MoJ orders deletion of UK’s largest court reporting archive
Interesting to compare this to government dismay when Meta shut down CrowdTangle; apparently government hates being held to account by third parties:
#censorship #courtsDesk #crowdTangleEnda Leahy, the Courtsdesk chief executive […said]: “We built the only system that could tell journalists what was actually happening in the criminal courts. “HMCTS’s own data proves they can’t do it — their records were accurate 4.2 per cent of the time, 1.6 million cases were heard without any advance notice to the press.
… An HMCTS spokesman said that the press always had and would retain full access to information from the courts to ensure accurate reporting.

🎙️ And speaking of podcasts, I've also appeared on Episode 5 of the @qutdmrc's new podcast series Read Them Sideways (geddit ? :-), talking to @svegaard about the consequences of Meta's closure of #CrowdTangle in favour of its new Content Library.
Available through Spotify and from all major podcast services – and check out the other episodes too:

“For years, #CrowdTangle has represented an industry best practice for real-time platform transparency. It has become a lifeline for understanding how #disinformation, hate speech, and voter suppression spread on Facebook, undermining civic discourse and democracy,” https://apnews.com/article/meta-crowdtangle-research-misinformation-shutdown-facebook-977ece074b99adddb4887bf719f2112a

RIP #crowdtangle
Meta shut down CrowdTangle, a widely used tool for tracking misinformation on Facebook and Instagram, replacing it with the Meta Content Library (MCL). The new tool excludes most journalists and offers fewer features for researchers.
Critics argue MCL has only "1% of the features" of CrowdTangle and is less transparent. The timing is concerning, with the U.S. election approaching and increased disinformation activity expected (and already happening per recent reports).
This move aligns with a trend of social media companies limiting independent monitoring of their platforms. Twitter (now X) similarly restricted API access after Elon Musk's acquisition.

〝Despite numerous unanswered calls from government, civil society, and academia to delay CrowdTangle’s shutdown to after the U.S. election and simultaneously improve functionality of its replacement, Meta will proceed with walking back transparency and erecting yet another barrier to the preservation of information integrity, accountability, and trust in platforms when it is needed most.〞

TELL META: Don't Kill Your Crucial Transparency Tool, CrowdTangle!
Meta has announced it will be abandoning CrowdTangle, its industry leading transparency tool, this August - in the middle of the biggest election year on record.
CrowdTangle is used by thousands of researchers, journalists and advocates to monitor political disinformation and hate speech on Facebook and Instagram.
The decision to kill this crucial tool without an equivalent replacement couldn’t come at a worse time: Elections affecting approximately half of the world’s population are taking place this year. Meta’s irresponsible decision poses a direct threat to our ability to safeguard the integrity of these elections - but we can still stop it.
Sign the petition now to call on Meta to maintain CrowdTangle during this critical period of elections worldwide to protect election integrity in 2024 and beyond!

#SocialMedia #Elections #Meta #ElectionsIntegrity #CrowdTangle: "On 14 March, Meta announced it would abandon CrowdTangle, the tool used by tens of thousands of journalists, watchdogs, and election observers to monitor the integrity of elections around the world. Meta will shut down CrowdTangle on 14 August, without an effective replacement, ahead of elections in the United States, Brazil, and Australia and in the wake of elections in India, South Africa, and Mexico — endangering both pre- and post election monitoring.
Meta’s decision will effectively prohibit the outside world, including election integrity experts, from seeing what’s happening on Facebook and Instagram — during the biggest election year on record. This means almost all outside efforts to identify and prevent political disinformation, incitements to violence, and online harassment of women and minorities will be silenced. It’s a direct threat to our ability to safeguard the integrity of elections." https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/open-letter-to-meta-support-crowdtangle-through-2024-and-maintain-crowdtangle-approach/
