    We imagine that platforms can bring the whole sprawling chaos of human behavior into compliance with the law. Make our lives policeable, and policed, to a degree no govt in history could have imagined. Not only do we seem to think it's possible– we think it's a good idea.

    Replying to @daphnehk @AASchapiro
    So the vicious circle is first, we demand content moderation, then we get some and we're unhappy with it (because human beings are fallible, inconsistent, etc.), then we demand *less* "censorship" or *more* "moderation" or *the end of all unfair censorship/moderation*.

    The bingo cards are fully playable (click to mark a square) and you can hit shuffle to get a new card, thanks to the sweet code and let me re-use.

    I'm looking at my 2019 Platform Policy Conference Bingo cards and, man. Either they were really prescient or this whole discussion is going in circles.

    Ooooh, looking forward to this one!

    Such a good interview of by about the helpful and... not so helpful uses of history in current internet policy debates I feel like these debates must be very painful for historians to listen to—the tropes are everywhere!

    Para los países inclinados a la censura de contenidos, el programa de escaneo de Apple es un buen comienzo; solo querrán algunos ajustes más.

    TM owners often rely on copyright in logos to justify their DMCA takedown notices, so this is interesting.

    Similar to what we saw with Parler, Gettr has become popular not just among the US right wing, but also with Brazilian Bolsonarists and Arabic-speakers, primarily Saudi. Apropos of nothing, the latter group is inordinately fond of the "loudly crying face" emoji. 2/10

    Good work everyone who worked to pass a bill like this in their own country

    If passed, the Iranian Parliament's "Protection Bill" will require international tech companies to have a legal representative in Iran to comply with laws, and cooperate with the Iranian government in surveilling users and censoring online spaces.

    "we’ll introduce a new policy that enables anyone under the age of 18, or their parent or guardian, to request the removal of their images from Google Image results." Whoa, that's a big change.

    Because I haven't done a good job of elevating this during my days-long freak-out: Jonathan & his student Anunay Kulshrestha have a paper at a conference THIS WEEK that describes basically the SAME SYSTEM as Apple's and points out why IT'S A BAD IDEA.

    I won’t rehash (no pun intended) the many and serious societal problems posed by privacy-preserving protocols for detecting harmful media. Here’s what we say in our preprint—we were very torn about our protocols. has also forcefully articulated these concerns.

    Oh look. The role of platforms and ranking algorithms in radicalization is actually complicated. (It’s also really hard to study. As points out in response to this thoughtful thread, we need better platform transparency before anyone can get to the meatiest questions.)

    YouTube's algorithm is *not* radicalizing people according to a study by leading scholars that examined 29 million YouTube viewing sessions and recently appeared in a prestigious peer reviewed journal:

    Speaking as someone who has litigated and lost on this exact issue in three countries (UK, Germany, France), I feel confident in saying the firm refusal to filter for new things beyond CSAM doesn’t mean much in the face of state power.

    So basically: all that stands between users and governments demanding adding of non-CSAM images to the hash list is Apple's firm refusal?

    Can't wait for Apple to go all Bartleby the Scrivener in response to a potential court order to expand their hash checking beyond CSAM. "Judge, I would prefer not to" is not a line I've seen work.

    Apple’s answer about government demands is difficult to reconcile with its litigation position against FBI & DOJ. Just 5 years ago, Apple swore in court filings that if it built a capability to access encrypted data, that capability would be used far beyond its original context.
