On TikTok: “Slowly but steadily it can turn the West’s youth—its future—into perpetually distracted dopamine junkies ill-equipped to maintain the civilization built by their ancestors.” Excellent article from @G_S_Bhogal .

Elon's takeover was widely touted as THE market solution to the censorship problem. But today proves it's time to stop running away from the reality that the Big Tech issue requires POLICY action as well. Yes, that means using govt--federal and state--while building out of this.

China, by blending the public & private sectors, is at the bleeding edge of using technology for social control. Some trends here and across the globe risk mirroring this practice. @Heritage has a plan to stop this in its tracks:

Musk should commit Twitter to radical transparency. Make them show their work when it comes to content moderation--past, present & future. We can't count on billionaires as free speech white knights in other cases, so platforms need BOTH technical solutions & policy options.
