What crowdfunding platform would proudly host the Proud Boys? How far does ‘free speech’ extend in allowing divisive causes? Are platforms risking complicity in catastrophic harm? @DrSABaker @DrMJWalsh and I explore this in our OA paper in @policyinternet doi.org/10.1002/poi3.369

How does GoFundMe frame their driving mission, and how has this shifted over time in response to knotty ethical dilemmas and reputational risks? Really enjoyed writing this piece for @HistPhil, based on an open-access paper in @journalofpm
How did @gofundme become the "giving layer of the internet"? And how did its own mission & strategies change along the way? @MattPWade explores the platform's growth & the challenges it has faced, based on a recent article.

A pleasure to be on @CBC's @cbctapestry on Sunday discussing @MrBeast's philanthropy, alongside @MattPWade and @tiffanyferg.
In a nutshell, I see his philanthropy as part of a long lineage of spectacular philanthropy, but it also offers something new.

Stanford's archive of tobacco advertising is such an incredible public resource. I often wish we had a similar repository for gambling advertising in Australia, crowdsourcing examples for the benefit of both urgent current research and future generations tobacco.stanford.edu/
