Elon Musk & Twitter, Part Eleventy Billion: OMG What Babies
So, it's all going down. So much bad faith. But I want it clear who the bad guys are, what the risks are, and why it is important to support Musk (ugh, yes I know)
This morning's stream I will be talking about Twitter and how it's not a conspiracy. I will probably get ranty because all the bro experts keep claiming it and it's just not how it works.

Today I am going to show you one of the many digital agencies who specialise in online campaigning. I'll walk you through one basic handbook, all of which are based on one Master Handbook based on the work of Marshall Ganz.
If you think that all these disruptive organisations seem to be part of the same group - they are - sort of. They use the same Playbook. I am increasingly of the view that these groups are part of a big pyramid scam. I mean, the agency literally calls themselves Another Acronym. How cynical can you be?
Over the next few weeks I'll talk about all the types of fuckery you're going to be exposed to, but I'll start with this one and cover more detail each day. Do, please, if you have any area you want me to deep dive into, ask and I will cover it.

Somehow, in 2023 it seems that the most important things are always hidden underneath the most stupid. So, I will talk about what happened, why it happened, and what it means going forward.

Sorry I haven't streamed in a while. Thought I'd do a Saturday stream.
I wanted to talk a bit about Section 230 in the United States, the Digital Services Act and why this all matters to everyday people, the differences. I think a bunch of things are coming down the pipe legally (which is also why I am doing theJuris Doctor, so I can help/consult -- I am happy to consult to any lawyers wanting information on their particular digital stuff... I should have done it years ago, but got talked out of it. Oh well, better late than never).
Also a bit of a catch up if you're around, the usual stuff. Hopefully I get to the point. Ya know. Behave on my chat.

Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter as I am almost ready to launch my own Sub Stack... ya know... a subscription stack aka my website. The internet got very weird and centralised. Sigh. Normies.

As I get ready to launch this properly, I thought I would provide a bonus track, which is from a conversation I had with my friend David Cake.
David has been heavily involved in Internet Policy for many years, including ICANN, and loves all that nerdy stuff. We talked a little bit about the internet, how it has changed, and some of the challenges currently being faced by tech companies with regard to privacy.
Enjoy. Sorry about the sound, again. Hang in there, I'm still figuring out gear and stuff :-)
