Salut @usbeketrica ,

Est-ce que la personne qui écrit des bêtises comme " Ce n’est pas en quittant X que l’on va empêcher Elon Musk de s’attaquer au planning familial, dont il a l’intention de supprimer les subventions " sait de quoi elle parle, sérieusement ?

Est-ce que ce genre d'argument est sérieusement revendiqué par ce media ?

Est-ce que l'auteur a lu les travaux de #shoshanazuboff mais aussi ceux de #davidchavalarias ou de #DominiqueBoulier sur la propagation ⁉️

Cette personne a-t-elle écouté, lu et compris les alertes... Au hasard... de #franceshaugen sur le fonctionnement et les méthodes de #meta ⁉️

Avoir fait l'erreur de rester sur #twitter et maintenant faire celle de rester sur X ne devrait pas (pour tenter de garder la face et une notoriété toute warholienne au final) permettre d'écrire tout et n'importe quoi, notamment lorsqu'on se revendique du camp des luttes pour l'émancipation, le progrès social et la justice.

Ne pas comprendre ou faire semblant de ne pas comprendre que les #gafam ( #facebook #instagram #Tiktok #snapchat et autres ) sont des outils de manipulation de l'opinion à l'échelle industrielle... C'est déjà un problème.

Mais parler de fuite de la gauche quand TOUT démontre que ces outils sont des cancers pour le corps social et pour le débat démocratique, c'est carrément révoltant !

Évoquer des "croisières de luxe pour « échapper à la réalité » " pour faire un parallèle complètement malhonnête sur un mouvement d'émancipation technocritique quant aux #régiespublicitaires , c'est véritablement propager des vérités alternatives à ce niveau 🤬

Votre opinion est infondée, sans support scientifique et veut se faire passer pour une information : c'est précisément ce que #Twitter et les gafam propagent. Vous êtes contaminé et vous ne vous en rendez pas compte semble-t-il ! ⚠️

Restez donc sur ces plateformes qui propagent #haine #violence #racisme et bon courage pour lutter contre LE principe fondamental du numérique : #codeislaw !!! 🤓

https://framablog.org/2010/05/22/code-is-law-lessig/

Allez @usbeketrica , tu te mets au travail, tu lis, tu apprends, tu comprends et après, on rediscute sérieusement du sujet. Là, en vérité, c'est gênant. 🧑‍🎓 😉

Meta-Whistleblowerin #FrancesHaugen im #SZ-Interview: „Elon #Musk hat dem Online-Diskurs in einer Weise geschadet, die wir erst in ein paar Jahren vollständig begreifen werden. #X ist nicht das böse Unternehmen. Aber die Art und Weise, wie es geführt wird, hat die Türen für Nachlässigkeit in die gesamten Branche geöffnet.“😞

I closed out November with a flurry of published stories, some filed weeks ago. I like finishing strong in November, since that’s the last month that freelancers can reasonably expect to write something and get paid for it that year.

One of the posts published in the closing hours of last month but not listed below was an extra for Patreon readers: a Web Summit recap covering things that didn’t show up in stories for my other clients.

11/27/2023: What part of ‘get rid of my data’ don’t companies get?, Fast Company

I pitched this piece months ago, then took far more time than I expected to report it out and finally write the damn thing.

11/28/2023: The 3 best international tech innovations of 2023, Fast Company

I helped judge this competition for the second year in a row.

11/28/2023: The 4 next big things in robotics and automation for 2023, Fast Company

My second batch of “NBTT” value judgments covered this high-tech sector.

11/28/2023: The 5 next big things in space and telecom for 2023, Fast Company

Of course I was going to accept a story assignment from my editor that would let write about space.

11/28/2023: Researchers: Maybe the Internet Isn’t Making Us Miserable After All, PCMag

I wrote up a study questioning the widely-held belief that social media and the Internet in general are making everybody stressed, lonely and resentful.

11/29/2023: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter

This minor update covered new high-end plans at T-Mobile and Verizon and updated readers about AT&T and Verizon’s C-band deployment, among other things.

11/30/2023: OpenAI At A Crossroads: Can AI Threaten Humanity?, Al Jazeera

I joined AJ’s The Take podcast, hosted by Malika Bilal, to disucss OpenAI’s recent calamities and the prospects for AI to live up to the hopes (or fears) of some of its bigger supporters.

11/30/2023: Ex-EVgo CEO: It Can Take 6 to 18 Months to Put a Charging Station Into Service, PCMag

Recently-retired EVgo CEO Cathy Zoi taught me a few things about the state of the EV-charging business in the panel hosted by Resources for the Future in D.C. that I watched from home via Zoom.

11/30/2023: Google Celebrates RCS Hitting the Billion-User Mark With Multiple Feature Drops, PCMag

I got advance copies of Google’s blog posts about RCS topping a billion users and the software feature drops the company staged to celebrate the occasion, then made sure to remind readers of Google’s most recent announcement of the total number of Android devices–more than 3 billion, announced in 2022, which suggests that most Android users have yet to benefit from this upgrade to SMS and MMS.

12/1/2023: Facebook Whistleblower: Want to Help Kids? Keep Them Off Social Media, PCMag

I bikeshared into D.C. to watch a different tech-policy panel, this one at the Brookings Institution and featuring Melanie Dawes, chief executive of the U.K. telecom regulator Ofcom, and Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

Updated 12/11/2023 to add the Wirecutter guide that I had missed before.

Lese @hateaid über #SafetyByDesign "Mit ihren #Algorithmen tragen #Plattformen wesentlich zur massenhaften Verbreitung von Gewalt und Desinformation bei – und sie wissen darum: Vor rund zwei Jahren veröffentlichte das Wall Street Journal die sogenannten #FacebookFiles. Die Journalist*innen werteten in mehreren Artikeln interne Dokumente, Chatprotokolle und Präsentationen von Meta aus.

Die Unterlagen sowie Aussagen der Whistleblowerin #FrancesHaugen zeigen: Dem Unternehmen, zu dem unter anderem #Facebook und #Instagram gehören, war die schädliche Wirkung seiner Angebote bewusst. Hass und polarisierende Inhalte würden verstärkt, um eine höhere Aktivität von Nutzer*innen und Werbeeinnahmen zu erzielen, so Haugen. Hingegen würden kaum Maßnahmen ergriffen, um den Schaden einzudämmen."

> The idea that social media companies shoulder responsibility for the potential damage their products cause to young people came to the fore late in 2021 when former #Meta employee #FrancesHaugen revealed documents about its internal operations. Among Haugen’s allegations was a claim that the company was knowingly preying on vulnerable young people to boost profits. Congress held hearings and some state attorneys general launched investigations.

This is the full interview with #FrancesHaugen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4zAeDGGd-Q

This is the entire special episode on social media, link goes to the start of the interview with #FrancesHaugen Interviews with both lawmakers on this issue also worth watching. https://youtu.be/bOzlAPFmj7Q?t=480

This is the lead-in to the interview with #FrancesHaugen where the "attention economy" and the incentivizing of outrage gets spelled out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7BYEOxRm3Y

I'm watching Meet the Press. Frances Haugen - the "Facebook Whistleblower" is talking about how a simple tweak to their algorithm would have as much impact as all the 3rd party fact checking available. I'll post the video when it's available.

@jon was right, and I wasn't hearing him before. The "this is also human nature" defense is problematic, and I was wrong. Individuals can make a difference yes, but transparency and regulation are needed.

Glad to be on Mastodon. #FrancesHaugen

"So given that there is a fixed cost for each one of these new [spoken] languages, it's just not economic for Facebook to build out the level of safety that is currently available in the US ... and people are paying for that with their lives."

“Its own research is showing that content that is hateful, that is divisive, that is polarizing, it’s easier to inspire people to anger than it is to other emotions ... Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site, they’ll click on less ads, they’ll make less money.”
