Sachant toute l'industrie de la désinformation scientifique par BigTobacco, BigOil ou BigSugar, il serait irrationnel de ne pas imaginer que la recherche sur les dangers des réseaux sociaux et des IA n'est pas aussi biaisée pro-rassurisme par BigTech.

2. At a September 5, 2018 Senate hearing, @Jack stated, “We’ve really strengthened our PARTNERSHIP with Government Agencies since 2016.”
Jack requests regular meetings with “Twitter’s Law Enforcement partnerships” & asks for a “single point of contact” with the Government

3. Twitter was not pressured at all. @jack went to Congress requesting more help expanding their already existing "partnerships" with Law Enforcement & Government.

2) Confidential emails obtained by Reason show that Facebook moderators were in constant contact with the CDC, and routinely asked government health officials to vet claims relating to the virus, mitigation efforts such as masks, and vaccines.
3) For a broader analysis of the federal government's pandemic-era efforts to suppress free speech see @robbysoave’s March 2023 cover story on the ramifications of these emails. This article provides screenshots of the emails themselves.

Does #Facebook mislead the public about proactive hate-speech removal? The answer is YES — Facebook removes only 5% of the hate on its platforms!
Not just that, but the #FacebookFiles reveal that their platforms are literally primed for virality that promotes #hatespeech. 3/9

@yaleisp @jackbalkin @persily @davidakaye @ZephyrTeachout @nikenberger @ZephyrTeachout raising the point that concentration of power in platforms is antithetical to ideals of a democracy. "We've never had gatekeepers at this scale." Complete vertical integration...
When asked if @Facebook has "gone off the rails", @davidakaye replies, "there have been no 'legal' rails!"
Since ~2016, it became apparent platforms have a dramatic effect on democracy. They are driven by a desire for growth & this is often in conflict w/ democratic goals.

Here is a quick primer for external folks who are seeking to make sense of FB's internal research leaks. There is a lot of context that's critical to grasp.🧵...
First recognize that researchers at FB are literally the best in the world at understanding complex issues at the interface of society and technology. They are of the highest character and typically have the most rigorous training. And they are in this to help, not for the $.
Given that integrity teams are organizationally siloed away from the rest of their product orgs, integrity researchers will focus on harms and not give the full picture of a platform's effects because that is literally their job-- and a critical role to play!

New #FacebookFiles: Cultivating under 13 over-sharers is seen internally as a pivotal strategy to sustain long-term social media market dominance.
Here’s #FacebookFiles revealing Zuckerberg’s flimsy empire. It takes some imagination to resist the company’s gaslighting that Facebook is and must forever be the world’s “social infrastructure” aka “Life Coach for Adulting” wsj.com/articles/faceb…

@CounteringCrime has been documenting #FB's "epic corporate governance breakdown" for years now -- including repeated cover-ups like this one that have harmed investors. We warned y'all back in 2020 to pull your money out of #FB. It's a HOT MESS. 2/

Company documents show antivaccine activists undermined Zuckerberg’s ambition to support vaccination by flooding the site and using Facebook’s own tools to sow doubt and misinformation. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
Company documents show antivaccine activists undermined Zuckerberg’s ambition to support vaccination by flooding the site and using Facebook’s own tools to sow doubt and misinformation. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
One internal memo said initial testing concluded that roughly 41% of comments on English-language vaccine-related posts risked discouraging vaccinations.
Even authoritative sources of vaccine information were becoming “cesspools of anti-vaccine comments.” wsj.com/articles/faceb…

The vaccine documents are part of a collection of internal communications reviewed by @WSJ that offer an unparalleled picture of how Facebook is acutely aware that the products and systems central to its business success routinely fail and cause harm.

My legal scholarship rarely coincides with a news cycle. So working on my latest revision of Platform-Enabled Crimes as the #FacebookFiles dropped has been surreal: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… @jeffhorowitz @amnestytech @keachhagey @lpolgreen Buckle up for a long thread (1/24)
Platform-Enabled Crimes: “Each day, across the globe, the corporations that run these platforms execute policies and practices that serve their profit model, typically by sustaining user engagement.”(2/24)
“Sometimes, these seemingly banal business activities enable principal perpetrators to commit crimes; yet online intermediaries are almost never held to account for their complicity in the resulting harms.” (3/24) @julie17usc @nicsuzor @Barrie_Sander @Nanjala1 @nattyray11
