Q5-what’s a #bot #chatbot ? I didn’t know you could buy ‘likes’ on @facebook . How are people to know what’s happening?

Q4-Can #journalism as public good coexist within a monetised system?

#mqREP @heffnera advocates for #journalism is a #publicservice for #publicgood at its core, it should be used for #prosocial applications, for constructive #activism to develop robustness of discourse in service of the betterment of humanity
#postpartisancitizenship

#mqREP @heffnera examines Zuckerberg’s @Harvard address ‘lack of purpose is my drive’, suggests that crisis isn’t an absence of purposes but malicious incentives #clickbait
@facebook and @Twitter need to acknowledge they can be (and have been) high-jacked for malicious purposes

#mqREP @heffnera proposes a solution #postpartisancitizenship - a post-partisan future
Allegiance is not to a political party or tribalism
Instead a new definition of communitarianism

#dialogue

#mqREP @heffnera calls for new language, lexicon, approach to bring a moral compass to the digital age; a way to function in a space in which toxic truncation of information flourishes, preventing adequate context

#mqREP @heffnera
three sources of incivility: bigotry, obstructionism, disfunction; the faux-activism of #millennials #postmillennials ‘make your voice heard in a public space’; challenging truth and discourse in the monetised social media
#postpartisancitizenship

Fascinating #offthecuff provocation by @heffnera exploring civility, consensus, public discourse, evidence-based debate, quality of journalism, argument, and evidence
