#arin2610 A cool map of the history of the sharing economy including the development of creative commons. Although perhaps fails to include the "sharing" of data and previously private aspects of our lives that's now become the everyday norm?

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@AmandaYanTX @Lizzz_w Also on this - there's a film theory called post-cinema which calls for less of a clean distinction between older and newer media regimes but the relation between them! I think it's a useful framework for thinking about the current media landscape (dominated by social media)

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@AmandaYanTX @Lizzz_w No worries it's an interesting conversation! it's also useful to think about the concept of remediation in that new media has remediated old forms. Social media doesn't exist in isolation

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@YINGYIN06187099 I guess you do make a good point though about how easily SVODs would cooperate... Aus quotas could also lead to other issues like poor quality content or most likely, an inability to economically compete with the endless content available on the internet these days #arin2610

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@YINGYIN06187099 I suppose but the 1% Aus content on Netflix compared to the required 55% on commercial channels proves the ACCCs digital platform inquiry finding that there is a massive regulatory imbalance in Aus media and I think something needs to be done #arin2610

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@HamidiZuhal #arin2610 another thought - Whilst it's not available in Aus YET if Insta combines this well with their Facebook pay function and businesses get on board with that, It could make Insta the ultimate shopping platform by never having to leave the app... may completely rebrand insta

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@HamidiZuhal It’s capitalising on the “aimless scrolling” habit society has developed by creating a place where ppl can aimlessly scroll through a personalised feed of diverse products/brands - made effective through the immense data they have. A smart move by them but does it benefit us?

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@julia_cole2 good point! Greater transparency is defs needed & hopefully will alert uses to the monopoly & power of Facebook. Interesting though I would have thought they'd want to further differentiate these platforms as a safety net at risk of one garnering a bad reputation #arin2610

[sammi @virtualsammi]

Very interesting move! Thoughts? #arin2610

[sammi @virtualsammi]

#arin2610 2/2 both responded to the user and reported this to instagram. Instagram responded 9 days later saying they've assessed self harm report and it wasn't warranted... Do the platforms have a responsibility in a situation like this?

[sammi @virtualsammi]

#arin2610 1/2 We regularly discuss the role of platforms in monitoring hate speech/facilitating net neutrality. I recently herd about a situation where a user DM'd an influencer on instagram saying they were going to kill themselves. Leaving no contact details, the influencer

https://t.co/rKOh7tPCu6 interesting article! There's a Senate hearing in progress titles "Breaking the News: Censorship, Suppression, and the 2020 Election" - Republicans complained "that the platforms continue to sensor conservative speech." Do we think this is true? #arin2610

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@LucyMCousins2 I suppose the same question could be applied to when television became a part of everyday life, or newspaper or radio. Do you think the differentiating factor is that social media is physically attached to us through our mobiles at all times of the day. Or that it's faster paced?

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@Lizzz_w @AmandaYanTX landscape. I don't think we can plausibly discuss a world without social media specifically, as it's integrated across most media forms #arin2610

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@Lizzz_w @AmandaYanTX I agree! Social media has greatly improved our efficiency and enabled many communication channels. Think about how much it assisted with COVID19! Imagine going through 2020 without social media. However, I think we need to remember social media is part of a whole digital +

@Hflit saw this and was legit on the strangest films ive seen all year

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@Lucycunich1 @jackshawusyd @DominiqueGalet1 agreed everyone!! however concerning as the article noted it may be years for the law suits to conclude meaning Biden may not take any major action anytime soon. can't help but just feel how intensified the monopolies will be with a couple more years behind them ://

@GreatSalgo + amount of its users who are seemingly believing this information as its coming from their party

[sammi @virtualsammi]

@GreatSalgo to be honest I think they’ve done a decent job under the circumstances. It’s hard to prevent misinformation when the president himself was the one propagating it? my guess is Twitter is having to balance stoping the spread on false information WITHOUT ostracising/enraging a great
