Remember when Facebook downplayed paying to spy on people's data, saying only 5% of Fb Research users were teens? It quietly told Senator Warner 18% were teens 😳👎 techcrunch.com/2019/02/28/fac…
Facebook tried to discredit TechCrunch's FB Research investigation saying "All [teens had] signed parental consent forms.” Well actually, it admitted that it "did not require a signed parental consent form for teen users."
What a coincidence that Facebook never announced its response to Senator Warner that directly contradicted what it told a ton of reporters. Fb's reactionary PR is sketchy techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/fac…

This super fun new app Morphin just launched that lets you star in GIFs tcrn.ch/2HxAvnU
Morphin lets you (or Elon Musk) suit up like Iron Man, dance like Drake, or become a Fortnite character. I'm excited for how this will let the underrepresented see themselves in media.
Backed by Giphy-funder Betaworks, Morphin's tech would make a great addition to the big social platforms. -Josh, out.

Huge executive shakeup at Facebook:
-Chief Product Officer Chris Cox leaves
-VP Of WhatsAPp Chris Daniels leaves
-Head of Fb's app Will Cathcart takes over WhatsApp
-Fb Dir of Product Fidji Simo takes over Fb app
techcrunch.com/2019/03/14/chr…
@fidjissimo actually was promoted from Director to VP in the last few years to oversee news, video, and ads, but now will oversee all of Facebook's main app
Facebook's Cox writes that "we will need leaders who are excited to see the new direction through." Zuck writes that new WhatsApp head "Will [Cathcart] . . . believes deeply in providing end-to-end encryption". Is that what drove out Cox?

In case @hmkyale + @drjrums wonder why I got so shirty about JAMA article calling for #SDOH mining from social networks like, say, Facebook (shirty evidence here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1075892…) allow me to expound. #cyberwoke
First, ICYMI, Facebook's treachery against patient + #MeToo communities in wake of Cambridge Analytica cock-up reveal. PHI revealed in what members thought were walled gardens? NOPE. cnbc.com/2018/07/11/fac… #HBOC #cyberwoke
Then there was the #MeToo community - 10s of 1000s of members - that got its plug pulled when they complained: wired.com/story/how-a-me… #cyberwoke

#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/…

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
Whistleblower describes how firm linked to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon compiled user data to target American voters  theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.
