Goodbye to the Wild Wild Web
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/technology/goodbye-to-the-wild-wild-web.html

The internet is changing, and the freewheeling, anything-goes culture of social media is being replaced by something more accountable. It felt like a dam breaking, or the changing of a guard. Within a 48-hour period this week, many of the world’s internet giants took steps that would have been unthinkable for them even months earlier. Reddit, which spent most of its life as a lawless free-for-all, banned thousands of forums for hate speech, including the largest pro-Trump forum on the (...)

If the combined might of brands like Unilever and Coca-Cola don’t scare Mark Zuckerberg, who can hold the social media platform to account ? There is no power on this earth that is capable of holding Facebook to account. No legislature, no law enforcement agency, no regulator. Congress has failed. The EU has failed. When the Federal Trade Commission fined it a record $5bn for its role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, its stock price actually went up. Which is what makes this moment so (...)

What’s wrong with WhatsApp
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jul/02/whatsapp-groups-conspiracy-theories-disinformation-democracy

As social media has become more inhospitable, the appeal of private online groups has grown. But they hold their own dangers – to those both inside and out. In the spring, as the virus swept across the world and billions of people were compelled to stay at home, the popularity of one social media app rose more sharply than any other. By late March, usage of WhatsApp around the world had grown by 40%. In Spain, where the lockdown was particularly strict, it rose by 76%. In those early (...)

Moderators, participants fled the subreddit months ago over complaints that Reddit was too strict on speech Reddit shut down its popular but controversial forum devoted to supporting President Trump on Monday, following years in which the social media company tried but often failed to control the racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, glorification of violence and conspiracy theories that flourished there. The move against r/The_Donald, as the forum was known, came after its volunteer (...)

Le Parlement turc a récemment donné aux « veilleurs de quartier », un corps d’auxiliaires de police remis au goût du jour par le président Erdogan, le droit de procéder à des arrestations, d’empêcher les manifestations et de faire usage de leur arme. Le faible niveau de formation des agents et le flou de la nouvelle loi font redouter des dérapages et une utilisation partisane de cette unité.

Lansing — The tracking of hundreds of Michigan Capitol protesters’ cellphones from two rallies this spring has raised questions about protecting privacy rights, while testing limits of what location data can predict about the spread of the novel coronavirus from packed public events. A liberal advocacy group most recently pursued the anonymized cellphone location data from more than 400 devices from individuals who attended the American Patriots Rally on April 30 in Lansing against Gov.

On June 9th, in light of the global debate against racial injustices, the company IBM announced they would stop selling facial recognition. Here are 4 quick-fire thoughts we have on this. Key points This latest announcement is a PR stunt to distract from the reality : IBM has been profitting from the sale of technology to the police and it is at the heart of their business model.

A former Albuquerque City Council candidate who ran on a tough-on-crime platform shot a protester at an anti-police brutality demonstration on Monday and was arrested alongside members of a right-wing militia group. The shooting is an extreme example of a trend that has played out across the country as armed vigilantes pledging to protect property have shown up at protests — in many cases with encouragement or even explicit collaboration from law enforcement. The shooter, Steven Ray Baca, (...)

Contrairement à Twitter, Facebook n’a pas modéré les propos violents du président américain. Hostile à la régulation, la plate-forme repose surtout sur une architecture propice à la diffusion de ce type de contenus. Ce genre d’épisode devient tristement répétitif. Le réseau social Facebook s’est à nouveau retrouvé fin mai au centre d’une polémique sur son rôle dans la propagation de discours haineux, mais cette fois-ci le message émane directement de Donald Trump.

Nearly half of the Twitter accounts spreading messages on the social media platform about the coronavirus pandemic are likely bots, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University said on Wednesday. Researchers culled through more than 200 million tweets since January discussing the virus and found that about 45% were sent by accounts that behave more like computerized robots than humans. It is too early to say conclusively what individuals or groups are behind the bot accounts, but researchers (...)

Advanced facial recognition technology poses a mortal threat to privacy. It could grant the government, corporations and even average citizens the ability to capture a photo of anybody and, with a few keystrokes, uncover all kinds of personal details. So when The New York Times published an exposé about a shadowy facial recognition firm called Clearview AI in January, it seemed like the worst nightmare of privacy advocates had arrived.
