my notes ( ? )
Platforms are eating publishers... The idea that Facebook and its ilk could act as information gatekeepers is also a bleak prospect... Facebook wouldn’t allow The New Republic to create an ad for an innocuous piece on medical marijuana ... If Facebook is squeamish about medical marijuana now, imagine the state of the fourth estate once controversy-avoidant platforms take a more direct role in the production and distribution of news...
We’re also losing the organic and open shape of the web... Maybe the arc of the internet doesn’t bend toward openness after all... there’s still a wild and strange internet worth fighting for that maintains its openness, context, and freedom.... We need to stop pretending that content is free.
