The propaganda campaign to reframe studying mis/disinfo as part of some “censorship industrial complex” to suppress the right was phenomenally effective - bc academia treated it as a debate ab facts, not a power game. Stanford botched the war for public opinion, thought status quo would hold. RE:

MUNDUS SINE CAESARIBUS, Catturd. No but srsly lol you should cry to Michael Shellenberger ab this. Transparency was supposed to be part of the deal alongside "freedom of speech not freedom of reach" (the only way to moderate centralized platforms). Your mercurial billionaire just didn't deliver. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreielyh5rsnf5hkium3t22wax6dnmyznod33xnvqkp4x6ieo57abywa

This is why we need many social platforms. The idea of one massive “public square” should be squarely over & dead by now -didn’t work, won’t work, can’t work. The whims of a billionaire shouldn’t be the rules. But on a centralized platform, they are. So here we are. [www.nytimes.com/interactive/...](

Oh, so Ladapo wants a vaccine mandate now — for *doctors* to be forced to see patients! The market has long provided plenty of quacks willing to indulge antivax parents, to be clear - this is just a power trip. They want to force people to cater to, and to legitimize, their delusions. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreigtmzh3pdff52vafchzqvnvyohuk2uv5gylp5eoz5crh2yighvcky

This article is extraordinary. I’m a mom of 3. I love it. In my 20s I thought I would have no kids, so I have Opinions on the “what are the incentives that make women want to have babies?” policy convo. This White House offers us, literally, elementary sex ed: “Learn about your cycle! MAHA!” 😳🫠 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreigkpwoh5gir72a5aefuip2ut7yevgcguo6n7kdmnvxj4s2yl32amm https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreid65bixifoq6mdgx3vkv4zpwj6bx3u7pime3no7cvaixb7l6xhaau
