Twitch streamers, take note: Over the past week, I ran a series of controlled tests to find out why my streams weren’t getting views or revenue. What I uncovered points to intentional suppression—and Twitch just confirmed it in writing.

Time for action! 💪🏾

Today, we filed a formal #DSA complaint against X in Ireland, together with our Romanian member @apti.

We show how X misleads #TrustedFlaggers to use a wrong, non-functional online form in all EU languages but English.

Reminder: A few weeks ago we asked #X to rectify their faulty online forms, but while they thanked us for the info they didn't actually do anything about it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Yep – as tech leaders gain influence in politics

It's crucial to remember that innovation needs checks & balances. Power in the hands of a few isn’t progress; it’s a step backward.

The #KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute's research initiative is an important step towards greater understanding of the government's influence on tech platforms. By shedding light on the "jawboning" tactics used, we can work towards ensuring that tech platforms remain free from undue government influence. #TechFreedom #PlatformAccountability #PlatformTransparency #ModerationPolicies #TechPlatforms http://www.techmeme.com/231006/p5#a231006p5

Indeed, show a child a photo of a giraffe, and after three views, they will recognize it. Show AI a photo of a giraffe, and it'll need 10,000 copyrighted images to do so - #PlatformAccountability

The @OversightBoard has been PR scam from the start, providing air cover to Meta as it undermined democracy, public health, and public safety. The tweet below is a perfect example. Fact: there is no effective accountability for internet platforms. https://twitter.com/oversightboard/status/1641510271649734673

Another reminder that when Big Tech types use phrases like “creator economy,” this is what they’re referring to. You’re the creator, they’re the economy💸. #TikTok
