This is a great piece by @naomishiffman...there a lot of interesting precedents from other industries that we can learn from as we start to build more data sharing mechanisms between digital companies and the public. 👏👏

[Naomi Shiffman @naomishiffman]

@davidshere ... is there something you want to tell me?

[DFRLab - @dfrlab.bsky.social @DFRLab]

"There are many opportunities for platforms to model privacy-protecting research practices on best practices from the medical research industry, and the [Digital Services Act] is creating the conditions to do so."

New from me in Tech Policy Press: there's a strong precedent for privacy-sensitive data sharing in medical research, and we don't need to reinvent the wheel for social media platform data sharing!

[Justin Hendrix @justinhendrix]

When considering mechanisms to make data available to independent researchers, social media platforms and regulators should look to the strong precedent in medical research, says Naomi Shiffman (@naomishiffman) in @techpolicypress:

So long as we create a toxic environment, set staff up to fail, & drum up hostility against public servants, then our staffing crisis will deepen.

Our plans, goals, visions, are only wind if no one is willing to work for the city, & if we can’t commit to our own principles.

[Naomi Shiffman @naomishiffman]

Still feel gratified every time new research using CrowdTangle gets published ☺️ congrats @yangyunkang

[Justin Hendrix @justinhendrix]

A new study of images collected from Facebook pages and groups in the runup to the 2020 US election finds widespread visual misinformation that is highly asymmetric across party lines, with right-leaning images 5X to 8X times more likely to be misleading.

Something I’ll be looking closely - actual accomplishments of the candidates.

Plans, reports, referrals, and studies are not accomplishments. PDFs are not accomplishments.

Plans that are thrown out when they hit the wrong (wealthy/connected) community are not accomplishments

Thanks to @justinhendrix for publishing. @naomishiffman and @PaulGowder for leading the work. And all our members and staff for being part of this! I’m channeling their/our ideas, not just my own.

@DataJacob Honored to be passing on the ancestral traditions of our people 🕎

[Brandon Silverman @brandonsilverm]

As everyone from @bariweiss to @elipariser have pointed out in the last few months, too many of our most important civic spaces are owned by a small handful of private companies...and in some cases, by just a handful of individuals.

[Davey Alba @daveyalba]

you guys. mastodon is FINE, or pretty good even. some starter tips (most of these c/o @mmasnick):

1. https://t.co/ChOo7qjta6 is the easiest tool so far to find and follow all your friends from Twitter who are on Mastodon

2. https://t.co/Y0SsxFFhVW lets you pin the main timeline

Something a NIMBY said kind of triggered me about all YIMBYs being childless young people who only wanted housing for themselves

You have no idea what it's like to put your kids in a crappy daycare because you can't afford anything better because of your living expenses.

[Nathan Goldwag 🇺🇦 @GoldwagNathan]

The right-wing victimhood cycle is that you work yourself up into a frothing frenzy about something you made up, the rest of the world declines to play along, that's "proof" of just how far the corruption goes, which in turn justifies the next step down the extremism ladder.

[Brandon Silverman @brandonsilverm]

One of the more predictable moments in corporate comms these days is when CEOs & companies find themselves in moments of reputational crisis, they almost always suddenly discover the gospel of transparency.

Some of my favorite recent ones include:

A great guide to getting into T&S from one of the best OSINT investigators in the biz!
