If we stop feeding the monster, the monster will die

November 20, 2022 ~ Oleg Dulin

I believe Musk when he says that Twitter usage is at an all-time high: “And … we just hit another all-time high in Twitter usage lol,” the tech mogul tweeted late Thursday. Earlier, Musk had tweeted, “The best people are staying, so I’m not super worried.” He is right to be not “super worried.” People are … Continue reading If we stop feeding the monster, the monster will die

Should we abolish Section 230 ?

February 1, 2021February 10, 2021 ~ Oleg Dulin

Section 230 does not need to be abolished — it needs to be revised. We need to clarify the distinction between hosts, content-sharing services, content-discovery services, content-consumption services, discussion boards, and publishers.

Facebook vastly improved their advertiser vetting process

January 21, 2019January 21, 2019 ~ Oleg Dulin

I am happy to see Facebook solidify and tighten their advertiser vetting process. The lack of anonymity and identity verification makes it harder to spread fake news and propaganda with impunity.

A conservative version of Facebook?

August 30, 2018September 2, 2018 ~ Oleg Dulin

It is worth reiterating that none of the big tech companies owe anybody anything with regards to the type of content they are willing to host.

Fixing the Information Marketplace

On Facebook and Twitter censorship

August 20, 2018January 25, 2019 ~ Oleg Dulin

In the recent weeks, there have been reports of Twitter and Facebook censoring, blocking, and shadowbanning American Republicans on their platforms. The outrage brings up a few interesting points that are worth discussing.

Leaving Facebook and Twitter: here are the alternatives

March 25, 2018 ~ Oleg Dulin

In my post on social media and intersection of politics and technology I wrote about a social networking platform that addresses the ills of the current big providers like Facebook and Twitter in light of the 2016 election interference. I have more thoughts on the topic today. I am not going to rehash what everyone … Continue reading Leaving Facebook and Twitter: here are the alternatives

When politics and technology intersect

March 24, 2018 ~ Oleg Dulin ~ 1 Comment

It’s been awhile since I last wrote. I’ve been experiencing a sort of a writing block since at least six months ago. This post is my attempt to break it. Ever since the election I’ve been deeply concerned about the state of the United States. What used to be collegial disagreements over policy issues between … Continue reading When politics and technology intersect

Social Media Detox

July 11, 2015August 9, 2015 ~ Oleg Dulin

I am going on a two week vacation to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. One of the things I would like to accomplish is a clean up of my social media use. Another is a detox of sorts: I want to see if I can give up daily checking and participation in Facebook. I use … Continue reading Social Media Detox
