The Wall Street Journal revealed the existence of a program at Facebook called Cross Check that gave elites special consideration. The Oversight Board chastised the company for failing to disclose it. @MChrisRiley has recommendations for the board:

Background reading- in September @JeffHorwitz kicked off the Facebook Files- a series of reports based on leaked documents from whistleblower Frances Haugen- with a report on Cross Check: wsj.com/articles/faceb…
@JeffHorwitz Facebook's own Oversight Board was kept in the dark about the existence of the program despite its inquiry into content moderation practices related to the suspension former President Donald Trump. cnn.com/2021/10/21/tec…
The @OversightBoard invited public comment on the Cross Check system- and @MChrisRiley prepared this response for @RSI: techpolicy.press/cross-checking…

1/ I read the subpoenas the @January6thCmte issued to Meta (Facebook), Alphabet (Google/YouTube), Twitter and Reddit:

@January6thCmte 2/ At Alphabet, the Committee is focused on YouTube. One thing that caught my eye- the Committee seeks "non-public moderation discussions and policies that led to President Trump's suspension"... interesting. Image
3/ At Meta (Facebook), the Committee wants more information about some of the details revealed by whistleblower @FrancesHaugen: Image

1/ One question inquiries into January 6th seek to answer is the extent to which Donald Trump and his close associates were aware of the potential for violence. On Sunday’s Meet the Press, @RepKinzinger (R-IL), a member of the House Select Committee, raised this line of inquiry:
2/ In @just_security, I suggest a potentially fruitful indicator of Trump’s awareness of the detailed planning for violent assaults on the Capitol is what he and his closest aides knew about the discourse on a public message board: TheDonald[.]win. justsecurity.org/79813/thedonal…
@just_security 3/ To understand the likelihood that such communications were known to the Trump team, and how that knowledge might be proven, it is important to understand the history of The Donald, and how Donald Trump, his campaigns, and advisors interacted with it:

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

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.
