☆ Meta's and Twitter's subscription plans show they care more about money than free speech

On Sunday, Mark Zuckerberg – still stinging from his botched metaverse launch – unveiled Meta Verified, a new subscription service costing $12 on web and $15 on iOS and Android. The timing of the launches of Meta's and Twitter's subscription services seems to be no coincidence, then: They're introducing paid-for services at a time when they're being squeezed of digital ad revenue. Meta says its new subscription service is primarily for content creators, but this feels disingenuous because everyone on its service is, in effect, a "content creator." Charging for it illustrates a clear misunderstanding Zuckerberg has of Facebook and its users: Facebook is responsible for vetting who gets access to its platform, not users themselves. Just 0.2% of Twitter users in the US had signed up for Twitter Blue, Musk's subscription service, by the end of January.

Facebook claims a series of reports by an Indian news site, The Wire, were based on faked documents. On Tuesday, an expert The Wire used in a story denied publicly that he commented in any way to the publication. Stone responded on Twitter saying, "as it's been clear from the outset @thewire_in's stories are based on fabrications." Varadarajan wrote on Twitter that the email account The Wire uses, a protonmail.com address, had been "hacked via the hacking of a MacBook." Kumar of The Wire deactivated his Twitter account.

Nicola Mendelsohn has been named Facebook's new ad chief, a role previously held by Carolyn Everson. Facebook has named Nicola Mendelsohn to the top advertising sales role of VP of the global business group. She had been the interim ad sales leader since June, when former ad exec Carolyn Everson left to become Instacart's president. Facebook's ad revenue continues to increase despite the exodus and ongoing regulations and warnings about the impact on ad performance from the introduction of Apple's App Tracking Transparency, which will limit ad targeting and measurement on Apple devices. Their roles span ad sales, strategy, marketing and product across Facebook's properties including its core app, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger.

10.01.2020 09:50 Sursa foto:TVR Moldova Vizualizari:Facebook nu ţine cont de critici şi confirmă că nu va cenzura publicitatea politicăFacebook nu ţine cont de critici şi confirmă că nu va cenzura decât în mod excepţional publicitatea politică, chiar mincinoasă, apreciind că revine publicului să facă trierea, atrăgându-şi astfel un nou val de condamnări în plină campanie prezidenţială americană, potrivit AFP. Leathern şi Zuckerberg insistă amândoi asupra faptului că, în opinia lor, nu revine unei companii private sarcina de a decide cenzurarea unuia sau altuia dintre politicieni. În toamnă, Facebook permisese astfel difuzarea unei publicităţi politice a campaniei sale de realegere, care conţinea informaţii false despre rivalul său democrat, Joe Biden. Decizia provocase vâlvă şi o altă candidată democrată, Elizabeth Warren, cumpărase o publicitate pe Facebook în care afirma - în mod fals - că Mark Zuckerberg şi reţeaua socială susţineau realegerea lui Donald Trump. La aceasta s-au adăugat dezvăluirile despre campania de dezinformare online dusă de o oficină rusă apropiată Kremlinului pentru a ajuta candidatura miliardarului republican.
