🚨BREAKING🚨 Disinformation on Facebook kills.

Ahead of Facebook's quarterly earnings, RFOB releases its "Facebook Quarterly Harms Report" for Q2. This report documents Facebook's harms around COVID-19, and human life, and democracy.

Read the report ⬇️
rfob.medium.com/facebook-quart…
A Real Facebook Oversight Board analysis from 2021 Q2 data found that a majority of the “Number One posts” (most engagement on Facebook for that day) originated from just five known ‘disinformation superspreaders’. Image
RFOB, in our report, also identified those five known “disinformation superspreaders.”
These superspreaders are serial disinformation offenders yet their posts rank “Number 1” frequently, per our analysis. Image

NEW: Facebook’s self-funded Oversight Board will announce tomorrow whether Trump stays or goes. There will be an 🧨explosion 🧨 of headlines. *Which is exactly what Facebook wants*

It wins if he stays. It wins if he goes.

Imagine Phillip Morris set up the Independent Tobacco Oversight Board in the 80s. Then imagine it deliberated for 3 months over whether to sell cigarettes to kids. This is no different. It’s Facebook distracting attention from its own version of its cancer-causing chemicals.
2/
*Of course* Donald Trump should be permanently banned from Facebook! This is the no brainer of no brainers. He's violated Facebook’s terms of services repeatedly, incited hate & violence & super spreads disinfo. End of.

"Facebook approves alcohol, vaping, gambling and dating ads targeting teens, lobby group finds" by Conor Duffy for @abcnews
abc.net.au/news/2021-04-2…
@abcnews "What we found was there was no difference in the way they were treating teenager's data," Reset Australia executive director Chris Cooper said.
@abcnews "It enabled advertisers to buy access to those profiles and target teenagers around very questionable interest areas such as gambling, smoking, alcohol and even their dating status."

Sheryl Sandberg says they are working "...to mitigate the impact of the iOS 14.5 update."
Mark Zuckerberg: Contrary to what critics say, "we do not optimize settings to increase time spent in Newsfeed."
