This entire CNN report is a must-read with a number of chilling details... at a time when it's difficult to imagine we can still be chilled. cnn.com/2020/09/09/pol…
Just go read it. And then buy Woodward's book next Tuesday. cnn.com/2020/09/09/pol…
Disgusted. "Woodward pressed Trump on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's role in the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Once again, Trump dismissed the US intelligence assessment and defends bin Salman: 'He says very strongly that he didn't do it.'"
My work hat on, I would also point out that CNN's interweaving of actual audio and highlighting the text as it plays, is super well done and necessary based on past experience in White House trying to discredit reporters and newsrooms. cnn.com/2020/09/09/pol…
Here is the link to buy it. amazon.com/Rage-Bob-Woodw…

Yes, it’s a positive move. But remember:
- microtargeted political ads are problem and FB’s entire biz model
- Twitter banned all political ads (avoiding biz model debate)
- Google banned all microtargeted political ads
FB is making change for final week only.
Only Facebook...
Only Facebook knows how political ads has been used to microtarget the public with suppressing messaging based on their vulnerabilities. Only Facebook knows how this new move will affect campaign spending and intentions...
as election experts, lawmakers, regulators studying 2016 stated...banning microtargeted political ads is a “pause” until we better understand harmful effects, solutions. The alternative is chaos. FB is taking step away from chaos here of last minute subversion using its tools.

I’m a bit forgiving here since it’s being reported from other side of world but this threat by Facebook is missing much context including a multi-year antitrust investigation by ACCC which started earlier than rest of world. China/TikTok/Trump context isn’t even that relevant.
I do applaud we don’t have to read a Ben Thompson quote missing same nuance along with mechanics of mandatory code for Google and Facebook. In Google’s round of lobbying last week, they promoted Thompson hard and even used monopoly to spread G’s propaganda on every search result.
FB and Goog’s main arguments here still come from last decade as they boast about the clicks/traffic they drive. These investigations are so much smarter and fully examine G/FB’s data practices and no longer simply give them a pass because their products pretend to be “free.”

Green screen #1 has launched. It’s a strong first entry.
Green screen entry #2. Superb overlays. Epstein ftw.
Green screen entry #3 - a not so subtle reminder this President has set the U.S. to formally exit the Paris Agreement this November.

Boom. Aug 3rd, we quietly filed in Phoenix courts to have docs unsealed in State of Arizona vs. Google. Our argument was public interest, Google had undermined consumer trust and transparency helps other proceedings.
Our friends at News Media Alliance co-signed with @DCNorg. /1
We knew the Judge had accepted our filing into the record but the great news is that the complaint has been refiled with significant redactions removed. More on this in a minute but here are the docs. Press will find unsealed sections interesting. /2 azag.gov/sites/default/…
If you're not familiar with the case, you likely remember the news that broke it wide open. It was a report from AP on how turning off location history on Android phones didn't actually stop Google from collecting location data. /3 apnews.com/828aefab64d441…

This is 100% voter suppression. Unless Twitter decides to eliminate its amplification of it, it’s a bad idea to retweet it even to criticize it. There’s a reason it has as an many retweets as comments. Your context will get lost and Twitter’s systems give it velocity and reach.
Now on a positive note, Twitter has been better at taking action and disallowed paid promotion of a post like this. Meanwhile Facebook will allow this false post to be microtargeted to undecided or unmotivated seniors leaning democrat in swing states. Powerful suppression.
Here is the same msg this morning on Facebook. Yes, Facebook places this neutral message to go get accurate info but it’s the ability to surgically microtarget false messaging to vulnerable populations which Google and Twitter have banned and Facebook leadership is failing on.
