can someone explain what this is without all the fuzzy buzzword shite? terms like 'social' and 'platform' and 'crowd-***' make my brain shut down
― NI, Monday, 22 April 2013 01:29 (eleven years ago) link
it's a thing that thinks you like the music made by all the musicians you follow and feeds it all at you, but only if the musicians have linked to their music in the proper format. it also suggests music based on what your friends like (because of course you all like exactly the same thing) and also just shit it wants everyone to be looking at. brands revenue brands.

great thanks, wonder if any truly useful tool will come along that does the whole 'recommend music' thing properly. really hope so but can't see something so nuanced reduced to a computer algorithm

About the twitter 'suggest ban' button, I see some major implications. Now, twitter - at least to Dutch law, but I suspect to most countries - is labelled as a hoster, like an ISP. When it implements a form of moderation, it ceases to just be a communication medium, and starts being moderated platform. Now, twitter isn't responsible for death threats etc, but with the move to a moderation platform - at least to Dutch law - it will become responsible for all content.
That is a massive change. Only recently Twitter went to court in the US to prevent having to hand over information about Anonymous-members. Stating privacy, they won. But when they themselves become responsible for twitter's contents, that will not hold up in court any more, will it? Because they are responsible for what people tweet.

one very telling part of all this was caitlin moran saying that martina navratilova signing up was 'the most exciting thing to ever happen to me'
and that apology is a broken mess. how come it's ok for caitlin to say 'rancid things' at 2am in the morning, or 'a long time ago' but it's not for anyone else? clearly something needs to be done about the more extreme nasty shit going on on there but this '#twittersilence' is just a self-serving embarrassment
― NI, Monday, 5 August 2013 16:17 (ten years ago) link
I can see why they did it, but it's a disingenuous move for Twitter to try for common carrier status. Twitter's not at all like email or phone, which are private mediums, and it's not like ISPs, which are essentially just men-in-the-middle conveying transmissions.
Twitter's making massive efforts to analyse/monetize the content tweets, it can do a better job on preventing abuse via them, too.
