Omg 😱 why does @ucu not care about safety protocols on #COVID19 ???
@ucu No wonder I’m seeing so many campuses in the UK apparently not bothering with safety measures. I had hoped to see @UCU campaigning to protect staff, faculty and students…
“Fighting for jobs, pay and conditions” on the wall - incredible. Are packed out rooms in universities which put everyone at risk from #Covid the working conditions that @UCU supports?
I also wonder why anyone at @UCU would think people will join a Union they see visibly not supporting adequate health measures during a pandemic? Does @UCU demand employers take measures to protect campuses? It doesn’t look like it.

What I will never understand is why academics who knew nothing about Cambridge Analytica or what they did fuelled this kind of misinformation over the scandal which perpetuated the unhelpful binary about ‘snake oil’ vs ‘mind control’.
Mostly it seemed to be fuelled by their having spoken to Republican politicians and political consultants who are hardly neutral actors… or studies that didn’t actually examine in an informed way what CA actually did.
We are STILL now facing the unhelpful binary they helped to establish as ‘Disinformation Studies’ becomes a thing… turning it into a debate about snake oil vs mind control removed any ability to have a nuanced discussion about data, ethics, effect and the influence industry.

#Brexit UK sounds like end times
theguardian.com/business/2021/…
Some didn’t get why Brexit was a bigger disaster for UK than Trump was to US- you cannot reverse on Brexit… it’s permanent constitutional change & economic disaster with far reaching effect. This is just the START of Brexit.

CNN… do you have any concept of what regular life is like for women in Saudi Arabia?!
In Saudi Arabia there is no way women or boys would even be in the same classroom as men or boys. Education is completely gendered and segregated. At least if you are going to do full features on this don’t ignore the apartheid women in Saudi are living in daily.

I don’t know why experts are surprised top authorities and scientists stopped engaging certain groups. Social media is designed to break us into groups… less mass communication, more node communication. The credible expert looked to will become the one revered within that node.
There are still authorities but there are fewer that are ‘national’ and cross-cutting culture. We are fragmenting culture - for better or worse - so you need to think differently about how groups function and what can be the authoritative source.
Communities matter and aren’t a bad thing during a pandemic. But social media have been enabling the creation of ghettos reinforcing exclusion online. And we need to better understand how to still work collectively toward a common culture with trusted systems.
