      Wait what? Facebook "Oversight Board" is giving "embargoed" access of its *full* decisions to individual writers? Like a single person? Is that so? No. Not okay. (Not naming the person because it doesn't mean she did something wrong). But, no, no, no. We aren't their PR agents.

      Unless it's almost everyone (i.e. journalists/writers who write on this topic) that group is being "groomed" and this should be treated like the terrible PR exercise it is. Incentives matter, and this is basically how independent thinking is destroyed. FB did this with data, too.

      I understand your point, and agree, but this is how Facebook operates and has operated even with journalists. And not just them, but virtually every tech company. Some get embargoes and others don't. Playing favorites is systemic.

      First, has anyone found out how many people did get embargoed release? Second, let's look at all the publications that accept embargoes, namely every newspaper alive.

      Yes and look what access journalism has done to political reporting. I'm okay if the embargo is offered to everyone. If that's the case, I tweeted, and people would come forward and say I got it too. Plus how about avoiding journalism's worst habits.

      Fwiw- Facebook’s embargoes usually go to a dozen+ publications. The only time that isn’t the case is when a specific journalist(s) finds something on their own, brings it to FB, and then holds off on publication until FB can take action (thinking of @clarissaward).

      If they go to a broad enough group, that's fine. In that case, I'd like to know. And we should know who that group is. In this particular case, I'm particularly concerned because of what is already a dangerous journalistic practice has long been threatening academic independence.

      This happened for years with Facebook and it's (amazing) data. Academics more friendly to Facebook got access and amazing publications (easy to publish with such data). Facebook even recruited academics with that promise—data to publish for amazing pubs. Incentives matter.

          Corporate laundering of propaganda through the veneer of “independent” sources. If journalists and researchers play along they’re complicit. Contrast with Dr. @timnitGebru and Google as the lesson on what the company does if you’re insufficiently complicit
