My first ever toot!

Seems appropriate to announce it here first: I'm co-organizing a symposium on algorithmic amplification at the Knight Institute at Columbia. Paper workshop on Apr 27 + public event on Apr 28. Send abstracts by Jan 2.

"Optimizing for What? Algorithmic Amplification and Society" https://knightcolumbia.org/blog/call-for-participation-optimizing-for-what-algorithmic-amplification-and-society

What a day to announce it — one of the foremost teams researching amplification has been gutted. But that only makes studying it all the more important.

Fascinating happenings at Twitter tonight. This tweet of mine, which quoted the internal layoff email, was getting retweeted every ten seconds and then suddenly dropped STONE COLD dead.

You know, free speech and all.
