Like every Sunday – or almost following a break of almost six years – here is our selection of the most interesting links of recent days. They come from the most interesting/useful/original comments of the week, but also from our research.
Information collapse?
Hubert Guillaud offers us an overview of several articles and analyzes (rather pessimistic) of what he describes as “ information collapse “. Some extracts from his (long) article: “ Since Cambridge Analytica, Trump, Brexit and Covid, information has become a problem for social networks… Summoned by the authorities to arbitrate the truth, most of them now seem to take refuge outside of information , to become places of self-fulfillment resistant to politics ».
« With the pandemic, Trump, Black Lives Matter, Twitter has reached a tipping point, collapsing under its own power. The audience began to ebb under his toxicity. By reinforcing its virality and toxicity, the platform continues to decline. The challengers (Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon…) are to Twitter “what methadone is to heroin” ».
