good afternoon, Facebook.
that's some shade. In the middle of dropping Cambridge Analytica files related to Bolton, @HindsightFiles follows a single Twitter account - @AmbJohnBolton.

@tristanharris labels Facebook and YouTube as the "Flint water supply of information"
tip: spend zero moments reading the memo leaked by Facebook executive @boztank and use that regained time to read @tristanharris's just posted and thoughtful testimony on the related topic. energycommerce.house.gov/sites/democrat…
@boztank @tristanharris "Imagine a nuclear power industry creating the energy grid infrastructure we all rely on, without taking responsibility for nuclear waste, grid failures, or making sufficient investments to protect it from cyber attacks...

at the risk of getting into the middle of a partisan pie fight, I have a bit of a different take and focus on the uproar over Facebook's announcement last night. Reminder, @drewharwell reported the Pelosi video was spread by Facebook for 31 hours. Some thoughts from me. /1
me: "We're entirely at risk here in letting Facebook turn this into a censorship debate while ignoring the fact these videos only receive their velocity and reach due to Facebook's algorithm and recommendations not because they're simply allowed to exist." /2
"There is a lot of garbage on the Internet. The Pelosi video would be a tree in an empty forest if not for Facebook's algorithms which are also the source of Facebook's immense profits." /3

hello facebook. @IanCLucas @JoStevensLabour @DamianCollins @SenJohnThune @SenatorBurr @RepAnnaEshoo @USRepMikeDoyle @AOC @CommonsCMS @carolecadwalla @SenKamalaHarris @SenWhitehouse all asked in some way about this. No one seems to receive straight answers. techcrunch.com/2020/01/06/fac…
@IanCLucas @JoStevensLabour @DamianCollins @SenJohnThune @SenatorBurr @RepAnnaEshoo @USRepMikeDoyle @AOC @CommonsCMS @carolecadwalla @SenKamalaHarris @SenWhitehouse bravo @riptari. Really covers a lot of ground and doesn't make same mistakes as some press. eg good she uses the word "sold" rather than Facebook PR's preference of "harvest" or "share"...there is a leaked commercial contract and SEC complaint to back this up.
@IanCLucas @JoStevensLabour @DamianCollins @SenJohnThune @SenatorBurr @RepAnnaEshoo @USRepMikeDoyle @AOC @CommonsCMS @carolecadwalla @SenKamalaHarris @SenWhitehouse @riptari This report is a must read - includes the hiring of Joseph Chancellor, Facebook's obfuscations, regulator recommendations to suspend microtargeting of political ads. Really hits it all. HIghly recommend. techcrunch.com/2020/01/06/fac…

Uh oh. Things not looking good for Facebook. @commons_cms hearing with Alex Kogan (who harvested data for Cambridge Analytica) now live. @DamianCollins: "I don't think Facebook have been clear with us about what they do with users' data..."
Kogan on his research collaboration with Facebook: "Facebook just gave us the data. There was no kind of written agreement. They just gave it us."
Alex Kogan explaining why he changed his name to Dr Spectre. "Were you aware it was also the name of the evil organisation in James Bond?" asks @IanCLucas. "No sir, I did not. It was an unfortunate coincidence."

#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/…

Facebook has some really creepy plans!
Just check their patents!
Small thread with thanks to @jashkenas 👇

1⃣ Facebook wants to track your eye movements
using special infrared LEDs that shine into your pupil & cornea to determine gaze patents.google.com/patent/US20180… #Facebook #privacy
Facebook wants to reads your comments for positive or negative “affinity scores”
to generate sentiments and “trust scores”
and use the resulting data sets from trusted users
to train a machine learning model
patents.google.com/patent/US20180… | #privacy #facebook
to manipulate people..
3⃣ Facebook wants to “automatically sense, record and identify all types of activities such as walking, running, jogging, cycling, rowing, driving with car, bus, train, walking stairs, jumping, swimming, playing football & skiing” patents.google.com/patent/US20150… | #Facebook #privacy

Tweet storm on how India has built a worse manipulation engine for elections than Cambridge Analytica
When #Facebook allowed third parties to colonise your relationship with them, they corrupted the purpose for which you and Facebook came together medium.com/@anupamsaraph/…
One such third party, Cambridge Analytica, corrupted your relationship with your government by destroying your right to free choice motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
