Weekend reads

• Loved this outline of an anti-racist business strategy. Bottom line: it’s not enough to think your company isn’t racist; we have to build actively anti-racist businesses.

• Related: The data we use to build our tech platforms encodes systematic racism.

• Thinking of telling that little white lie? Dishonesty is a slippery slope, according to science.

• Lost in the news about Facebook regulation and the massive Airbnb IPO: Twitter joined Mozilla, Automattic, and Vimeo to make an appeal to EU regulators ahead of the implementation of the Digital Services Act. (PS, They want our help reigning in Big Tech.)

• When we were forced to work remotely, what did we do with our commuting time? Employees got a little personal time back; managers had more meetings.

• American consumers want Big Tech to act more ethically (but we also kinda like what they’re selling).

• Why are the polls not just wrong—but wrong consistently in the same direction?

• Felt this one: 72% of entrepreneurs are directly or indirectly impacted by mental health issues. Being a founder is hard.
