"It wasn't until early 2018 that Facebook published even basic information on Facebook ads." - @wrklsshrd
"We do see ads that feel like they are over the edge, even in terms of Facebook’s policies, particularly during the pandemic about health misinfo. Trump is quite happy to say that 'I am immune to Covid' and 'I’ve been cured' and potentially putting people at risk.” @wrklsshrd
"We're certainly seeing ads running for a long time after Facebook's own policy says they should be taken down. Facebook says they've got a policy. They're not enforcing that policy. I find that really unclear." - @wrklsshrd
“The biggest misinformation [from the Trump campaign] seems to get used to try and get money out of the pockets of their own supporters. In a way you’re lying to your own people.” - @wrklsshrd
"If you go to decoder.whotargets.me you can have a look at that data and see what [political campaigns] are doing." - @wrklsshrd

Two years ago Zuck told @karaswisher “I’m Jewish, and there’s a set of people who deny that the Holocaust happened. I find that deeply offensive. But at the end of the day, I don’t believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different..."
On Monday, #Zuckerberg said his thoughts on holocaust denial had changed "with rising anti-Semitism, we're expanding our policy to prohibit any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust.”
#Zuck says "I've struggled with the tension between standing for free expression and the harm caused by minimizing or denying the horror of the Holocaust.”

Why Facebook Can't Fix Itself: excerpts from a New Yorker article by Andrew Marantz, with input from Real Facebook Oversight Board member, Rashad Robinson, and The Citizens member, Cori Crider.

A thread:

@NewYorker @andrewmarantz @rashadrobinson @cori_crider @allthecitizens
1/ "Facebook’s stated mission is to “bring the world closer together.” It considers itself a neutral platform, not a publisher, and so has resisted censoring its users’ speech, even when that speech is ugly or unpopular."
2/ "In its early years, Facebook weathered periodic waves of bad press, usually occasioned by incidents of bullying or violence on the platform. Yet none of this seemed to cause lasting damage to the company’s reputation, or to its valuation."
