Internet platforms are not neutral infrastructure: they are editorial institutions at scale, making consequential decisions about what speech is permitted, amplified, or removed, with effects that touch every corner of public life. This domain covers the exercise of platform power: the tensions between consistency and context in content moderation, the cultural assumptions encoded in global rules, and what it means for private companies to govern public discourse. ## Concepts - [[Content Moderation]]: the practice and politics of deciding what platforms permit, and why no version of it is neutral - [[Platform Power]]: the structural authority platforms exercise over speech, and the gap between how they describe it and what it actually is - [[Norm Conflict]]: what happens when a single rule collides with two legitimate but incompatible values - [[Photojournalism]]: the ethics of documenting difficult truths, and why platforms’ content rules keep breaking on war photography - [[Richard Nixon]]: the political reflex to discredit inconvenient images, which predates social media by fifty years ## Cross-domain connectors - [[Photojournalism]]: the documentary tradition and its ethics will eventually belong in a Journalism domain as that area of reading grows - [[Richard Nixon]]: a political figure who will likely also sit in a Politics domain once that reading develops
