Del 1: Sociale medier 

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.

Bemærk: De his­to­ri­er, der han­dler om annon­cer­ing på sociale medi­er (fx advarsler mod annon­cer­ing på Twit­ter, Tik­Toks vækst i annon­ceindt­jen­ing etc.) find­er du under 'Business'-delen af denne uges Ugerevy.

✂ Meta-sparerunde er et nyt skridt væk fra medierne

Fra Nie­man Lab:

"Among the mass lay­offs at the com­pa­ny for­mer­ly known as Face­book last week are sev­er­al roles that have served as a bridge between the news indus­try and the sprawl­ing tech com­pa­ny. [...]

The lay­offs are anoth­er step in Meta’s jour­ney to get the heck away from news. Meta, which promised $300 mil­lion in sup­port of local jour­nal­ism back in 2019 when it was still Face­book, has shift­ed resources away from its News tabshut­tered the Bul­letin newslet­ter pro­gramend­ed sup­port for Instant Arti­cleselim­i­nat­ed human-cura­tion in favor of algo­rithms, and stopped pay­ing U.S. pub­lish­ers to use their news con­tent."

👊 Facebook vil af med ulovlige lånegrupper

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Ifølge poli­tisk chef i Face­books mod­er­sel­skab, Meta, er man i dia­log med bl.a. Finanstil­synet om at bekæmpe prob­le­mer med grup­per, hvor brugerne udby­der ulovlige lån ."

🤯 Meta-ansatte fyret for at overtage brugerkonti

Det lyder... vildt.

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Meta har i løbet af det sid­ste år fyret eller dis­ci­plineret flere end to dusin ansat­te og entre­prenør­er, som sel­sk­a­bet beskylder for uret­mæs­sigt at overtage brugerkon­ti, i nogle til­fælde angiveligt for bestikkelse."

🤔 Trumps kandidatur får betydning for Facebooks faktatjek

Fra CNN:

"Facebook’s fact-check­ers will need to stop fact-check­ing for­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump fol­low­ing the announce­ment that he is run­ning for pres­i­dent, accord­ing to a com­pa­ny memo obtained by CNN.

While Trump is cur­rent­ly banned from Face­book, the fact-check ban applies to any­thing Trump says and false state­ments made by Trump can be post­ed to the plat­form by oth­ers."

💳 TikTok lancerer in-app-butikker i USA

Fra Social Media Today:

"While its in-app shop­ping expe­ri­ence hasn’t caught on as it would have hoped just yet, Tik­Tok is slow­ly expand­ing its in-app shop­ping options, and mak­ing in-stream com­merce a big­ger focus, with the plat­form launch­ing the first stage of its Tik­Tok Shops inte­gra­tion in the US late last week."

😬 TV 2 bliver (stadig) misbrugt i annonce på YouTube

Fra Medi­et Markeds­føring:

"Man kan på YouTube stadig se fal­sk annonce, hvor TV 2’s logo bliv­er mis­brugt – selvom YouTube i sid­ste uge for­t­alte, den var fjer­net. Sam­tidig er ny annonce kom­met til. Google, der ejer YouTube, beklager."

🤷‍♂️ Hvad skal danske virksomheder gøre i Twitter-kaosset?

Fra Medi­et Markeds­føring:

"Twit­ter er ramt af mas­sive annon­cør- og brand safe­ty-prob­le­mer, som risik­er­er at ramme danske brands. Sådan siger dig­i­tal spe­cial­ist og jour­nal­ist Lars K. Jensen, der anbe­faler danske virk­somhed­er at sætte sig indgående ind i far­erne ved plat­for­men."

😳 Musk til ansatte: Arbejd ekstremt "hardcore" eller sig op

Fra The Wash­ing­ton Post:

"Twit­ter is shift­ing to an engi­neer-dri­ven oper­a­tion — one that 'will need to be extreme­ly hard­core' going for­ward, accord­ing to the mid­night email, which was obtained by The Wash­ing­ton Post. Employ­ees were asked to click an icon and respond by Thurs­day if they want­ed to stay."

👋 Mange Twitter-ansatte siger farvel efter Musks ultimatum

Prob­lemet er angiveligt så stort, at Musk er beg­y­n­dt at holde møder med nøglemedar­be­jdere, hvis opsigelser ville være kri­tiske for Twit­ter.

Fra The Verge:

"Hun­dreds of Twitter’s remain­ing employ­ees have resigned ahead of Elon Musk’s “extreme­ly hard­core” cul­tur­al reset of the com­pa­ny, accord­ing to inter­nal Slack mes­sages seen by The Verge and employ­ee tweets."

⚽ Twitter gruer for VM

Fra The Infor­ma­tion:

"But now Twit­ter is oper­at­ing with few­er than half the staff it had a month ago, rais­ing ques­tions about its abil­i­ty to han­dle the like­ly surge next week. Musk insti­tut­ed deep staff cuts two weeks ago after he took con­trol of the com­pa­ny, and more have left Twit­ter since then.

Musk’s lay­offs dec­i­mat­ed the team that over­sees Twitter’s tech­ni­cal infra­struc­ture, with as much as 80% of its staff cut, accord­ing to employ­ee esti­mates."

👋 Twitter trues af brugerflugt

Fra MIT Tech­nol­o­gy Review:

"Esti­mates from Bot Sen­tinel sug­gest that more than 875,000 users deac­ti­vat­ed their accounts between Octo­ber 27 and Novem­ber 1, while half a mil­lion more were sus­pend­ed."

Fra Wash­ing­ton Post:

"The phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal giant halt­ed ad spend­ing after fake blue-check accounts went viral. For $8, Twit­ter is ‘los­ing out on mil­lions of dol­lars in ad rev­enue,’ a for­mer Eli Lil­ly offi­cial said."

😧 Mediefolk og debattører drukner i falske følgere

Fra Jour­nal­is­ten:

"De sen­este dage har alt fra chefredak­tør­er til min­dre pro­fil­er på Twit­ter og Insta­gram fået tusind­vis af falske føl­gere"

😞 En del af vores historie går tabt, hvis Twitter forsvinder

Fra MIT Tech­nol­o­gy Review:

"Almost from the time the first tweet was post­ed in 2006, Twit­ter has played an impor­tant role in world events. The plat­form has been used to record every­thing from the Arab Spring to the ongo­ing war in Ukraine. It's also cap­tured our pub­lic con­ver­sa­tions for years.

But experts are wor­ried that if Elon Musk tanks the com­pa­ny, these rich seams of media and con­ver­sa­tion could be lost for­ev­er. Giv­en his admis­sion to employ­ees in a Novem­ber 10 call that Twit­ter could face bank­rupt­cy, it’s a real and present risk."

😳 Elon Musk fyrer ansatte, der kritiserer ham

Fra Giz­mo­do:

"Twit­ter own­er Elon Musk can add anoth­er title to his already long list: Big Broth­er. On Tues­day, the social media boss showed his employ­ees that he was always watch­ing what they were say­ing on Twitter’s inter­nal chan­nels, espe­cial­ly if they were talk­ing smack about him."

Fra Plat­former-artiken "Elon's para­noid purge":

"Musk has become obsessed with the idea that his employ­ees might sab­o­tage the site, they said, lead­ing to near-total freeze on writ­ing and ship­ping code and fir­ings of any­one sus­pect­ed of being dis­loy­al.

In truth, sev­er­al employ­ees told me, the real­i­ty is the oppo­site: many work­ers are hang­ing on large­ly because they still believe in Twitter’s promise and feel a respon­si­bil­i­ty to keep the site up and run­ning dur­ing a peri­od of intense tur­moil."

🤔 Forfatter til Musk-biografi: Jeg tror, han kæmper med sig selv

Inter­view med Ash­lee Vance — Fra Recode:

"I think he’s bat­tling with his own self. It’s sort of like I talked about ear­li­er: Now that the full Elon is out in the world, there’s just no rein­ing it back in. And he kind of can’t con­trol him­self on some of that.

I think the cen­tral bat­tle he faces right now is that he wants Twit­ter to be sort of sep­a­rate from his per­son­al­i­ty and for peo­ple to judge it that way. And he doesn’t seem to get that that’s impos­si­ble. The only way maybe that works is if some­body else is CEO of the com­pa­ny and he’s not talk­ing about Twit­ter on a day-to-day basis. But he just doesn’t seem to get that this is all inter­twined."

😒 Mastodon er alt for kompliceret

I en tid, hvor det sejler hos Twit­ter, er nogle beg­y­n­dt at lede efter alter­na­tiv­er. Mastodon er en af dem — og det her lyder som den oplevelse, jeg hør­er om fra flere.

Fra Fast Com­pa­ny:

"My mis­sion was to ana­lyze how the social platform’s user expe­ri­ence used fric­tion that could, in the­o­ry, weed out the trolls and the low­est-com­mon-denom­i­na­tor users who make social media such a tox­ic expe­ri­ence almost by design. This would make Mastodon a bet­ter expe­ri­ence over­all. And it is—if you are masochist, that is. The Mastodon UX doesn’t feel like fric­tion. It feels like flog­ging. "

Tracks that don’t require attri­bu­tion are denot­ed by the YouTube logo and tracks that require attri­bu­tion are denot­ed by the Cre­ative Com­mons logo, which is made of the let­ters CC with a cir­cle around them."

🕹 Hvad kan medierne lære af gaming?

Det er en gam­mel traver efter­hån­den, men lad os da bare tage en tur til 🙂

Fra Journalism.co.uk:

"Jour­nal­ists have used games to tell sto­ries since the ear­ly 2000s but so-called news­games, games that fold jour­nal­ism into game­play, are yet to con­vince edi­tors to add them to their every­day cov­er­age. [...]

User expe­ri­ence and design researcher at BBC Sounds, Nick Don­ald­son, said: 'Games have wins and loss­es, and this is exact­ly what makes them so con­nect­ed to your brain’s dopamine response.

But that idea of a clear win and loss is not eas­i­ly trans­fer­able to the world of media so it’s hard­er to repli­cate. Instead, the met­rics are emo­tion­al: what makes us laugh, what makes us feel we under­stand the world.'"

The pub­lish­er will have a spe­cial episode of its pop­u­lar ani­mat­ed series 'The Cham­pi­ons,' as well as a new, short­er-for­mat show called 'Cham­pi­ons Chat' and quick skits to keep up with the games."

😬 Endnu usikkert hvad krisen betyder for annoncemarkedet

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Den økonomiske krise med udsigt til poten­tiel reces­sion har sat gang i flere bøl­ger på annon­ce­markedet. Nogen annon­cør­er spar­er eller stop­per helt med at reklamere, men for andre er det der­i­mod det per­fek­te tid­spunkt til at skrue op."

🤔 Studie: Kontekst og indhold er stadig vigtigt ifm. annoncer

TikTok’s ad rev­enue this year is expect­ed to eclipse that of rivals like Twit­ter and Snap, although its busi­ness remains small com­pared with Google and Meta, which owns Face­book and Insta­gram."

😬 Problemer med SMS-delen af Twitters to-faktor-sikkerhed

Hvis man gerne vil beskytte sine dig­i­tale oplysninger og pro­fil­er bedre (og det bør man), kan man bruge to-fak­tor-sikker­hed ved login. Kort for­t­alt bety­der det, at man skal have adgang til en anden fak­tor (for eksem­pel en mobil­tele­fon eller e‑mailindbakke) for at kunne logge ind.

Lige­som vi kender det fra NemID og MitID.

I ugens løb skete der udfald på SMS-delen af Twit­ters to-fak­tor-sikker­hed. Det vil sige, at nogle af de brugere, der får en SMS tilsendt med en kode for at kunne logge ind, ikke kunne logge ind.

Wired skrev om prob­lemet mandag, og Twit­ter Sup­port har siden meldt ud, at to-fak­tor-sikker­he­den virk­er, og at man under­søger prob­le­mer hos dem, der ikke får SMS'en med koden.

MIT Tech­nol­o­gy Review har tidligere skrevet, at tekniske udfald kan blive det, der forår­sager Twit­ters kol­laps.
