Platformer
Reporting at the intersection of Silicon Valley and democracy.
About
Platformer is Casey Newton's reporting on the intersection of Silicon Valley and democracy, covering how major platforms (social networks, AI companies, app stores) shape politics, speech, and public life. Newton built his reputation covering the beat at The Verge before launching Platformer independently, and has broken real news on platform policy and internal company decisions.
Editions mix original reporting with sharp analysis of the week's platform-policy fights, often drawing on sources inside the companies being covered. It's aimed at readers who want accountability journalism on tech power specifically, rather than general startup or product news.
