Zuckerberg was incredulous “at the idea that he was a former innovator, not a current innovator,” in Facebook research on what the public thinks of him. Fascinating anecdote from @mhbergen @KurtWagner8 in this piece https://t.co/d366XzbsY0 pic.twitter.com/aoYOc6gV2Z

Facebook staffers used special internal tool called 'Stormchaser' to monitor + track what people were saying about Facebook https://t.co/5nJRJwFODZ

It would then choose whether to respond or activate special 'Quick Promotions' targeted at users on the platform to debunk a story
I find the idea of Facebook algorithmically policing private conversations to make sure they meet Facebook’s moral and ethical standards pretty terrifying, personally https://t.co/9rRrkMRf57

You could write a dissertation about this quote, and the difference between what FB considers "product confusion" (wrong stuff about us, which must be removed immediately) and "false news" (wrong stuff about other people, which is protected free speech) https://t.co/LtBBa8Yk8u pic.twitter.com/cHpDxYH41f

NEW: Here’s a close look at how Facebook fought “fake news” about Facebook — and other strategies the company employs to help manage its reputation, including in-depth polling about its top execs. Fun to team up w/ @mhbergen again! https://t.co/geKMOIrPqT

good story, plus this piece of color: Zuckerberg bristled at research that showed the public thought of him more like Bill Gates than like Bezos or Musk https://t.co/vntHFBHiOl

Facebook debunked hoaxes about it with News Feed callouts shown to people who shared them, @KurtWagner8 & @mhbergen report. But could it do that for other misinformation? https://t.co/1ZA0neJbzq

When it comes to protecting its own reputation, Facebook has had internal tools to track and combat the spread of misinformation about Facebook since 2016. So why weren't similar tools developed for everything else? https://t.co/CWIv8aGB9x

imagine if Facebook built and used similar tools to, say, crack down on large secret groups of law enforcement officers posting hateful content that violates their community guidelines https://t.co/wwQWl5Z9Xv pic.twitter.com/Lp4Xmqf0VB

This is fascinating about how Facebook has directly countered viral misinformation about itself by putting notes in people’s News Feeds, but I’m not sure why they say it wouldn’t work with other forms of misinformation. https://t.co/2y1jcsEOos

Facebook tracks -- and counter-messages -- what people are saying about it on Facebook. What other audiences are they targeting to shape opinion on other topics? How can anyone know? https://t.co/Msit9eoUsu

How Facebook fought fake news about Facebook.
It used polling data and secretive projects — Stormchaser and Night's Watch to monitor and track what people were saying about Facebook. And respond to it. https://t.co/Jf5awH1eAk pic.twitter.com/RWHmwL0fHC
Facebook had a system for fighting misinformation about Facebook. Other false/misleading content? Not so much. https://t.co/cHbg73Z5Wp via @KurtWagner8 @mhbergen @technology

It’s monitoring the negative things you say about it with surveillance tools—‘Stormchaser’ and ‘Night’s Watch’—then it serves you positive content (their staff creates) to try and change your mind https://t.co/D9REldhNqx

How @facebook fought #fakenews about Facebook, using a secretive but powerful ‘Stormchaser’ program to track down & label some memes as untrue - a courtesy it refuses to apply to other, potentially dangerous, objectively fake news, because reasons. https://t.co/V8C3TZciax
