This isn't going to do anything and Facebook knows it. It's not about stopping misinformation, it's about PR. https://t.co/EWRsSTWQaV

.@Facebook published new rules on countering misinformation ahead of US election, including a ban on new political ads in the week before the vote.

Reminder — Congress *could* have done something about this, and they didn’t. Can’t blame FB for politicians not doing their job

The Russian group that interfered in the 2016 presidential election is at it again, using a network of fake accounts and a website set up to look like a left-wing news site, Facebook said on Tuesday.https://t.co/srFL8ME5ET

Don't sleep on this announcement: content-neutral design choices platforms make, like this one, can make a real difference.

Fb said that a similar limit on WhatsApp cut the spread of viral msgs by 70%. 70%!!!!! Not all of it would be misinfo but still (https://t.co/XUHmMRwVWo) https://t.co/zpYH7VHtVJ
Today, @Messenger is announcing message forwarding limits, a new feature designed to protect people from viral misinfo and harmful content.

With forwarding limits, a sender will be able to forward a message to up to five people or groups at a time: https://t.co/Bms5nNQkOC pic.twitter.com/ucqrX3HTux
There are the details. And there is this: Mark Zuckerberg, alone, gets to set key rules—with significant consequences—for one of the most important elections in recent history. That should not be lost in the dust of who these changes will hurt or benefit. https://t.co/QzLtcvZA6f

The Russian group that interfered in the 2016 election is again using fake social media accounts and a website to spread disinformation, the first public evidence that Moscow is trying to push voters away from the Democratic presidential candidate again. https://t.co/MrRTsv2dIU

As everyone knows, disinformation campaigns are like basketball games, in that nothing actually matters until the final three minutes of the fourth quarter. https://t.co/B8pO0gbdch

#Facebook decides to limit #USElections2020 ads a week before Election Day. Given the number of Americans planning to vote early, will one week be enough? https://t.co/4F3OAJXfo0

Russia is interfering in our election once again—using tactics we've seen before and likely new ones as well.
— Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) September 1, 2020
Congress should be getting briefed more, not less. And the American people deserve more answers about what's being done to safeguard democracy. https://t.co/cQUerw29ei
In a rare case where the term "fake news" is actually precise - because the problem is both fake and actively pretending to be news - Facebook and Twitter say Russian operatives are targeting Americans, esp on the left, with disinformation https://t.co/91rQYz0l1P
— Rasmus Kleis Nielsen (@rasmus_kleis) September 2, 2020
Yes, it’s a positive move. But remember:
— Jason Kint (@jason_kint) September 3, 2020
- microtargeted political ads are problem and FB’s entire biz model
- Twitter banned all political ads (avoiding biz model debate)
- Google banned all microtargeted political ads
FB is making change for final week only.
Only Facebook... https://t.co/DLtPBpDtY6
