Wrote a piece in @techpolicypress.bsky.social on some of the lessons that Meta’s Q3 threat report brings back to the surface in online IO:
1. Tension between virality & opsec
2. Experimentation is ongoing

Oxford dictionary's word of the year: "brain rot."
@shiraovide.bsky.social prefers another one from the shortlist: "slop."
“Spammers are opportunists,” I shared.
“They’re constantly asking: What are people online interested in, and what technologies are available?”

Digital identity is going to be a hugely important space in the next few years. A lot of complaints in this thread highlight the reasons why.
There's a whole lot of conversation still to be had about proving identity, but just want to call out that this option is available right now (and super cool to see!)
The only way Dylan could get a nytimes-dot-com handle like this is if nytimes set it up!
