algorithms Facebook sets up that prioritize and control shown in its powerful newsfeed are a lot more consequential than the ads said Zeynep Tufekci an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who closely follows social media and technology.

Investigators believe the Internet Research Agency a troll farm that has been linked to the Kremlin amassed enormous followings for various Facebook Pages that masqueraded as destinations for discussion about all sorts of issues from the Black Lives Matter movement to gun ownership.

ET Democrats and Republicans alike opened a hearing Tuesday into attempt to spread disinformation on social media by lamenting the efforts during the presidential election stressing the need for Facebook Google and Twitter to prevent it from happening ever again.

For Dianne Feinstein the concern is that RT continued to participate in a key Google advertising program even after the intelligence community in a report issued this January flagged the news network as a propaganda arm of the Kremlin.

And Coons challenged Stretch to explain why exactly it had taken the company months to share detailed findings about Russian disinformation particularly given reports that President Barack Obama approached Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the problem well before that.

7. In related news, it takes > 3 days for Facebook’s small, 3rd-party fact checking process to mark fake news ⏳

The flaws highlight a fundamental question that will be asked this week when internet companies testify in front of Congressional committees How responsible should Facebook Google and Twitter be for information others distribute through their systems.

A few days after President Donald Trump November election win Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said it was crazy to think fake news had swayed voters.

Facebook expects this manual work to help the company improve its algorithm over time so it can get smarter at automatically spotting patterns and figuring out what stories might be worth showing to human partners even before flagged by users.

8. Top issue from congressional hearing: tech giants admit they don’t know if election ad buyers are shell companies

The short answer is they and that drew questioning from a Congressional probe today into Facebook Twitter and Google being used to manipulate the presidential election.

do you deal with the problem of a legitimate and lawful but phony American shell corporation one that calls itself say for Puppies and Prosperity that has a drop box as its address and a million checkin its check book that using to spend to manipulate election outcomes.

This issue of advertiser identity and how deep tech platforms are required to investigate it could emerge as key to whether these companies are allowed to or whether the government will step in.
