Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz: In November, Snapchat began giving away $1 million a day to creators who posted to the app's “Spotlight” feature, which functions similarly to TikTok. But in the past months payments from Snap have dried up, making FB's bonus program potentially enticing https://www.nytimes.com/...
@coopercooperco: I wonder what facebook's numbers look like these days. I haven't used it in so long but still have it on my phone so it's constantly sending me friend suggestions on what feels like an attempt to make me open it. Hasn't worked. https://twitter.com/...

Discussion:
Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: I wrote about the behind-the-scenes fights at Facebook over CrowdTangle, data access, and what happened when a Twitter account showed a side of the platform execs didn't like. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Laura Hazard Owen / Nieman Lab: “At first, Facebook was happy that I and other journalists were finding its tool useful...but the mood shifted”
Felix Salmon / @felixsalmon: “several executives, including the head of Facebook's news feed, were dispatched to argue with me on Twitter” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brandy Zadrozny / @brandyzadrozny: You may not understand why this @kevinroose piece is a big deal. Think of every big story about disinfo you've read in the last few years. Most all relied on CrowdTangle in some way. Now it seems like Facebook wants to cut off that transparency. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Molly McKew / @mollymckew: FB has used control of their data to control what research can be done. That has come with more and more limitations and requirements, even as it dries up. It's pretty clear they believe that can effectively manage/sculpt the entire spectrum of “independent” research on FB https://twitter.com/...
OsoMe / @osome_iu: Like other disinformation researchers, we at the Observatory on Social Media use CrowdTangle data to study online abuse and manipulation. This report is troubling. https://twitter.com/...
Sara Morrison / @saramorrison: Facebook's transparency ends when the bad press begins. This is what self-regulation gets you. https://twitter.com/...
Nilay Patel / @reckless: All of this is even funnier when you consider Facebook *bought* CrowdTangle and spent tons of effort trying to get media people to use it so we'd make more stuff that would trend on Facebook https://www.nytimes.com/...
Eli Pariser / @elipariser: Lots in this @kevinroose writeup on Crowdtangle. But boy, the part where Facebook's CMO writes that more data transparency will mean more negative stories — and instead FB should basically curate data in its favor — sure doesn't sound great. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Moira Whelan / @moira: .@kevinroose's piece is one take. But I can say categorically that a reduction of effort on Crowdtangle would hurt democracy around the world. I hope @Facebook hears that message.
Moira Whelan / @moira: .@NDItech uses Crowdtangle as one of our tools to look at disinformation around the world. This is just a snapshot. https://www.ndi.org/...
Sara Fischer / @sarafischer: Most chaotic thing I've read about FB in long time. Journalists have been told over & over that Crowdtangle data is misleading because doesn't show reach. To read that reach metrics may have showed same patterns internally feels problematic, via @NYTimes https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jane Lytvynenko / @janelytv: “the tool fell out of favor with influential Facebook executives around the time of last year's presidential election, when journalists and researchers used it to show that pro-Trump commentators were spreading misinformation and hyperpartisan commentary with stunning success.” https://twitter.com/...
@nytimesbusiness: CrowdTangle, a Facebook-owned data tool that reveals user engagement levels with right-wing media, was the cause of a yearlong battle among Facebook executives over data transparency, and how much the social network should reveal about its inner workings. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Moira Whelan / @moira: Starving it of resources is the absolute opposite of what should happen if we have any hope of addressing disinformation. The tool has helped civil society identify patterns, find out who's leading attacks, and empower them to identify changes @Facebook needs to make.
Dell Cameron / @dellcam: For years, Facebook's been able to hand a certain class of reporter a press release saying stuff like “Facebook bans Nazis,” and it's next day's front page. Routinely, about six months later, we find out that enforcement effort is going very poorly. And the cycle repeats.
Jared Holt / @jaredlholt: This story, unfortunately, reflects a growing pattern at Facebook. When researchers/journalists use the transparency tools and find bad trends or tidbits, the company restricts the transparency rather than grapple with the core issues https://www.nytimes.com/...
Bill Russo / @billr: Been laughing all morning about the fact that the Integrity Team is where transparency projects go to die. https://twitter.com/...
Erin Mccann / @mccanner: “... Facebook's executives were more worried about fixing the perception that Facebook was amplifying harmful content than figuring out whether it actually was amplifying harmful content.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Alex Kaplan / @alkapdc: “Several executives proposed making [Facebook] reach data public on CrowdTangle, in hopes that reporters would cite that data instead of the engagement data ... One issue was that false and misleading news stories also rose to the top of those lists.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
@baybarsorsek: All verified signatories to @factchecknet has been provided with access to @crowdtangle and the service is essential to their work in detecting mis/disinformation in 60+ countries. I wholeheartedly hope that the service will remain up and running. https://twitter.com/...
Joan Donovan / @bostonjoan: Great new story from @kevinroose about the tribulations of Crowdtangle and the receding tide of transparency. “blaming a data tool for these revelations makes no more sense than blaming a thermometer for bad weather.” (I love this analogy.) https://www.nytimes.com/...
Donie O'Sullivan / @donie: “One of the main reasons that I left Facebook is that the most senior leadership in the company does not want to invest in understanding the impact of its core products” —an important story from @kevinroose https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brooke Binkowski / @brooklynmarie: What's awesome here is that because we don't take @Facebook's money over at @erumors, we are free to point out that they have done this all along and should never have been considered to be acting in good faith for any reason. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Must-read from @kevinroose. Bottom line, per his sources, “Facebook's executives were more worried about fixing the perception that Facebook was amplifying harmful content than figuring out whether it actually was amplifying harmful content...” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: Incredible @kevinroose story about how Facebook sidelined and gutted CrowdTangle after he consistently used it to show how conservative outrage-bait got more engagement than other pages https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Nick Statt / @nickstatt: This excellent @kevinroose feature on Crowdtangle is among the most damning Indictments of FB leadership I've ever read. Just repeated, nonstop refusal from execs to acknowledge that the worst stuff on the site rises to the top no matter the metric. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jesse Thorn / @jessethorn: This is really important: instead of moving toward transparency and fighting disinformation, Facebook is trying to hide the ways its platform distorts the truth. Read this. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Deepa Seetharaman / @dseetharaman: “Facebook would love full transparency if there was a guarantee of positive stories and outcomes,” Mr. Boland said. “But when transparency creates uncomfortable moments, their reaction is often to shut down the transparency.” Excellent story here. https://twitter.com/...
Carrie Brown / @brizzyc: “CrowdTangle's data made this echo chamber easier for outsiders to see and quantify. But it didn't create it, or give it the tools it needed to grow — Facebook did — and blaming a data tool for these revelations makes no more sense than blaming a thermometer for bad weather.” https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: If internal data shows far-right content is the most engaging (Cf @FacebooksTop10) & false news & misinfo is most popular, @Facebook has more than a comms or image problem: its growth & huge profits are correlated with rage & lies that erode democracies. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Moira Whelan / @moira: Crowdtangle in the US political context is one thing. But what is disturbing is how much this drives decision-making in what is a global company.
@gizmodo: Facebook Knifes Its Own Analytics Tool to Hide Its Ben Shapiro Problem https://gizmodo.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: This is not good. I do have problems with the methodology of the top 10 lists (we have no idea how many people see them) but more transparency with better analysis is necessary. Inside Facebook's Data Wars https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Brian Boland, a former VP in charge of partnerships strategy at FB, says “one of the main reasons that I left Facebook is that the most senior leadership in the company does not want to invest in understanding the impact of its core products.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Sarah Frier / @sarahfrier: “Facebook's executives were more worried about fixing the perception that Facebook was amplifying harmful content than figuring out whether it actually was amplifying harmful content.” this is such a theme within FB. Looking in the mirror and blaming the mirror for what they see. https://twitter.com/...
Dell Cameron / @dellcam: Civil rights groups I've been speaking w/ for years - who've had direct access to Mark, Sheryl & other top officials - consistently say Facebook is impeding transparency around enforcement of new policies, which nevertheless earn it big PR-positive headlines at major publications https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Gilbert / Insider: Facebook execs weren't happy when their own data showed it perpetuates a right-wing echo chamber
Olivia Solon / @oliviasolon: It's not surprising that there are Facebook execs who don't like CrowdTangle, one of the only tools that brings a modicum of transparency to engagement metrics on an otherwise opaque platform, but it's fascinating to read about it @kevinroose https://www.nytimes.com/...
