IN RESPONSE TO The Web We Have to Save...
Unlike a blogger, it’s very hard to isolate and ban Facebook or Twitter. A blogger can be placed in jail, a network of people on a platform with millions of users is much harder...
[BUT] these platforms have their own censorship mechanisms... Facebook is doing better now but ... many things were blocked for seemingly merely having people waving traditional Kurdish colors — the equivalent of banning all Irish pages featuring green shamrocks on suspicion of being IRA supporters...
These sites have a strong incentive to ban content that is unappealing to advertisers... Are we back to television which can never cover climate change while so dependent on car ads?...
How do we signal that we want to see more of important, but unlikable, updates on Facebook? We can’t...
The web we need to save is not this or that format, but our relationships, expressed in our links, our updates, our connections and more. There is much at stake."
