Facebooks forlig med FTC er en joke

TechCrunch:
“The FTC just announced the details of its settlement agreement with Facebook over years of privacy practices in violation of a previous order. To say the settlement is favorable to Facebook, even with the record $5 billion penalty, is an understatement; the company’s lawyers are probably popping champagne right about now. Here’s why.”

Udviklingen ser ud til at vende for Facebook

Nieman Lab:
“It’s not easy to get Facebook strategy straight when the only constant for publishers at the company is change, and a new report from social media analytics tracking company NewsWhip underlines that. The report, which covers April through June, shows a Facebook that looks different for publishers than it did between January and March.”

Faktatjekkere vil have adgang til flere Facebook-data

Nyt CNN-show på Facebook

Digiday:
“The new show, ‘Go There,’ will air episodes weeknights Monday through Friday on Facebook. It’s a departure from the Anderson Cooper show: Aside from being formatted vertically for mobile viewing, ‘Anderson Cooper Full Circle’ was a relatively traditional news program hosted in a studio with segments recapping the day’s news. ‘Go There’ will not be that. Instead, CNN is using Facebook’s money to see if a different style of news programming — one that more closely resembles a YouTube video or Instagram Story than a TV news show — will work on Facebook.”

And this week, access to Facebook’s new search ad option appears to have been significantly expanded, with a range of Facebook advertisers reported that ‘Search’ is now an option within their Ad Placements tools.”

Social Media Today:
“That’s particularly concerning, given that in order to list yourself as a ‘business’ on the platform, you need to provide additional contact info, like a phone number or email address, which is then displayed in your publicly accessible bio.”

YouTubes seneste algoritmeændring vækker bekymring

Bloomberg:
“In early July, YouTube made a significant change to its software to boost what it deems “quality” children’s content, sending waves of traffic to certain video producers and burying other channels. The change came as the company tries to convince parents its service is safe for kids, and convince regulators that it isn’t violating the law. 

The update immediately alarmed many YouTube creators who already feel that their livelihoods hang at the whims of mysterious algorithms.”

Sådan bruger ukrainske journalister Telegram

Nieman Lab:
“The messaging app Telegram was built around the idea that communication should be personal and encrypted. But in some countries, it has also become a popular tool for journalists to create public news channels. Here are three takeaways from how that’s evolved in Ukraine.”

Skal uendeligt scroll gøres ulovligt?

Det mener en republikansk senator, der vil forbyde flere tiltag, han anser for afhængighedsskabende.

The Verge:
“Hawley’s Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology Act, or the SMART Act, would ban these features that work to keep users on platforms longer, along with others, like Snapstreaks, that incentivize the continued use of these products. If approved, the Federal Trade Commission and Health and Human Services could create similar rules that would expire after three years unless Congress codified them into law. “

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens historier og tendenser indenfor forretningsudvikling i mediebranchen. Altså det, der handler om at tjene penge.

Ekstra Bladet henter digitale abonnenter med ‘super topics’

Medieblogger:
“På det seneste har det knebet med tallene på det digitale abonnementsområde, hvor der har været faldende salg og en stadigt mindre kundebase. Men nu har Ekstra Bladet fået vendt udviklingen ved at fokusere på såkaldte ‘super topics’ – altså “superemner”, som de digitale læsere og abonnenter har stor interesse for.”

The L.A. Times har forfærdelig churn rate

Nieman Lab:
“I’m not saying people at the Los Angeles Times don’t know all of this; of course they do, and they’re investing resources into it. Maybe the infrastructure is nearly built and a turnaround is near. But signing up 52,000 new subscribers — while losing 39,000 existing ones over the same span — strongly suggests that there’s more work to do there. “

Our point of view is that the daily morning distribution model is no longer going to work in a three- to five-year timeline. That’s broad, of course, and dependent on market.'”

Macworld:
“Meanwhile, yes, Services has become an enormous business for Apple, counting for 21 percent of total revenue. Apple didn’t produce any data about how its newest service, Apple News+, is faring so far, which isn’t surprising but also suggests that they couldn’t figure out any number to disclose that would make them look good.”

Så kom Chromes forstærkede Inkognito-tilgang

I juni måned meldte Google ud, at man ville rulle en opdatering til Chrome-browseren ud, der gør det sværere at detektere den såkaldte ‘Inkognito’-tilstand, som mange bruger til at snyde sig til flere sidevisninger hos medier, der sætter en begrænsning.

Den 30. juli blev opdateringen (en del af Chrome version 76) rullet ud til brugerne.

What’s New In Publishing:
“We tested the beta version of Chrome’s next update to gauge the extent of damage that will be inflicted on publisher paywalls. To cut a long story short, things aren’t looking good.

Målinger er ikke nok: Medier spørger brugerne

Digiday:
“BI Prime members are asked how ‘valuable’ the story was, while Athletic readers are asked, ‘What did you think of this story?’ Back in 2015, Mic readers that got to the bottom of stories saw a widget that asked, ‘Was this story worth your time?’

That people were identifying with the icons’ faces made the feedback less valuable for its intended purpose. But the replies remain one of the signals The Athletic uses in its strategy. This year, the site began using the data to figure out which kinds of stories specific readers like, then serving more of those kinds of stories to subscribers using newsletters or mobile push notifications. A reader that prefers biographical back stories on athletes, for example, might be sent more of those than a newsier or more analytical item, using their story feedback as a signal.”

Her får du et kig på nogle af ugens historier indenfor den digitale udvikling og teknologi, der enten direkte eller indirekte kan have betydning for medier/udgivere.

Amazon klar med nye robotstemmer

Blandt andet en stemme, der skal lyde som en nyhedsoplæser:

Amazon Web Services:
“Speech quality is certainly important, but more can be done to make a synthetic voice sound even more realistic and engaging. What about style? For sure, human ears can tell the difference between a newscast, a sportscast, a university class and so on; indeed, most humans adopt the right style of speech for the right context, and this certainly helps in getting their message across.”

Google bygger interface til bevægelser

Wired:
“So Google, in building its next phone, wants to introduce the next big thing: a way to control our screens like an orchestra conductor brandishing an invisible baton.

When Google’s next flagship smartphone, the Pixel 4, arrives this fall, it will respond to a series of gesture interactions—a pinch of the fingers, or a wave of the hand—without the user ever needing to touch the screen.”

Datatilsynet har kig på profilering

Version2:
“Automatiske afgørelser og profilering af mennesker er blevet mere almindeligt i Danmark. Det kan blive brugt af både private virksomheder og offentlige myndigheder til at træffe beslutninger om borgeres muligheder for banklån, forsikringer, sundhedspleje og markedsføring af produkter.

Men afgørelserne og profileringen kan have konsekvenser for de personer, som de bruges på, og derfor har Datatilsynet sat særligt fokus på brugen af værktøjerne, når de tager på tilsynsbesøg i løbet af det næste halve år.”

Facebook-valuta bliver måske ikke lanceret

I juni præsenterede Facebook den nye kryptovaluta Libra – det kan du læse meget mere om i Ugerevyen fra uge 25.

Siden er den kommende valuta (der ifølge planen skal lanceres i 2020) blevet mødt af kritik fra mange sider, blandt andet amerikanske politikere.

Blandt andet derfor er Facebook nu ude at advare om, at valutaen måske ikke bliver lanceret til tiden – og måske slet ikke. Det sker i kvartalsrapporten til investorerne.

CNBC:
“In addition, market acceptance of such currency is subject to significant uncertainty. As such, there can be no assurance that Libra or our associated products and services will be made available in a timely manner, or at all. We do not have significant prior experience with digital currency or blockchain technology, which may adversely affect our ability to successfully develop and market these products and services.”
