      Silicon Valley employs liberals but that doesn't matter. When Facebook's own researchers found that "fake news, spam, clickbait and inauthentic users" were more common on the right, Facebook executives shut down their efforts. Playing the refs *works*. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/05/trumps-executive-order-isnt-about-twitter/612349/ …pic.twitter.com/BGXXNtkQL6

      Facebook employees can’t explain the company’s contortions: “‘Would it be possible to explain in more detail the interpretation of our community standards?’ one employee asked. ‘Does this post violate them but get an exemption, or is it not violating?’” https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/29/21275044/facebook-trump-tweets-employee-reaction-criticism …

      Don't let Zuckerberg peddle a 'free speech' line unchallenged. @Facebook DOES NOT have substantively different policies from @Twitter. It just doesn't enforce them. If Facebook was such a defender of free speech, why not let people speak anonymously or use pseudonyms? THREAD pic.twitter.com/dwJHRPEeET

      Very unusual for Facebook to have no comment on anything these days. 17 hours or so in and the company has nothing to say about Trump's "looting" "shooting" posts on Facebook and Instagram.

      That Trump 'looting' and 'shooting' post Twitter said broke its rules? Racking up all the likes on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook: 220,000 reactions, 47,000 shares Instagram: 345,000 likes https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/tech/facebook-violence-trump/index.html …

      The difference is pretty clear, different audiences. Zuckerberg’s Fox New appearance had an audience of one, Trump, Just like trumps executive order had primarily an audience of one, Zuckerberg. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/05/trumps-executive-order-isnt-about-twitter/612349/ … https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/1266517151218896899 …

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Oversight Board

      So if I understand this correctly, Facebook’s new oversight board, which doesn’t have the authority to investigate what should not be amplified for instigating violence, will start working sometime too close to matter or after the US election? Convenient. https://twitter.com/oversightboard/status/1266736657509875718 …?

      There are many significant issues relating to online content that we recognize people want the Board to consider. We're working hard to set the Board up to begin operating later this year so it can start considering cases referred by users and Facebook.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Oversight Board

      Or maybe the Facebook Oversight board has authority to oversee what should be removed or not amplified? Come on, we all switched to teaching online as best we can with one weeks notice—and Facebook’s oversight board cannot hold an emergency meeting now?https://twitter.com/oversightboard/status/1266736657509875718 …

      I have complicated thoughts about an oversight board for Facebook, but if they do not hold an emergency meeting right this weekend, I don’t think any of my complicated thoughts matter because the board clearly doesn’t matter. I’m not wasting my brain cells analyzing vaporware.

      Just as you were effective getting people to wear masks, you could be effective persuading them to delete their Facebook account.
