this is a genuinely unsettling thing to see an NYT writer say. it's essentially an uncontested fact that in the social media era, large majorities of people don't read past the headline.
also, with love, I think people ascribe too much power to headlines. I see this discourse that seems to assume that, if the headline was different, it would somehow be a KO to make the subject of the story act different? but when subjects call to complain about a story, it's almost always a detail.

Notice that they suddenly discover that active voice when it's a cop that's murdered. If a cop had deliberately run over a civilian it would be all "A traffic-related fatality occurred when a man was struck by a vehicle which contained a police officer."

U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one
U.S. officials can’t find any Greenlanders who want to talk to Usha Vance
A local travel company in Greenland’s capital also cancelled a planned visit by Usha Vance

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

without section 230, you could have a world where bluesky is liable for me calling this man a clueless, tech illiterate, fascist enabling motherfucker
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Sen. DURBIN: Fentanyl often gets to our kids and young people through the internet.
Section 230 absolves social media companies from any responsibility. “That has got to end.”

The same way we enforce everything else. If you think it’s hopeless, go comply in advance off to the side and let the rest of us fight for democracy.

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

really wish you could report an account for only posting horrific content. the account at issue below has only posted animal cruelty; no one should have to click into that stuff to appropriately report it.
seems like a quick win to expand the scope of “posts unwanted content” at the account level?
