PEOPLE OF EARTH
I may have lost contact with the people of Earth.
The Labor Party used to be cooler. People seemed less managed, less branded, less terrified of saying the wrong thing.
I miss something about the 70s and 80s.
Not everything. God no.
But there was a rawness then. We talked to each other. No social media. No permanent performance. No algorithm training everyone into public outrage, victimhood stardom, mob righteousness, or personal marketing.
Just people, in whatever configuration we happened to arrive in.
The early Pride marches in Sydney. Bodies in the street. Fear, courage, music, awkwardness, sex, politics, friendship, bad hair, good boots.
Life was not yet owned by screens. Screens were still a novelty, and modern algorithms hadn’t been invented yet.
Now everyone seems to be influencing, curating, defending, accusing, branding, reacting, or recovering from being reacted to.
I am aware this is still a lot of words for the average modern thumb.
But I’m 70. I remember paragraphs.
I don’t hate the present.
But I do miss the ordinary human mess before it all became slop.

Russia's foreign election meddling has a losing record. Experts explain why
-----#Putin never lost an #election in #Russia. Outside Russia's borders, however, #Kremlin has been learning a different lesson
From #Moldova to #Hungary (and, more recently #Armenia) #Moscow poured money and political capital into #influencing #elections abroad. Yet, time and again, the candidates and forces it favored have fallen short.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10098-2#Sec4
Evidence that X’s feed algorithm tends to push more conservative content to users’ feeds. Seven weeks of exposure to such content in 2023 shifted users’ political opinions in a more conservative direction, particularly with regard to policy priorities, perceptions of the criminal investigations into Trump and views on the war in Ukraine.
And moreover it is persistent...

PRODUCTHEAD: The science of stakeholder persuasion
» Bare facts by themselves are not persuasive; they must be “storified” in a way that triggers people’s sense of self
» A smaller initial ask can increase the likelihood of agreement to a larger, related ask

Wobei es ja schon nicht nur um #Werbung, sondern auch um die Tatsache geht, dass in der Anonymität dieser "Räume" der vorwiegend #asozialenMedien #Influencing, #Mobbing, #sexuelleGewalt, #Verschwörung, #Manipulation, #Hass, #Hetze etc. Probleme sind, für die wir aus Gründen der #psychischeGesundheit gerade derer, die am Empfänglichsten dafür sind (#Kinder und #Jugendliche) und damit aus gesamtgesellschaftlicher Verantwortung und Eigeninteresse Lösungen brauchen, die diese Räume sicher(er) machen.
Dafür braucht es aber tatsächlich andere Maßnahmen als #Alterskontrolle, #Vorratsdatenspeicherung, anlasslose, lückenlose Überwachung, Generalverdacht wie #Palantir & Co.
Es bräuchte echte #Moderation, ohne #Zensur, aber mit #Löschpflicht und #Sanktionierung derer, die diese #Medien für o.g. Zwecke missbrauchen. Mir ist klar, dass das nicht trivial ist, weil auch freie Meinungsäußerung ein wichtiges Gut der #Demokratie ist. Abzuwägen, wo das eine anfängt und das andere aufhört, ist komplex und nie pauschal festlegbar.
Insofern, so lange es dafür keine tragfähige, funktionierende, flächendeckende Lösung gibt, kann zum Schutz von Schutzbefohlenen eine #Altersgrenze als direkt wirksame Maßnahme durchaus sinnvoll sein. -

Eine interaktive #Ausstellung zum Thema #Nachrichtenkompetenz könnte wohl kaum zu einem passenderen Zeitpunkt kommen.
Täglich wird man überschüttet von #Noise #FakeNews und versteckter #Werbung von #Influencern. Wieso es wichtig ist dies von echten #Nachrichten und #Information unterscheiden zu können, erfahrt Ihr in der
Garniert wird das Ganze im Oktober noch mit drei Workshops zu #Desinformation #Berichterstattung und #Influencing
Danke nach #Leipzig #Sachsen für das spannende Angebot auf #Bildung

#Algorithmicculture, driven by machines, is increasingly #influencing our #dailylives and shaping our #culturallandscape. While this offers #convenience and new #possibilities, it also raises #concerns about the erosion of #humancreativity and the potential for #AIcontent to dominate. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/09/01/ai-is-coming-for-culture?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Hey influencers, nobody likes you
"The current set of typically self-declared #influencers come with a sense of #entitlement that is almost scary. They rarely provide any concrete or useful advice but are somehow #influencing the current generation of #youth. They exist across a wide range of subjects from golf to beauty and in general have no training, #experience or expertise in their chosen field, other than at a surface level."

“…details vary by context, but poli scientist Elizabeth David-Barrett lays out 3 general mechanisms of #StateCapture. They now sound familiar:shaping the rules of the game thru #law & #policy; #influencing admin decisions by capturing the #budget, appts, govt #contracts & #regulatory decisions;& #disabling checks on #power by #dismantling #accountability structures like the #judiciary, law enforcement & prosecution, & audit institutions like #IGs & #media.”

As Big Oil Ally Trump Returns, Industry Set to Turn #Lobbying Machine on US Consumers
"With "a supportive administration that has pledged to protect their interests," new analysis warns industry groups "may turn attention to #influencing the public." "
The drive to protect their 'social license' or public reputation" will center on "consumer choice."

The imposition of 100% tariffs across the board in a few months will have a devastating effect on the U.S. (and probably world) economy. The people who will be hurt the most will be lower- and middle-income families, as they can't absorb such massive price increases.
That will probably result in an influx of new social media influencers and web marketers. The competition for attention and visibility will skyrocket as people desperately seek to supplement their incomes to offset the rising prices that will be triggered by the tariffs.

Once you know the landscape, then you can work on a plan: maybe you need to give more training, maybe you need a broader feedback funnel from DS consumers, maybe you need to align roadmaps, maybe you need better governance. As you implement the plan, you can see how your organization responds and gain fans that will help influence change. #DesignSystems #OrganizationalChange #Influencing #Feedback

DevRel and Product Management with Jock Busuttil on the Voxgig podcast
I’m chatting with Voxgig’s Richard Rodger about common challenges in product management and DevRel:
» Why learning by soundbite gives a superficial understanding of the craft
» Why we’re finding it hard to communicate value to our bosses
+ more :-)

#Fascist #Florida #Governor #RonDeSantis goes #allin against #Florida's #abortionrights #amendment.
DeSantis' use of #state #resources to #oppose a #ballot #initiative in #Florida is #unusual, and #critics argue it #violates a #statute that #prohibits the state from "#influencing" a person's #vote.
