Del 1: Sociale medier 

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.

🌍 Klimabenægtelse på YouTube har ændret karakter

Fra The Verge:

In the past, con­tent that false­ly claimed that cli­mate change was either not hap­pen­ing or not a result of humans burn­ing fos­sil fuels dom­i­nat­ed dis­in­for­ma­tion chan­nels. That’s not the case any­more, accord­ing to an analy­sis by the non­prof­it Cen­ter for Coun­ter­ing Dig­i­tal Hate (CCDH). Instead, the most com­mon lies about cli­mate change now have to do with deny­ing the ben­e­fits of clean ener­gy, attack­ing poli­cies meant to slash plan­et-heat­ing pol­lu­tion from fos­sil fuels, and malign­ing sci­en­tists and advo­cates that push for change.

🤳 Italien strammer reglerne for influencere

Fra The Guardian:

In the wake of the fias­co, Italy’s com­mu­ni­ca­tions author­i­ty on Thurs­day approved strin­gent new rules, akin to those applied to all media out­lets, to improve trans­paren­cy in social media posts pro­duced by influ­encers with more than 1 mil­lion fol­low­ers. Adver­tis­ing must be more explic­it­ly labelled to make it recog­nis­able to the read­er, or else influ­encers risk fines of up to €600,000.

🤔 Bør vi egentlig bruge hashtags på LinkedIn?

Fra Social Media Today:

So it seems that LinkedIn is now less reliant on hash­tags for max­i­miz­ing dis­cov­ery, though you should be wary of which key­words are men­tioned in your main post, and con­sid­er how you can tap into the right con­ver­sa­tion streams based on your tar­get top­ics.

🔖 Lav Instagram-stickers ud af dine billeder

Fra Social Media Today:

Instagram’s added a new option that enables you to cut out ele­ments of still image posts, which you can then re-use as stick­ers in your own Sto­ries and Reels.

🤫 Threads lader os skjule optællinger

Fra Social Media Today:

"As you can see in this exam­ple, shared by social media expert Matt Navar­ra, the new list­ing now enables you to select “Hide like and share counts” in the post detail screen. Pre­vi­ous­ly, you could only hide Like counts in iso­la­tion."

💬 WhatsApp vokser i USA

Fra Big Tech­nol­o­gy:

Sud­den­ly, every­one in the U.S. seems to be using What­sApp. The app — once seen as an inter­na­tion­al phe­nom­e­non — grew dai­ly users in the U.S. by 9% in 2023, accord­ing to App­topia, and is gain­ing steam among the iPhone crowd.

👨‍💻 Bluesky ansætter moderatorer direkte

Fra The Verge:

Bluesky hires its own mod­er­a­tors direct­ly. That’s one of a few things I learned from the platform’s 2023 mod­er­a­tion report. Also, it plans to open source its fron­tend mod­er­a­tion review sys­tem (called “Ozone”) and says it is “in the process of pulling out the mod­er­a­tion back-end as a stand­alone ser­vice that oth­er orga­ni­za­tions can self-host.”

😮 X‑ansat sagsøger Musk for æreskrænkelse

Fra RTE:

"Aaron Rod­er­icks, who is the co-lead of Threat Dis­rup­tion at X, the social media for­mer­ly known as Twit­ter, claims he was defamed and his rep­u­ta­tion dam­aged by Mr Musk in a tweet pub­lished on the entrepreneur's per­son­al Twit­ter han­dle."

👋 Sheryl Sandberg forlader Metas bestyrelse

Fra Axios:

For­mer Meta chief oper­at­ing offi­cer Sheryl Sand­berg plans to leave Meta's board of direc­tors, Axios has learned. She will become an infor­mal advis­er to the com­pa­ny in May.

Del 2: Digitale tendenser

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens ten­denser inden­for medi­er. Det kan være en ny metode eller til­gang, branchen forsøger at tage til sig.

📉 Apple-ændring sender chokbølger igennem podcast-verden

Fra Semafor:

Apple has qui­et­ly tight­ened its report­ing of how many peo­ple lis­ten to pod­casts, send­ing shock waves through an embat­tled audio indus­try still reel­ing from the end of the COVID-era pro­duc­tion bub­ble.

Mere:

Simon Owens:

To be clear, Apple did noth­ing wrong here. If any­thing, it took a van­i­ty met­ric and replaced it with a more accu­rate one.

Because of how pod­casts are deliv­ered, it’s long been dif­fi­cult to mea­sure how many peo­ple actu­al­ly lis­ten to a giv­en episode, and so that’s why the indus­try has set­tled on the down­load as an imper­fect proxy.

The iOS update sim­ply elim­i­nat­ed down­loads that were unlike­ly to con­vert into lis­tens.

😯 Substacks nazi-problemer

I opsam­lin­gen fra uge 2 skrev jeg, at Sub­stack er ved at rydde op i nazis­tiske udgivelser, og at Plat­former-nyheds­brevet nu for­lad­er plat­for­men og i stedet skkifter til CMS'et Ghost (hvor jeg også udgiv­er et nyheds­brev, og det er et genialt sys­tem 👌).

Hvis du vil have overb­likket over den mod­vind og de prob­le­mer, Sub­stack er havnet i, har jeg nogle links til dig lige her:

😟 Forskere: Google-søgning er blevet dårligere

Fra 404 Media:

The major­i­ty of high-rank­ing prod­uct reviews in the result pages of com­mer­cial search engines use affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing, and sig­nif­i­cant amounts are out­right SEO prod­uct review spam.

👎 Instagram-stiftere lukker aggregator-app

Fra Arti­fact News:

We’ve made the deci­sion to wind down oper­a­tions of the Arti­fact app. We launched a year ago and since then we’ve been work­ing tire­less­ly to build a great prod­uct. We have built some­thing that a core group of users love, but we have con­clud­ed that the mar­ket oppor­tu­ni­ty isn’t big enough to war­rant con­tin­ued invest­ment in this way.

😟 Det ser sort ud for musikmediet Pitchfork

Fra Plat­former:

On Wednes­day, Semafor’s Maxwell Tani shared an inter­nal memo from Condè Nast, which had acquired the for­mer­ly inde­pen­dent pub­li­ca­tion in 2015. Pitch­fork is being merged into GQ, chief con­tent offi­cer Anna Win­tour announced; as part of the move, Pitch­fork edi­tor in chief Puja Patel is leav­ing the com­pa­ny. No fur­ther staff reduc­tions were announced, though they seem inevitable. [...]

Those con­ver­sa­tions are no doubt still tak­ing place some­where, dif­fused across a thou­sand dif­fer­ent forums and social media plat­forms. But con­tem­po­rary music cul­ture is much more invest­ed in fan­doms than it is in crit­i­cism.

🤔 Her er de forslag i Googles Privacy Sandbox, medier prioriterer

Fra Digi­day:

The Pri­va­cy Sand­box is com­posed of dozens of pro­pos­als that are meant to be test­ed and debat­ed amongst the stake­hold­ers with­in the dig­i­tal adver­tis­ing ecosys­tem, and only after scaled adop­tion do they become “web stan­dards,” accord­ing to Google’s Pri­va­cy Sand­box explain­er. But not all of the pro­pos­als are worth the time and effort of exper­i­men­ta­tion, accord­ing to pub­lish­ers.

🆘 Ordforklaringer ifm. Googles udfasning af tredjeparts-cookies

Fra Digi­day:

👦 Netflix har stadig godt fat i de unge

Fra Medi­aWatch:

TV 2 tog en større bid af de 21–30-årige seeres daglige stream­ing, mens Net­flix tabte ter­ræn i 2023. Det kræver ”kæmpe ind­sats” at fange og fastholde unge, udtaler TV 2‑direktør.

🤝 Netflix og Carrefour i samarbejde

Fra Bloomberg:

"Net­flix Inc. is test­ing a joint plan with French retail­er Car­refour SA in a pilot project to win more cus­tomers to its cheap­est sub­scrip­tion and that mim­ics a mod­el used by Amazon.com Inc. to boost stream­ing cus­tomers.

🔮 Zuckerberg vil skabe AGI og open source den

Fra The Verge:

Now, Meta CEO Mark Zucker­berg is enter­ing the race. While he doesn’t have a time­line for when AGI will be reached, or even an exact def­i­n­i­tion for it, he wants to build it. At the same time, he’s shak­ing things up by mov­ing Meta’s AI research group, FAIR, to the same part of the com­pa­ny as the team build­ing gen­er­a­tive AI prod­ucts across Meta’s apps. The goal is for Meta’s AI break­throughs to more direct­ly reach its bil­lions of users.

Fra The Wall Street Jour­nal:

"Ope­nAI out­lined lim­its on using its tools in pol­i­tics dur­ing the run-up to elec­tions in 2024, amid mount­ing con­cern that arti­fi­cial-intel­li­gence sys­tems could mass-pro­duce mis­in­for­ma­tion and sway vot­ers in high-pro­file races."

📝 Sådan arbejder NYTimes med genkendelse af håndskrift til krydsord

Fra Nie­man Lab:

“Aside from hand­writ­ing, there’s also poten­tial for inter­ac­tive fea­tures like ‘scrib­ble-to-erase’ detec­tion, in-app self-train­ing mech­a­nisms, and a whole host of oth­er doors that on-device ML in the Games app can open.”

Fra TechCrunch:

😎 Hands on med Apples VR-headset

Fra Engad­get:

We already got hands-on once back at WWDC when the head­set was first announced, but two of our edi­tors, Dana Woll­man and Cher­lynn Low, had a chance to go back and revis­it the device (and in Dana’s case, expe­ri­ence it for the first time). Since we’ve already walked you through some of the basic UI ele­ments in our ear­li­er piece, we decid­ed to focus on some of the more recent­ly added fea­tures, includ­ing Apple Immer­sive Video, the new Dis­ney+ envi­ron­ments, a built-in “Encounter Dinosaurs” expe­ri­ence, as well as the float­ing key­board, which didn’t work for us when we first tried the device in June of last year.
