Social media, is it a public utility? Are twitter and similar websites the digital version of public transport? If we treat them like public utilities, then letting them be ran by private companies and individuals etc isn’t a good thing. If we’re to have an international digital public utility, what laws now must apply to it? I think it’s crazy people consider twitter and similar to be anything other than platforms we use to look at pretty pictures and yell at minorities
once again you are ignoring the enormous pink elephant global empire in the room

@biopolitique yeah man I think this is an insane level of hubris but it made me think about having websites as public utilities

I think Twitter is blown out of proportions due to its high concentration of journalists. Overall it feels like a very insular network compared to fb, ig, snap (where people have more links to their offline lives) and TikTok (which has a broader audience).
