Pawel Popiel@ppopiel.bsky.social · last yr.

ICA 2027 to be held in Glasgow rather than in Chicago as originally planned. Really the only move in a climate that jeopardizes every part of the conference's acronym - international, communication, and association.

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

It’s important to consider the consequences of online abuse on political representation in light of the changes in meta’s moderation approach allowing more abuse and harassment to stay online.

Next up, Emily Harmer introduces...Emily Harmer! She's sharing her research with Ros Southern, interviewing women politicians about their experiences of online harassment and abuse and how they manage this @rosalynd.bsky.social @harm365.bsky.social #PSAMPG2025

It’s important to identify *which* speech is being “suppressed”

Axios@axios.com · 2y ago

Under Meta's newly relaxed moderation policies, women can be compared to household objects, ethnic groups can be called "filth," users can call for the exclusion of gay people from certain professions and people can refer to a transgender or non-binary person as an "it."

Meta's decision to ditch fact-checkers in the US reeks of dangerous opportunism, prioritizing 'community-driven' spin over accountability. With Indian fact-checkers heavily reliant on Meta funding, this could spell disaster for truth & transparency globally. indianexpress.com/article/busi...

As per the report below (in Portuguese), Meta’s decision to end factchecking is only happening in the US—at least for now—if you needed any reminders that this is nothing more than a business decision to fit with the political agenda of the day.

@patyrossini.bsky.social apologises that she is sharing depressing research with us today. I'm sure she's not going to be alone... She's starting by telling us about a new wave of democratic backsliding, and the 'Trump of the Tropics' #PSAMPG2025

The UK is generally a nice place to live. But something strange happens on trains--particularly in (or going to) England: no matter what time you take them, there will be a group of loud people drinking, chatting, singing (!) like it is a freaking party. Even at 11am. Train disinhibition effect?
