I didn’t see links to techdirt around much until … all this.
They’ve been around since 1997, though.
They describe themselves as “a group blogging effort”, focusing on “insight into news stories about changes in government policy, technology and legal issues”.
And they have that down.
This morning, I had to scroll four screens down their front page to get to a post that wasn’t about some political topic.
Most of them are specifically about a place where the tech industry intersects with politics, but not all; the two tabs I had open on my phone already to make sure I included them here, were:
- Everyone Cheering The Social Media Addiction Verdicts Against Meta Should Understand What They’re Actually Cheering For
- America’s Diminished Place In The World And The Consequences Of Not Impeaching
These are a good example of their content; they know what they’re talking about, explain where necessary and are on the right side on things most of time.
So pay attention to techdirt.
Unless you’re a journalist yourself or directly involved in the tech industry, you may not want to follow that feed; it’s likely more detailed coverage than you’ll want.
But you should definitely follow links to them when you encounter them in the wild; they’re worth it.
