Her finder du historier om eller fra de store sociale platforme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kontakten mellem udgiver/afsender og modtager.

Facebook

Her er Facebooks nye News-satsning

Facebook Newsroom:
Today we’re starting to test Facebook News, a dedicated place for news on Facebook, to a subset of people in the US. News gives people more control over the stories they see, and the ability to explore a wider range of their news interests, directly within the Facebook app. It also highlights the most relevant national stories of the day. News articles will continue to appear in News Feed as they do today.

…og hvad har det ikke kostet Facebook at lære det her?

“Regarding personalization, publishers worry that machine learning has limits and they’re right. We have progress to make before we can rely on technology alone to provide a quality news destination.”

I pressemeddelelsen kan du også læse om de krav, Facebook stiller til udgiverne, før de kan være med i Facebook News.

Mark Zuckerberg har også en “opinion” artikel ude:

Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook Can Help the News Business
Advertising revenue that used to support journalism now goes to companies like mine. We have a plan to help fix that.

Facebook vil kalde falsk information “Falsk information”

Nieman Lab:
“Disputed by 3rd Party Fact-Checkers” wasn’t cutting it, so Facebook is getting a little more blunt: Over the next month, fake news posts will begin to be labeled, simply, as “False Information,” Facebook announced on Monday as part of a press call and post outlining the ways it’s handling content around the U.S. 2020 presidential election. Fake Instagram posts are also getting clearer, pop-up labels.”

The company said it is changing the way it measures Page impressions to align with the methodology it uses for ads: ‘This is not a change in distribution, but a change in the way we filter out repeat organic impressions that occur within a short amount of time.'”

Måske er det ikke YouTubes algoritme, der radikaliserer

Wired:
“The paper, written by Penn State political scientists Kevin Munger and Joseph Phillips, tracks the explosive growth of alternative political content on YouTube, and calls into question many of the field’s established narratives. It challenges the popular school of thought that YouTube’s recommendation algorithm is the central factor responsible for radicalizing users and pushing them into a far-right rabbit hole.”

YouTubes “takedowns” gør det sværere at dokumentere krigsforbrydelser

Columbia Journalism Review:
Like every other large social platform, YouTube has come under fire for not doing enough to remove videos that contain hate speech and disinformation. The Google-owned company has said repeatedly that it is trying to get better at doing so. But in some cases, removing videos because they contain graphic imagery of violence can be a bad thing.”

FTC: Salg af følgere er ulovligt

Social Media Today:
“All in all, the case sets a new parameter for potential legal action against fake social engagement sellers, which will likely deter many from taking the risk in future. Of course, there’s still a level of complexity in pursuing legal action against providers with no US presence, but Facebook has already extended its push to fake like sellers originating from China. The time may soon be up for fake sellers – and for those who’ve bought their way to significant social media followings.”

Ny CNN-tjeneste skal konkurrere med Facebook

Der er ingen tvivl om, at vi i øjeblikket ser en kamp om at blive det sted, hvor medieforbrugere starter deres rejse, når de skal finde ud af, hvad der er sket ude i verden.

The Information:
“Just a few months after Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. announced it was developing Knewz.com, a news aggregation service offering articles from a wide range of outlets, CNN is jumping in with its own offering. Not yet named, but referred to internally as “NewsCo,” CNN is discussing paying news organizations to feature their content on the platform, which will likely be a mix of subscription-based and advertising-based content, according to CNN digital chief Andrew Morse.”

Mere om den kommende CNN-tjeneste:

“Into this situation walks CNN, or News Corp, or any other news company that has a high-cost model of production and fears becoming that icon in someone else’s app. They don’t want to become mere suppliers to the tech titans. They want to own the customer relationship. And hence NewsCo and Knewz.”

Kunstig intelligens fjerner halvdelen af de stødende tweets

VentureBeat:
“Twitter has faced an uphill struggle as it strives to make its platform a less daunting place to spend time — bullying and abuse are genuine threats for anyone daring to engage with others on Twitter. But relying on user reports and human moderators to remove abuse is a near-impossible challenge on a platform of Twitter’s scale, which is why it has turned to machine learning tools to automate much of the process, just as Facebook is doing.”
