Crypto darling Helium lying about Lime and Salesforce using its network is hilarious. And A16Z, which just pumped another $50+m into it, surely knew. The danger here is a smart lawyer getting a class action suit for Helium hotspot users, who were misled. https://twitter.com/...

The early podcasts on will get a huge bump, but listeners will subscribe to a Facebook hosted version, like Spotify is doing. The statistics will be overblown, later chalked up to an engineering error. FB sells ads in the “podcast” but only in FB's version

Sources describe how ISPs like AT&T and Cox push the FCC to omit unflattering data, among other tactics, to improve scores on FCC's internet speeds report

Wall Street Journal :

It's a good thing the publishing industry didn't have spent the last 5 years chasing short-term FB traffic and instead thought long term by building owned distribution channels, figuring out personalization and focussing on loyal readers rather than drive-by ones https://twitter.com/...
