Based on his tweets, Musk appears to think that the Brand allegations were faked by the government and media in order to get him canceled as retaliation for Brand's political views. He would probably very much love to have Russell Brand repping Twitter, to prove his commitment to resisting "cancel culture" at all costs.

Yeah, it was him, Andrew Tate, Tucker Carlson, Alan Sugar, and George Galloway, all suddenly coming out of the woodwork with nonsense like that. Strong "MRAs of conspiracy culture" line-up there.

I think it’d be tough to know how widespread it was. A few people complaining on the internet probably weren’t charged enough to swing the difference in a financial report. How many people would have to have been impacted for it to make a difference?

Instagram stopped showing how old posts were for me. I suspect it is to better hide how little content has been lately. They’ve been recycling the posts from my accounts I follow whenever there isn’t anything new, hoping I wouldn’t notice. But something being “12 hours old” (for example) was always a give away if I didn’t remember the post. I don’t know why else they would suddenly take away post age.

This one's kinda funny - Kia and Hyundai Blame TikTok and Instagram For Their Cars Getting Stolen From the filing here, Kia/Hyundai are essentially claiming that thefts involving their vehicles were less common than their competitors prior to videos of them going viral. As a result, the blame for the thefts should clearly fall on social media, and not the car companies for stopping the installation of anti-theft devices (engine immobilizers) that exist in almost every other vehicle sold in the US. I normally wouldn't side with social media companies in a lawsuit, and I get that Kia/Hyundai are just trying to avoid financial damages - but this is a bit of a reach.

They are looking to recoup a loss off a company that directly profited from activities that worsened the loss (promoting, hosting ,and advertising on videos explaining in detail how to steal these vehicles). They probably expect a fairly limited recovery but when your throwing that much money around it makes sense to try anyway.

The car companies don't have to win the lawsuit. They just have to make the lawyer bills cost more than the amount social media companies are making off this kind of content. Then there's a financial incentive for the social media companies to voluntarily change their policies even though they're not legally required to.

Won't help if the ruling goes against them and they're required to pay defendant's expenses and attorneys fees.

From the Washington Post: Under India’s pressure, Facebook let propaganda and hate speech thrive The whole thing is worth a read- it's got excellent internal links to additional sources, and I've not got time atm to copy them all in. Of note, the propaganda campaigns under discussion passed into other countries and userbases. Gosh, if only there was some sort of media literacy thread to discuss how to handle this sort of thing. quote:Nearly three years ago, Facebook’s propaganda hunters uncovered a vast social media influence operation that used hundreds of fake accounts to praise the Indian army’s crackdown in the restive border region of Kashmir and accuse Kashmiri journalists of separatism and sedition. These problems were systemic- I've not copied in the material, but it was driven by politically connected execs who, even when replaced, were replaced by people even closer to Modi. quote:After U.S. Facebook employees in 2020 warned that Indian Hindu nationalist groups were spreading the hashtag #coronajihad, implying that Indian Muslims were intentionally spreading the coronavirus in a conspiracy to wage holy war, a content policy staffer for the region pushed back, arguing that the meme didn’t amount to hate speech because it wasn’t explicitly targeting a people, two former employees recalled. (Facebook eventually barred searches for that hashtag, but searching for just “coronajihad” returns accusatory posts.) Facebook knew the problems were severe and chose to bury the results. quote:As the controversy over its handling of hate in India grew in 2019, Facebook hired the law firm Foley Hoag to study and write about its performance there in what is called a human rights impact assessment. Some rights groups worried that the firm would go easy on Facebook because one of its human rights lawyers at the time, Brittan Heller, was married to Gleicher, Facebook’s head of security policy. These problems are ongoing and in all countries. quote:Facebook executives similarly downplayed problems reported by outside groups. The London Story, a Netherlands-based human rights group, reported hundreds of posts that it said violated the company’s rules. Facebook asked for more information, and then asked for it in a different format, then said it would work to improve things if the group stayed quiet. When nothing happened, the group succeeded in getting a meeting with the company’s Oversight Board, created to handle a small number of high-profile content disputes. Oh hey did you think this was just a facebook thing? quote:When Facebook’s investigators brought their Kashmir findings to the India office, they expected a chilly response. The India team frequently argued that Facebook policies didn’t apply to a particular case. Sometimes, they argued that they didn’t apply to sovereign governments. As has been reported elsewhere, the nonprofit groups trying to investigate and stop this stuff have limited ability, and are now under legal threat: quote:As Facebook’s India team delayed acting on the Chinar inauthentic network, the propaganda investigators in Washington and California worked on less controversial subjects. Even after the India campaign was addressed, the execs continued to gently caress with it. Note this is after the campaign had been allowed to spread and get socialized, maximizing this effect: quote:The impasse continued until the U.S. team demanded action from Nick Clegg, then Meta’s powerful vice president of global affairs, who had been put in charge of India public policy. Clegg was later named president of global affairs. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Sep 30, 2023 |
