I saw questions last night whether Parscale admittance to hospital related to NYT report. I would instead look across the Atlantic. This reporting in two hours can only lead to perjury charges for Parscale.
to 60 Minutes ⬆️

Again, the issue has always been Facebook’s capacity to microtarget with “dark ads” leading to voter suppression and amplification/velocity/reach of misleading and voter suppression messaging. A transparent ad archive has always been a red herring.
Here is the web report on the @Channel4News report about to air. channel4.com/news/revealed-…
Need I remind everyone the evidence shows Facebook knew what was happening and even had staff working alongside the operation in texas. Do not let an anonymous Facebook spokesperson's comment to @Channel4News portray this as OLD News. Thread....
and they are live. it's a whopping 21 minutes after edit.
I haven't seen it so watching now personally. Trust me, absolute MUST WATCH.
here is a cue to a key example why this matters. "On election day 2016...turnout of black voters in Wisconsin collapsed by 19%. The margin of victory in the state just 23,000 votes."
wow, they went door to door to follow up on with the black voters in the database marked for "deterrence." Public broadcasting and journalism are important, y'all.

Here is Annette Clinton... (yes last name coincidence doesn't escape me)...watch her.
Here are two other victims.
“We can’t tell you how many messages were targeted at Black voters or what was in them because Facebook won’t tell us.”
“What do you think of Facebook’s role here?” to VP of @NAACP.
Now it's time to revisit a leaked memo by Mark Zuckerberg lieutenant and senior executive, Andrew Bosworth. The evidence points to Facebook execs (Bosworth, Sandberg, Zuckerberg, Schrage, DC policy shop) have engaged in a multi-year cover-up. nytimes.com/2020/01/07/tec… Image
Also turn back the clock to “Without Facebook we wouldn’t have won”
As much as the Fort Lauderdale video footage of Parscale being taken down shirtless to be arrested might make for good social media excitement, I would stay focused on the blockbuster news report that no doubt he knew was coming. ⬆️
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ch 4 letting us know that they aren’t done reporting.
I’m going to be *crystal clear* here as Facebook previously convinced press to say its data wasn’t “sold.”
⬇️
Facebook helped (by providing technology and embedded employees and subsequently covered up) a massive voter suppression campaign microtargeted at people of color.
Oh dear. They found someone who would defend the practices. My only question is whether Roger Stone is hiding behind the camera considering his hometown Fort Lauderdale (popular place these days).
So much of major US press likely won’t cover this without access to the full database. Hoping @Channel4News will find a way journalistically to allow other news orgs access to data. @JuliaAngwin team could have a field day. And Americans should be able to see their own record?
This is a really good catch by Prof Carroll. A near exact match in classifications of Cambridge Analytica to the database used to suppress votes being reported on by Ch 4 today. ⬆️
I think @CBSNews is first US media to cover the bombshell report out of UK. I just did an interview with their evening news on CBSN. Amazing they're all over it despite so much else going on. cbsnews.com/live/video/202…
also @CBSEveningNews @NorahODonnell reported on the personal side of this multifaceted news day for Parscale. cbsnews.com/video/ex-trump…

The 8hr video of Jack Smith’s testimony was released by Congress on New Years’ Eve in between Epstein and Venezuela. It’s an extraordinary display of Smith’s integrity and attention to justice and fairness on 1/6. Allison Gill deserves praise for curating the key clips. 1/4
Smith clearly represents all who worked towards justice and public interest, expressing his confidence and rationale he had the evidence to prove Jan 6th case to a jury. He also shows his gratitude to those retaliated against - in just doing their jobs. This stood out to me. 2/4
I must say I’m impressed by Covington & Burling law firm who has stood strong during this retaliation. This is just 1/6 - they’ve worked with Smith to be cautious to not discuss any confidential details in his classified docs report still sealed by Judge Cannon. (1.3x to fit) 3/4

So many mind blowing sentences in this just incredible Wall Street Journal report. Starting here, “Witkoff, who hasn’t traveled to Ukraine this year, is set to visit Russia for the sixth time next week and will again meet Putin. He insisted he isn’t playing favorites.” /1
“Inside were details of the commercial and
economic plans the Trump administration had been pursuing with Russia, including jointly mining rare earths in the Arctic.” /2 Image
“European official asked Witkoff to start speaking with allies over the secure fixed line Europe's heads of state use to conduct sensitive
diplomatic conversations. Witkoff demurred, as he traveled too much to use the cumbersome system.” /3

Saturday’s “No Kings” protests have filled front pages across America with impactful visuals and headlines of peaceful protests. Many included the eye popping NYC Times Square shot. Here in the Dothan Eagle (Alabama). But everyone turned out. See Montana in its Missoulian. /1 Image

US v Google remedies: Nothing groundbreaking from return of DOJ’s star economist this morning. Court tested if his concerns over solely behavioral remedies assume distrust in Google (won’t follow court orders). I don’t think it mattered relative to where we were last night... /1
Yes, some will read as leaning against structural-remedy interest. I took it simply her clarifying she doesn’t need to lean on distrust if structural is shown tech feasible. Although witness pointed out distrust harms competition investment levels. /2
Court also very much nodded head when witness Lee explained why he didn’t do “but for” analysis to a dollar amount. Mehta also determined in search it was infeasible and unnecessary so cross that out of Google’s defense imho. /3

ok, this is HUGE. Late Friday, Penske (PMC) filed a wicked-smart, landmark antitrust lawsuit against Google. I've now read it in full and I'm very impressed. Importantly, it's the first antitrust suit for Google tying its AI-driven products to its adjudicated search monopoly. /1 Image
The core claim: Google is abusing its search monopoly to force pubs to hand over content - not just for traditional search indexing but to feed its AI. Google then repurposes it to substitute them with its own services breaking the fundamental bargain of the open web. /2 Image
Penske says this is not a fair exchange. If it weren't for Google's adjudicated monopoly power (recall Judge Mehta said they get 19x as many queries as next biggest), Google would be paying pubs for these rights or if it didn't then they would opt-out of providing them. /3 Image

OK all ye people depressed Judge Mehta didn't order Google broken into bits this week. I'm here to cheer you up. DOJ has its other remedies trial in 16 days and just posted its PFJ (Proposed Final Remedies) now 60+ pages of brilliant detail. Let me walk you through key terms. /1 Image
This is the 2023 US v Google adtech win - the one DCN and its premium publishers have long been much more deep and focused on. Here’s what it means for publishers of all types - and why it will be a massive win for the open web if Judge Brinkema signs on (I believe she will). /2 Image
First, clear structural remedies. Google must divest AdX, its ad exchange, w/in 2yrs and likely DFP, its publisher ad server. No more vertical ad stack monopoly with interest conflicts. This would finally decouple tools Google can use to rig auctions and suppress pub revenues. /3 Image
