Yasha Levine: "Still censored by Twitter"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 3, 2020

Jan. 3, 2020

Yasha Levine, giornalista investigativo, è autore, oltre al resto, del recente libro "Surveillance Valley - The Secret Military History of the Internet" (https://surveillancevalley.com/) che menziono senza averlo ancora letto. jc *Still censored by Twitter** */Surveillance Valley wins. Immigrants as a Weapon never stood a chance./ Yasha Levine Dec 27, 2019 It’s been a week since Twitter locked my account <https://yasha.substack.com/p/twitter-censored-my-tweet-locked> because of a tweet connected to my recent Immigrants as a Weapon letter <https://yasha.substack.com/p/trumps-impeachment-ukraine-and-war> — the one about Trump’s impeachment and the “Ukraine Doctrine.” I still have no idea how Twitter made this decision and how it happened — and that’s even after a Twitter PR rep responded to my email <https://yasha.substack.com/p/twitter-censorship-and-political> and offered to explain what happened. Actually, the company’s response is the most annoying thing about this. […] Continua qui: https://yasha.substack.com/p/still-censored-by-twitter

"I Was Google’s Head of International Relations. Here’s Why I Left."
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 3, 2020

Jan. 3, 2020

Già ripreso da varie testate, tra cui https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/2/21046522/google-china-dragonfly-ross-laje… Buon Anno! juan carlos *----------- I Was Google’s Head of International Relations. Here’s Why I Left.** */The company’s motto used to be “Don’t be evil.” Things have changed.// / Ross LaJeunesse Jan 2 When I walked out the door on my last day as Google’s Head of International Relations, I couldn’t help but think of my first day at the company. I had exchanged a wood-paneled office, a suit and tie, and the job of wrestling California’s bureaucracy as Governor Schwarzenegger’s deputy chief of staff for a laptop, jeans, and a promise that I’d be making the world better and more equal, under the simple but powerful guidance “Don’t be evil.” I joined Google in 2008, when those words still mattered. I saw them used to guide product designs that put the company’s success above a user’s privacy, such as during the development of Google’s ill-fated social network, Buzz. I used those words myself in 2010 as Head of Public Policy for Asia Pacific, when I executed the company’s landmark decision to stop censoring Search results in China, putting human rights ahead of the bottom line.

La sinistra e la rivoluzione digitale
by de petra giulio Jan. 3, 2020

Jan. 3, 2020

Una rivista un po’ vintage, che si chiama ‘Critica Marxista’, ha pubblicato un mio articolo su come la politica della sinistra potrebbe confrontarsi con la trasformazione digitale, nella cui scrittura ho fatto riferimento a molti dei temi trattati in questa lista. Mi permetto di segnalarlo a chi può essere interessato. Giulio

Quarantining online hate speech: technical and ethical perspectives | SpringerLink
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 2, 2020

Jan. 2, 2020

Trattare lo hate speech come un virus: dove zoppica il paragone? <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-019-09516-z> In this paper we explore quarantining as a more ethical method for delimiting the spread of Hate Speech via online social media platforms. Currently, companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google generally respond reactively to such material: offensive messages that have already been posted are reviewed by human moderators if complaints from users are received. The offensive posts are only subsequently removed if the complaints are upheld; therefore, they still cause the recipients psychological harm. In addition, this approach has frequently been criticised for delimiting freedom of expression, since it requires the service providers to elaborate and implement censorship regimes. In the last few years, an emerging generation of automatic Hate Speech detection systems has started to offer new strategies for dealing with this particular kind of offensive online material. Anticipating the future efficacy of such systems, the present article advocates an approach to online Hate Speech detection that is analogous to the quarantining of malicious computer software. If a given post is automatically classified as being harmful in a reliable manner, then it can be temporarily quarantined, and the direct recipients can receive an alert, which protects them from the harmful content in the first instance. The quarantining framework is an example of more ethical online safety technology that can be extended to the handling of Hate Speech. Crucially, it provides flexible options for obtaining a more justifiable balance between freedom of expression and appropriate censorship.
