Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: A few days after the election, amid a flood of misinformation, Facebook dialed up a publisher quality score known as NEQ to make authoritative news more prominent. Now, employees wonder if the “nicer news feed” can stay. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: New by me, @MikeIsaac and @sheeraf: a post-election look inside Facebook, where internal battles are raging about how to balance the sometimes-incompatible goals of growth and goodness. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Timothy B. Lee / @binarybits: According to the NYT, Facebook knows perfectly well how to slow the spread of misinformation on its platform. It has mostly chosen not to do so because the company is run by a sociopath. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Tara McGowan / @taraemcg: 🚨 @Facebook has the ability to up-rank factual news over disinfo + HADN'T ACTIVATED IT 🤬🚨 “Days after the election, Zuckerberg agreed to increase the weight that FB's algorithm gave to NEQ scores to make sure authoritative news appeared more prominently"https://www.nytimes.com/ ...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Facebook engineers proposed a feature to notify users when they had shared false news items. “But that was vetoed by policy executives who feared it would disproportionately show notifications to people who shared false news from right-wing websites.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jan Richards / @mrsroadshow: @kevinroose @NiemanLab “Guy Rosen, a Facebook executive who oversees the integrity division that is in charge of cleaning up the platform, said on a call with reporters last week that the changes were always meant to be temporary. ‘There has never been a plan to make these permanent,’ he said.”
Jan Richards / @mrsroadshow: @kevinroose @NiemanLab Astounding that it is even a debate, whether to be less divisive, more truthful. Article has many valuable details, including...

Allum Bokhari / Breitbart: Facebook Suppressed Breitbart, Promoted CNN, Following Election

Abigail Spanberger Stan / @notcapnamerica: Facebook is hurting Democracy and they need to be regulated. https://twitter.com/...
Ellen K. Pao / @ekp: Advertisers should refuse to buy Facebook ads shown next to “bad for the world” content, especially since Facebook has a whole metric that measures it https://twitter.com/...
Isobel Asher Hamilton / Business Insider: Mark Zuckerberg reportedly signed off on a Facebook algorithm change that favored established news sites and made feeds ‘nicer’ after the election
Ben Shapiro / @benshapiro: This is the game. And if social media — the place Americans turned if they were dissatisfied with the monolithic Left-wing legacy media — wish to act as bullhorns for the legacy media and to suppress legacy media competitors, social media deserve what they get.
Jeff Hauser / @jeffhauser: I wonder what role Facebook's Regulatory Policy Director played in this? https://twitter.com/...
Jesse Lehrich / @jesselehrich: .@Facebook built tools to ‘correct the record’ on misinfo & limit ‘hate bait’ — but leadership nixed both to avoid angering the right. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Brendan Morrow / The Week: Facebook employees reportedly argue for making post-election ‘calmer, less divisive’ news feed permanent
Adam / @adamspechtacles: Facebook will always be fundamentally broken as long as it refuses to even acknowledge that disinformation is a politically asymmetric problem. You can't fix a damn thing without first recognizing the unique and tremendous reach of right-wing disinfo. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jesse Lehrich / @jesselehrich: it's not that building a less toxic platform is impossible — it's just that it's not quite as profitable. so democracy suffers, genocide is incited in Myanmar, etc. https://twitter.com/...
Ellen K. Pao / @ekp: We always knew it was possible to combat hate and misinformation—nowhere near as hard as Facebook made it seem. Now we know that Facebook actually has built a whole set of tolls for dealing with hate and misinformation but chooses not to use it https://twitter.com/...

Nate Silver / @natesilver538: One thing that's striking here is the extent to which Facebook is maximizing for short-term, measurable gains as opposed to long-term brand equity. A better news feed could result in more trust from readers, more partnerships with news organizations, higher internal morale, etc. https://twitter.com/...
Zephyr Teachout / @zephyrteachout: Our communications infrastructure should not be controlled by a profit making company whose business model is promoting addictive, conflict maximizing , heartbeat raising content. There's no solution that doesn't go to the heart of the biz model. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Cat Zakrzewski / @cat_zakrzewski: This article raises the key question: Why isn't Facebook penalizing repeat purveyors of misinformation? The company did not comment when @sheeraf asked. https://twitter.com/...
Megan Squire / @megansquire0: 3 new admissions from FB here: (a) FB admits they have a problem, names it “hate bait” (b) They know how to identify toxic comments AND the pages & posts that are boosted by them but choose not to act (c) Toxic pages & posts are primarily right-leaning https://www.nytimes.com/...
Shira Ovide / @shiraovide: This is QUITE a story about Facebook experimenting with de-emphasizing posts that users had considered “bad for the world” or “hate bait” and the internal divisions that followed. A zinger by @kevinroose, @MikeIsaac & @sheeraf https://www.nytimes.com/...
@nytimes: When Facebook asked its users to assess the value of the content they were seeing on its platform, many of them said the most visible posts were more likely to be “bad for the world” — a finding that some employees said alarmed them. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Matthew Zeitlin / @mattzeitlin: Facebook essentially uses disparate impact analysis for adjustments to the news feed with conservatives as a protected class https://twitter.com/...
Julia Carrie Wong / @juliacarriew: It's almost like Facebook is ... bad ... for the world ... https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: Facebook employees also developed a slate of tools to combat misinformation and “hate bait.” But they ran into opposition from policy executives who feared they would disproportionately impact conservatives. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Adam Serwer / @adamserwer: Perfectly happy to throttle traffic to liberal outlets for being liberal though. So it's not that they are trying to be neutral. https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Melissa Jo Peltier / @melissajpeltier: There's a reason those are the organizations & personalities it would most effect. https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Reese Jones / @politicussarah: Facebook policy execs thought combatting hate bait would disproportionately target conservatives. Because it would. And what does that say. https://twitter.com/...
Justin Hendrix / @justinhendrix: Facebook developed but did not implement tools for reducing disinformation and “hate bait” content because it determined the measures mostly impacted right wing users and publishers, reducing engagement, report @kevinroose, @MikeIsaac and @sheeraf: https://www.nytimes.com/...
Alex Hern / @alexhern: Something I think is under-discussed is how America's toxic politics harms the rest of the world through nonsense like this. https://twitter.com/...

Mark Little / @marklittlenews: In which we glimpse “a vision of what a calmer, less divisive Facebook might look like” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Yael Eisenstat / @yaeleisenstat: “The company's aspirations of improving the world are often at odds with its desire for dominance.” As I've repeatedly said since leaving Facebook: as long as there are no laws compelling them to protect democracy, FB Execs will choose growth & power. 1/2 https://www.nytimes.com/...
@nxthompson: Outside observers since 2015: Facebook needs to build better algorithmic tools to fight hate and boost quality. If not, democracy is in trouble! Facebook, Nov 2020: OK we have them. But we're not sure we want to use them. 🤷♂️ https://www.nytimes.com/...
Sheera Frenkel / @sheeraf: NEW- Remember after the election when Facebook's newsfeed suddenly seemed... nicer? That was no accident.

WarnerMedia releasing Wonder Woman 1984 on HBO Max alongside theaters signals the importance of streaming to studios and represents an emerging industry norm — The announcement that “Wonder Woman 1984” will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day is the clearest sign …

Kenneth Turan / @kennethturan: Still trying to wrap my head around big news: Warners will open “Wonder Woman 1984” on Christmas Day in both theaters and HBO Max. This may be a Rubicon that can't be uncrossed. @nicsperling explains. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Ted Hope / @tedhope: I've been saying: “The FilmBiz changed in 2020. The Studio's theatrical release single title revenue-driven model has been replaced by the Global Streamers' platform-first portfolio-based attention-driven audience acquisition model.” Now confirmed: https://www.nytimes.com/...
@soundnvision: Originally scheduled for a June 2020 release, Wonder Woman 1984 will now appear simultaneously in theaters and on the HBO Max streaming service. Are such hybrid deals the future norm for big-budget Hollywood films? https://www.soundandvision.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Mynette Louie / @mynette: In 2020, I've had one day-n-date release (@swallowmovie), one streaming release (Black Box) & one theatrical release (@icywm, which has been stuck in “coming soon” purgatory).

Snap's Spotlight daily payout breaks from TikTok's model, focusing on paying a large number of creators rather than nurturing primarily big-follower accounts — Today, let's talk about the deceptively bold way in which Snapchat has reimagined TikTok as part of its new feature, Spotlight.
Discussion:
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: What's interesting about Snapchat's Spotlight is that it puts the incentive for making videos at the level of the content, rather than the creator. It feels like a big idea. https://www.platformer.news/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Janira Planes / Truffle Season de Janira Planes: Ejemplos a no seguir — Este post, para todas las personas que estéis viendo la …
Zoe Scaman / @zoescaman: What Snap is asking with Spotlight: 1/ Can you build an engine for culture that benefits many thousands of people, rather than a few hundred? 2/ Will people post anonymously, seeking profit over fame? 3/ Is a daily lottery of $1m incentive enough? https://www.platformer.news/ ...
Codyb / @codybrown: It took a very long time to get here but Snapchat joins YouTube in deciding to pay its creators for their vids. Game on https://www.tubefilter.com/...
Ahmed Al Omran / @ahmed: Instagram mostly knows how to promote influencers; TikTok, on the other hand, spreads dances, sounds, and jokes https://www.platformer.news/ ...
Joshua J. Cohen / @joshuajcohen: The $1 million per day gets divided among the ‘top’ creators based on viewership. It's unclear how that all will actually break down, except to say that we're told top creators every day will see significant 💰. https://www.tubefilter.com/...
Abby Reutzel / @abbyreutzelwork: “The real opportunity for Snap here isn't that it incubates the next Charli D'Amelio in Spotlight — it's that thousands of creators make real money on the platform, either once or a large handful of times, & we never learn their names at all.” @platformer https://www.platformer.news/ ...

Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life: In the past few months we've seen the homogenization of social apps. LinkedIn & Twitter adding stories. Now Snapchat joins Instagram in adding TikTok style videos.

Stefania Maurizi / @smaurizi: the only good thing is that while structures might be ‘Orwellian’, they are still dumb, stupid bureaucratic animals, so in the last 5 years of my #FOIA litigation in 4 jurisdictions, I've gathered some solid evidence on how they lie
Stefania Maurizi / @smaurizi: dozens of people emailed me/sent me this article by @PeterKGeoghegan @JennaCorderoy #LucasAmin https://www.opendemocracy.net/ ...

Liam O'Dell / @liamodelluk: I think many people still don't realise that the Freedom of Information Act isn't exclusive to journalists, and that anyone can request info from the Government under the law.

Felix Salmon / @felixsalmon: The cuts begin https://twitter.com/...
Jess Brammar / @jessbrammar: The work of my Indian colleagues was one of the things I felt proudest of in our HuffPost global family, particularly as they covered Modi's India - which sorely needs more journos like them.

Indrani Basu / @indranibasu88: Six years ago, almost to the day, I joined what would be the founding team of @HuffPostIndia in New Delhi. We had two weeks to build an entire site.

Manisha Pande / @mnshap: Quite a sudden exit. What happens to all the stories on the website? I hope they find space on the https://huffpost.com/. People should be able to read them. https://twitter.com/...
Nicholas Dawes / @nicdawes: Right now, all that work has just vanished, an archive replaced by a redirect. Stunningly irresponsible by Huffpost's owners, who have until now protected its role as a home for accountability journalism in India. They need to restore access to the record as soon as possible. https://twitter.com/...
Radhika Govindrajan / @r_gov11: Such a tremendous loss. It's sad to see the shrinking of deep, reliable reporting on India. https://twitter.com/...
Lydia Polgreen / @lpolgreen: We live in an age of hyperbole, but I agree: @Amannama built something extraordinary in @HuffPostIndia and I am so jealous of whoever gets to hire him and his team next. https://twitter.com/...
