What it does
Platformer is Casey Newton's English-language publication about AI, social platforms and the people shaping technology. Its official site provides current reporting, analysis and an email subscription.
The dated archive makes it straightforward to follow a platform-policy story over time. Some articles are marked Paid, so the public material provides a sample rather than the entire publication. At least one free edition appears each week and paid subscribers receive at least one additional update, plus a Sidechannel Discord invitation. Platformer Pod offers a separate listening route.
Watch out for
- Some material is reserved for paying subscribers; public previews or articles provide only part of the publication.
Best for
- Readers following platform decisions and technology companies
