Custodians of the Internet

Platforms, Content Moderation, and the Hidden Decisions That Shape Social Media

In his new book, "Custodians of the Internet," @TarletonG does a brilliant job of teasing out the governance work of major tech players vis-a-vis content. Hint: all algo-driven systems are political. So glad this is finally out!      source
