Earlier this week, I spoke to Thom Waite. It was for a Dazed article on the role of Elon Musk’s X. The focus was during the recent US Presidential Election. We discussed whether the recent exodus from X will continue. We also explored reasons why people would choose to stay on the microblogging site.
Many thanks to Thom for the invitation. The article can be read in full here.
Yesterday I was interviewed by Roberto Perrone on BBC Three Counties Radio about Elon Musk’s proposal to charge commercial companies and governments to use the platform. I raised some questions about the desirability and feasibility of Musk’s plan to make algorithms open source, authenticate humans and remove bots, and whether users might leave the site if these charges are introduced.
Thanks to Rob, Usman, and the BBC Three Counties Radio team for the interview.
