To me, the problem with the idea any intervention can take the web back to its "idealist origins" is that most of humanity and its various institutions and other units of organization are not "idealist". So social and power dynamics will always win. @mims
wsj.com/articles/jack-…
We may pray that less platform centralization will reduce some of the externalities of the model we have now, but that's mostly faith- religion for some- driven by memories of a time when most people and organizations weren't online.
Don't take this as negativity on web3 per se- but it's not just the protocol that's broken. It's that we rebuilt all of the structural problems we have in the real world and then some on the web, with almost zero protections for those harmed.

Last week a deadly tornado hit an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois. The tragedy points to the ongoing plight of all Amazon workers, and puts a particular focus on the contract and gig workers who have fewer workplace protections, writes @denrsch:
techpolicy.press/amazon-workers…
@denrsch "A substantial percentage of the workers at Edwardsville and in many other Amazon facilities– particularly at the peak of the holiday season– are contractors, which means they have fewer workplace protections." techpolicy.press/amazon-workers…
"The contract for gig work typically looks more like a 'terms and service' agreement than an agreement between an employer seeking a stable relationship with a healthy team and a worker." techpolicy.press/amazon-workers…

Meadows and the Band of Loyalists: How They Fought to Keep Trump in Power- must read with some newly reported details from @ktbenner, @alanfeuer, @CatieEdmondson and @lukebroadwater; nytimes.com/2021/12/15/us/…
"On Nov. 9, two days after The Associated Press called the race for Mr. Biden, crisis meetings were underway at Trump campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va." The comms strategy was set.
Though can't stomach this- "After Jan. 6, Mr. Jordan has claimed that he never said the election was stolen," reports the Times. Our reporting @just_security shows what a flimsy statement that is... cc @alanfeuer @ktbenner @CatieEdmondson @lukebroadwater justsecurity.org/77852/timeline…

NEW @techpolicypress: Meta Fires a Warning Shot Against Police Surveillance, But It Must Do More

Documents obtained by the @BrennanCenter reveal @LAPDHQ violated platform policies to surveil activists, citizens, write @RachelBLevinson & @marypatdwyer:
techpolicy.press/meta-fires-a-w…
"... it’s significant that Meta, Facebook’s parent company, recently wrote to the Los Angeles Police Department demanding that its officers cease the use of Facebook for surveillance and signaling stronger measures in the future."
techpolicy.press/meta-fires-a-w…
"Meta’s letter to the LAPD affirmed that the use of fake accounts violates its terms of service. The company also demanded more generally that the LAPD cease collection of data for surveillance purposes." techpolicy.press/meta-fires-a-w…

NEW: @kreissdaniel, @BridgetOBarrett and @madhavi_reddi– researchers at @unc_citap– make an affirmative argument for race-conscious, as opposed to color-blind, tech platform policies in areas such as civic integrity, hate speech & political advertising:
techpolicy.press/the-need-for-r…
"...we believe that the consequence of color-blindness is a set of political policies that threaten democratic inclusion."
techpolicy.press/the-need-for-r…
"Adapting this race-conscious standard for content moderation would require platforms to pay extra scrutiny to content that has the potential for disproportionate harms to racial and ethnic groups based on historical and structural forms of discrimination and power in the US."
