    1. Not sure if #digitalethics twitter is having its Elon Musk moment... I'll give Mr. Harris the benefit of the doubt in that he may be in a place right now where he is not tending to his well-being, but I feel I can also not leave these assertions uncommented. tristanharris/1138582368413896704

    Just a note on this one that Twitter's character limit per tweet is 280 and that the apology is 6 tweets in a thread - with no limit on tweets in a thread. Clearly there is no character limit if you are aiming for clarity. tristanharris/1138582369114288128

      After an insight like this a valid next step is to explain how we will strive to be better listeners. Or even how we will help to amplify the important voices of other people. tristanharris/1138582369730932736

        They haven't all been ignored. There are many social scientists working in tech. And in other cases pop-science versions of behavioural insights have been used to actively manipulate and coerce users and stakeholders - applying the bits that make money. tristanharris/1138582370473242624

          1. This is about caring about vulnerable people and involving them in the design process, not about applying a theoretical ethics framework onto them. 2. Demographics of engineers is part of the problem. Some engineers are obviously better at this. tristanharris/1138582371190468608

            3. These services are not built by engineers alone. There are often team members concerned with interviews, research and risk assessments. Lack of listening to these people may factor in. 4. "Most engineers I've met" is not a convincing data point. tristanharris/1138582371190468608

              The use of the word "real" here is disconcerting. And again: it's about involving people who already have the skills and motivation to understand human impact - by in turn involving those affected. In the end, this is a culture problem; skills do exist. tristanharris/1138582371827998720

                And when we keep failing with strategies like this, regulation and legislation will follow. tristanharris/1138582371827998720
