? Efterspillet efter sidste uges store Facebook-historie

 

Den helt store historie i sidste uge var The New York Times’ artikel om, hvordan Facebook angiveligt går langt i kampen mod kritikere.

Her får du nogle af artiklerne om efterspillet:

Internal Facebook memo sees outgoing VP of comms Schrage take blame for hiring Definers
“He admits to having the company push negative narratives about competitors, but says Facebook did not ask or pay Definers to publish fake news.”
TechCrunch

Embattled and in over his head, Mark Zuckerberg should — at least — step down as Facebook chairman
“Some Facebook investors are calling — again, and more vehemently — for a change at the top. If Zuckerberg is to stay at the helm, they at least want him to give up his dual role as CEO and chairman. Step down as chairman and appoint an independent director to oversee the board.”
The Washington Post

Mark Zuckerberg defends his C-suite and says Sheryl Sandberg isn’t going anywhere
“[…] CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he intends to stay on as chairman and that his No. 2, Sheryl Sandberg, isn’t going anywhere either.”
CNN

Now eight parliaments are demanding Zuckerberg answers for Facebook scandals
““We note that while your letter states that you are ‘not able to be in London’ on 27th, it does not rule out giving evidence per se. Would you be amenable to giving evidence via video link instead?” the grand committee writes now.”
TechCrunch

Advertisers unfazed by latest Facebook bombshell
“The social network is unlikely to lose any marketing dollars despite being rocked by yet another scandal”
Ad Age

Yes, Facebook made mistakes in 2016. But we weren’t the only ones.
Skrevet af Alex Stamos, der indtil august var chef for sikkerhed hos Facebook.
The Washington Post

The Facebook Movie Told Us What We Needed to Know About Mark Zuckerberg
“When I streamed the movie the other day, I found my sympathies had shifted. Eight years (and many apology tours) later, “The Social Network” takes on a whole new meaning.”
The New York Times

What Comes Next for Facebook?
“In that sense, maybe this latest controversy will blow over, and we’ll all move on and continue using Facebook as normal. Because Facebook itself holds all that data too, they are the ones with the most control over user influence.”
Social Media Today

Zuckerberg Defends Company in Friday Meeting With Employees
“Mr. Zuckerberg made it clear that Facebook would not hesitate to fire employees who spoke to The New York Times or other publications. But after an employee asked whether the company should issue a report about how many leakers Facebook had found and fired, Mr. Zuckerberg played down the idea.”
The New York Times

Et makkerpar i toppen af Facebook har skabt stribevis af skandaler
“Mens Mark Zuckerberg det seneste år har gået offentlig bodsgang for Facebooks læk og misbrug af brugernes personlige data og manipulation af det amerikanske valg, har Sheryl Sandberg tilsyneladende taget sig af det beskidte arbejde hjemme i Silicon Valley.”
Politiken

 


⏱️ Facebook ruller tids-tracking ud

 

After Facebook announced in August that it was working on activity trackers so that users could see how much time they’re spending on the Instagram and Facebook apps, the company confirmed that the feature is starting to roll out. Called “Your Time on Facebook,” it is starting to roll out now to the latest versions of the Facebook Android and iOS apps over the next few weeks.

? Bliver 2018 Facebook-gruppens år?

 

I så fald skyldes det Facebooks store algoritmeændring fra starten af året.

The move actively distanced brands from their followers on the platform by limiting exposure to organic content posted by businesses. At first glance, the only solution for brands was to invest more in their Facebook ad campaigns, but some businesses have found an alternative to connect with their audience by building vibrant Facebook Group communities.
