Emanuel Maiberg / VICE: Why The Guardian Censored Judith Butler on TERFs
Lily Wakefield / PinkNews: The Guardian accused of ‘censoring’ Judith Butler interview comparing TERFs to fascists: ‘Cowards’
Eoin Higgins / @eoinhiggins_: This, from Judith Butler, is entirely correct—but @guardian removed it after transphobic bigots complained. https://twitter.com/...
Jules Gleeson / The Guardian: Judith Butler: ‘We need to rethink the category of woman’
Juliana☿ / @socialrepro: Lots of DMs: Yes, they deleted a paragraph criticising gender critical feminism Yes this is confusing, and (I'm told) unprecedented Yes we asked for it reinstated (or as a last resort, republished) Yes I offered a rewrite to bring it up-to-date Yes I'm now going to bed
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: The Guardian's behavior in removing a passage from its interview with Judith Butler - where she links anti-trans feminists & fascists - is pathetic. Their excuse is worse. Even if the reporter's premise about the LA spa was false (it was), just note that: https://www.vice.com/...
Gita Jackson / @xoxogossipgita: “One last question for the editorial teams at The Guardian: why should ‘Gender Critics’ be beyond criticism?” https://www.vice.com/...
@pennypentan: *chants* Streisand effect Streisand effect 🤣 God they must be SO pissed that trying to hide it made it spread like wildfire https://twitter.com/...
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: The Guardian straight-up censored part of an interview with Judith Butler because she defended trans people and highlighted the connections between anti-trans activists and the far-right. Absolutely ridiculous. Can't imagine I'll ever publish anything there ever again.
@janusrose: imagine hating trans people so much that you'll censor Judith fucking Butler https://twitter.com/...
Emanuel Maiberg / @emanuelmaiberg: I updated the article with comment from the guardian and have followed up to ask again why the note at the bottom did not provide more info and why the guardian did not take up Gleeson's suggestions for several ways the story could keep Butler's comments https://www.vice.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Alex Paknadel / @alexpaknadel: I try not to dunk on the Guardian because it's one of the few British newspapers that isn't trying to get Der Stürmer to hold its beer, but this is worrying and inexplicable. Those were Professor Butler's words and they should be printed. The end. https://eoinhiggins.substack.com/ ...
@natachakennedy: (Long) THREAD: The big story of today is the @guardian's censorship of Prof Judith Butler. It is a story that UK mainstream media will try to smother. So please use social media So to start with this is the section that the Guardian removed; Please share this widely... 1/22
Ps-Jon / @sinangag_engels: Lol the guardian omitted quite a substantial amount from this interview because Judith Butler thought to dunk on TERFs for 3 paragraphs. Why are guardian editors pandering to TERFs? https://twitter.com/...
Ash Sarkar / @ayocaesar: This is wildly unethical. https://twitter.com/...
@emme_lund: the 3 paragraphs that The Guardian removed from the Judith Butler interview are the most important part of the whole piece. https://twitter.com/...
Eoin Higgins / @eoinhiggins_: Readers complained (as we saw yesterday before the section was removed) and Guardian UK editors used Wi Spa as an excuse to pull it. Nothing in the question, which focused on violent far-right anti-trans protesters at Wi Spa as a frame, was inaccurate. https://eoinhiggins.substack.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Olivia Solon / @oliviasolon: Notes about corrections or amendments are supposed to explain changes clearly to the reader. What on earth does this mean? https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Eoin Higgins / @eoinhiggins_: Plot thickens—apparently the Butler interview was meant to launch a series called Gender Now. But UK editors have pulled the entire project and the link now goes to a blank page. https://twitter.com/...
Tristan Gray / @tristangrayedi: @oldnorthroad @guardian Via a pal - Looks like there was a coordinated letter-writing campaign from transphobes to ensure it was pulled The Guardian caved to them in record time https://twitter.com/...
Eoin Higgins / @eoinhiggins_: The Guardian pulls Judith Butler's comments on the anti-trans “gender critical” movement's growing affinity for the far right. https://eoinhiggins.substack.com/ ...
Moya Lothian-Mclean / @mlothianmclean: The Guardian editing an interview with Judith Butler to remove the part where they criticise terfs as fascists... but yes, it is the transphobes being silenced. https://twitter.com/...
Juno Dawson / @junodawson: For those asking, I see no harm in sharing it as it's everywhere else. This is Judith Butler speaking to the Guardian before being edited. https://twitter.com/...
Eoin Higgins / @eoinhiggins_: This is actual cancel culture. When people critique the NYT for having a bigot review another bigot's book is not cancel culture.
Amelia Horgan / @ameliahorgan: the idea of “capture” of the press by those supportive of trans right and the silencing of “gender critical” voices is revealed as a myth by the fact that critical comments on their movement by leading academics can be removed from articles just like that
Eoin Higgins / @eoinhiggins_: Butler termed trans-exclusionary ideology as “one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times.” https://eoinhiggins.substack.com/ ...
Juliana☿ / @socialrepro: A new public Patreon post from me, to store the deleted Judith Butler answer in a more stable place than Twitter. Also includes my questions (original and revised). https://www.patreon.com/...
Roz Kaveney / @rozkaveney: In a truly shocking moment of bigoted dishonesty, the Guardian has censored Judith Butler. https://twitter.com/...
Ill Will / @illwilleditions: Shortly after its publication, The Guardian redacted Jules Gleeson's interview with Judith Butler, omitting sections directed at the antifascist implications of the philosopher's work. Here you'll find the original, unabridged version. https://illwill.com/...
Juliana☿ / @socialrepro: (To be 100% clear: my proposed question rewrite was written and sent to them before the deletion. Goodnight!)
Suzy Exposito / @hexpositive: The @guardian removed this portion of Judith Butler's interview after publishing with the note, “This article was edited on 7 September 2021 to reflect developments which occurred after the interview took place.” What developments? Why interview Butler at all? https://twitter.com/...
Olivia Solon / @oliviasolon: Given the Guardian's track record on trans issues one would hope changes to articles like this would be made with more transparency and accountability
Andy Campbell / @andybcampbell: The Guardian US site has some of the best extremism reporters in the biz, and as far as I know they never have to pull punches against bigots, even when bigots complain. It's legitimately baffling to see what happens to journalists and their work when people complain in the UK. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Harris-Roxas / @ben_hr: The Guardian UK's pandering to “gender critical” anti-Trans actvists continues to be gross https://eoinhiggins.substack.com/ ... The Aus and US outlets seem so different, I really think there's something deeply wrong with the UK shop
Tom Whyman / @healthuntodeath: @owenhatherley Moreover, it is stated as the personal view of a subject the paper is interviewing. No one wld mistake this view for the editorial line of the paper. Not sure why they thought censoring would do anything other than cause the deleted section to go viral (maybe that was the point?)

Mike Cherney / Wall Street Journal: Australia's Top Court Finds Media Companies Liable for Other People's Facebook Comments
David Mack / @davidmackau: big yikes. australia's top court rules media companies are responsible for third party comments on their FB pages https://www.abc.net.au/...
Mark Lemley / @marklemley: Australia joins the list of countries adopting the mind-bogglingly dumb rule that you are responsible for whatever people write in the comments section of your page. Feel free to express your thoughts about this below. Unless you're from Australia . . . https://www.wsj.com/...
Aaron Ross Powell / @arossp: Even if every adult and child in Australia is an active Facebook user, that's only 0.8% of Facebook's total active users. So Facebook should respond to this by just blocking all of Australia from its service and let the government deal with the backlash. https://www.wsj.com/...
Jane Coaston / @janecoaston: I'm sure the ramifications of this won't be horrifying. https://www.wsj.com/...
Dr Jennifer Beckett / @jenniferbeckett: Does this require more buy-in and development of tools by platforms? Yes, and we've been asking for that for a. Very. Long. Time. Does it require some soul searching by news orgs about framing and how they cultivate their reader culture? 💯 5/
@ronnisalt: Not sure people realise the ramifications of this. This is a shocking decision and will have far reaching outcomes for every Australian who uses social media. It's appalling. https://www.abc.net.au/...
Jason Wilson / @jason_a_w: Also: the absolute state of defamation law in Australia
Michaela Whitbourn / Sydney Morning Herald: Media outlets lose High Court appeal over Facebook defamation ruling
@jpwarren: The explanation of “intention” in this judgement is good. They way #defo law works, especially online, is not at all like how people imagine it works. https://twitter.com/...
@jpwarren: I'm already seeing some over-broad interpretations of the judgement, but this write up is pretty good: https://www.abc.net.au/...
Matthew Nurse / @matt_nurse: This has huge implications for monitoring the spread of misinformation via comments on social media pages. https://www.abc.net.au/...
Dr Jennifer Beckett / @jenniferbeckett: What it means is more nuanced moderation practices and a need to build better comment cultures. This starts with considering how the way a story is framed models certain ways of thinking that lead to unwanted behaviours 2/
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: OMG. Early wake-up call for @kosseff, @daphne, @mmasnick. There's a 230 Bat Signal from Australia.

Jack Norton / @jacknorton8064: @elisethoma5 Weirdly for a while when I was at sky we did have active comment moderation but the burden was just too big on the few producers we had
Jason Wilson / @jason_a_w: You could turn of comments but I presume that would defeat the purpose of media orgs having Facebook pages
Matt Novak / Gizmodo: Facebook Users Liable for All Comments Under Their Posts, According to Australia High Court
Thomas Welch / @welcht21: @jpwarren I have to admit I'm very confused by the whole thing. I don't see how the court has ruled the media company liable but not FB or anyone else in the chain? Just because the plantiff didn't seek damages from them? Or is there a legal reason that protects them?

Paul Karp / The Guardian: High court rules Australian media companies can be liable for defamatory comments posted on Facebook pages
Dr Jennifer Beckett / @jenniferbeckett: Are there problems in the original ruling that are largely because of scale and the moderation tools available for social media - yes. Does this mean the end for comments for news - no. 1/ https://www.abc.net.au/...
Kaetrin / @kaetrin67: Ping @openargs I'll link to the full decision next. This is big and basically the opposite of the USA S230 if I have the right of it. Even though the loser in this case is the Murdoch press (no tears for them) the broader implications are .... wow. https://twitter.com/...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: WTH from down under. I'm going to call it a night and pretend I didn't see this until tomorrow morning. I do hope to then wake up knowing it was just a bad dream that media companies are the ones responsible for toxic sludge on their Facebook pages. https://twitter.com/...
@jpwarren: @welcht21 The court can only address the case that is before them. FB is not a party to this case, and the case to answer was “are the news orgs publishers in the #defo sense?” and the court agreed that, yes, they are.
@jpwarren: The confusion is totally understandable, and it'll be really interesting to see if the law gets changed to match what people think it should be, or if people's understanding is altered to match what the law says.

[Thread] Media's most important public health failure isn't the false Rolling Stone ivermectin overdose story but the vax denial led by Fox News and others — The ivermectin story is being framed as the apocalypse of institutional media, but it's more like a glaring reminder of a few oldish truths 1) Journalism was always a mix of great, good, mediocre, and shitty work.

Discussion:
Robby Soave / Reason: The Media Fell for a Viral Hoax About Ivermectin Overdoses Straining Rural Hospitals
Derek Thompson / @dkthomp: 3) The most important public health story by far, isn't MSNBC's (etc) big ivermectin fail but the vax denial led by a mix of institutional (Fox) and independent voices. It's kinda galling to see so many smart ppl miss the forest of vaccine denial for the tree of ivermectin b.s.
Mike Masnick / Techdirt: The Role Of Confirmation Bias In Spreading Misinformation
Daniel Dale / @ddale8: As far as I can tell so far, what happened is the doctor gave an interview to a local outlet in which he cited ivermectin use as one reason some hospitals are congested. The outlet then framed ivermectin use as the main cause of the congestion, which it obviously isn't. 2/
Karl Bode / @karlbode: from the guy who wrote that “big disinfo” story to Glem Greenwa|d, people jumped on that Rolling Stone screw up as conformation of their priors, but nobody offered solutions for the real problem: an ad-based media that underpays its employees and doesn't reward thoughtfulness
Karl Bode / @karlbode: I mean it was just the kind of rushed lazy aggregation screw ups the ad-based press thrives on, and it's weird this one story was singled out to make whatever point (right or wrong) one was belaboring at the moment https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Kleinhans / @mattkleinhans: @DKThomp It can be both: 1. Lies and misinformation (anti-vax and others) from cons. media, and 2. Institutional failures like this one that provide cover for the lies and misinfo. A whole lot of truth massaging going on leads to massive distrust over and over again
Nish Faria / @nishfaria: @DKThomp Huh, nuanced thoughtful opinions are alive on Twitter.... What's going on?
Derek Thompson / @dkthomp: 2) There really is an epidemic of “team-picking” in institutional (and independent!) media. Subscription competition will make it worse—or better, if you like teams. It's the 19th century, again, in news media, but this time, with an internet connection.
Mathew Ingram / Columbia Journalism Review: How a story about ivermectin and hospital beds went wrong
Karl Bode / @karlbode: that Rolling Stone ivermectin cock up happens probably a hundred times a day (lazy aggregation without clarifying/confirming source allegations), but it was interesting to watch the cock up get quickly weaponized by folks who don't care about the 99 other times it occurs https://twitter.com/...
Schooley / @rschooley: The thing about the vaccine fear monger media jumping all over that one ivermectin story is in their giddy delight at slamming Maddow, they're pretending that all the other stories about runs on feed stores and people saying they're taking it on Facebook don't exist. https://twitter.com/...
Schooley / @rschooley: The story isn't so much that people are being poisoned by the horse paste as is they're looking for any remedy to avoid taking the one preventative that's actually been shown to work. They're dying of covid, not vet med diarrhea.
Derek Thompson / @dkthomp: If you've found yourself tweeting nonstop about Maddow's (etc) bad tweet and haven't really chimed in re: the nonstop stream of anti-vax bullshit emanating from FNC primetime, I think you should ask yourself why you find the first story so much more compelling than the second.
Karl Bode / @karlbode: what if the real problem is that ad-impression-based journalism is inherently flawed leading to a disproportionate amount of lazy work that prioritizes hyperbole over substance. And what if, we, you know, actually talked about fixing that? https://www.cigionline.org/...
Cody Fenwick / @codytfenwick: He makes some good points here, but I think he misses one of the most obvious and most important: The false Ivermectin story made waves, but it was found to be false, the stories were corrected, and it was dropped. Fox News, etc., perpetuate lies long after they're debunked. https://twitter.com/...
Tim Karr / @timkarr: @KarlBode we have a few ideas
Derek Thompson / @dkthomp: We have to find a way to illuminate the problems of institutions without fetishing institution-phobia. But the emerging age of subscription media in an information abundant world privileges the skill of anti-institutional “ideological positioning.” This will be a problem.
Cody Fenwick / @codytfenwick: Outlets will always make mistakes, and the those mistakes sometimes have ideological/partisan valence. But what's most important to know about a media source is if it's self-correcting, or does it continue to push lies and false narratives regardless of the facts.
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: anyhow i think all the design incentives of these platforms and the way the news cycles work/burn so fast means that the real superpower is to be completely shameless and never admit any mistakes and eventually the bar will lower so much you can just be reckless all the time

Perry Bacon Jr / @perrybaconjr: Political journalism was Politico-ized for much of the 2010s, in my view. I looked at the pluses and minuses of this approach and the signs political journalism is shifting (slightly) in a better direction. With thoughts from @jayrosen_nyu and @nikkiusher https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
PumpkinVice / @deathcar72: This is a great opinion piece by Perry Bacon and I'm thrilled to see this sort of recognition and insight but I'm unclear why the onus was on a black man to offer an apology for the wretched excesses of the MSM these past 5 years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: Concise critique of what ails the political press by @PerryBaconJr: -bias for centrism & bipartisanship -racial diversity on staff -obsession with placating bad faith claims of liberal bias -covers politics like a sport https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Access journalism missed a self coup https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben LaBolt / @benlabolt: Smart piece: “So the press spent much of the Obama years acting as if the opposition to him was solely because he had a liberal policy ideas on issues such as health care — and not because Obama had become both the leader and a symbol of a multicultural America.” https://twitter.com/...
Dan Kennedy / Media Nation: What's wrong with Politico
Derek Willis / @derekwillis: This is an excellent piece. Very few really resisted the Politico-ization of coverage (I certainly didn't). https://twitter.com/...
Michele Norris / @michele_norris: Good read from @perrybaconjr Opinion | How the rise of Politico shifted political journalism off course - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: “For more than a decade, not only did Politico keep gaining strength, but the entire political media became more like Politico.” If you missed it, @perrybaconjr's new column is about how Politico's rise shifted political journalism off course. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Recommended.
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: By @perrybaconjr: How the rise of Politico shifted political journalism off course. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Fair warning: I am quoted in this column. But that is not why it's good and worth your time.
Adam Rogers / @jetjocko: Respectfully, as someone who covered presidential politics in the late 90s (though not well), Politico was not innovation but perfection. It's what everyone I knew was aiming toward. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Kennedy / @dankennedy_nu: What's wrong with @politico? Insider gossip at a time when democracy faces an existential threat. Let @perrybaconjr explain: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jeff Schogol / @jeffschogol: This is not fair. Trump banned Politico from his events during the 2016 campaign and the other major outlets did nothing in protest. If the Democrats are angry at Politico for reporting on the Afghans and Americans left behind, just say so, https://twitter.com/...
Tommy Vietor / @tvietor08: This piece by @perrybaconjr is spot on. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
John Harwood / @johnjharwood: new @perrybaconjr: “coverage of the 2016 campaign in particular was abysmal. “the focus on Clinton's emails stemmed from reflexive both sides-ism. “an obsession w/feuds among Trump's staffers reflected an insider-focused approach gone too far.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Elon Green / @elongreen: Brilliant piece about how Politico was a cancer that infected nearly entire profession. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Willis / @owillis: AKA most of the stuff @benyt left out when writing up the sale of his old employer in the NYT https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Astead / @asteadwesley: thxful for @perrybaconjr voice and clarity: “Looking back on Trump's four years, the defining quality of his administration was not how it changed as various staffers got hired or fired but how it didn't change.” https://twitter.com/...
Dan Pfeiffer / @danpfeiffer: One of the founders of Politico pitched it as “ESPN for Politics” which is all you need to know about what has happened to a lot of political journalism in the decade since https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jonathan Robinson / @jon_m_rob: So much analysis of “the decline” of news media focuses on supply, not demand. It says something that the news industry that folks idolize hasn't been strongly demanded by a financially stable portion of news consumers when it comes to written journalism https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Terri Gerstein / @terrigerstein: If, like me, you're not a DC insider, this opinion piece by @perrybaconjr explains how & why political coverage in recent years has deteriorated, w/ increased both-sides-ism & political gossip, less truth-telling & substance. Informative read. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@portiamcgonagal: “It was (and is) fine to have a publication focused on insider politics. But it was not ideal when The Post, the New York Times and many other major mainstream news outlets drifted toward this model — and when they did so was particularly problematic.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Connie Schultz / @connieschultz: .@perrybaconjr's mention of journalism in beginning of Iraq War sure summons memories. I opposed the war. So much hate from readers, & criticism from some journalists. One opinion writer called to tell me I was “dangerously naive.” Met him years later. He had “no memory” of this. https://twitter.com/...

WhatsApp data helped prosecutors build a case against whistleblower May Edwards that cited hundreds of “encrypted” messages between her and a BuzzFeed reporter — When Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a new “privacy-focused vision” for Facebook in March 2019, he cited the company's global messaging service, WhatsApp, as a model.

Brendan Nyhan / @brendannyhan: No easy answers in the content moderation world. Always read @alexstamos. https://twitter.com/...
Eva / @evacide: This ProPublica article about WhatsApp gives a lot of useful information about why content moderation at scale is so hard, but when it comes to encryption, it's a misleading mess. https://www.propublica.org/...
@rmac18: As a reporter, I find this bit particularly worrying. WhatsApp can turn on user tracking at its own discretion to cover its own interests, outside of any law enforcement request. Kind of underscores how much better it is to use Signal for reporting. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: @stevekovach As the article says like 20 paras in, if a user receives a message they think violates the rules, they can press the report button, which tells them it will submit the most recent messages from the chat for review.
Daniel Schuman / @danielschuman: If you're a journalist you should not be using WhatsApp. Encourage your sources to move to Signal. https://www.propublica.org/...
Thomas Claburn / The Register: Can WhatsApp moderators really read your encrypted texts? Yes ... if you forward them to the abuse dept

Charlotte Klein / Vanity Fair: Will Rupert Murdoch's Australia Climate Rebrand Reach America?
Kevin Rudd / @mrkrudd: I agree with Turnbull and @MichaelEMann on Murdoch's attempt to “greenwash” themselves in the lead up to the Glasgow climate conference. It's all politics.

Mike Carlton / @mikecarlton01: Paul Whittaker, the self important little cane toad who runs Sky News, rather crossly told the senate enquiry yesterday that YouTube was owned by a “Foreign entity.” It was gently pointed out to him that so is NewsCorpse. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Mike Carlton / @mikecarlton01: Sky News is commissioning a documentary on climate change. Guffaw. That's a bit like the Taliban starting a girls' school. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Kevin Rudd / @mrkrudd: Every time Murdoch feels cornered on an issue, they attempt to distract the debate by smearing those they disagree with. The facts? SkyNews has poisoned our democracy by lying about this pandemic, and real people are suffering because of it. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Stephen Jones MP / @stephenjonesmp: Severe whiplash and political disorientation in Coalition party room as the engine room of climate change denial come to a grinding halt. https://www.smh.com.au/...

Damien Cave / @damiencave: Is News Corp really going to change its tune and support action on climate change or is it just trading denial for delay? Lots of skepticism for a move that could nonetheless be both incremental and significant. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Francisco Taveira / @jftaveira1993: .@MichaelEMann: “They've turned to other tactics in their effort to maintain the fossil fuel status quo.
