We're getting the social media crisis wrong
The bigger problem isn't disinformation. It's degraded democratic publics

Shah Alam works outside Sotheby’s, shares a basement in the Bronx, and works 12-hour shifts at the fruit stand.

Last Wednesday, he sold a banana that would soon be duct-taped to a wall and auctioned as part of a work of art. When Alam was told the sale price, he began to cry.

X / Twitter shadow banning posts that mention BlueSky and Threads. Of course they are. Nothing is banned on X / Twitter ...unless it offends Musk.

The delicious irony in her having to self-censor her post because she KNOWS X will shadowban it if she writes "BlueSky" in full.
