One of the most notable issues raised by the Oversight Board in its 12,000-word decision is that Facebook isn’t particularly good at consistently enforcing its own policies, especially when it comes to politicians and other influential figures. … > Facebook has already indicated that it’s unwilling to fully cooperate. In its decision, the board says that the company failed to answer several crucial questions, including several that speak to the very issues it raises in its policy recommendations.]]> facebook oversight_board management denial deception https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:e4a88450c915/ 2021-05-05T23:40:43+00:00 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/05/trump-facebook-oversight-board-verdict-alan-rusbridger?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other mcmorgan The key word is “indefinitely” – if only because Facebook’s own policies do not appear to permit it. The oversight board (OSB) judgment doesn’t mince its words: “In applying a vague, standardless penalty and then referring this case to the board to resolve, Facebook seeks to avoid its responsibilities. The board declines Facebook’s request and insists that Facebook apply and justify a defined penalty.” Ball squarely back in Facebook’s court. > What Facebook has to do now – in our judgment, which the company is bound to implement – is to re-examine the arbitrary penalty it imposed on 7 January. It should take account of the gravity of the violation and the prospect of future harm.]]> Facebook trump censorship human_rights freespeech https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:072b3001afc2/ 2021-03-10T15:34:17+00:00 https://medium.com/cybersecurity-for-democracy/far-right-news-sources-on-facebook-more-engaging-e04a01efae90 mcmorgan We found that politically extreme sources tend to generate more interactions from users. In particular, content from sources rated as far-right by independent news rating services consistently received the highest engagement per follower of any partisan group. Additionally, frequent purveyors of far-right misinformation had on average 65% more engagement per follower than other far-right pages. We found: > - Sources of news and information rated as far-right generate the highest average number of interactions per follower with their posts, followed by sources from the far-left, and then news sources closer to the center of the political spectrum. > - Looking at the far-right, misinformation sources far outperform non-misinformation sources. Far-right sources designated as spreaders of misinformation had an average of 426 interactions per thousand followers per week, while non-misinformation sources had an average of 259 weekly interactions per thousand followers. > - Engagement with posts from far-right and far-left news sources peaked around Election Day and again on January 6, the day of the certification of the electoral count and the U.S. Capitol riot. For posts from all other political leanings of news sources, the increase in engagement was much less intense. > - Center and left partisan categories incur a misinformation penalty, while right-leaning sources do not. Center sources of misinformation, for example, performed about 70% worse than their non-misinformation counterparts. (Note: center sources of misinformation tend to be sites presenting as health news that have no obvious ideological orientation.)]]> mis-information far_right far_left Facebook https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:9f28db86b5b2/ 2020-12-19T17:04:20+00:00 https://daringfireball.net/2020/12/facebook_free_as_in_bullshit mcmorgan Facebook’s argument is along the lines of arguing that the police shouldn’t crack down on burglaries because doing so might hurt pawn shops that have been thriving during a years-long crime spree. The information used for tracking belongs to the users whose behavior and interests is being tracked, not to Facebook and the companies, no matter how small and noble, who advertise with them. ]]> privacy tracking facebook https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:4b574a1985ce/ 2020-06-01T18:29:37+00:00 https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/04/how-facebooks-ad-technology-helps-trump-win/606403/ mcmorgan His campaign did so via pure, blunt constancy, using Facebook in exactly the way the tech giant intended: pouring heaps of money and data into Facebook’s automated advertising system. This is tech used as it was designed: to make pots of money by offering constant exposure. > A “Facebook ad” is less an ad and more a machine for producing ads. Instead of paying to put particular media in front of a specific audience, an advertiser now pays Facebook to deliver a selected outcome from a certain stripe of people. Trump’s interest in FB is the same as any other advertiser on FB. He’s in the FB ad-machine. His ads feed into the algorithm that targets viewers: and once your’e in, you can’t get out. This is a look at both how the FB ad machine works, and how trump’s campaign interacts with it. As in > People have marveled that Trump never stopped running Facebook-ad campaigns. And the reason is, he couldn’t. The whole point is that the campaign has to keep fresh data flowing through the system. Most of the time, it can optimize for the cost of acquisitions, hoovering up money and data from the Facebook users it targets. Then, at strategic moments, the team reverses the machine, spending whatever money is required to get the highest penetration and the widest reach among their people. It’s a matter of a campaign ceding control to the FB AI. On both ends. > Users—who are also citizens—similarly have no way out. _Letting Facebook do its thing_ has become a requirement for electoral politics, and democracy’s future is entwined with the results. The future’s so bright I gotta wear shades. ]]> AI trump rhetoric facebook algorithms https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:1e29ce588de5/ 2020-01-10T15:53:51+00:00 https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/09/a-closer-look-at-mark-zuckerberg-s-next-decade-manifesto/ mcmorgan New Forms of Governance > Zuckerberg reiterates that the existence of monolithic platforms with access to so many people and their private data creates new governance questions. And that it isn't right that private companies make "important decisions that touch on fundamental democratic values." One way to deal with this, he says, is through regulation, especially on issues with elections, harmful content, privacy and data portability. > And then, in the next paragraph, the kicker: "Another and perhaps even better way to address this is by establishing new ways for communities to govern themselves." This includes an independent oversight board which can hear appeals against Facebook's content decisions. This "independent board will have the final decision in whether something is allowed." On Monday, Bemidji voted 3-2 to not welcome refugees to Beltrami County.
