AnandWrites I know we have been at, and been through, dark moments before. But this feels like a transform-or-die moment. We are already not who many of us think we are. It’s hard to see us coming back to anything worth being if we don’t make a bold new start, top to bottom, soon.

AnandWrites With cities burning, police murdering, billionaires looting, one in four jobless, 100,000 dead, journalists being arrested, and a president calling for the shuttering of media, the curbing of voting, and violence against citizens, it is clear: America, to endure, must be remade.

"Regulations (…) require companies to get explicit consent for tracking, which poses an existential threat to many companies in the online tracking and advertising industry. In response, they appear to be turning to the wholesale use of dark patterns." queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=…

random_walker We need regulation of tech companies, but regulation won't be enough without cultural change in the industry. Some of the sacred cows of tech are antithetical to societal values. You can't regulate away a mindset. queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=… pic.twitter.com/YYUApAE5xh

amandamull Riots are, at their core, a choice made by those in power, not people who participate in them. If you build a society that exhausts and abuses people and privilege capital over human life, I’m not sure which other imaginary “civil” options you expect people to exercise
