Most Americans won't pay attention to this. But it feels very significant... momentous. Even after January 6th, there is no turning back for the GOP. It is an anti-democratic party far more committed to white grievances than the constitution.

US joins Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online techpolicy.press/us-joins-chris…
Despite mass shootings in the United States motivated by the New Zealand mosque massacres, the Trump administration declined dozens of other nations and American tech companies to join the Call to Action in 2019, citing concerns over free speech. techpolicy.press/us-joins-chris…

'The OAG found that millions of fake comments were submitted through a secret campaign, funded by the country's largest broadband co's, to manufacture support for repeal of net neutrality rules... millions more were submitted by a 19yo college student using made-up identities...'

1/ Senator @ChrisCoonsforDE refers to @_KarenHao @techreview reporting around how incentives work at Facebook with regard to growth metrics, asks platforms whether they provide such pay incentives. Bickert say they are "not simply" incentivized for engagement.
2/ Culbertson says they have no incentive to drive unhealthy engagement. Veitch says responsibility is YouTube's primary concern (?!?).
3/ @BenSasse says the statements from the platforms about incentives is irreconcilable with their business model. Bickert: "For us, the focus is always on the long term." Refers to decision on 'meaningful social interactions' that did reduce amount of time spent on Facebook.
