In the last week, @facebook:

- Has said that 12 synchronized accounts posting the same thing at the same time DO NOT break their rules for artificial amplification.

- Has said anyone running for office can lie with impunity in their paid ads EXCEPT for one specific guy.
- Made Breitbart - the “platform for the alt-right” - a “trusted” news source despite a history of highly misleading news despite having the same ownership as Cambridge Analytica, that stole THEIR data.
The only thing you can count on now is lies.

Lies on the platform and lies coming from the management of the platform.

They have learned nothing from the genocide their platform started in Myanmar.

@facebook is the home of disinformation.

Quick story regarding @facebook & Breitbart. According to Bannon in this clip, 31 of the 35 ad exchanges on Breitbart dropped them. We think at least one more dropped after this was recorded.

1 of the remaining 3? @facebook. They’ve helped Breitbart monetize this whole time.
Despite multiple violations of the @facebook Community Standards, both in articles and comments, Facebook has never stopped serving ads to their site. The worst part is that the vast majority of their customers don’t even know they’re showing up there, supporting the site.
Whether or not this has anything to do with Cambridge Analytica, we can’t know for sure, but it’s clear that someone has been watching out for Breitbart over at @Facebook. When the other ad exchanges leave because of Standards violations and they stay, something is up.

Matt here. Last year, The Daily Caller published a story exposing me and the names of my family and friends. Breitbart jumped on it and my family was hit with 2 weeks of harassment, including this death threat to my son on their comment section. This is what @facebook deems news.
I asked @joelpollak, the editor-at-large of Breitbart to remove this threat to my son and the address of our synagogue from their comment section along, which he refused to do for five straight days until we had received dozens more death threats.
Months after, one year ago today, Breitbart decided to try to sue ME simply for posting screenshots of their articles and asking advertisers if they supported that content. They never went through with it, but the threat was intentional and clear.

In the last few weeks, we’ve found out that @Facebook:

- Pays The Daily Caller, who has employed white supremacists like Jason Kessler (Unite the Right), as fact-checkers despite the organization not meeting the standards for their actual fact checking org @factchecknet.

1/
- Has had Tucker Carlson (owner of Daily Caller), who has said immigrants make our country “poorer and dirtier”, over time their CEO’s home for dinner to discuss potential partnerships and collaborations.

2/
- Has given Breitbart, featuring articles like “There’s No Hiring Bias Against Women in Tech, They Just Suck In Interviews” and preciously had a “Black Crime” tag for articles, as a “trusted” news source in their new News Feed.

Wall Street Journal @WSJ publishes op-ed by @EpochTimes publisher Stephen Gregory in response to misleading @NBCNews and @MSNBC attacks. (Thread 👇) wsj.com/articles/nbc-n…
@WSJ @NBCNews @MSNBC The #EpochTimes is a nonpartisan, independent media company that publishes a daily newspaper and website. Our motto is “Truth and Tradition.”

Last week #NBCNews and its sister network #MSNBC launched a series of irresponsible and misleading attacks on us.
The network led with the claim that we have spent “more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself” in the past 6 months on “pro-Trump advertisements.”

NBC refers to ads promoting our print subscriptions—typically short, lively videos featuring recent articles.

📊#Time for monthly #stats

Good news! #ISIS activity on @Twitter decreased again in June: 7 195 new 🎯That's 12% less compared to May.
Again, 88% of these accounts were hacked: old, inactive, weakly protected.
They could easily be frozen in bulk. 😐

Thanks everyone!

📊Time for monthly #stats

In average, we found 240 new #ISIS accounts per day in #June2019 (May: 263). Always the same guys, coming back again and again, spreading mostly the same propaganda month after month.
A bunch of losers...

#opiceisis
📊Time for monthly #stats

Less good news now. With 6 903 suspensions for 7 195🎯, the outcome (96%) slightly dropped again, by 1%.
@TwitterSupport provided a lower service this month for #ISIS accounts removals, both in terms of quantity...

#Facebook & #Twitter are reported by the Russian state press to “report on their compliance with Russian regulations requiring companies to store Russian users’ data on servers located inside Russia. 👇🏼
“If they refused, both companies faced small fines of 5,000 rubles ($75), though Roskomnadzor was careful to point out that it has no current plans to block the social-media giants.“
(the same outlet later revealed that Twitter’s response actually notified Russian officials that the company’s representatives can’t visit Moscow in January.)

The great horror of this age is that we know so much, but are still as incapable as ever. How do we stop this madness? What purpose does it serve?
Because I don’t have any better ideas on how to stop this horror, I’d like to retain your attention with an account of another famine, which took place just 75 years ago in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities during the Hunger Winter of 1944-’45.
At the time, my grandparents were running a drugstore in Amsterdam West, which meant they had it pretty easy compared to most other people, because they had plenty to trade in exchange for food, when their money proved to be inedible.

We’ve added a new column: change in the last 4 weeks. You can now use it to sort the table. We also updated the results today.

Go to cryptoinfluencers.io to check it out. Refresh the page if you can not see the new column.

Thanks @JoshuaJBouw for the suggestion!
On this note, we were curious to see how influence changes over time for given accounts.

Considering that everybody was talking about @a16z’s new crypto fund, we thought that this must have affected the scores of their partners @cdixon @katie_haun @ali01 @jessewldn @Iiterature
As we expected, @katie_haun was the fastest growing accounts this week. She gained 132 positions.

At the same time, @cdixon’s position didn’t change at all.

It makes sense. Kathryn has just become a GP. Chris has been known as the "crypto guy" there for a while.

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/…
