Ten Thousand Posts

The Return To Oz ft. Jathan Sadowski

Added 2021-03-02 12:30:39 +0000 UTC

In this week's bonus episode, we speak to friend of the show Jathan Sadowski, co-host of the very good podcast This Machine Kills (@machinekillspod), about why Facebook tried to cancel Australia simply for posting too hard. What does this suggest about the future of Facebook as a platform, and does the new deal between Platforms and news outlets in Australia actually benefit journalists? (spoiler: unless you are related to Rupert Murdoch, probably not).

We also talk about whether Bitcoin is weaponised toxic masculinity, or if posts like this actually illustrate how most of us still don't really know how it works (despite BTC guys screaming at you on Twitter) so instead choose to project all our anxieties and traumas onto the blockchain.
