Survey results from the Partnership for Public Service showing The role of politics within the civil service. 90% of Americans Civil servants should serve the people more than any individual president.
Fun fact: Americans STRONGLY oppose politicization of the civil servants, with 90% believing "Civil servants should serve the people more than any individual president." This study* from the Partnership is excellent and expands on this point (*I started).

AI Companies Threaten Independent Social Media Research | TechPolicy.Press
UMass Amherst researchers argue that researcher access to social media data should be one of the rare things all political factions in the US can agree on.
Researchers Ryan McGrady, Ethan Zuckerman, and Kevin Zheng argue that if we want responsible policy about social media, it begins with making it possible for American researchers to answer fundamental questions about how social media is shaping our public discourse.

But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project.
"I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."
I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
