"On #openprotocols, individual providers may address threats within their own systems, but lack the network-wide capacity to address coordinated activity across infrastructures or protocols. This is a gap that commercial actors have little incentive to address…
This points to the safety and integrity of the #publicsquare being coordinated as a critical #publicfunction, backed by #publicfunding. The practical implication is a core of publicly provisioned infrastructure."

For years, #SocialMedia giants have been fighting #regulation as #media, saying that they are not producing content, that they are simply the #PublicSquare, facilitating discourse. This is total bullshit. They curate what you see, and skew it to manipulate you, not just to keep you engaged, but also to inflame our differences and to influence whether and how we #vote.

A Monkey Attraction
A man walks through Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakesh with a monkey on a chain, looking for tourists who will have their photo taken with his companion.
We humans don’t treat animals well.

@Tengrain They should be assumed to be disease vectors, and interacted with accordingly!
Fortunately, the #PublicSquare website helps #Normies do just that! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/publicsquare-trump-critics-boycott-businesses_n_680900d2e4b00850c6839b0b

@astoriadave @Nichelle @evoterra Forgot to share screenshots of some of the “featured” #PhoenixArizona businesses are in #PublicSquare. There are an unreal number of hair stylists, media companies and chiropractors on this MAGA site. Here’s a few I don’t really want to know more about. In particular the Russia company? And the very porno-adjacent tattoo artist. 😬

@astoriadave @Nichelle Hadda go look and without enabling their cookies did a search for #PhoenixArizona and got 289 businesses first result. One surprise @evoterra is Barb’s Bakery! Omg! Never going back there. #PublicSquare is quite a service if you want to find other places to spend your money.

#SocialMedia posts about #PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies NOT to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.
