In their compelling article for @TheAtlantic, DLI's Thomas Krendl Gilbert (@sociotiose) and Nathaniel Lubin posit that "the better way to understand the internet is to compare it to a much older infrastructure problem: citywide sanitation systems."
"Today we are living in an online version of the Great Stink, and have dire need of John Snow’s methods," Nathaniel Lubin and @sociotiose write: https://t.co/pMu4wlGD7u
In a 📢new paper📢 forthcoming at #FAccT2023 with Tom Gilbert (@sociotiose) and Helen Nissenbaum (@HNissenbaum), we focus on optimization: a paradigm used to approach and guide decisions. (🧵1/7)

Some personal news: truly thrilled to announce that for the next year I'll be a visiting scholar at Cornell Tech's Digital Life Initiative, continuing my research on tech, privacy, social media + civic participation.
Just gave a talk to the legendary @HNissenbaum’s @dlicornelltech , including some of my favourite early career folks—@Elibietti @sociotiose @megyoung0 and others. Superb group, great questions, just a great (flying) visit. Will have to stay longer next time… Now to Ithaca!
