The Facebook Papers ft. Shoshana Wodinsky
Added 2021-12-03 11:10:10 +0000 UTC* We have unlocked this episode to begin the year, due to current events and also that it was a good and fun episode. New episodes - free and premium- will resume from next week*
--------------
This week, we talk to Gizmodo reporter Shoshana Wodinsky (@swodinsky), who covers the business of data, and is one of the leads on Gizmodo's ambitious project to make the Facebook Papers public.
We talk about some of the revelations from the Papers that didn't make the headlines, how much of Facebook's problems are caused by negligence and its sheer scale, rather than being outright ghouls, and the value of open source information gathering when studying the platform technologies collectively. Shoshana also brings us an NFT related meme that neither of us initially understand, and end up descending into a deep conversation about the virtue of hot keys and warm change.

Comments
Thought I'd posted a couple of comments here but I guess they've gone now. Just went on a rant about Lean/Agile development and how it encourages short term thinking and recklessness in the tech sector.

I don’t follow you on Twitter because I don’t follow anyone on Twitter because I don’t use Twitter (because I hate mosquitos and I appreciate such conveniences as modern sanitation and effective content moderation). I feel no need to use Twitter because, like a National Geographic photo safari, this podcast brings the social media wilds into my living room in a safe and enjoyable way.

2021-12-07 07:43:35 +0000 UTCfrom Trashfuture's last journalist guest to now this one on 10k, it's getting pretty funny seeing journalists talk only tangentially and naively about what they've discovered and the podcasters drawing actual information and conclusions like who care if they implement it badly or it doesn't make sense?? duh! why are these guests talking like that'll stop the company from forcing things upon people
