Paris Marx is joined by Moira Weigel to discuss the third-party sellers who supply many of the goods sold through Amazon, how the company's policy decisions reshape small businesses to act like mini-Amazons, and what that means for regulatory responses.Moira Weigel is an Assistant Professor at Northeastern University, a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard Law School, and a founding editor of Logic Magazine.

Money on the Left is joined by Ben Tarnoff—tech worker, writer, and cofounder of Logic Magazine—about his book Internet for the People: The Fight for Our Digital Future (Verso Books, 2022). In his book, Tarnoff provides a comprehensive history and a critical topology of this thing we have come to know, love, hate, swear off, get on, and grow bored of: the Internet. Throughout our conversation, Tarnoff displaces the haphazard history of the Internet that circulates often-unquestioned in our foggy collective memories, helping us to see more clearly how the Internet came to be “so broken.” Tarnoff refuses to accept privatization or the profit motive as given or inevitable. Instead, he evaluates the history of privatization and profiteering from the perspective of public provisioning. He does so, moreover, in order to advocate for heterogeneous public alternatives and cooperative futures. Ultimately, Tarnoff fashions a vision for the future of the Internet as a de-privatized, public space for collective flourishing, which is to say, an “Internet for the People.”Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

These days, dissatisfaction with the internet is widespread, driven by an array of concerns from rampant hate speech to ubiquitous tracking and data harvesting. So far, most of the solutions that have been put forward involve either new regulations or schemes to break up internet monopolies, but writer Ben Tarnoff says that none of those fixes get at what is in his view the actual root of the problem: that is, that the internet that we have today is made for businesses and not people.  On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we discuss his new book, "Internet for the People: The Fight for our Digital Future," which lays out his case for taking the internet out of the hands of private enterprise and creating instead an internet that's run by public institutions.  Guest: Ben Tarnoff, co-founder, Logic Magazine | author, "Internet for the People: The Fight for our Digital Future"  Host: Keith Menconi 

 Ben Tarnoff, a tech writer and co-founder of Logic Magazine joins Douglas Lain to discuss Tarnoff's book "Internet for the People."  From the back of the book:  "In Internet for the People, leading tech writer Ben Tarnoff offers an answer. The internet is broken, he argues, because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Google annihilates your privacy and Facebook amplifies right-wing propaganda because it is profitable to do so. But the internet wasn't always like this—it had to be remade for the purposes of profit maximization, through a years-long process of privatization that turned a small research network into a powerhouse of global capitalism. Tarnoff tells the story of the privatization that made the modern internet, and which set in motion the crises that consume it today."  Support Us on Patreonhttps://patreon.com/dietsoap 

Ben Tarnoff has a radical idea: unprivatize the Internet. The writer, Logic Magazine founder, and tech worker activist joins us to talk about his new book outlining what a truly public Internet would look like, from the fiber optic cables to the social media platforms platforms.

Paris Marx is joined by Ben Tarnoff to discuss why the problems with the modern internet, including its excessive concentration in the hands of a few companies and the way its dominant firms shape our interactions to generate profit, find their root in the decision to privatize the network.

We're joined by Ben Tarnoff—author of Internet for the People; co-founder of Logic Magazine—to do some historical materialism on the internet. Ben has a great new book coming out that traces the political economic development of the internet, from its origins as a military network to its privatization via wholesale handover to a telecom oligopoly to its existence today as an archipelago of shopping malls run by slumlords. We then discuss why there's an urgent need for democratizing and demarketizing the internet, what that could look like, and how the seeds of that radical change can already be found in existing projects. ••• Order Ben's book: https://www.versobooks.com/books/3927-internet-for-the-people ••• Follow Ben: https://twitter.com/bentarnoff ••• Read Logic Magazine: https://logicmag.io/ Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills Grab fresh new TMK gear: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

Join contributors to the special edition of Logic Magazine, Beacons, for a discussion on Transformative Justice and Knowledge Production in Tech Techno-capitalism is re-negotiating the social contract but knowledge about technologies is too often sequestered behind the lock doors of industry. Black women researchers like Dr. Timnit Gebru who raised alarm about the racial and ecological implications of emergent technologies are systematically silenced and forced out. Additionally, corporate capture of academic departments has even further limited the space to do critical research. Given these obstacles, how can researchers both inside and outside of tech companies do the difficult work of research, critique, and resistance? When individualist opportunism is the guiding norm of knowledge production, how do we cultivate a practice of transformative justice in the context of tech research? What are the set of tools and collective histories Black people in the Americas and the Black global diaspora can draw on in order to care for each other in the process of producing research about tech? Get the new issue of Logic Magazine, Beacons, here: https://logicmag.io Speakers: Dr. Safiya U.

She is the author of a best-selling book on racist and sexist algorithmic bias in commercial search engines, entitled Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism (NYU Press), which has been widely-reviewed in scholarly and popular publications. Timnit Gebru is the founder and executive director of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR). Prior to that she was fired by Google in December 2020 for raising issues of discrimination in the workplace, where she was serving as co-lead of the Ethical AI research team. She received her PhD from Stanford University, and did a postdoc at Microsoft Research, New York City in the FATE (Fairness Accountability Transparency and Ethics in AI) group, where she studied algorithmic bias and the ethical implications underlying projects aiming to gain insights from data. Timnit also co-founded Black in AI, a nonprofit that works to increase the presence, inclusion, visibility and health of Black people in the field of AI, and is on the board of AddisCoder, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching algorithms and computer programming to Ethiopian highschool students, free of charge.

Join contributors to the special edition of Logic Magazine, Beacons, for a discussion on Black freedom and technology. What would it mean to take the Black internet seriously? How do we call in Black studies scholars to imagining technologies of black freedoms in addition to grappling with the racial regimes wrought by artificial intelligence and machine learning models?

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of psychotherapists were forced to migrate their practice to teletherapy or secure video.  While many have embraced this new mode of practice and have even found enhancements to their delivery of therapy, others are eager to return to the office or adopt a hybrid model.  Dr. Hannah Zeavin, author of the The Distance Cure: A History Teletherapy, joins us for a conversation around the history of teletherapy as well as systems-level implications for the wide adoption of teletherapy. In this conversation we cover:     the biggest misconceptions that psychotherapists are likely to labouring under with respect to the history and deployment of teletherapya discussion of the reality of every therapeutic exchange - whether virtual, in the office or otherwise - being mediated in some respect and existing within a "frame"the evidence-base around teletherapy3rd party payers stance towards teletherapy and whether a distinction between in-office therapy and teletherapy remains relevantthe dysfunctional focus on "activities" vs "outcomes" in an insurance-driven mental health system and how teletherapy could unwittingly accentuate this dynamicconsideration of therapy-process related factors in the context of teletherapy (e.g., client seeing the clinician within their home environment & vice versa)implications of the the appification/commodification of mental health services via digital platformsthe dangers of "batch processing" and "gamification" in the provision of therapy within a commodified mental health systemthe potential for the digital distribution of services to create “winner takes all” outcomes and the danger of a cost leader further commodifying mental health via call-center models or similarPotential unintended consequences of national licensure around the commodification of mental health services Dr. Zeavin's thoughts on the questions clinicians and practices should be grappling with right now in the context of tele therapyHannah Zeavin is a Lecturer in the Departments of English and History at the University of California, Berkeley and is on the Executive Committee of the University of California at Berkeley Center for Science, Technology, Medicine, and Society and on the Executive Committee of the Berkeley Center for New Media. Additionally, she is a visiting fellow at the Columbia University Center for the Study of Social Difference. Dr. Zeavin's first book, The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy is now out from MIT Press, with a Foreword by John Durham Peters. She is at work on her second book, Mother's Little Helpers: Technology in the American Family (MIT Press, 2023).  Dr. Zeavin serves as an Editorial Associate for The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and is a co-founder of The STS Futures Initiative. Other work has appeared in or is forthcoming from American Imago, differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies, The Guardian, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Real Life Magazine, Slate, The Washington Post, Logic Magazine, and beyond.

Authors Richard Seymour and Wendy Liu discuss how our social-media generated addiction to writing is ruining our lives, and what we can do to escape its vicious cycles. ---------------------------------------------------- What is the Twittering Machine? An addiction-machine organized around the first ever mass, open-air, collective writing experiment. A microcelebrity-farm, where the only incentive to be there is to cultivate, and destroy, a personal idol. A furnace of meaning, wherein the mass of information stands in inverse proportion to truth. A volatile combination of the stock market, 24 hour news and Neighborhood Watch. This is the social industry. It thrives as it occupies every corner of our lives with compulsive, wage-free writing. It programs our social lives by algorithm and code, subordinating us to mercurial hierarchies of status and visibility, and to the grammar of capitalism. With each new tweetstorm, it brings us ever closer to the edge. Faced with such a novel, unprecedented power, we are entitled to ask the minimum utopian question: what else could we be doing, if not this? ---------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Richard Seymour is a writer and editor based in London. He is the author of The Twittering Machine and is a founding editor of Salvage. Wendy Liu is a tech commentator, software engineer and former startup founder who left the tech industry to pursue a masters degree in inequality from the London School of Economics. She is the author of Abolish Silicon Valley (Repeater Books) and has written for Logic Magazine, Tribune, and New Internationalist.

Disruption, innovation, entrepreneurial spirit – Silicon Valley is viewed by many as the cradle of technological development and progress in our world today. But, behind the luster of unlimited growth and unbounded ambition lies Capitalism's standard blend of exploitation and concentration of individual wealth at the expense of public good. ———————————————————— At a time when technology is seeping even deeper into our lives, how can we reclaim it for the many and not the few? Join authors, activists and radicals Rob Larson and Wendy Liu for a discussion on Big Tech's monopolistic power today, and how we can respond to it with a radical vision of digital socialism. Rob Larson is a professor of economics at Tacoma Community College and author of Bit Tyrants: The Political Economy of Silicon Valley, and Capitalism vs. Freedom. He writes for Jacobin, In These Times, Current Affairs and Dollars & Sense. Wendy Liu is a tech commentator, software engineer and former startup founder who left the tech industry to pursue a masters degree in inequality from the London School of Economics.

(TW/CW: This episode contains references to sexual abuse of adults and children. Please listen with caution and take care of yourself if it feels too heavy.) Our guest is Gustavo Turner, a writer and photographer, as well as news editor for XBIZ, an adult industry trade publication. In this episode, Gustavo helps us unpack the fallout from the mounting “warn on porn” over the last few weeks, starting with the New York Times op-ed which led to Pornhub losing its payment processing capabilities. Who's next on the list of porn sites to be attacked? We also discuss the wider issue of online content moderation, attacks on section 230, and social media censorship.

Most of our discussions about how “technology will change the world” focus on the global cities that drive the world economy. Even when we talk about China, we focus on its major cities: Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.  Xiaowei Wang corrects this metronormativity in their recent book Blockchain Chicken Farm: And Other Stories of Tech in China's Countryside (FSG Originals: 2020), which explores how rural China is not just adapting the technology used around the world, but innovating on it.   In this interview, we talk about the frontiers of technology that are being charted in rural China, and why China's countryside may be the best place to understand how technology, capitalism and society will intersect in the coming years — often in not altogether positive ways. We also talk about some of the more recent developments in how Chinese technology is treated in the United States, with reference to their recent articles: "WeChat Has Both Connected Families and Torn Them Apart" in Slate and "How the Theatrics of Banning TikTok Enables Repression at Home" in The Nation.

Property. What is to be done with it--specifically, the so-called platforms that Big Tech uses to surveil and exploit working people? We spoke with Ben Tarnoff, founder of Logic Magazine, about the subject which he explored in a recent blog post "Platforms Don't Exist." https://bentarnoff.substack.com/p/platforms-dont-exist We decided to play a fun game which you can play along with at home!

Recently, I had a beautiful and tragic Conversation with Dr. Darren Byler (Twitter: @Dtbyler) on Xinjiang and the Uyghur People. The beautiful part of our conversation is the first part, where Darren and I discuss our own experiences in Xinjiang and Yunnan, and Darren teaches us the history of Xinjiang and the complexities of Uyghur culture and faith. The tragic part of our conversation is the second half. Where Darren and I discuss how Chinese statecraft has shifted against the Ughyur people, from one of tolerance to one of "terror capitalism" and "cultural genocide". This genocide is abetted by panopticon surveillance technology throughout Xinjiang as well as historic bigotries such as Islamophobia and Settler Colonialism. At Asia Art Tours we have great fondness for China. It's where we got our start in Tourism, as well as where we first truly began exploring leftist politics (our founder's dad, like many activists in the 60s had a copy of Mao's little red book!) We offer tours throughout the country and constantly want travelers to have a more nuanced understanding of the country beyond the Great Wall or Pandas . We also desperately want political dialogue and Western lenses of China to move beyond Cold War fear-mongering. However, as much as we find great interest, beauty and intellect throughout China, we cannot ignore that (for the Global Left) it no longer appears to be offering a viable alternative to Western Oligarchic, Racist Statecraft. To paraphrase Yanis Varafakis, democracy (and the state) cannot be mere fig-leafs for oligarchy. . . neither can Communism. . . and what's happening in China to the Ughyur people... is not anything approaching the passionate, empathetic and humane future I want for the world as a Leftist. In fact the China State (and statecraft) would be the utter antithesis of the future I want. We hope you enjoy the chat and let us know what you think. The conversation connects to multiple threads we can see in the world, from The USA's "War on Terror" to Global Islamophobia, to the surveillance technology newly utilized from regions as diverse as Hong Kong, Israel, and of course the United States. • For more on Darren please check out his excellent Article in Logic Magazine.https://logicmag.io/china/ghost-world/ • As well as his vital homepage which compiles art, culture, essays and reporting on Xinjiang. https://livingotherwise.com (all photos and videos used are by Darren Byler, do not share or reuse without consent)

Has the internet truly brought autonomy to musicians?  The Internet has changed the way we make, share and listen to music.

But don’t worry, friends -- your reassembled gang of all original lads, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) are here to tell you why the Instagram Tories are bad and untrustworthy. This week, we’re joined in studio by James Vincent (@jjvincent), senior reporter for the Verge, on the topic of hellish developments in automation. Imagine if Capital could make robots driven by drone operators in countries without a minimum wage? And imagine those robots were meant to act like butlers? You can read about it in James’s article here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/9/18538020/home-robot-butler-telepresence-ugo-mira-robotics Additionally, we reference an Astra Taylor article from Logic Magazine, which you can read here: https://logicmag.io/05-the-automation-charade/ If you like this show, sign up to the Patreon and get a second free episode each week!
