    Last month at a conference, someone came up to me and excitedly asked me what I thought about prediction markets. As a scholar of online violence, I explained that betting markets have long been associated with intimidation & threats, and that this has been a problem in sports for a long time. Expanding gambling expands intimidation too.

    And here we are.

      "The White House insists that its campaign is essential to stamp out bigotry and rebuild eroded public confidence in an academic system that conservatives say is tilted against them."

      If this administration were acting in good faith in any of their actions this would be an interesting point. Since they're not though I'll note once again that the NYT is supporting this regime by reporting these lies as if they were truth. Your credibility is gone NYT.

        @natematias 404 Media recently referred to this as "the Depravity Economy", and I can't think of a better label.
