  1. I agree #MattTaibbi is no saint and has changed a bit, but this episode is misleading re him and the Russia conspiracy. It wasn't about Russia fucking around in 2016 like all states do, but the claim that Trump was working with Putin to do whatever necessary (including break laws) to beat Hilary. And they used the claim to try to make it impossible for him to do anything in the first term. And saying that got you called names and dismissed. I can see how that broke Matt.

  2. Der verlorene Kampf gegen Desinformation
    In den USA tobt ein politischer Kulturkampf um Desinformation, Faktenprüfungen und Plattformregeln. Was als technische Frage der Moderation begann, ist zu einem Angriff auf Institutionen geworden, die Falschinformatio

  3. #BookReview: “How #Tech #Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left”

    'Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left, examines how new wealth has drawn some formerly progressive journalists. Owned looks at #MattTaibbi and #GlennGreenwald (who was always right wing libertarian with axes to grind that suited the left, as is snowden) once idealistic-sounding, left-leaning voices who shifted right'

  4. Apparently this book #Owned argues the tech billionaires indirectly bought #GlennGreenwald and #MattTaibbi. Maybe. I do think media ownership always influences the content. And also that creators come to recognize how to shape their content to get popular with different crowds. But #CitationsNeeded always claims that if you're not their version of left on an issue, something bad faith is going on. And none of these folks ever say this all demands media decentralization.

  5. #MattTaibbi is taking a victory lap re the #Trump EO telling govt not to tell social media companies what speech to limit. I get the sentiment but this isn't a real solution. Some speech is illegal. Govts get to speak and companies can react however they want. They can limit speech in service of govt officials they like without request and only the size of their platform will determine the political impact. Decentralization is the only real long-term solution. #SocialWeb

  6. In an recent interview Matt Taibbi has a LOT of very interesting things to say about the state of the internet. Also this....

    >The [US] election is already a massive turning point in American history because its essentially exposed the entire cultural framework of the country as having no influence and having been lost to its audience, and that's something we've never seen before in this country. It's fascinating(....) Everything is on the table now. This is maybe the end of everything for NATO, for the intelligence services(....) these agencies that we fund so heavily can't even answer the most basic questions about their own populations, they don't even understand things that the average barber in a small town in America gets without ANY funding. These people are so locked up in their own hermetically sealed bubble of stupidity that they can't see beyond their own prejudices, and so that makes them dangerous and useless and expensive. So its ironic but it worries me too [with respect to assassination attempts on Trump] because their continued bureaucratic existence is at stake." #MattTaibbi on #AfshinRattansi #GoingUnderground

    he says he's being "suppress[ed]" by the #muskrat today also.

  7. "Before publishing Wednesday’s interview with former... congresswoman #TulsiGabbard, I sent a query to the Transportation Security Administration. Was it true Gabbard was placed under #surveillance via its “#QuietSkies” program? If so, why? If not, why did she receive Quad-S security designations? Was the firm Empower Oversight wrong to claim the #TSA commenced a retaliatory investigation into (the) whistleblowers?

    A reply ... has come in:" -#MattTaibbi

  8. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks #NicholasHoult looks a lot like #MattTaibbi. It's weird watching the former as Peter the Terrible and knowing Matt spent a lot of time in Russia when he was younger and that lots of people think he's some kind of Putin puppet. #TheGreat

  9. > ... he was not the choice of corporate America. The... money went elsewhere... Business would rather have a.. pliable Republican in office...[not] an unstable, irascible character like Trump. But then he defeated all of the typical obstacles... and now all of these traditional insider actors like #GoldmanSachs and #ExxonMobil and God knows who else, have all glommed onto his presidency and they’re getting whatever they want.

  10. #ElonMusk has deepened his feud with #MattTaibbi.

    A message to all dissident lefties. The billionaires who claim to also hate the establishment are just jealous of their power. They want to take that ability to shape public opinion for themselves instead. They don't want the public to know what's most likely true and make their own decisions. That's an old school liberal idea. It's what media decentralization promises, advanced by the #fediverse, building on the WWW.

  12. "In the last 6-8 months... the landscape for non-corporate media businesses has tightened dramatically. Independent media content is increasingly hard to find via platform searches, even when exact terminology, bylines, or dates are entered by users. Social media platforms that once provided effective marketing and distribution at little to no cost are now difficult to navigate even with the aid of paid boosting tools."

    Kushners, Musk and all the Saudi royalty in the stands
    I'm so glad that my friend @dangillmor always refers to #X as the Saudi-funded social media company.
    I wonder what the writer of the #TwitterFiles, #MattTaibbi, have to say about this?
    (Of course now it would be the X-Files & would be on #Substack for his 30,000 paid subscribers only )

  15. OMG....Twitter is a MAGA mess of Trump supporting idiots....and wow wow wow, #ChrisCuomo and #MattTaibbi clip where they are bashing the indictment....really? Guess Chris has gone to the Russian side now, too. Some ratF*k is claiming DT is our new Mandela...Pu lease. I can't even.

  16. To date, not a single document revealed has shown what people now falsely believe: that the US government and Twitter were working together to “censor” people based on their political viewpoints.
    Why is that a viewpoint? #disinformation

    “#Twitter responded to questions emailed on Monday with a poop emoji, an automated response set up by Musk.”

  19. In a fight between #ElonMusk and #matttaibbi , I'm rooting for a sinkhole beneath the ring to open up.
