1. Are you referring to something specific that I'm not aware of?
2. Is this really the primary concern, in the grand scheme of things? In a utilitarian sense, a problematic or offensive choice of words is peanuts compared to (for instance) failing to sufficiently question the WMD narrative in the run-up to the Iraq War.
- busterarm 7y agoIt's been in the news for the last month. Admittedly I'm being a bit snarky here, but the NYT is firing a shot saying we need a platform that's administered responsibly (which we do) when they've proved they can't even use the ones we have responsibly. Between the linked stories and the whole Sarah Jeong thing, the NYT doesn't have the gravitas to come out and ask for this right now. The Gray Lady is failing its mission (for more reasons than just this). https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-york-times-tightens-up-on-social-media-after-scandals-people-are-locking-down-their-accounts https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-york-times-tightens-up-on-... https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/339852/tweets-come-back-to-haunt-new-york-times-cnn-jo.html https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/339852/tweets... https://nypost.com/2019/08/22/new-york-times-political-editor-in-hot-water-over-insensitive-tweets/ https://nypost.com/2019/08/22/new-york-times-political-edito...
