Ultimately Free, local organizers say they hope recent attention on political

None of those works very well, as opposed to what I think is really more important: put more power into the hands of the community. Now, what does that look like for Wikipedia? We know that. What does that look like for Facebook? That’s a hard problem. I don’t have a simple solution for them.

Given that they’ve got a very difficult problem, what I would say is, they need to really think harder about the model that they’re using for moderation, which I think doesn’t scale very well. Hiring people in sweatshop conditions to make content judgements or trying to get AI — which is not really ready to judge the nuances of human conversation — to do it, neither of those is scaling very well.Danielle Brown, Black Voters Matter’s state organizer for North Carolina, echoes this sentiment. “We might be suppressed but we got a whole lot of people out here that are working through that suppression and working through that intimidation, that are actually out here busting their behinds and doing this work on a daily basis.”For us, these kinds of things — we don’t say, “Oh yes, people should be allowed to say whatever they want.” “Oh, but what if it’s so offensive?” They have to deal with that. It’s really hard because the point of Facebook and Twitter is to just post whatever you think and your ideas, and therefore, you’re going to find some people who have completely horrific ideas.

You know how you see some people and you just wish there was more to them than what they showed to the world? That wasn’t how I felt about Paris Hilton. But her recent This Is Paris documentary proved me wrong. Here’s what I learned about her branding strategy and how that inspired me.

“I think people kind of have this perception of Southern Black voters that they’re either completely unaware of the political process… these are some of the most politically astute people that you will ever meet. They’re living the bad policies day-to-day,” Jackson says. “It’s not that they’re disengaged or that they don’t understand, it’s just that there’s so little hope that a vote will change my everyday circumstance.”

I must admit, I didn’t intend to watch the whole thing, nor did I approach it open-mindedly. I was looking for a 5-minute break and cheap laughs with her iconic “that’s hot” phrase in the background.

We don’t have to really deal with some very complicated edges around what advocacy is crossing lines that are just too offensive because, really, at Wikipedia, you’re not supposed to be advocating for any particular thing at all, except for how do we make Wikipedia better? How do we describe these ideas fairly? If you come into Wikipedia with some sort of an agenda, however mild, that’s probably not the right thing to do.The one thing about Facebook that I think is really, really interesting is, because of the structure of ownership of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has probably one of the strongest CEO positions of any company. It would be very difficult for anybody to oust him as CEO. Therefore, he can make decisions that would be death to a CEO who has to really panic about quarterly results.My classic example would be zoning laws. If you overnight eliminate all zoning laws, I’m not sure you would get to the same place you would have gotten to had you had a more market-oriented solution from the beginning because zoning laws, in some ways, roughly replicate what a more market-oriented system might’ve come to. I don’t know, I guess I’m a gradualist in that sense.

The YouTube algorithm works in mysterious ways. So mysterious that when it recommended Paris’ new documentary, I clicked. Up until that point, all I knew about Paris Hilton was that she was a spoiled blond brat living the influencer life. Oh, and that ridiculous rumor she was a DJ once.

If you ignore her trying to balance honesty and the robot-bimbo brand she’s embodied, it becomes obvious what Paris is all about. She’s more than the spoiled granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels.

WALES: Ohh, for Facebook. Management advice, I don’t know. I always say I’m a terrible manager, but if I were giving advice to Facebook, I think they’ve got a real hard problem. To be a little bit sympathetic for a moment — although I’ve been quite critical of Facebook in many ways — one of the things that we find easier at Wikipedia is that Wikipedia has never been a place that’s a wide-open free-speech forum.
