Der er oprør i Facebook
– Her startede det:
Protocol:
“Jason Toff, a director of product management at Facebook (and a longtimer in Silicon Valley, with stints at Google, Twitter and Vine) tweeted on Sunday night that ‘I work at Facebook and I am not proud of how we’re showing up. The majority of coworkers I’ve spoken to feel the same way. We are making our voice heard.'”

– Her er, hvad det især handler om:
Columbia Journalism Review:
“The most important of the refs, arguably, is basically leaving Trump alone. Last Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, went on Fox News and disagreed with Twitter’s fact-checking decision; the platforms, he said, should not be ‘arbiters of truth’ online. Then, early on Friday, Trump raised the stakes. As protests intensified in Minneapolis and elsewhere, the president posted an identical message—“when the looting starts, the shooting starts”—on both Twitter and Facebook. Twitter quickly concluded that Trump had breached its rules on glorifying violence, and, in an unprecedented step, hid his tweet behind a warning message. Facebook left the post up.”
Casey Newton / The Interface (The Verge):
“Zuckerberg said that Facebook left the post up for two reasons: one, that “people need to know if the government is planning to deploy force.” And two, that Trump had sort of (maybe?) walked back his original post in a later one, “saying that the original post was warning about the possibility that looting could lead to violence.” So whether or not Trump meant to incite violence with his words, Zuckerberg argued, Facebook had good reason to let the post stand.”

– Tirsdag forsvarede Zuckerberg sin beslutning overfor Facebooks medarbejdere:
The Verge:
“According to a recording obtained by The Verge, Zuckerberg described being upset by Trump’s recent posts, one of which warned protesters that ‘when the looting starts, the shooting starts.’ But ‘I knew that I needed to separate out my personal opinion … from what our policy is and the principles of the platform we’re running are — knowing that the decision that we made was going to lead to a lot of people being very upset inside the company and a lot of the media criticism we’re going to get,’ said Zuckerberg. ‘Likely this decision has incurred a massive practical cost for the company to do what we think is the right step.'”

Seemingly, any emails you do send through this process will be delivered via your ‘business.mailbyfb.com’ email address which is attached to your account, though as noted, any email contacts need to be manually uploaded. You can’t simply use the emails that people have listed on their Facebook profiles.”
#BlackoutTuesday overdøvede #BlackLivesMatter på Instagram
Wired:
“The posts had completely overtaken the #blacklivesmatter hashtag, ‘flooding out all of the resources that have been there for the last few years,’ says Williams. ‘It’s really frustrating to have carved out this area of the internet where we can gather and then all of a sudden we see pages and pages and pages of black squares that don’t guide anyone to resources.’ Around 1 am on the West Coast, Williams tweeted about it. ‘Do not post black squares with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter. You’re [unintentionally] quite literally erasing the space organizers have been using to share resources. Stop it. Stop.'”

? Udvikling og tech
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.
Chrome nærmer sig dominans
– Ingen browser har haft så stor en markedsandel siden 2008. Dengang var det Internet Explorer 7.

Kryptering i Zoom bliver kun for dem, der betaler

Google fjerner Android-app, der fjernede kinesiske apps

Ny teknologi kan identificere kendte på video
– Det mest vilde ved det her er næsten, at der stadig er noget, der hedder Real.
VentureBeat:
“RealNetworks has unveiled two consumer video tools that use artificial intelligence to identify faces of celebrities in videos and help you figure out who you’re watching.”
Nu er der også svindel på Spotify – falske “collaborations”
Medium / OneZero:
“If you’ve just discovered rising Dallas rapper Lil Loaded, and want to hear a bunch of his hits in one convenient spot, Spotify has just the feature for you. Like many popular artists, there’s a “This Is” playlist for the MC, a grouping of his ‘essential tracks’ that the platform’s team creates. However, listen to the playlist for a while, and a few songs sound out of place. In fact, though tracks 12, 14, and 16 on ‘This Is Lil Loaded’ list Lil Loaded as a featured artist, he’s not on them at all. Instead, you’ll only hear some truly wince-worthy rhymes from some entirely different artist who goes by the name ‘Wali Da Great.'”
Derfor måtte Apple skrue ned for automatisering
The Information:
“Apple has tried to assemble its products with robots rather than humans, going so far as to build a secret lab to research the effort. But after years of trial and error, engineers have realized that products like the iPhone are still best assembled by hand.”
