  • 1396 the Platforms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruction)
    #1396 The Pla-orms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruc?on) JAY TOMLINSON - HOST, BEST OF THE LEFT: [00:00:00] Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Le; Podcast in which we shall learn about the role that social media plays in the radicalizaAon of discontented communiAes, and engage in the debate over content moderaAon and de-plaDorming of individuals. Clips today are from The Weeds, Newsbroke from AJ Plus, On the Media, Off-Kilter, a piece of a speech from Sasha Baron Cohen, Big Tech, Vox ConversaAons, the Medhi Hasan Show, and Your Undivided AVenAon. Why everyone hates Big Tech, with The Verge's Nilay Patel - The Weeds - Air Date 7-19-19 NILAY PATEL: [00:00:34] I think one thing everyone will agree on, just universally, is that these companies are not necessarily well-run. And even if they were perfectly run, the nature of wriAng and enforcing speech regulaAon is such that you're sAll gonna do a bad job. The United States has been trying to develop a free speech policy in our courts for 220+ years and we're preVy bad at it, but four guys at Facebook aren't going to do a good job up in 20 years. So there's that problem, where does the line cross from being a preVy funny joke to being overtly bigoted? It really depends on context. We all understand this. So it absolutely depends on the context. It depends on who you think you are speaking to, whether it's a group of your friends or whether suddenly TwiVer's algorithm grabs you and amplifies you to millions of people.

We believe everyone should be able to make personal choices in their daily lives that contribute to the common good. Our aim is to put this democratic idea into practice by working with organisations in ways that make them more effective and legitimate.

Our international network – which extends across Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, Brazil, India and China – provides a global perspective and enables us to work across borders. How we work Demos knows the importance of learning from experience. We test and improve our ideas in practice by working with people who can make change happen. Our collaborative approach means that our partners share in the creation and ownership of new ideas. What we offer We analyse social and political change, which we connect to innovation and learning in organisations.We help our partners show thought leadership and respond to emerging policy challenges. How we communicate As an independent voice, we can create debates that lead to real change.We use the media, public events, workshops and publications to communicate our ideas.

    What Happens Next – Sunday March 21, 2021 Loathing the Working Class, Censoring Conservatives, Future of Real Estate, Employment, Outsourcing My name is Larry Bernstein. What Happens Next offers listeners an in-depth analysis of the most pressing issues of the day. Our experts are given just SIX minutes to present. This is followed by a Q&A period for deeper engagement. I think you will find this discussion to be both informative and provocative. This program is moderated to be politically neutral. Our speakers will give their opinions and then we encourage you to make up your own mind. This week’s topics include Loathing the Working Class, Censoring Conservatives, the Future of Real Estate, How the new stimulus will impact employment, and Outsourcing Work Our first presenter today is Paul Embery who is a trade union activist and columnist for Unherd. He is the author of a new book entitled Despised: Why the Modern Left Loathes the Working Class. Paul lives in the UK and writes about the Labor parties disregard for the working-class voter. We will discuss the implications of UK elites shock at Brexit voters and their belief that these citizens are deplorables. Our second speaker is Eric Kaufmann who is a Professor of Politics at the University of London’s Birkbeck College. We met Eric on What Happens Next during our discussion of political polling when he discussed the failure of pollsters to properly account for Trump voters. Today, Eric will discuss his recent article in the Wall Street Journal about the current wave of censorship of conservative academics on college campuses.

Israeli Defense Minister to Develop 'Special Security Arrangement' with Gulf States - Report by Mary F. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Monday received the first-ever ambassador to Israel, Mohamed Mahmoud Al Khajah, from the UAE, following the agreement that the countries made last year to normalize relations. On Tuesday, Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz, while on a visit to an Israel-Gaza border crossing, revealed that Israel plans to develop a “special security arrangement” with new Gulf Arab allies, Reuters reported. “I don’t think it’s going to be a defense pact but we are going to develop defense relations with every country that we have relations with,” Gantz told Reuters. “We have this process of setting up [a] special security arrangement, and within this arrangement we can continue and develop our relations,” Gantz added, although he declined to provide additional details on what such an arrangement could include. Gantz also noted that Israel had no opposition to former US president Donald Trump’s deal to sell 50 Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth jets to the UAE during his last days in office. The deal is currently being examined by US President Joe Biden, Reuters reported last month. UAE envoy Mohamed Mahmoud Al Khajah arrived in Israel on Monday, where he met with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin during a ceremony in Jerusalem.
