10am! House Judiciary, antitrust hearing. I'm most interested in upcoming testimony from Microsoft Prez Brad Smith. In past months, they've come out as a brilliant advocate for the needs of a free and plural press in Australia, EU. Loved + appreciated. /1 judiciary.house.gov/calendar/event…
This dimension today is important - the downstream impact to journalism from lack of antitrust enforcement, particularly Google and Facebook. Investigations globally have connected the duopoly's stranglehold upstream to its unique access to data, particularly tracking users. /2
Microsoft, like with Apple, is a critically important voice and yes showing strong leadership by supporting press, consumer privacy and calling out uneven bargaining power considering size of their own companies. I respect this and yes it's easier due to their own biz models. /3

Amazing. What are the odds??? I spy Joel Kaplan’s comms operative immediately next to Twitter’s Comms chief as @CaseyNewton leads a live convo with @_KarenHao about her massive report today on the toxic biz model of Facebook. technologyreview.com/2021/03/11/102… Image
I love it when @_KarenHao begins an answer with “When Facebook still thought I was going to write a puff piece...”
And Casey doing an outro for Twitter Spaces after ninety minutes of dissecting Facebook between press, ex-employees, academics and competitors also pretty enjoyable.

Watching Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg repeatedly gaslight at her trade body's meeting as @r2rothenberg labels Facebook's issues as "memes." First, she dismisses the toxicity of their profit maximization to democracy. Read this please. /1
technologyreview.com/2021/03/11/102…
Then she goes off on how diligent Facebook is in taking down fake accounts which semantically is at odds with unsealed evidence from just weeks ago and we await the unsealed fraud complaint. /2
Then she moves into full-throated defense of "personalized advertising" with Rothenberg again gaslighting on what is required to personalize advertising and avoiding the topic of how most of Facebook's data collection and tracking happens we use services not owned by Facebook. /3

This is the chief lobbyist, who as much as anyone fixes the privacy rules low to protect the surveillance ads industry for Adtech, Google and Facebook. He apparently believes broadcasting his physical attributes to the internet isn’t creepy. No idea why video goes dark. 1/5
This is false. IAB lobbyist presenting California privacy law as unbaked and stating CPRA goes into enforcement 2yrs from now when it has 1yr lookback meaning it’s 9 months away. Strategy here to undermine Californian’s privacy rights while jamming through weaker state laws. 2/5
Those little icons all over the web signaling you’re being tracked and targeted with ads? and require you to individually optout of hundreds of companies you don’t know exist? They’re a success and compared to McDonald’s cheeseburgers. 3/5

There are literally emails where Facebook communicates a strategy to restrict its developer platform and access to its personal data based on competitive threats. Including one where CEO explicitly calls for removing a competitor, “go for it.” Image
Please just read this sentence. Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. They’ve also claimed unsuccessfully DC AG doesn’t have standing over its citizens and are currently arguing the entire nation of Canada doesn’t over its citizens either! Image

Important context. Yesterday, CEO of Google and Facebook's key trade group (IAB) framed antitrust scrutiny as "short-sighted" attempting to redirect #1 priority towards federal privacy law (pro tip: to undermine CA law which threatens adtech and tracking). bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The reality is the battle for the future sits at the intersection of data policy and competition policy. Multiyear investigations in Australia, Europe, UK and US have established this. In the US, it's led to lawsuits to break up Google and Facebook. What is not true, though, is..
the scrutiny out of DC and abroad is not confusion over "privacy, fake news, censorship and competition"...these are all downstream symptoms from a lack of enforcement on data and competition...and lack of self-regulation by industry led by Google and Facebook's trade groups.
