How Fake Is Twitter’s User Data? – Epoch Times

8 Jun 2022 Michael A

Over the last several weeks, the perception has grown that Elon Musk will not be the emancipator of Twitter, freeing it finally from its mysterious algorithms that throttle, block, and ban perfectly wonderful accounts solely based on the political vendetta of employees and management. It’s said that he has cold feet, as if Elon’s demand for better data is purely a cover for emotional doubt. That’s simply not true. What he has intuited—that Twitter underreports the sheer fake accounts and bot armies that use its platform—could in fact become another scandal for our age.

6 Jun 2022 Michael A

The 4-minute excerpt in this post explains LGBTQ+ and Christian identity, from Carl Trueman’s book, The Rise and Triumph of The Modern Self. The following was excerpted from the book description: “Modern culture is obsessed with identity. Since the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision in 2015, sexual identity has dominated both public discourse and cultural trends—yet no historical phenomenon is its own cause. From Augustine to Marx, various views and perspectives have contributed to the modern understanding of the self. In this timely book, Carl Trueman analyzes the development of the sexual revolution as a symptom—rather than the cause—of the human search for identity.” [This post contains a link to chapter 1 for those who wish to explore the book.]
