How many people had on their 2024 bingo card that the #news would be removed from the largest #FreeWebHostingCulture, globally?

Anyone else wonder why that over 20+yrs that this advertising firm could have possibly of gotten away without failing, in normal times, and grow to be the largest #CSAM #pedophile web hosting company, globally, which #MajorBrands are running away from in droves, and still exist today & profit from hosting this type of material, even after being repeatedly reported, reports ignored, zero actions, and not removed? Same pattern as always.

#FacebookFiles

Normal web hosts would be raided _immediately_ and _shut down_.

This #CSAM web hosting company would fail as an #advertising company with its assets and hardware and software, seized, immediately! 👨‍⚖️👩‍⚖️⚖️ It's stock price would plummet. Investors would divest so as to ' not be associated with a CSAM Web Hosting Company.

Good thing the DOJ has its eye on doing just that since they are absolutely monitored about such things, allegedly. /$ 👁️📄✍️👁️

From 2022: shoshana wodinsky (she/her): “honestly if i had to name the One Big Takeaway from all this shit, it’s that fb employees generally think abt algorithms *way* differently than regulators or reporters do, and tbh i think their way is… the right one ? sorry”

Largely, agreed. It turns out that messy issues are messy.

This person has experienced it, secondhand (thread)

Lese @hateaid über #SafetyByDesign "Mit ihren #Algorithmen tragen #Plattformen wesentlich zur massenhaften Verbreitung von Gewalt und Desinformation bei – und sie wissen darum: Vor rund zwei Jahren veröffentlichte das Wall Street Journal die sogenannten #FacebookFiles. Die Journalist*innen werteten in mehreren Artikeln interne Dokumente, Chatprotokolle und Präsentationen von Meta aus.

Die Unterlagen sowie Aussagen der Whistleblowerin #FrancesHaugen zeigen: Dem Unternehmen, zu dem unter anderem #Facebook und #Instagram gehören, war die schädliche Wirkung seiner Angebote bewusst. Hass und polarisierende Inhalte würden verstärkt, um eine höhere Aktivität von Nutzer*innen und Werbeeinnahmen zu erzielen, so Haugen. Hingegen würden kaum Maßnahmen ergriffen, um den Schaden einzudämmen."

Incroyable 3è livraison des #FacebookFiles ce soir !
On y apprend que la Maison Blanche a obtenu de Facebook la censure de certains journaux et journalistes pas assez covidistes !
Un mail prouve aussi que Facebook savait qu’il censurait « de vraies informations » !
Une mafia !

While discussing how sites like birdsite optimize for outrage with some folks, I remembered how helpful two #podcasts were to me in disinfo work so wanted to share more widely: #TechPolicyPress did a great tour of #algorithms https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sunday-show/id1552627235?i=1000538825998 and #WallStreetJournal did superb reporting based on #FrancesHaugen’ #whistleblowing including: https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-journal/the-facebook-files-part-4-the-outrage-algorithm/e619fbb7-43b0-485b-877f-18a98ffa773f (The complete WSJ #FacebookFiles are remarkable reporting and worth a read (I think are not paywalled?) https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039?mod=bigtop-breadcrumb

Ob beim #Hochwasser oder den #FacebookFiles, ein Blick zurück auf das Jahr zeigt vor allem menschliches Versagen im Umgang mit automatisierten Systemen. Auch 2021 wurden Algorithmen keine Zügel angelegt.
