Prepping for today's thread, the story of the CURRENT CYBERWAR is clearly overwhelming. J.E. Dyer @OptimisticCon links us to this story. Just one quote to

We’ve spent the last ten months building #CitizenBrowser, a project that aims to peek inside the Black Box of social media algorithms, by building a nationwide panel to share data with us. Today, we are publishing our first story from the project. /1
.@corintxt crunched the numbers and found that after Facebook flipped the switch for political ads, partisan content elbowed out reputable news outlets in our panelists’ news feeds. https://t.co/Z0kibSBeQZ /2
You can learn more in our methodology, where we describe how we did this and what steps we took to ensure that we preserved the panelists' privacy. https://t.co/UYbTXAjy5i /3
Personally, this project is the culmination of years of experiments trying to figure out how to collect data from social media platforms in a way that can lead to meaningful reporting. I’ve described a couple of highlights below 👇 /4
My first attempt was in 2016 at Propublica, when I was working with @JuliaAngwin . We were interested in seeing if there was a difference in the Ad interests FB disclosed to users in their settings and the interests they showed to marketers. /5

The new tactics to implement the #CancelCulture are quite ingenious. They are not going after what they want cancelled directly, they are going after how it gets to you! It’s attacking the free market, and it’s harder to spot and harder to fight before it’s done! Read on!
1/
Here’s an example. If there’s a challenge to the normal Social Media platforms, then they aren’t wasting time going after the new app, they are making the app unavailable well more difficult to get. This puts people off from going to the trouble or switching.
2/
They are going to do this in a way you won’t see it coming. They are going to stop it before the source.
Soon, the media is going to be a complete left wing echo-chamber. Social Media, TV and Papers all left wing and you don’t get to say “what about free speech?”
3/
Why? Because they aren’t playing against free speech. They are going after the free market. This also gives you an idea what socialism can and will do.
I don’t expect my account to last long now I’m watching this and exposing it! Please share, stand your ground and don’t quit!
Here’s the proof that CNN are trying to get Fox cancelled at the broadcast level, stop it getting into people’s homes by getting the TV providers to ban it. Again, targeted before what we see as the source. This is also the groundwork for any
