Facebook lancerer ny satsning på videokald

The Verge:
"Face­book is rolling out a suite of new prod­ucts to expand its capa­bil­i­ties in video chat. The com­pa­ny today announced Mes­sen­ger Rooms, a tool for start­ing vir­tu­al hang­outs with up to 50 peo­ple and allow­ing friends to drop in on you when­ev­er they like. It’s also dou­bling the capac­i­ty of video calls on What­sApp from four peo­ple to eight, adding video calls to Face­book Dat­ing, and adding new live-stream­ing fea­tures to both Face­book and Insta­gram."

Facebook lod annoncører målrette mod interesserede i pseudovidenskab

The Markup:
"'We’ve tak­en down hun­dreds of thou­sands of pieces of mis­in­for­ma­tion relat­ed to COVID-19, includ­ing the­o­ries like drink­ing bleach cures the virus or that phys­i­cal dis­tanc­ing is inef­fec­tive at pre­vent­ing the dis­ease from spread­ing,' Zucker­berg wrote.

But at the very same time, The Markup found, Face­book was allow­ing adver­tis­ers to prof­it from ads tar­get­ing peo­ple that the com­pa­ny believes are inter­est­ed in “pseu­do­science.” Accord­ing to Facebook’s ad por­tal, the pseu­do­science inter­est cat­e­go­ry con­tained more than 78 mil­lion peo­ple."

"If you live out­side of India and are not par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in who owns which piece of what mobile car­ri­er, I under­stand why you may find your eyes begin­ning to glaze over here. Big com­pa­nies invest in oth­er big com­pa­nies all the time. And we’ve got this whole glob­al pan­dem­ic thing going on.

Derfor undgik Facebooks køb af Instagram antitrust-undersøgelser

Fast Com­pa­ny:
"Antitrust law was not writ­ten for mod­ern acqui­si­tions like Insta­gram.
