๐ซ Facebook's Battle with Fake Accounts
Last week, #Facebook published its third Community Standards Enforcement Report which shows the efforts the company is making to curb and remove controversial content. Between October 2018 and March 2019, Facebook said it removed 3.39 billion fake accounts, twice the number detected and removed in the previous six-month period. It is also more than a billion more than the 2.37 billion people who actively use Facebook each month.
Facebook is trying to fight mass account creations using a combination of #AI and human monitoring. Facebook claims that the vast majority of fake accounts disabled within minutes of their creation.

๐ฒ Top Non-Game Apps Worldwide for May 2019 by Downloads
The most downloaded non-game app worldwide for May 2019 was #WhatsApp with more than 64.7 million installs.
#FacebookMessenger was the second most installed non-game app worldwide last month with more than 60.7 million downloads. #Facebook, #TikTok, and #Snapchat made up the rest of the top five most installed non-game apps last month.
Snapchatโs dramatic ranking increase in May came as the result of a popular new gender swap filter added mid-month. The appโs first-time installs increased 2.5x month-over-month from 16.8 million in April to 41.5 million last month, bringing it into the top 10 for overall downloads at No. 5 and making it the most downloaded app on the App Store. It had ranked No. 11 overall and No. 13 on the App Store in April.

โโ๐ฑ Email & Mobile Notifications in Driving Loyalty
Generating more direct traffic to websites and apps is an important priority for publishers, with #email #newsletters a particularly favoured tactic for retaining subscribers but also for attracting new users. The Washington Post operates around 70 different newsletters & has found that recipients consume around three times as much content as those who donโt use email news. RIโs own data this year show that 42% of US digital subscribers have used one or more email newsletters in the last week compared with 35% in the UK but just 17% in Norway and 19% in Sweden. It is clear this is one area where Nordic publishers could learn a few tricks from the United States.

โโ๐ฐ Libra: Facebook confirms its cryptocurrency launching in 2020
#Libra is designed not to be a speculative asset, like #Bitcoin, but a form of digital money backed by a reserve of assets.
The company has formed the nonprofit Libra Association with 27 other partners to oversee Libra and its development. The partnership includes venture capital firms, nonprofit organizations, #cryptocurrency firms, and massive corporate financial, telecommunications, and technology service providers, including #Coinbase, #Mastercard, #Visa, #eBay, #PayPal, #Stripe, #Spotify, #Uber, #Lyft, and #Vodafone.
While the Libra Association will have members based globally, it will be headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland๐จ๐ญ
Facebook has a business incentive to build on top of the Libra #blockchain, and itโs launching its own subsidiary to do just that called #Calibra (see the GIF below - Credit: Facebook). According to Kevin Weil, Facebook's VP of Product, Calibra will live inside of Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp at launch, but will also have a standalone iOS and Android app.
