Twitter-CEOs egen profil blev kompromitteret
The Verge:
“Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s Twitter account was hacked on Friday afternoon by a group that calls itself the Chuckle Squad. The hackers tweeted racial slurs, antisemitic messages and at least one Holocaust denial from Dorsey’s account.”
Der var blandt andet tweets om at Hitler var uskyldig og meldinger om en bombe på Twitters hovedkvarter.
Årsagen var ikke, at Twitter blev hacket – men at nogen kunne udgive sig for/eller tilegne sig Dorseys telefonnummer:
I dette tilfælde er det svage led i kæden altså teleselskaberne. Derfor er det også kritisk, at Version2 kan rapportere, hvor let det kan være at få SIM-kort med andres telefonnumre.
“SIM-swapping”, hedder teknikken. Det vides dog ikke med sikkerhed, om det var det, Dorsey var udsat for — men resultatet er det samme.

Cambridge Analytica-klager startede måske tidligere
The Verge:
“The Cambridge Analytica scandal rocked Facebook when it came to light last year, but newly revealed documents containing internal Facebook conversations released jointly by Facebook and the District of Columbia attorney general show that the company was already investigating complaints about Cambridge Analytica potentially abusing data as early as September 2015, months before the December date that Facebook has repeatedly testified to.”
Rygte: Facebook arbejder på Instragram-besked-app
The Verge:
“Facebook is developing a new messaging app called Threads that is meant to promote constant, intimate sharing between users and their closest friends, The Vergehas learned. Threads, which is designed as a companion app to Instagram, invites users to automatically share their location, speed, and battery life with friends, along with more typical text, photo, and video messages using Instagram’s creative tools.”
Instagram øger annoncetrykket i Stories
Marketing Land:

Facebook og Twitter tjener (stadig) penge på kinesisk propaganda
Columbia Journalism Review:
“Xinhua placed four ads on Monday, according to BuzzFeed, saying the police have been “very restrained” in handling the riots, and calling them “heroes” for standing up to the protesters, and other state outlets have been running ads promoting the benefits of the detention and re-education camps China has set up for Uighur Muslims.
Despite its ban on state-owned media, Twitter has also apparently continued to run ads and promoted tweets from China’s state-run media outlets, according to BuzzFeed reporter Ryan Mac.”

Ingeniøren bygger login med fokus på transparens
Ingeniøren:
“Helt konkret har vi eksempelvis fravalgt oplysninger om køn og fødselsdato. Man skal slå til, hvis man ønsker et personaliseret nyhedsbrev. Vi forklarer hvad vi bruger data til, ved fremover på profilsiden at have små informations- i’er, hvor vi forklarer hvad lige præcist denne oplysning er relevant for.”
Derfor vil podcastere være med i Podimo
Journalisten:
“”Jeg tager en kæmpe chance lige nu, og jeg tror overhovedet ikke, jeg bliver rig af det,” siger Rikke Collin om de penge, hun kommer til at tjene på Podimo. Vi spurgte to podcastere, som er med fra start, hvorfor de vil være en del af Podimo”
Journalisten har også talt med Eric Ziengs, Tor Arnbjørn – og selvfølgelig Podimo:
“Podimo vil betale sine podcastere alt efter, hvor mange abonnenter der lytter til dem, og hvor stor en andel af deres tid, abonnenterne lægger hos den enkelte podcaster. Modellen ”er elendig for nichepodcastere,” siger ekspert. Indholdsdirektør hos Podimo, Nikolaj Koppel, er uenig”

“Athena er en service, som kommer fra Google. Athena lærer efterhånden, som vi kommer med input til hende. Kort fortalt en kunstig intelligens”, forklarer webudvikler, Jonas Storm Nikolajsen, der har specialiseret sig i kunstig intelligens.
Athena læser op på dansk, og selvom du aldrig er tvivl om, at det er en robot, du lytter til, er hun let at forstå. Hun lærer løbende at blive bedre til dansk, og der er mulighed for, at vi selv kan tilpasse fonetikken, hvis hun eksempelvis siger ”scannerbår” i stedet for ”Skand-er-borg”.”
EU kigger på platformenes brug af lyd
Digiday:

BT nedlægger betalingsavis på hverdage
Berlingske:
“Fremover vil avisen i hverdagene kunne tages gratis i toge, busser og rundt omkring, mens den i weekenden vil kunne købes i løssalg i en større udgave end hidtil. Abonnenterne vil fortsat få leveret avisen alle ugens dage.”
MediaWatch:
“Ansv. chefredaktør, Michael Dyrby, fortæller, at beslutningen ligger i forlængelse af den udmeldte strategi fra sidste år. Her blev det digitale område med bt.dk i centrum udpeget som trækdyr i den fremtidige strategi, mens gratisavisen Metroxpress blev rebrandet som B.T. Metro.”
Mere fra MediaWatch om BT-historien:
- Fagfolk: B.T.’s ændring af avismodellen er et naturligt skridt – men ingen sikker succes

Now it has begun to bear fruits: Dream Team retained 68% of last year’s customers this season, increasing annual audience retention rate 21% year-on-year, and won new branded content clients; however, the publisher was unwilling to share exactly how many people subscribed for the 2019 season.”
NY Times’ modsvar til Chromes incognito: Registreringer
What’s New In Publishing:
“Many of the articles are still free to view, but it appears that access to metered articles will now be registered to the account rather than the browser.
