Learning for Twitter and Jack Dorsey says Union minister after social media site suffers setback in India

[ad_1] It was nothing short of a big setback for former Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey in India. The court has had the final say in a matter that arose after Twitter failed to take down various accounts on the orders issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The Karnataka High Court, on Friday, rejected the petition filed by the social media giant. In a significant ruling, the single-judge bench of Justice Krishna S Dixit delivered the judgment. Alongside the decision, the judge imposed a substantial penalty of Rs. 50 lakh on Twitter, payable to the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority within 45 days. While giving the order, Justice Krishna S Dixit said, “The statutory committee comprises high functionaries of the government and there is no allegation...

Dystopian! This Apple product has former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey worried

[ad_1] Apple Vision Pro has been the talk of the world since Apple unveiled it at WWDC 2023. And why shouldn't it? It is something out of a science fiction film like Ready Player One. Several tech moguls such as Twitter owner Elon Musk and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have given their opinions on Apple's first AR/VR headset, and while the Vision Pro has got Pichai excited about the future of technology, it has left former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey concerned about its impact on humanity.Apple Vision Pro - Mark of a dystopian future?During an interview with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti on the Breaking Points podcast, Dorsey expressed his concerns about the AR/VR headset, likening it to WALL-E, a dystopian future film by Pixar where humans have left Earth, straddled on a mobile chair with thei...

Twitter to Facebook, social media does more harm than good to society and AI will add to the problem

[ad_1] Social media portals like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram have been doing more harm than good to all societies. There is too much misinformation, rumor-mongering, and influencing that goes on due to their increasing use.While social media empowered people in an unprecedented manner creating influencers, and a space for people to express opinions freely to attract the attention of those in power on various issues, it has also created an atmosphere of confusion between truth/reality and fiction/falsity. In particular, political misinformation, fear-mongering, and hero worship have been some of the harmful effects of social media. The Harm in Shutting Down TwitterHaving said that, I am not sure shutting down a social media platform is a solution, because if you do shut down, or try ...

Bluesky, championed by Jack Dorsey, was supposed to be Twitter 2.0. Can it succeed?

[ad_1] Bluesky, the internet's hottest members-only spot at the moment, feels a bit like an exclusive club, populated by some Very Online folks, popular Twitter characters, and fed up ex-users of the Elon Musk-owned platform.Musk is not on it — and this might be part of the appeal for those longing for the way things were before the Tesla billionaire bought Twitter and upended nearly everything about the social network, from rules against harassment to content moderation to its system for verifying prominent users' identities. It also helps that Bluesky grew out of Twitter — a pet project of former CEO Jack Dorsey, who still sits on its board of directors. “It was designed to replace Twitter,” said Sol Messing, who worked at Twitter as a data scientist until January and is now associate...

Big boost for users, Bluesky Social open-sources codebase

[ad_1] Bluesky Social, a popular beta social network, has taken a significant step towards open-source development on May 15th that will benefit users immensely. The codebase for its Bluesky Social app was made available on GitHub. This aligns with the network's goal of being "open and decentralised." Unlike Twitter, which struggles with open-source issues, Bluesky's client code is open to anyone for improvement or as a foundation for their own social networks. In contrast, Twitter's recommendation code is essentially unusable. Bluesky offers its client code to anyone interested in enhancing it or utilising it as the foundation for their own social network. The code for Bluesky, which is licensed under the MIT License, is available for use now. In just 24 hours, it has already been for...
