some salience here but the thing it misses is any product discussion whatsoever

for *years*, the entire point for ad-supported networks was to make paid ads indistinguishable from organic content

(fwiw i am not for or against either "side")

wsj.com/articles/the-f…
this was the basis of the employee open letter which — if the WSJ ed board had read it closer — was primarily a host of suggestions to tweak the product

instead, much of this discussion has been flattened into "either you are for or against censorship" — a false dichotomy

here is a story on the brewing dissent inside Facebook over Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to allow political candidates and office holders to run FB ads with false information

nytimes.com/2019/10/28/tec…
and heres a copy of the open letter circulating inside of Facebook signed by hundreds of employees who disagree with the policy

nytimes.com/2019/10/28/tec…
fwiw no one i have spoken to really feels there are wholly satisfying answers for any of these problems

but some number of people inside of these companies are not happy with a free-for-all approach

fb says it will continue the Internal discussion

What if I told you that #BigTech and #SocialMedia platforms are manipulating you, steering you toward #Health information that they think is right, rather than letting you evaluate content for yourself?

Commentary by @MaryamHenein (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/google-censors…
Accredited professionals, meanwhile, who stand for #Health freedom and who criticize Big Anything, are losing posting privileges, getting banned, being buried, finding themselves deranked, and getting digitally assassinated.
Content is literally disappearing from the Internet along with our #Health choices.

It sounds conspiratorial because it is. Independent #Journalists and health experts are blowing the whistle. But it’s become a silent one.

Mega Thread of Opinion (1 of 52)

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

Here’s the thing: mega corporations can actually partner with existing communities. They can actually talk to residents and discuss how to make housing deeply affordable, how to not displace people, and how to pay people a living wage. That can happen. Cities can make it happen.
The cities run by Democrats can pass mandatory inclusionary zoning laws to ensure deeply affordable housing, they can pass living wage laws, they can ensure a robust community benefits agreement is signed with communities. There are policy tools cities can use to ensure equity.
But we see over and over again that urban Democrats would rather talk to corporations privately and give them HUGE tax breaks. Urban Democrats do not demand nor enforce the type of policies that can ensure that people have affordable housing and living wage jobs.

Here’s the thing. Letting Republicans frame the faith discussion as a dick swinging “my religion’s bigger than your religion” contest, and replying with, “Uh, God’s cool with me, and abortion makes me kinda uncomfortable” is a losing strategy. Instead, just show up for pluralism!
Please note that I’m not saying Democrats who are religious should never talk about their faith, if they can do so authentically and in a way that does not invalidate those of other faiths and none.

I am saying we should avoid the framing of “Hey, we’re religious too, really.”
Just show up for pluralism and equal accommodation. Next month I’m speaking at @CHShumanists as well as @ircrc and in a class of Rev. Dr. @aejohnsonphd. These aren’t expressly election related events, but I think my comfort addressing religious and godless audiences applies.

Lean into this thread like #Zuckerbitch leaned into Kremlin financing. 😍😍
2/ Angry @LincolnsBible is the best @LincolnsBible.

Funny thing about trying to play the victim now, Zuck. It's a bit of a hard sell after numerous people tried to help you before and you called their efforts to educate you a "pretty crazy idea".
3/ All the way back in October 2010, you did this, Mark.

"Facebook will supply Yandex with a data feed of status updates from Facebook Pages."

"Yandex says it will add the Facebook data into its blog search index."
