The Politics of Social Media Research: We Shouldn’t Let Meta Spin the Studies It Sponsors | TechPolicy.Presswww.techpolicy.press Meta would like to disarm its critics, but Justin Hendrix and Paul Barrett argue that would be unwise.

Fun fact: Meta bought German Professor Christoph Lütge and an institute for the ethics of AI in 2019. But CL used to be some kind of meta researcher in the early 2000s: He wrote pretty cool stuff on the economics of knowledge and formalized resource allocation problems in science.

Oh that's fascinating. I wonder what other major centers/institutes are built on Meta money.
