If you care about technology and democracy, stop what you are doing right now and read this epic @techreview piece by @_KarenHao. She reports Facebook's "AI algorithms gave it an insatiable habit for lies and hate speech. Now the man who built them can't fix the problem."
This piece is replete with inside perspective that confirms what many have feared- a company unfixable, unwilling and unable to confront the original sin at the core of its business model. And here is a man, the head of Responsible AI, unable to escape that reality.
.@_KarenHao one of the most important details in this piece may be this. Not only that no team is working on this problem, but that the backstop argument at Facebook is ultimately to argue it is a scapegoat. (1)

Rep. Zoe Lofgren publishes analysis of social media posts from 102 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election techpolicy.press/rep-zoe-lofgre…
Said @RepZoeLofgren in the foreward to the nearly 2,000 page report: "“Like former President Trump, any elected Member of Congress who aided and abetted the insurrection or incited the attack seriously threatened our democratic government. "
"They would have betrayed their oath of office and would be implicated in the same constitutional provision cited in the Article of Impeachment."

1/ This is a thread about @SusanWojcicki's statements today at the @AtlanticCouncil on @YouTube's suspension of Donald Trump. First, Wojcicki says the rules are the same for everybody.
2/ Wojcicki says Trump videos posted after January 6th violated the policy on incitement, and says the elevated violence risk still remains. But here she confirms "we will lift the suspension of the channel when we determine that the risk of violence has decreased."
3/ Wojcicki says Trump has 1 strike against him. @FredKempe says Jan 6th "was a pretty big strike." Wojcicki says YT is looking at government warnings, violent rhetoric the YouTube "intelligence desk" is seeing; hard to say when the suspension would lift based on what they see.

FBI Director Testimony Makes Clear Why January 6th Commission Should Investigate Social Media Platforms - my latest for @techpolicypress: techpolicy.press/fbi-director-t…
.@profcarroll: [Social media platforms] cannot deny that they are in the business of assembling the kind of data flows that investigations into January 6th require.”
.@informor: It would be useful to look at “user reports and flagging of groups, pages accounts and channels associated with January 6th, and how these reports were handled by the platforms."
