A cursory look shows that they're 95% far left academics who have parasitically inserted themselves into silicon valley. There might be 5% of them that have actually written a line of code in their lives.

2018-09-23 17:25:30 UTC  

I'm saying instead of delving into the more far left people and their batshit politics we should instead look at the 5% who are actual developers and any of the academics who have written in support of moderate policies like free speech for all. and try to get their take on things.

2018-09-23 17:27:09 UTC  

Well, the graph can expand

2018-09-23 17:27:11 UTC  

The board of directors on that list are all true believers. Worthless to engage them.

2018-09-23 17:27:23 UTC  

I can't really give you guys the tools I normally use for this

2018-09-23 17:27:36 UTC  

but maybe I should spend the rest of the day building something similar

2018-09-23 17:27:46 UTC  

But some of the advisors might not have known what they were getting into with these people. They might have advised on things without knowing that the goal was deplatforming and censorship.

2018-09-23 17:28:12 UTC  

Well, I think some of the advisors are along for the ride

2018-09-23 17:28:18 UTC  

they obviously all just know eachother

2018-09-23 17:28:31 UTC  

I would say it's useless to engage them privately

2018-09-23 17:28:43 UTC  

But undermining them publicly has its perks

2018-09-23 17:29:27 UTC  

Not to mention, a study of a similar nature to the false one they published can be produced

2018-09-23 17:29:42 UTC  

and carry more weight, with a pile of well-sourced claims

2018-09-23 17:29:45 UTC  

Deirdre Mulligan for example is probably not someone who would support deplatforming.

2018-09-23 17:29:54 UTC  

The Mainstream Influence Network

2018-09-23 17:30:23 UTC  

Yeah, I think she's just there because of a connection with Danah Boyd

2018-09-23 17:30:35 UTC  

through the University of California at Berkeley, School of Information

2018-09-23 17:31:17 UTC  

Deirdre is ~~their lawyer~~ one of their lawyers, and Danah Boyd is a Ph Doctorate of theirs.

2018-09-23 17:32:00 UTC  

boyd is a true believer.

2018-09-23 17:32:09 UTC  

Probably, yes.

2018-09-23 17:34:22 UTC  

@wacka Megafake, but funny.

@LotheronPrime After the timestamp? I "skimmed" the video from there onward and didn't hear any specifics. Must've skipped over that part. The physical side of it I get. Was mainly wondering if the psychological aspect comes down to varying preferences.

2018-09-23 17:51:50 UTC

2018-09-23 18:00:45 UTC  

@possumsquat93 Nah he didn't go into specifics, but my guess is that men and women might behave differently, on average, during an incident

2018-09-23 18:01:01 UTC  

it was more of a joke, anyway

2018-09-23 18:07:22 UTC  

Man, RDF tooling is pretty garbage

2018-09-23 18:07:41 UTC  

I blame XML being the interchange format

2018-09-23 18:07:55 UTC  

and URIs (!) being the only identifiers
