hey guys, political historian here. just a note that it has generally worked out very well whenever a powerful actor says that they---potentially uniquely---understand and plan to implement "the will of the people" Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Good to hear @rashadrobinson challenge the very frame, stubborn as it is, of an ‘online public sphere’, which is not public if it is owned by for profit companies and shareholders ↘️

Beyond excited for this tomorrow!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Tomorrow, I'm heading to Stanford to deliver a speech about changes in the way we create and consume information, and the very real threat it poses to democracy.
