Facebook køber GIPHY

TechCrunch:
"Face­book will acquire Giphy, the web-based ani­mat­ed gif search engine and plat­form provider, Face­book con­firmed today, in a deal worth around $400 mil­lion, accord­ing to a report by Axios. Face­book said it isn’t dis­clos­ing terms of the deal. Giphy has grown to be a cen­tral source for share­able, high-engage­ment con­tent, and its ani­mat­ed response gifs are avail­able across Facebook’s plat­forms, as well as through oth­er social apps and ser­vices on the web."

50 mio. opdateringer med corona-misinformation i april

NBC News:
"Face­book put mis­in­for­ma­tion warn­ing labels on about 50 mil­lion pieces of con­tent relat­ed to COVID-19 dur­ing the month of April, the com­pa­ny announced Tues­day.

The social net­work­ing site attach­es these warn­ings to posts shar­ing arti­cles that have been reviewed by the company’s inde­pen­dent fact-check­ing part­ners. The com­pa­ny said that the warn­ings great­ly reduce the num­ber of peo­ple who view the orig­i­nal con­tent."

– Face­books AI er dog udfor­dret af mis­in­for­ma­tion om COVID-19 og coro­n­avirus, men det er den ikke alene om:

"The chal­lenge reveals the lim­i­ta­tions of AI-based con­tent mod­er­a­tion. Such sys­tems can detect con­tent sim­i­lar to what they’ve seen before, but they founder when new kinds of mis­in­for­ma­tion appear. In recent years, Face­book has invest­ed heav­i­ly in devel­op­ing AI sys­tems that can adapt more quick­ly, but the prob­lem is not just the company’s: it remains one of the biggest research chal­lenges in the field."

Civil forsøgte men kunne ikke redde journalistikken

Study Hall / Patre­on:
"Civ­il was intro­duced in 2017 as an inno­v­a­tive force that would sim­i­lar­ly use cryp­to to save jour­nal­ism. [...] With its blockchain-enabled CMS and cus­tom cur­ren­cy — the CVL token, built on the Ethereum blockchain — Civ­il promised to res­cue the ail­ing indus­try from the clutch­es of Face­book and Google by facil­i­tat­ing crowd-sup­port­ed news­rooms, plac­ing pow­er in the hands of actu­al jour­nal­ists. [...]

Civ­il indeed helped launch a hand­ful of pub­li­ca­tions, but it fell short on its promise to solve the media industry’s prob­lems by find­ing a viable, alter­na­tive fund­ing mod­el. This might be because Civil’s mis­sion was always more about inves­ti­gat­ing the via­bil­i­ty of cryp­tocur­ren­cy."

Danske Medier kritiserer lovforslag om markedsføring af kviklån

– Høringss­varet er på 4 sider, men jeg har val­gt at citere den del, der han­dler om pro­gram­ma­tisk annon­cer­ing, som vil være et af de store ben­spænd for det, der fores­lås. (Bemærk: Høringss­varet blev sendt 21. feb­ru­ar, men Danske Medi­er delte det i denne uge i deres nyheds­brev.)

Danske Mediers høringss­var (PDF):
"Danske Medi­er skal i den forbindelse hen­vise til, at der med lov­forslaget lægges op til, at det er den enkelte for­brugslånsvirk­somhed, der har ans­varet for at sikre sig, at der ikke købes reklametid eller sker anden markeds­føring i forbindelse med markeds­føring af spil eller spilud­by­dere.

Dette er dog ikke så enkelt som det lyder, og lovbe­mærkningerne synes at afspe­jle en man­glende ind­sigt i det tekniske set-up i såv­el pro­gram­mat­ic samt ved online reklame book­ing direk­te hos medi­et, der ikke gør det muligt for annon­cør­erne at få ind­b­lik i sam­men­hæn­gen med andre reklamer, spon­so­rater m.v.

Forslaget vil der­for i prak­sis vælte hele ans­varet over på medieplat­formene, der vil skulle anvende et uforholdsmæs­sigt ressource­for­brug i et forsøg på at undgå overtrædelser af markeds­førings­for­bud­det."

"Does this mean that news con­sumers have lost inter­est in what theSkimm has to offer or that it no longer puts out a good prod­uct? Not exact­ly. Instead, I think these recent devel­op­ments sug­gest that the out­let fell vic­tim to the same mis­takes made by com­pa­nies like Mash­able and Mic; name­ly, it took on too much VC mon­ey too ear­ly, which caused it to expand out­side its core busi­ness just so it could jus­ti­fy its lofty val­u­a­tions."
