"The Atlantic will be the organ of no party or clique, but will honestly endeavor to be the exponent of what its conductors believe to be the American idea." —James Russell Lowell, November 1857 For more than 150 years, The Atlantic has shaped the national debate on politics, business, foreign affairs, and ... vedi altro Mostra tutti i dettagli

“Over the past several days, TikTok users have found themselves at a loss. Literally, I mean: They lost their audiences, and their view counts showed ‘0,’” Tiffany writes. For many, the explanation for the irregularities seemed obvious: “MAGA censorship.” The glitches appeared shortly after the platform’s U.S. business changed hands, spinning off from the Chinese company ByteDance into a new organization that counts among its investors Oracle, which was co-founded by Larry Ellison, a Donald Trump ally. The quirk was bizarre enough that California Governor Gavin Newsom said he would be launching a review “into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.”In an email to Tiffany, a spokesperson said that the app is being run as it was before, and that American users will “continue to have the same experience they already know and love.” The company has blamed the issues on a power outage at one of its data centers, which it said caused a “cascading” systems failure affecting all types of content.“Unsurprisingly, a lot of people are not totally buying the explanation,” Tiffany writes. Trump has joked that he would make the app’s algorithm “100 percent MAGA” if he could, and during a moment when Americans are looking to their phones for up-to-date and on-the-ground information on events happening in Minnesota and elsewhere, “any whisper of intervention or suppression is natural cause for concern.”We are now “in a counterintuitive and paradoxical stage of content moderation, where some spaces are more chaotic than ever and others are more restricted in highly specific ways,” Tiffany continues. But the debate over how much social media influences what users see “is unresolvable, because users have no objective way to assuage their own doubt or confirm their own fears.”🎨:

By the 1990s, Techwood Homes in downtown Atlanta—one of the first federal housing projects, completed in 1935—had fallen into disrepair. In 1993, Atlanta received one of the first grants awarded by the federal HOPE VI program, which “aimed to knock down the most decrepit public-housing projects in America and replace them with better housing,” Kahloon writes.Today, Techwood’s site is a mixed-income community with subsidized apartments alongside private, market-rate housing. “It was intentionally designed to reduce the isolation of the urban poor,” Kahloon continues—and “it’s succeeding.”A new, rigorous study of 200 HOPE VI sites, including Techwood, shows that the redevelopment significantly improved the lives of children. “The reasons reveal a crucial fact about economic opportunity,” Kahloon writes: “To have social mobility, you need social integration.
