.@facebook's "political" ads tool continues to vet our stories inconsistently.

Last week, we successfully boosted one story about migrant kids being held at a Phoenix office building with no kitchen and only a few toilets ... 👇👇
The next day, Facebook rejected an ad that contained the *actual video of these kids walking into the facility.*
Meanwhile, Friday's ad has yet to show up in Facebook's ad archive: facebook.com/politicalconte…

1/ Before leaving office, @SecretaryZinke rejected scientists + bypassed Congress to build a “lifesaving road” on a pristine wildlife refuge.

Our reporting suggests the real purpose is transporting seafood – and helping the world’s biggest fish processor. revealnews.org/article/trumps…
2/ For six decades, the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, tucked along the coast of the Bering Sea in Alaska, has been protected as one of the wildest nature spots on Earth, remote enough to escape development.
3/ That began to change about a year ago, when Zinke signed a land swap that aimed to create better access between the cannery town of King Cove and a nearby airport.

Part of the deal was building 12 miles of road.

1/ In this week’s episode: Officials from @NatlParkService heaped pressure on scientist @Dr_Caffrey to get her to remove all mentions of manmade climate change from a trailblazing scientific report.

It’s part of a larger pattern. revealnews.org/episodes/silen…
2/ Maria Caffrey, a University of Colorado researcher under contract with the @NatlParkService, spent years calculating how much flooding 118 national parks should expect from sea level rise and storm surge.
3/ But after @realdonaldTrump took office, the release of Caffrey’s research was stalled. Officials began trying to censor it.

We reported that first, in April 2018: revealnews.org/article/wipeou…

1/ Tech cos @Oracle, @PalantirTech & others gave some weak excuses for trying to keep their diversity numbers secret.

They said:

*Other companies would steal their workers.

*It would invade employee privacy.

*And the kicker: They'd face bad PR. revealnews.org/article/oracle…
2/ We challenged those excuses, suing the government. We won.

Now, government contractors can't hide their EEO-1 reports, which show their workforce broken down by race, gender and broad job category.
3/ It also means we can see the wild arguments they have made for hiding their numbers.

Buckle up.

#Facebook SUPPRESSED A STORY About #BrettKavanaugh’s Opposition to Roe v. Wade. We’re Republishing It

#Kavanaugh said he would kill Roe v. Wade last week and almost no one noticed

#MOG
#MAGA theintercept.com/2018/09/14/fac…
#Kavanaugh needs to give #SusanCollins (R-ME) PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY regarding his anti-abortion views.

#Collins, who is nominally pro-choice, said shortly before Kavanaugh’s nomination that a Supreme Court nominee “who would overturn ROE v. WADE would not be acceptable

#MOG
#Kavanaugh’s views on abortion weren’t exactly a state secret

He gave a speech to a think tank in 2017 praising #Rehnquist’s dissent in ROE v WADE, and he wrote an opinion arguing that the administration could temporarily imprison undocumented women seeking an abortion

#Facebook thread:
Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

What a year - and a monumental, round the clock effort - it has been to stay on top of Trump and his administration.

If you've wondered how it began or why I do this, here is the back story.

Thanks for your continued support! gofundme.com/VolunteerJourn…
This Facebook algorithm update to ostensibly "improve the experience" is also a kill shot aimed at independent news orgs and citizen journalists. Facebook will prioritize content that isn't political under the guise of curbing fake news. theguardian.com/technology/201…
Zuckerberg used the media to build a booming customer base and now is extorting more $$ from media orgs for more exposure on Facebook. Lazy/petrified/well-heeled orgs will shell out to maintain their addiction to Facebook. Independent/low budget media orgs/journos get screwed.
