Her finder du historier om eller fra de store sociale platforme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kontakten mellem udgiver/afsender og modtager.

🤨 Meta tillader opfordringer til vold i Ukraine

Fra Platformer:

“On Monday morning, we reached another grim milestone in Russia’s self-inflicted isolation from the broader world: the country banned Meta-owned Instagram, making the platform inaccessible to most of its 80 million users. Today, let’s talk about how we got here — and about the dystopian policy choices that Meta and other platforms will have to make as Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine rages on.”

🛑 Facebook, YouTube og Twitter fjerner Zelenskyj-deepfake

Fra CNN:

“The deepfake spread widely online Wednesday, as noticed earlier by Vice’s Motherboard. In the video, which CNN Business has reviewed, Zelensky appears to stand behind a presidential podium and in front of a backdrop, both of which feature the Ukranian coat of arms. Wearing a green shirt, Zelensky speaks in Ukranian, appearing to tell Ukranians to put down their weapons in the weeks-old war against Russia.”

👨‍👩‍👧 Meta lancerer nye værktøjer til forældre

Fra Social Media Today:

“Meta’s rolling out a new set of parental supervision and control tools for both Instagram and Quest VR, which address key elements of concern with usage and exposure among younger users.”

🕶 Er Meta for tidligt ude med metaverset?

Fra Platformer:

“If Facebook’s core ad business were still thriving, and TikTok weren’t eating away at its user base and cultural relevance, that might not be such an issue. But with the company on the ropes in a variety of ways, any significant delays in Zuckerberg’s vision becoming reality could spell trouble for recruiting, the stock price, and more. All of which will only make building his vision of the metaverse harder. (And his competitors’ lives easier.)”

🕰 Hvorfor kom BBC så sent på TikTok?

Fra Journalism.co.uk:

“Why did it take a war for BBC News to join TikTok? Speaking to Journalism.co.uk, BBC News digital director Naja Nielsen says is because the broadcaster did not want to spread itself too thin.”

🧑‍💻 Facebook tester nyt desktop-design

Fra Mashable:

“Nearly all of the navigation elements, menus, and settings were moved to the left on the desktop version of the platform, with essentially no navigation on top of the page. I don’t remember whether I opted in for this, but I can’t find a way to roll it back, so this is what the Facebook experience looks like for me right now.”

🤔 Kan crowdsourcing give bedre YouTube-anbefalinger?

Fra VentureBeat:

“According to Le Nguyên Hoang, a scientist at the École Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausan EPFL and one of the cofounders of Tournesol, the goal is to provide a safer, more “benevolent” alternative to YouTube’s recommendations that’s powered by the sway of the crowd.”

📷 Zuckerberg: NFT’er på vej til Instagram

💡 Ny trend: Modulær journalistik

Fra Journalism.co.uk:

“The uncomfortable truth is that people rarely read past the first few paragraphs of a news article. New AI-powered technology can help us understand how to tell stories so readers pay attention”

📲 Substack vil være platform med ny app

…og Casey Newton skriver om det i sit Platformer-nyhedsbrev, der udkommer på netop Substack:

“I wince at some of the language in the Substack app; I’d never send out a newsletter if I thought it was something your email inbox should be “spared” from. For my favorite newsletters, the reverse is true. My email inbox consists mostly of things I did not ask to receive; when one of my favorite newsletters shows up there, then, I get excited.”

❌ BuzzFeed lukker News-app

Fra BuzzFeed selv:

“The BuzzFeed News app launched back in the summer of 2015, under the leadership of Stacy-Marie Ishmael. The award-winning mobile news team’s mission was to be the ‘smart friend in your pocket,’ and their thoughtful, clearheaded, and transparent approach to news quickly cultivated a loyal following.”

🌍 Europas digitale medielandskab skal kortlægges

Fra Journalism.co.uk:

🎧 Amazon melder sig ind i audiokrigen med ‘Amp’

The app, launching in beta on iOS on Tuesday, is fairly straightforward: It allows people to host their own radio-style show, with access to millions of songs free of charge. When you open the app, Amp will recommend a few live shows you might like. Hosts can take calls, switch between music and talking and generally feel like an old-school DJ.”

🎤 Mofibo indser, at den rette oplæser er vigtig

😢 Mit Nørrebro lukker

Fra MediaWatch:

“Pengene er sluppet op hos lokalmediet om livet på Nørrebro i København, og det giver derfor ikke mening at drive mediet videre, mener redaktør og udgiver Mette Trudsø. Etableringsstøtten fra Medienævnet udløb ved årsskiftet, så mediet lukker nu.”

😬 Derfor giver clickbait bagslag for lokale medier

Fra New Statesman:

“There is nothing wrong with wanting revenue or wanting to make profits. But to just try to drive traffic from anywhere with crude individual targets is to further hollow out local news, just when local papers need reinforcement. Putting a geographical limit on targets, or prioritising repeat visits, or even registrations, would create better incentives for reporters and surely could be the start of putting papers on a better financial footing, less reliant on the online ad world”

🎧 iOS 15.4 indeholder nye podcasts-funktioner

Fra Apple selv:

Browse by season on show pages. Quickly navigate to a specific season from the show page of any serialized show. […]

Filter episodes by status on show pages. You can also now filter episodes by their status — played, unplayed, downloaded, or saved — from show pages.”

💸 Aller vil løfte digitale annoncer

Fra MediaWatch:

“Mediehuset har droppet sin inhouse kreative produktionsenhed for i stedet at lægge udviklingen af nativeannoncer i hænderne på eksternt bureau i et nyt strategisk samarbejde. Målet er at løfte det digitale annoncesalg, der allerede har overhalet print, fortæller salgsdirektør. “

💳 Netflix tester flerbrugerabonnement

💵 Matas sælger annoncer via førstepartsdata

😳 Rusland truede Google og Apple

“Russian agents came to the home of Google’s top executive in Moscow to deliver a frightening ultimatum last September: take down an app that had drawn the ire of Russian President Vladimir Putin within 24 hours or be taken to prison.”
