BellingenNSW<p>"The blogosphere <br>could be a modern realisation of Jürgen Habermas’s idea of “the public sphere” because it was open to all, everything was discussable and social rank didn’t determine who was allowed to speak. But..the speed and comprehensiveness that tech corporations such as Google and Facebook would enclose that public sphere with their own walled gardens in which “free speech” could be algorithmically curated while the speakers were intensively surveilled and their data mined for advertising purposes."<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/05/the-blogosphere-is-in-full-bloom-the-rest-of-the-internet-has-wilted-dave-winer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2024/oct/05/the-blogosphere-is-in-full-bloom-the-rest-of-the-internet-has-wilted-dave-winer</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/blogosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blogosphere</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WalledGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WalledGarden</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fiefdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiefdom</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PublicSphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicSphere</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Agora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agora</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CounterPublics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CounterPublics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SocietalDebates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocietalDebates</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Commons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Commons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>
