☆ Senators press Google, Meta and Twitter on whether their layoffs could imperil 2024 election
  + stars: | 2023-06-22 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Three US senators are pressing Facebook-parent Meta, Google-parent Alphabet and Twitter about whether their layoffs may have hindered the companies’ ability to fight the spread of misinformation ahead of the 2024 elections. “This is particularly troubling given the emerging use of artificial intelligence to mislead voters,” wrote Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Vermont Democratic Sen. Peter Welch and Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, according to a copy of the letter reviewed by CNN. Since purchasing Twitter in October, Elon Musk has slashed headcount by more than 80%, in some cases eliminating entire teams. Meta has previously said it would eliminate about 21,000 jobs over two rounds of layoffs, hitting across teams devoted to policy, user experience and well-being, among others. Tuesday’s letter asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino how each company is preparing for the 2024 elections and for mis- and disinformation surrounding the campaigns.

☆ Senate Judiciary advances journalism bargaining bill targeting Big Tech

Washington CNN —The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced legislation on Thursday that would give news organizations the power to jointly bargain against Meta, Google and other online platforms for a greater share of online advertising revenue. One member of the committee, California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla, voted against the bill Thursday and vowed to block any future floor vote on the legislation until lawmakers make several changes. Padilla said the legislation doesn’t do enough to ensure that actual journalists in local newsrooms will benefit from the bargaining, as opposed to hedge funds and publication owners. “This bill is not about whether or not you like social media,” Kennedy said. “This bill is not about whether or not you like what is happening in American news media today.

☆ Meta avoids showdown over news content in US after journalism bargaining bill shelved
  + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a key architect of the news media bill, has argued that the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) is necessary to help small, local journalism outlets survive in the face of Google and Facebook’s advertising dominance. The News Media Alliance, a supporter of the JCPA, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Among those that signed the letter were the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, The Wikimedia Foundation and Public Knowledge. The tech industry launched its own offensive to keep the JCPA out of the defense bill, with groups including NetChoice and the Computer and Communications Industry Association announcing ad campaigns targeting the measure. Meta, meanwhile, turned to a familiar playbook in threatening to remove from the platform.
☆ Ticketmaster shares spotlight with Taylor Swift
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
NEW YORK, Nov 18 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Ticketmaster has a pretty bad seat for the Taylor Swift show. It also risks tempting Swift to turn the spotlight on Ticketmaster. In 2010, U.S. trustbusters allowed Ticketmaster to merge with Live Nation and create one of the largest event businesses in the world. Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen tried unsuccessfully to weaken Ticketmaster, but Swift might be able to move the needle. Taylor Swift and Uncle Sam would be a formidable duo.
