We thank the @OversightBoard for the care and attention they gave this case. We will now consider the board's guidance and develop a response that is clear and proportionate. In the meantime, Mr. Trump's accounts remain suspended. https://about.fb.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Nick Clegg, who shaped Facebook's handling of Donald Trump, will lead the final decision-making process after the Oversight Board handed it back to Facebook

New York Times :

Last month, I wrote about how Facebook is giving people greater understanding of, and control over, how its algorithms rank content. Today we're announcing new ways we're exploring to incorporate user feedback into this process, so people see content that matters most to them. https://twitter.com/...

Facebook launches a series of global News Feed ranking tests to solicit user feedback on posts they're seeing and what posts users find valuable

Facebook may be reconfiguring its News Feed algorithms.  After being grilled by lawmakers about the role that Facebook played in the attack …

Some of this criticism is fair: companies like Facebook need to be frank about how the relationship between you and their ranking systems really works. And they need to give you more control.

Nick Clegg defends Facebook, saying it is not in the company's interest, financially or reputationally, to continually push users toward more extreme content

In  —  a recent article for The Atlantic, Adrienne LaFrance compared Facebook to a Doomsday Machine: “a device built with the sole purpose of destroying all human life.”

This piece is lengthy, but the questions surrounding technology's power - and the companies behind it - are complex and require thoughtful consideration.

The debate over social media's role in society often centers on concerns that people are being manipulated by algorithms they can't control. Some say the machines have already won. Read my take here: https://nickclegg.medium.com/ ...

But the caricatures of social media's algorithms don't tell the full story: You are an active participant in the experience. The personalized “world” of your News Feed is shaped heavily by your choices and actions.

People are only going to feel more comfortable with the algorithms behind News Feed if they have more visibility into how they work and more control over what they see. So we're rolling out new tools to help people better understand and control what they see in their News Feeds.

Facebook responds to the Oversight Board's 17 recommendations and commits to action on 11 of them, most of which focus on increasing transparency

very few places where Facebook says it “has done X,” lots of places where they vaguely gesture toward “ing” something https://about.fb.com/... https://twitter.com/... Matt / @mattk...

Facebook defends its stance in Australia, says it invested $600M since 2018 to support the news industry and plans at least $1B more over the next three years

Last week, in a move that will have felt abrupt and dramatic to many, Facebook announced it was stopping the sharing of news on its service in Australia.

The @OversightBoard was established last year to make the final call on some of the most difficult content decisions Facebook makes. It is an independent body and its decisions are binding - they can't be overruled by anyone at Facebook.

The @OversightBoard is the first of its kind: an expert-led independent organisation with the power to impose binding decisions on a private social media company. We welcome any wider observations/recommendations they have around suspensions when the user is a political leader.

Facebook is referring our decision to indefinitely suspend former President Trump's Facebook & Instagram accounts to the independent @OversightBoard. Today's announcement does not reinstate his access. We hope & expect the board will confirm our decision. https://about.fb.com/...
