Former CEO & Co-Founder of CrowdTangle (acq. by Meta). Fan of transparency & dogs. Mostly a dad these days. Based in Oakland.
One of my favorite parts is this comparison of different transparency mechanisms and the audiences that benefit the most from each:
I wrote about the latest in social media transparency, Threads and more: https://open.substack.com/pub/brandonsilverman/p/catching-up?r=bucl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Really excited to see PATA reintroduced in the Senate this afternoon, this time with even more bipartisan sponsors including Mitt Romney, John Cornyn, and Richard Blumenthal, as well as a whole host of new endorsements from organizations like the American Psychological Association, Mozilla, Common Sense Media and more!
I wanted to share my latest Substack where I talk about some of the latest developments in Europe around data access, transparency and the Digital Services Act. It's optimistic! https://brandonsilverman.substack.com/p/unlocking-the-potential-of-public

Jeff JarvisSome days ago, when I was appalled at Joe Scarborough's support for Utah's anti-social-media law, Joe accused me of ignoring set science and defending social-media billionnaires. I said I would give him links to research. A family crisis intervened but here are many links in this thread about research on youth and social media at the Other Place:

Emily Baker-WhiteIt appears that several prominent judges failed to disclose important stuff they were required to disclose.
So, now what?
Will these judges face sanctions? Investigations? Is there even a chance we'll see meaningful enforcement of the rules they broke?
I'm sure others have pointed this out and I know it's being made into a movie but Killers of the Flower Moon literally couldn't be a more perfect story for True Detective.
