Welcome to the next round of folks now joining this place, especially #journalists. I’ve been here for 6 weeks, and I really like it.

But it is different than what you were used to. It rewards being directed and proactive about who you follow and what you do here.

Sometimes it is boring, which is great, because that means you can get offline and like, live your life.

A lot of times it’s great. I’ve learned so much here.

And don’t go back there.

Call for Papers: Locating and Theorising Platform Power

Special issue of the Internet Policy Review assignment_returned Abstract submission deadline: January 15, 2023 assignment_returned Full paper submission deadline: June 1, 2023 Amidst popular conversations about antitrust regulation and trillion-dollar valuations, the notion of “platform power” has found firm footing in the scholarly lexicon. Media and communication scholars have tried to unpack platform power by theorising forms of corporate control that include “algorithmic power” (Bucher, 2018), “curatorial power” (Prey, 2020) and “metric power” (Beer, 2017).

Twitter is suspending accounts of journalists who had written critically of Musk: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/15/twitter-suspends-accounts-journalists-musk

I've also written critically of Musk, his chaos: https://www.hrw.org/the-day-in-human-rights/2022/10/05

And his undermining of rights: https://www.context.news/big-tech/opinion/the-real-problem-with-twitter

Am I next? Are you?

Twitter has also suspended the account of Mastodon.

⚠️ And look at this tweet I just tried to do but which got rejected - look at the reason: Twitter doesn't even allow you to link to Mastodon in tweets now...

Twitter suspends accounts of several journalists who had reported on Elon Musk

Many at CNN, Washington Post and the New York Times who had written critically of the new owner found their handles suspended
