had vanished https://t.co/jb4iBfzglQ
