    Confused? Keep reading. We'll get to that. Black Twitter is part cultural force, cudgel, entertainment and refuge. It is its own society within Twitter, replete with inside jokes, slang and rules, centered on the interests of young blacks online - almost a quarter of all black Internet users are on Twitter.

    Who knew there was a format to tweet! I like the thick tweets, they give more information. It truly takes skill to give that much info in 140 characters. I think more people need to try to tweet like this. I've seen more of the thin tweets in my Twitter universe of friends and family. Thick is in for me...now to do it right!

    This is good to know. I am always careful to be politically correct when I blog for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending others. Although I'm sure I'll still be that way it's nice to know that my opinion on a topic is protected.

    I think it is great that bloggers have the same freedom of speech protection as journalists, but journalists sometimes get a lot of heat for what they write, especially if it is not in favor of the person they are talking about. Now every time I am about to post something publicly, especially on Twitter, I remember what Professor Knight said on the first day of class, that the person you are talking about may see it and respond to you. #emac6300

    I think this is great news as well. As a blogger myself, I do try to be considerate of other people's beliefs, feelings, etc. But, people should also have the freedom to talk about what they like. I have been thinking about Professor Knight's comment about Twitter posts as well, lol. That definitely wouldn't be a good situation to be in. I like the concept of the "trigger warning" too. It's a good way for people to be able to choose whether or not they want to go forward with reading the material.

  • At its peak, the project drew in more than 40,000 Cubans to share news and exchange opinions. But its subscribers were never aware it was created by the U.S. government, or that American contractors were gathering their private data in the hope that it might be used for political purposes.

  • Simultaneously, though, we must understand that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other profit-driven companies are not neutral platforms for these conversations.
  • tech industrialists are the Rockefellers of this century, with profit, not innovation or the social good, as their primary motive
  • The lobby group FWD.us, brought to us by founders and investors of Facebook, LinkedIn and Spotify, among others, famously supported the Keystone XL oil pipeline with millions in pro-pipeline advertising
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Peers.org, an initiative launched by "sharing economy" companies like the home-subletting site Airbnb, have resisted government regulation, even as disability advocates fear services like the "rideshare" service Uber are increasing inequality between people with and without disabilities
  • they're doing everything they can to avoid paying taxes
  • gentrification
  • San Francisco has lost at least 40 percent of its black population since 1990, more than any other major city
  • But the fact is tech companies continue the practices of devaluation of racialized and feminized labor on a global scale
  • There are no easy answers
  • Another answer is for tech workers to, in tech lingo, disrupt the industry's exploitation by developing alternative tools for connecting us all. Firefox, LibreOffice, PirateBay, Wikipedia and WordPress are all widely used technology-based tools created by organizations that don't count profit as their foremost objective.
  • More important, we can organize with and support the media and activists that already are doing this work, like the Bay Area's POOR Magazine

  • the mainstream media attention is a trap. The media makes our movements into spectacles, rather than acknowledging them as the origins of serious decrees for radical action.
