    Please stop and read this. It’s from the Republican-led bipartisan Senate Intel Report Volume 5. It’s important we recognize what is happening. It was a landmark report and many of the same actors are still active and engaged.

    ps if a newsroom gets something wrong with Facebook, it gets scorched by FB comms (normally off record) and loses news opportunities in the future. I really don’t like that this may be getting mishandled because it’s a small nonprofit that was maligned. /eof

    And as always, if I have anything wrong here, tell me and I’ll own it but so far it’s been crystal clear and nearly 24hrs on a piece where they could have avoided by just reaching out for comment.

    And I’ll repeat to not be misunderstood, I’m a fan of buzzfeed. This is unusual for them in my experience. There is a lot going on right now. But it’s a mess and has served to help a company with 500+ comms/policy people and discredit one of their largest critics. Disappointed.

    Wow. After yrs of BuzzFeed building a highly respected news org, I’m just flummoxed how they’re handling this. Instead of saying “we got it wrong interpreting a tweet as supportive,” they’ve added the words, “appeared to cheer” and removed the actual comment which they owed RFOB.

    Apple called the Epic Games antitrust verdict a “huge win.” It wasn’t. My story about why the App Store remains on shaky ground:

    It’s basically like I took one word of a Buzzfeed tweet & wrote about what I thought it meant & used your photo to illustrate the story. And didn’t reach out to either you or Buzzfeed to check or ask for comment. Which would be weird, no?

    see below. I assume you’ll take a different perspective once you understand.

    Good grief, Joe. You just blew all the positive from your harpers think-piece with clickbait garbage? BuzzFeed ‘21 is better than this. You wrote an entire take-down laced with quotes from FB/Goog friendlies based on a single 💣 emoji without reaching out to the watchdog itself?

    You’ve got to be kidding. He literally wrote an entire piece based on his incorrect interpretation of the word “boom” in a tweet, never even reached out for comment on it but found time to go to FB/GOOG-defenders Goldman and Masnick for their comments? That’s absolute garbage.

    Great piece and coverage by w/ insights from and . 1/

    When I was walking manhattan in September 2001, I couldn’t fathom there would ever be a day where America would be losing over 3k people in a day and not being doing everything humanly possible as united Americans to stop it.

    Per NYT, 3,231 deaths were added to the US Covid-19 death toll on September 9th and 2,418 on September 10th. They have the 7-day average at 1,642 daily American deaths from Covid-19.

    A brilliant speech from former President Bush: "The passengers and crew of Flight 93 could have been any group of citizens selected by fate. In a sense, they stood in for us all. The terrorists soon discovered that a random group of Americans is an exceptional group of people."

    Leadership over politics. Thank you for making this statement, President Bush.

    Former President Bush in Shanksville compares Jan 6 insurrectionists to 9/11 hijackers:”in determination to defile our national symbols they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our duty to confront them.” Wow

    Yes. That’s exactly what happened.

    So you based a whole story on your interpretation of BOOM, with no BOOMChecking with them, despite their contacts being on their profile, and now can’t admit your mistake? A Senior Writer?

    Amateur hour at Buzzfeed. Unusual for them. Disappointing to see.

    Replying to @Bernstein
    Adding to your thread the RFOB’s full statement which your editors refused to run. “Claimed” in your tweet is really unnecessary! Does not feel like ‘Epistemic humility’to us.

    oh oh hello!

    but they also attached a set of responses to facebook in late 2019 which shed light on the documents and focus area for the DC Attorney General which has to make Menlo Park super super uncomfortable. This is a lot of cover-up we haven't yet seen. /3

    Of course. Nearly anything in the public domain positive about Facebook is a result of $$$. Zero trust company.

    I've now confirmed all five groups were funded by Facebook. The LGBT Technology Partnership said in an email to me today: "FB provides corporate support currently and has provided corporate support in the past. In addition, FB sponsors our PowerOn Awards."

    So to recap. Google execs: 1. Identified the problem in 2019. 2. Identified that it was illegal and immoral. 3. Decided fixing it was too much hassle and instead to just try to not get caught. 4. Put all of this in writing. 5. No execs are likely to be leaving for this.

    NEW: Google has been illegally underpaying thousands of temporary workers across dozens of countries for years. Execs knew in May 2019 that they were failing to comply with labor laws and dragged feet on changes for 2+ years.

    In any given year, I would never miss attending a game like Ohio St v Oregon but anyone who has experienced the ‘shoe with 110k people crammed in it (there is nothing like it) but it’s frankly irresponsible at this moment in September 2021.
