Étiquette : social media (Page 4 of 18)

“A member of the Stanford Behavioral Laboratory posted on a Prolific forum, “We have noticed a huge leap in the number of participants on the platform in the US Pool, from 40k to 80k. Which is great, however, now a lot of our studies have a gender skew where maybe 85% of participants are women. Plus the age has been averaging around 21.” Wayne State psychologist Hannah Schechter seems to have been the first person to crack the case. “This may be far-fetched,” she tweeted, linking to Frank’s video, “but given the timing, virality of the video, and the user’s follower demographics….” Long-standing Prolific survey-takers complained on Reddit that Frank had made it difficult to find paid surveys to take on the overrun platform.”

Facebook Knows Instagram Is Toxic for Teen Girls, Company Documents Show

“They came to the conclusion that some of the problems were specific to Instagram, and not social media more broadly. That is especially true concerning so-called social comparison, which is when people assess their own value in relation to the attractiveness, wealth and success of others. “Social comparison is worse on Instagram,” states Facebook’s deep dive into teen girl body-image issues in 2020, noting that TikTok, a short-video app, is grounded in performance, while users on Snapchat, a rival photo and video-sharing app, are sheltered by jokey filters that “keep the focus on the face.” In contrast, Instagram focuses heavily on the body and lifestyle.”

“Et dans ce domaine, les 15 membres qui ont composé cet organe temporaire jugent qu’il faudra en passer par une meilleure formation des forces de l’ordre vis-à-vis du droit applicable. En effet, le rapport considère qu’il y a un important travail de pédagogie à faire à l’égard des policiers et des gendarmes pour leur rappeler qu’ils n’ont pas le droit d’interdire au public, et encore moins aux journalistes, de les filmer.”

Facebook has been autogenerating pages for white supremacists

30 mars 2021 / noflux

“A total of 113 white supremacist organizations and groups had a presence on Facebook, sometimes more than one. One user-generated page that has been active for over a decade had 42,000 likes. Ten other pages and one group had more than 1,000 likes each.Much of Facebook’s moderation system relies on artificial intelligence to flag potential violations for human moderators, a system that appears to be easily thwarted. Simple misspellings of words—whether by adding vowels or using $ in place of S, for example—have been enough to foil algorithmic moderation.”

Accord politique sur la suppression des contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne

12 décembre 2020 / noflux

“La Commission se félicite de l’accord politique intervenu aujourd’hui entre le Parlement européen et le Conseil sur la proposition de règlement relatif à la prévention de la diffusion de contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne. Une fois adopté, ce règlement garantira que les plateformes en ligne jouent un rôle plus actif dans la détection des contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne et que ceux-ci sont supprimés en l’espace d’une heure au maximum. Grâce à l’accord intervenu, la diffusion des idéologies extrémistes en ligne pourra être contrée, ce qui est vital pour combattre la radicalisation et prévenir les attentats. Ces règles constituent un volet essentiel du programme de lutte antiterroriste pour l’UE présenté par la Commission.”

How Some Conservatives Have Switched to Parler, Rumble and Newsmax

8 décembre 2020 / noflux

“It might be too early to know whether a widespread, permanent shift away from major outlets will last, especially given the reach of Facebook, Twitter and Fox News. While conservative threats of mass migration away from mainstream apps and news have occurred periodically, people still seem to return to the biggest platforms. Ms. Zepeda, a longtime Facebook user, said she would keep her Facebook account to maintain access to the pictures she’s uploaded over the years. But she expects to drop the social network as a daily destination, joining one of the many Facebook groups that are planning a “Mass Exit off Facebook to Parler & MeWe,” scheduled for Friday. “I’m tired of the bias towards Democrats and liberals,” she said.”

“The hearing highlighted the partisan divisions over Silicon Valley’s recent crackdown on misinformation that have been evident throughout the election campaign, with Republicans accusing the companies of going too far in labeling or otherwise limiting the spread of falsehoods and Democrats demanding they do more, especially as Trump and his allies continue to use Twitter and Facebook to spread claims of election fraud without evidence.”

“This isn’t to let social networks off the hook. Nor is it an effort to make the problem feel so complicated that everyone just throws their hands up and walks away from it. But I’m shocked at how appealing so many people find the idea that social networks are uniquely responsible for all of society’s ills. (The Social Dilemma has been among the 10 most watched programs on Netflix all week.) This cartoon super villain view of the world strikes me as a kind of mirror image of the right-wing conspiracy theories which hold that a cabal of elites are manipulating every world event in secret. It is more than a little ironic that a film that warns incessantly about platforms using misinformation to stoke fear and outrage seems to exist only to stoke fear and outrage — while promoting a distorted view of how those platforms work along the way.”

“Ce film a été réalisé dans le cadre du programme « Mon Œil ! ». En lien avec l’équipe enseignante et sur le temps scolaire, quatre ateliers de découverte et de réflexion permettent aux lycéens d’interroger les enjeux de création, diffusion, réception des images fixes et en mouvement autour d’une thématique, « Repenser l’histoire ». Dernier temps du programme, l’atelier de recherche et de création propose aux jeunes de participer collectivement à la conception et réalisation d’un projet avec un artiste invité.”

Facebook removes pages tied to Steve Bannon for misinformation

10 novembre 2020 / noflux

“Facebook took down a widespread network of pages tied to President Trump’s former chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon for pushing misinformation about voter fraud and delegitimizing election results. Bannon’s page also incurred penalties, including not being allowed to post content, but was not removed from Facebook.
The seven pages, which had a total of over 2.45 million followers and had pushed the “Stop the Steal” messaging that alleges election fraud, were flagged for Facebook by the liberal group Avaaz on Friday night.”
