@skillsgaptrainer A great excerpt from Tucker Carlson you’ve selected. The segment’s relevance and significance cannot be overstated. The quote, “…but go ahead and talk about something that really matters, and see what happens. If you keep it up, they’ll make you keep quiet,” resonates powerfully. In fact, seasoned computer scientists are increasingly advocating for a shift in the social media landscape. Their hope is that users, like us, will start contributing more long-form, granular, and in-depth content to our public platforms. This not only challenges us to think more deeply about the issues at hand, but also promotes a culture of open and authentic communication – a model that, if adopted broadly, could significantly enrich our online interactions AND make it difficult for gatekeepers to prevent the spread of informative, useful, realistic, honest and authentic dialogue. We are glad people are taking note that it can be challenging to distribute educational content on social media or other platforms. By working harder to distribute informative and well developed, longer form comments, we can all put pressure to achieve digital freedom.”
