This story is insane.

Zuckerberg pushed so hard for realistic AI chatbots that they started sexualizing conversations with children. WSJ tested accounts.

/1 Image In an effort to catch up with Meta’s AI competitors, Zuckerberg was concerned that Meta was falling behind.

“‘I missed out on Snapchat and TikTok, I won’t miss on this,’ Zuckerberg fumed”

Seeing the tech bros dunking on Senator Blumenthal for the "finsta clip." First q I have is how many of you knew what a finsta was before today? Second, if you are dunking, did you actually watch the hearing?

I'm a teen. I also work in tech policy. Here's my translation for you. Here Senator Blumenthal perfectly explains what "finstas" are (fake instas). He's seen documents from the FB whistleblower which indicates FB sees a business proposition in users creating second, private accounts sometimes without the knowledge of parents. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Thoughts from me (a teen Instagram user) during this hearing. I'll thread below. ⬇️
commerce.senate.gov/2021/9/protect… Spoke to a few teens w mental health challenges ahead of today's hearing who use Instagram. They dismissed the idea that Instagram helped them through any of it but said they went to it as a temporary distraction.

I've gone through all 359 pages of this release to @JasonLeopold and compared them against prior releases to see what redactions have been removed ⬇️

⏺️Most removals are related to Roger Stone, Wikileaks
⏺️Some removals around Manafort, Gates Ukraine including Podesta Group, MCW STONE wanted to hire someone for social media on the 2016 Trump campaign from South Carolina and believed social media was an important vehicle.

Throughout these 302s it has become increasingly clearer how much Roger Stone valued social media for the campaign.

Mueller 302s database at work:

Here's a thread of all mentions of William SAMUEL PATTEN, the Washington lobbyist, former Cambridge Analytica consultant, and close contact with Russian agent Konstantin Kilimnik

This one's of interest to you, @profcarroll ;)
Credit: @JasonLeopold First up, is one of Patten's interviews with the FBI, detailing a whole range of relationships, principally Konstantin Kilimnik and his work for Cambridge Analytica in Mexico.

Patten was caught by the FBI deleting emails and messages related to his work with CA in Mexico

THREAD: Yesterday's upgraded @USTreasury Dept sanctions against Russian agent Konstantin Kilimnik confirm what we knew all along, that #CambridgeAnalytica engaged with Russian intel services (indirectly or directly) for the benefit of the Trump Campaign in 2016. I'll say it
[1/3] FOIA challenges from @JasonLeopold helped to reveal that #CambridgeAnalytica's psychological polling was lumped together for the Trump campaign and then Paul Manafort instructed Rick Gates to pass that information along to Russian operative Konstantin Kilimnik [2/3]

So I decided to download my Facebook data after learning I was a part of the 533m breach.

Clicked on a folder called “your_off_facebook_activity” and was unsurprised to learn that Facebook is following me all over the internet. Facebook knows when I ordered pizza

Testimony from Elizabeth Denham of the @ICOnews to the @CommonsDCMS as it relates to the investigation of Cambridge Analytica | A THREAD ⬇️

First up, Ms. Denham says the Senate Intelligence Committee did not contact the ICO despite the SSCI in the their report saying they did. Denham fails to specify what changed between April 2019 and October 2020 for there not to be a final report issued. Over 700 TB of information analyzed and the @ICOnews chose not to issue a final report on an almost 2 year investigation. @carolecadwalla @jason_kint @EmmaLBriant

Yesterday, the Central Bureau of Investigation in India registered a case against #CambridgeAnalytica and GSR for misusing Facebook data. The Bureau alleges only 335 people installed the app yet 562k people had their data harvested.

@EmmaLBriant research: propagandamachine.tech The poster of The Indian National Congress party in Alexander Nix's office as seen in @thegreathackdoc has been the source of much debate in India (according to reports) over which parties Cambridge Analytica worked for.

Excellent work by @JasonLeopold!

Unfortunately the secrets behind these redactions from August remain a mystery. #CambridgeAnalytica whistleblower Brittany Kaiser told #TheGreatHack that she was cooperating with Mueller team. The Russia question remains..
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl… For context @JasonLeopold obtained Kaiser's 302 in August of 2020. It's entirely redacted. ALL pages in the Mueller report related to #CambridgeAnalytica and any potential Russian connection is redacted. ICO in the UK referred Russia connection to the NCA
