If you’re at #britsoc23 , don’t miss our digital sociology stream plenary. Details below:
@alicethwaite nope, feels like I should’ve though as it’s an impressive list of invitees they’ve mobilised!
@alicethwaite i didn’t even know this exists. Is it just the exclusivity that makes this gross for you?
@gyamey yes, it’s him really rather than FSU but he’s its voice. Interesting to see the ‘viewpoint diversity’ concept expand like this. Transphobia, racist pseudoscience and now this.
@gyamey Free Speech Union defending this as viewpoint diversity
@lilianedwards wondering where this leaves media and digital literacy
Lilian EdwardsBad bad news for democracy : 46% of UK "actively avoid news" and "under 35s are more likely to be interested in ‘softer’ news topics: entertainment and celebrity news (33% interested), culture and arts news (37%), and education news (34%)". Were all guilty here says this um very over 35 who feels seen 🤔
@Wsi2016 and me are really looking forward to this article coming out in early ‘23 - it’s a big study that applies a digital sociological lens to Britain’s pseudo-intellectual grift economy
