Of all our ways of knowing perhaps the subjective is the most negatively
regarded by scientifically trained academics. Where the printed page might
be regarded as the platform of objectivity perhaps social media platforms
will come to be known for the affordances they provide subjective expression
and connectivity. I would hope the stewards of the list consider how both
subjective and objective styles of communication achieve the lists purpose.
Unlike print and the good-old-days of book burnings social media has less
dramtic censorship tools at its disposal. As after the fact as it may be,
we can choose as individuals to use the technology available to us to filter
unwanted content.
