凯文·哈特（Kevin Hart）是一位受欢迎的喜剧演员和演员，在周五上午之前，他一直被安排担任2019年奥斯卡颁奖典礼的主持人。如果他没有违反网络生活中神圣不可侵犯的规则之一：永远不要推特，那么他仍然会是2019年奥斯卡颁奖典礼的主持人。

在他被任命为主持人后不久，BuzzFeed的迈克尔·布莱克蒙（Michael Blackmon）回顾了哈特疯狂删除的一些推文：

“Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay,’” read a 2011 tweet that Hart deleted sometime on Wednesday or Thursday.

Benjamin Lee, an editor at the Guardian, was one of the first to point out Hart’s old tweets following the Oscars announcement. “I wonder when Kevin Hart is gonna start deleting all his old tweets,” Lee tweeted, adding screenshots from some of Hart’s since-deleted tweets in which he said someone looked like “a gay bill board for AIDS” and called another person a “FAT FAG.”

哈特的反***思想在以前并不完全是秘密。正如李在为《卫报》撰写的一篇文章中所指出的，哈特在2010年的一次特别单口秀中描述了他对儿子会变成***的恐惧，以及他打算尽一切可能阻止***的发生。（）我不是***恐惧症，”哈特补充道

在好莱坞度过了一年之后，你可能会认为奥斯卡在提名主持人之前可能已经在推特上搜索过了。就在三个月前，《银河系电影卫士》（Guards of Galaxy movies）的知名导演詹姆斯·冈恩（James Gunn）在一场虚假的运动中被解雇，这场运动旨在将他与2010年推特笑话中的恋童癖联系起来。

布莱恩·拉弗瑞在《连线》杂志上报道说，哈特可以选择道歉，也可以选择加倍努力做一个反***的**

In an Instagram post from that morning, Hart appeared bratty, defensive, and completely di**issive of the growing pushback (he also seemed kind of drowsy, possibly because he filmed it from a bed). “Our world is becoming beyond crazy,” Hart complained, “and I’m not gonna let the craziness frustrate me … if you don’t believe people change, grow, evolve as they get older, [then] I don’t know what to tell you.” In the accompanying caption, he wrote, “If u want to search my history or past and anger yourselves with what u find that is fine with me. I’m almost 40 years old and I’m in love with the man I am becoming.”

显然，在哈特的世界里，一个男人爱一个男人是可以的——只要那个男人是你自己。

显然，哈特作为奥斯卡颁奖典礼主持人的短暂任期是一个愚蠢的故事，到今晚《欢乐时光》的时候，我们都会忘记这个故事。但这让我想起了我最近在主板上看到的一篇关于推特行为的好文章：“互联网不需要文明，它需要道德，”由传播学教授惠特尼·菲利普斯（Whitney Phillips）和瑞安·M。米尔纳。

在这篇文章中，教授们鼓励我们将Twitter视为一个生态系统，在这个生态系统中，用户拥有不同程度的“生物量”（追随者）。

In biology, biomass pyramids chart the relative number or weight of one class of organi** compared to another organi** within the same ecosystem. For a habitat to support one lion, the biomass pyramid shows, it needs a whole lot of insects. When applied to questi*** of online toxicity, biomass pyramids speak to the fact that there are far more everyday, relatively low-level cases of harmful behavior than there are apex predator cases—the kinds of acti*** that are explicitly and wilfully harmful, from coordinated hate and haras**ent campaigns to media manipulation tactics designed to sow chaos and confusion.

菲利普斯和米尔纳认为，昆虫的集体不良行为对推特的整体健康至少和狮子一样重要；

This bottom strata includes posting snarky jokes about an unfolding news story, tragedy, or controversy; retweeting hoaxes and other misleading narratives ironically, to condemn them, make fun of the people involved, or otherwise assert superiority over those who take the narratives seriously; making ambivalent inside jokes because your friends will know what you mean (and for white people in particular, that your friends will know you’re not a real racist); @mentioning the butts of jokes, critiques, or collective mocking, thus looping the target of the conversation into the discussion; and easiest of all, jumping into conversati*** mid-thread without knowing what the issues are. Regarding visual media, impactive everyday behaviors include responding to a thread with a GIF or reaction image featuring random everyday strangers, or posting (and/or remixing) the latest meme to comment on the news of the day.

不幸的是，作者提出的解决方案基本上可以归结为“更好”——很好的建议，但不太可能被大规模采纳。尽管如此，这还是值得思考的——特别是对于像我这样的人来说，他既喜欢发布关于新闻报道的尖刻笑话，也喜欢**矛盾的内部笑话，因为我的朋友会知道我的意思。

无论如何，我想到了这篇关于哈特的文章，因为他的推特显示他是一个吃狮子的昆虫——利用他巨大的平台去追捕一大群试图生存的无害的人！谈论打倒。

我忍不住想知道，如果Twitter在八年前一直在监控像他这样的狮子对丑陋的反***诽谤的报道，会发生什么。也许他当时可以吸取教训，并在2019年主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼。

事实上，没有他，这场演出会好得多。

谷歌听证会将预演民主党在大型科技领域的战略

Cecilia Kang和Daisuke Wakabayashi表示，我们应该关注下周与Sundar Pichai举行的听证会，以了解民主党打算如何在众议院行使新权力的迹象：

The hearing will provide an early glimpse of how Democrats plan to approach Silicon Valley giants in the coming year as they assume control of the House of Representatives. And the testimony from Mr. Pichai, who is appearing before lawmakers after initially resisting, may provide clues about how he and the company will approach them.

Democratic lawmakers, angry about Russian misinformation online during the 2016 campaign and concerned about the expanding influence of tech’s biggest companies, are expected to target the industry in the next Congress. Some have already raised concerns about potential antitrust and privacy violati***, showing more willingness than Republicans to regulate an industry viewed as an engine of economic growth.

众筹网站Patreon正在清除极右翼人物

Patreon正在从该服务中删除更多引人注目的极右翼人物，David Gilbert报道：

The accounts of British c***piracy theorist YouTuber Carl Benjamin, better known as Sargon of Akkad, and U.S. far-right political commentator James Allsup, were removed Thursday.

The ban will be a particular blow for Benjamin, who was earning more than $12,000 a month from the crowdfunding site.

剑桥分析公司的管理人员误导了法官，高等**告诉他

这是一个非常密集的故事，关于今天关于剑桥分析公司解散的听证会。老实说，它是如此的深奥，以至于我无法告诉你它的意思，但我觉得重要的是，我注意到这里发生的听证会是为了子孙后代。周一版向任何能将此翻译成美式英语的人提供金星和免费时事通讯：

Responding, Watson-Gandy told the court that Carroll “was not a qualifying floating chargeholder, he had not served a winding-up petition, he was not any of those who are the traditional respondents to an application [for administration].”

惊喜三分之二的美国居民会很高兴他们的城市赢得亚马逊的HQ2

雷科德对美国人进行了关于亚马逊地区办事处1和2的调查，发现大多数人对该项目有积极的印象，拉尼·莫拉报道：

Of those who were aware of Amazon’s decision, 67 percent of respondents in the U.S. said they would have been happy if Amazon had chosen their home area for an HQ2. Those people overwhelmingly cited jobs (92 percent) as the reason for their approval, while nearly 60 percent said investment in public works and infrastructure improvements was their reason.

Some 44 percent had a favorable view of Amazon’s decision to split its new headquarters between two cities, while 47 percent were indifferent and just 9 percent had a negative opinion.

揭示：汤米·罗宾逊背后隐藏的全球网络

《卫报》发现，一名极右翼活动家利用Facebook的筹款工具为一名英国信息战克隆人众筹资金：

He says he has raised several hundred thousand pounds via online donati***, some of which were solicited via the Facebook donate button. Robinson has said he plans to use the money to launch a European version of the rightwing c***piracy website Infowars, and to sue the British government over his prison treatment.

But the tool is meant for charities alone. When the Guardian alerted Facebook to this, the social media company switched off the function within hours.

发动革命：社交媒体与埃及起义

阿拉伯之春经常被引用为一个事件，它让大型科技平台相信，它们将主要用于造福人类。但我还没有看到太多关于他们到底是如何促成这一事业的学术研究。普林斯顿大学的Killian Clarke和Korhan Koçak发表了一篇新论文，试图对这一想法进行严格的解释(他们还使用“动员”一词（学术界！）

Drawing on evidence from the 2011 Egyptian uprising, we dem***trate how the use of two social media platforms – Facebook and Twitter – contributed to a discrete mobilizational outcome: the staging of a successful first protest in a revolutionary cascade, or, what we call “first mover mobilization.” Specifically, we argue that these two platforms facilitated the staging of a large, nationwide, and seemingly leaderless protest on January 25, 2011, which signaled to hesitant but sympathetic Egyptians that a revolution might be in the making. Using qualitative and quantitative evidence, including interviews, social media data, and surveys, we ****yze three mechani**s that linked these platforms to the success of the January 25 protest: 1) protester recruitment, 2) protest planning and coordination, and 3) live updating about protest logistics. The paper not only contributes to debates about the role of the Internet in the Arab Spring and other recent waves of mobilization, but also dem***trates how scholarship on the Internet in politics might move toward making more discrete, empirically grounded causal claims.

Facebook 2018年回顾

Facebook发布了一份年终总结，“突出了世界各地的人们在Facebook上与他们的社区联系的最佳方式。”它遗漏了一些事情！

Lean-In的Sheryl Sandberg问题

哎哟，来自内莉·鲍尔斯：

Inside, surrounded by wall art reminding women to be bold, the Lean In staff has a singular message: Ms. Sandberg now has little to do with the group she founded.

“I don’t want to take anything away — how could I? — from Sheryl as the inspiration for the work that we do,” said Rachel Thomas, the president of LeanIn.org. “But the book came out six years ago. It’s become less and less about Sheryl with every passing year.”

ByteDance在为初创企业购物狂欢（美元）筹集14.5亿美元的谈判中

TikTok的**商张宇南和大泽裕郎报道，TikTok计划投资并收购一系列新应用程序：

In China, ByteDance is a media and content powerhouse that operates more than 10 apps, including two blockbusters—personalized news-feed app Jinri Toutiao and short-form video app Douyin. The new venture fund could help the company build new strategic alliances with startups, expanding its platform further beyond its own products. It could enable ByteDance to gain access to new technologies and content instead of relying entirely on its own teams to develop them.

ByteDance executives and investors have attributed the company’s success to its heavy emphasis on AI technology that connects users with personalized streams of articles and videos as well as ads. But as the company tries to attract more users and expand its platform globally, it needs to accumulate a broader range of content covering its users’ diverse interests. Investments in startups could play a role in such efforts.

软银聘请第一位**合伙人帮助管理1000亿美元的愿景基金

Kirthiga Reddy是Facebook在印度的第一名员工。现在她是第一位成为软银1000亿美元愿景基金合伙人的**。

Predictim声称其人工智能可以标记“有风险”的保姆。所以我在看我孩子的人身上试过。

Predictim因滥用Facebook和Twitter的API而与Facebook和Twitter发生纠纷，它试图向Brian Merchant解释为什么它认为他的保姆“有风险”（简短的回答似乎是：种族主义！）

My wife and my son’s grandmother, who, apart from the occasional incensed political post, have very clean profiles—they both work at universities, where they interact with research subjects and students, and are both white—got the ‘Lowest Risk’ ratings on each of the four categories. Kianah, a musician who babysits part-time, has never been anything but kind and respectful, and was enthusiastically referred to us by friends, was flagged as a “Moderate Risk” (3 out 5) for “Disrespectful Attitude” and a “Low risk” (2 out 5) for “Bullying / Haras**ent.

人们堆的石头太多了

该死的，人们：

The photograph in the Facebook post is pretty: piles of red rocks balanced at the edge of a cliff, suggesting a miniature mirror of the jagged rock face opposite. The stacks look like **all shrines to mountain solitude, carefully balanced at the edge of a precipice. But when Zion National Park posted the photo, in September, the social-media coördinators for the park included a plea: “Please, enjoy the park but leave rocks and all natural objects in place.” The post noted the “curious but destructive practice” of building **all stone towers, and said, “stacking up stones is simply vandali**.”

YouTube倒带隐藏了其社区最重要的时刻以安抚广告商

YouTube Rewind是一个关于YouTube上当年发布的最著名视频的年度视频。但今年，最著名的事情都被忽略了，朱莉娅·亚历山大报道：

Most creators would probably point to Logan Paul’s controversy surrounding his time in Japan’s Aokigahara forest, a multimillion-dollar boxing match between some of YouTube’s most prolific individuals, and the seemingly never-ending battle between PewDiePie and Bollywood production company T-Series. There were also multiple breakups between adored YouTubers, the rise of Johnny Johnny Yes Papa as a phenomenon, and Shane Dawson ruling the digital space by reimagining what YouTubers could create.

None of these moments appear in YouTube Rewind, the streaming service’s year-end wrap-up video, but that isn’t too surprising. YouTube Rewind is an annual look back at the trends, creators, and moments that YouTube executives and employees c***ider the most noteworthy. It’s a presentation of what makes YouTube unique, specifically designed to market its creators to advertisers in the hopes of securing large deals. The lack of these moments reiterates the divide between how the platform wants to be seen and the actual culture that creators participate in.

“下一个美国”

汤姆·弗里德曼（Tom Friedman）表示，监管大型科技平台应该是2020年总统竞选的中心议题：

Just one person — Mark Zuckerberg — controls Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. The fact that he has shown himself to be much more interested in scaling his platforms than combating those who abused them for political and economic gain — and that his lieutenants were ready to go after their high-profile critics, like George Soros — should make breaking up or regulating Facebook a front-and-center issue in 2020. But just the raw political weight of behemoths like Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple needs a closer look.

互联网变得越来越小，越来越无聊。图姆布勒万岁。

Cates Holderness庆祝Tumblr，并预测即使没有世界上最大的在线色情收藏，Tumblr也会很好：

The 2018 internet is dominated by three giant platforms — Twitter (Do you like Nazis and being harassed for having the audacity to exist? Have I got a site for for you!), Facebook (Your elementary school best friend is getting divorced and your uncle just learned to take selfies, enjoy!), and Instagram (Here’s what your friends were doing without you three days ago when everyone said they just wanted “a quiet night in,” buy this laxative tea while you weep about how lonely you are, then feel guilty for laughing at this meme that got reposted without attribution.). And the joke’s on you — you HAVE to be on all three of them! Happy 2018!!!

This internet feels **all, and it’s shrinking every day as its algorithms make everything feel increasingly the same. Amid all this, Tumblr has been a safe harbor of delightful, weird, and deeply human stuff, presented using the radical system known as reverse chronological order. This shouldn’t be rocket science, and yet here we are: Somehow, Tumblr is the only social media platform I use that just shows me the posts from people I follow, in order of when they were posted. The further I scroll, the older posts get. And that’s beautiful. Algorithms don’t try to anticipate what I want to see, and neither is my feed determined by the whims of a random group of people who can up- or downvote things into oblivion.

Facebook的新“最高**”可能会彻底改变在线言论

关于Facebook的最高**，我无法得到足够的推测性讨论，伊芙琳·杜克（Evelyn Douek）就围绕它如何运作的许多问题发表了一篇精彩的文章：

Though Zuckerberg appears to be seriously pursuing the idea, currently his conception of the independent body is more soundbite than substance. When he says that the SCOF will “ultimately make the final judgment call on what should be acceptable speech in a community that reflects the social norms and values of people all around the world,” he sets an impossible goal. There is no homogenous global community whose norms can be reflected in the decisi*** of a single body deciding contentious issues. But that doesn’t mean the proposed body cannot be an important development in online governance, creating a venue for appeal and redress, transparency and dialogue, and through which the idea of free speech in the online global community develops a greater substantive meaning than simply “whatever the platform says it is.”

How the independent body is set up will determine whether it furthers or hinders rights to freedom of expression and due process. There is a rich literature in comparative law showing that decisi*** of institutional design can have significant impacts not only on outcomes but the entire stability and legitimacy of a governance structure. These choices give substance to the idea that the body is “independent.” The question of how Facebook defines the body’s jurisdiction is particularly important. Presumably it will cover any take-down decision, but what about the decision to demote content and limit its distribution and engagement, a tool Facebook has said it is using to deal with more and more problematic content? These decisi*** are particularly opaque and controversial and have generated controversy. If the independent body cannot review these decisi*** as well, Facebook will be left with a large degree of control over what claims get ventilated and reviewed, and will be able to determine the ambit of the body’s promise of due process.

最后。。。

Tumblr宣布将从本月晚些时候开始禁止**内容，这开创了一个新的激动人心的游戏。在这个游戏中，博客作者试图确定Verizon所拥有的网络的确切界限。今天通过查佩尔·埃里森（Chappell Ellison）在推特上发布的调查结果表明，只有在猫头鹰戴帽子的陪伴下，**男人的胸部才是可以接受的。
