How to Check If Your Facebook Account Got Hacked—and How Badly [Wired]
? Skjulte Facebook sin videomålefejl?
Det her ser slet, slet ikke godt ud for Facebook:
Facebook acknowledged in 2016 that it had been overstating to advertisers the average time users spent watching videos on the platform. But when exactly Facebook found out about that error—and how long the company kept it under wraps—is now the subject of a federal district court lawsuit in California. The suit, filed earlier this week, was brought by Facebook advertisers who allege that Facebook knew about the measurement error for more than a year before it was first reported publicly in The Wall Street Journal.

? Facebook-trafik til medier er helt i bund
Facebook traffic to publishers is down so much (nearly 40%) that according to Chartbeat, “a user is now more likely to find your content through your mobile website or app than from Facebook.”
? Facebook har ansat Nick Clegg
Facebook has hired Nick Clegg, the former UK deputy prime minister, to head its global affairs and communications team as it faces escalating problems over data protection and the threat of greater government regulation.
? Kopi-sites får lavere rank på Facebook
Facebook is demoting trashy news publishers and other websites that illicitly scrape and republish content from other sources with little or no modification. Today it exclusively told TechCrunch that it will show links less prominently in the News Feed if they have a combination of this new signal about content authenticity along with either clickbait headlines or landing pages overflowing with low-quality ads.
? Facebook vil straffe sensations-annoncer
The company says any ads containing engagement bait, sensationalized language or headlines that withhold information will be penalized.
? Facebook kan bruge Portal-data til at målrette annoncer
Facebook announced Portal last week, its take on the in-home, voice-activated speaker to rival competitors from Amazon, Google and Apple.
The biggest question surrounding the device: Why should anyone trust Facebook enough to put Facebook-powered microphones and video cameras in their living room or kitchen?
? 7 tips til dig, der sender live på Facebook, Instagram og Twitter
Broadcasting live can be a little intimidating, but in this post, I’ll go over the top seven tips that have helped me go live, in order to make it a little easier for you to start sharing your own live posts (number five helped the most). And with live video content generating the most engagement – and thus, reach – on Facebook, it’s definitely worth considering.
? Svært at spore politiske annoncepenge på de store platforme
This year, Facebook, Google, and Twitter have all created archives of political ad spending on their platforms, making publicly available for the first time information about how much are spending, and how effective it is. However, the three companies have different standards when it comes to what constitutes a political ad and what information they’re making available.
? Instagram har et chikaneproblem
The platform has cast itself as the internet’s kindest place. But users argue harassment is rampant, and employees say efforts to stem it aren’t funded well or prioritized.
? Instagram tester erstatning for scroll
Jeg har tidligere blæst til kamp mod scrolling [Medieblogger], og nu tester Instagram noget lignende. Det er inspireret af det, man kender fra ‘Stories’, hvor man kommer til næste ved blot at trykke [TechCrunch].
Det er dog ikke noget, Instagram pønser på at implementere lige nu og her.
⚙️ LinkedIn opdaterer algoritmen
Ændringen skal især tilgodese dem, der har knapt så mange følgere.
This new term quantifies the value that the creator will receive from the viewer providing feedback on the post, accounting for the fact that the first few pieces of feedback are the most important, and each new response beyond the first few provides diminishing returns. Now, the feed “knows” how much a given creator will appreciate getting feedback from a given viewer, and it uses this information when ranking the posts
? Twitter offentliggør misinformation
Det sociale medie Twitter har onsdag lagt et overblik frem over alle de konti og opslag, som siden 2016 er blevet fjernet, fordi det har forsøgt at sprede misinformation.

?? Nyt Politico Europe-produkt skal give øget EU-indsigt
New monitoring technology by POLITICO Europe will offer a ‘deeper insight’ into EU legislation, stakeholders and policy developments that can become a great ressource for reporters. […]
Johannes Boege, chief product officer, POLITICO Europe said the subscription model uses the recently acquired monitoring technology of Statehill Inc. to facilitate journalists, amongst other professions, to make quick, informed decisions from one location, rather than trawling through the data sets themselves.
? The Economist deler data på Github
While we take care to identify our sources, we have not often published the data behind them. Sometimes, this is for good reason: some data are proprietary or otherwise not ours to publish. Often, we have simply not made the time to do it. This is a shame: releasing data can give our readers extra confidence in our work, and allows researchers and other journalists to check — and to build upon — our work. So we’re looking to change this, and publish more of our data on GitHub.

The original plan was that any money invested would be returned to those who bought tokens, but there is a possibility those who have invested could be offered the option of keeping their tokens and continue with the project if they wish. Even if that does happen, however, it could mean less funding for the newsrooms that have already set up shop on Civil, including the Colorado Sun, Block Club Chicago, and Popula.
