ACTIVISM × TECHNOLOGY
“When people try to change behavior, they often focus on telling people what they should do.
We often underestimate just how strongly we respond to what other people actually do.”
—Melanie Tannenbaum @melanietbaum
“…if people are able to declare support for a charity publicly in social media, it can actually make them less likely to donate to the cause later on.”
—Kirk Kristofferson @KJKristofferson
“…at the end of the day, we’re going to fight the good fight not only for our customers but for the country. We’re in this bizarre position where we’re defending the civil liberties of the country against the government. Who would have ever thought this would happen?”
—Tim Cook @tim_cook
#6 Aggressively suspend ISIS social-media accounts: Based on an analysis of tens of thousands of Twitter accounts, suspensions do limit the audience for ISIS’s gruesome propaganda. The current rate of suspensions is damaging the ISIS social-media machine. The practice should be maintained at the current rate at the very least — but it would be better to get more aggressive.
