Twitter forbyder politiske annoncer

Det annoncerede Twitter-medstifter og CEO Jack Dorsey i en Twitter-tråd, selvfølgelig:

Det har selvfølgelig ført til en masse omtaler. Læs nogle af de vigtigste her:

Twitter will ban all political advertising starting in November

The changes will affect both candidate ads and issue ads, although ads encouraging voter registration will still be allowed, along with other exceptions. Dorsey said a full policy will be made available to the public on November 15th.

The Verge

Twitter’s new ban on political ads is a silent challenge to Facebook

He warned that internet advertising’s power “brings significant risks to politics” — a dig at Facebook, which doesn’t fact-check ads from politicians.

Twitter does what Facebook won’t

Then there was the timing of the announcement, which came just as Mark Zuckerberg — who gently mocked Twitter’s relatively small investment in platform integrity efforts in the audio we published this month — was just about to start Facebook’s quarterly earnings call.

Intern uro om Facebooks syn på poltiske annoncer

Opfølgning på Facebook News

I sidste uge lancerede Facebook deres længe ventede ‘Facebook News’, indtil videre som en test for nogle af de amerikanske brugere.

Her kan du læse reaktioner og andet, der er skrevet om Facebook News i den forgange uge:

Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook News won’t provide data to advertisers

On Friday at the Paley Media Center in New York City, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and News Corp CEO Robert Thomson engaged in a frank discussion about the role of news media in informing conversation on Facebook’s platform. It came after the soft launch of Facebook News, a new curation product intended to spotlight top-quality daily news.

VentureBeat

Mark Zuckerberg makes the case for Facebook News

“While Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg seemed cheerful and even jokey when he took the stage today in front of journalists and media executives (at one point, he described the event as “by far the best thing” he’d done this week), he acknowledged that there are reasons for the news industry to be skeptical.”

TechCrunch

Newsonomics: Will Facebook’s new news tab be a milestone or millstone?

No doubt, the numbers in this deal get attention.  News Corp, of course, most likely does the best (see “Rupert always rises to the top,” below), with millions in new revenue.

Nieman Lab

Facebook News Won’t Fix the News

“Facebook News is too little because it doesn’t change the information equation within the platform’s news feed, which will remain the dominant platform by orders of magnitude. Only a fraction of users who spend hours on Facebook every day will even bother to open the news tab, and of those who do, few are likely to check it as regularly as they do their feed.”

OneZero

Facebook’s paying publishers directly. Is this the new normal?

To be sure, Facebook News is a significant departure from how Facebook has treated news in the past. For one, Facebook has moved off uncertain ad revenue-sharing deals in favor of direct payments. What’s more, unlike something like Facebook Live, publishers are reusing content they have already created.

Facebook included far-right Breitbart News in its new ‘high quality’ news tab

Among major publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post, along with regional newspapers like the Dallas Morning News and the Chicago Tribune, Facebook selected Breitbart News to be one of around 200 outlets featured in the tab.
