When the UK Online Safety Act received royal assent last month, it may have felt like the end of a very long road for the legislation. That “end” would have been a mirage, writes @BritishTim, diving into Ofcom's massive set of consultation documents:

It's been a long and rocky road for the UK Online Safety Bill. But there is every reason to expect that next week will see the approval of the bill with no significant further changes, writes Tim Bernard (@BritishTim):

Following up on #trustcon23, I wrote about how a thriving trust and safety vendor ecosystem has emerged, despite difficult headwinds for the industry as a whole.

Here's an attempt to help bridge the divide between the different camps on AI risk (avoiding traps of saying ethics vs safety, short-term versus long, concrete versus hypothetical, or even bias & disinfo versus extinction)--or at least to help us see the other's perspective.🧵

@daphnehk @AlecMuffett @BritishTim How many of these bills would affect private messages sent using encryption?

Why is it so hard to keep track of all the online "child safety" bills/enacted laws from U.S. state legislatures? Because there are 144 (A HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR!!!) of them.
@BritishTim read and analyzed them all, so we don't have to.

@_alice_evans Maybe narratives of "one side good - other side bad" are just easier to internalize. Pretty standard (though not universal) in kids' stories, folk tales, myth, religion...

Where are people getting these notions?
It’s totally bonkers.
Even matrilineal groups in the American Southwest had slaves - as indicated by recent digs showing discarded bodies with cranial damage, likely used to pound maize & for sex.

Two things can both be true:
- European invaders killed, raped, pillaged, enslaved, and spread disease, causing millions of deaths and suffering.
- Prior to conquest, there were many wars, human sacrifices, enslavement and rape.

NEW REPORT: Are “white people” morally deviant? We asked over 3,000 Americans about the impact of European settlers (Part 1), racial minorities' ability to succeed in the U.S. (Part 2), and whether it's shameful to be white (Part 3). Here are our results for Part 1 🧵

For social movements, 3 lessons therefore stand out: (1) exclude self-serving posers with no genuine stake in the movement's goals; (2) uphold social norms conducive to knowledge acquisition; and (3) reward those who deliver outcomes, not those who merely display allegiance. 8/8
English
In effective social movements, their prestige economy rewards those who act in ways that promote the movement's goals. In dysfunctional social movements, internal status and goals are misaligned in ways that drive actions that are either pointless or counterproductive. 1/8
