The Facebook Ad Boycott Has Failed, and Mark Zuckerberg Is Richer Than Ever

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's net worth reached a new milestone, $100 billion, just days after an ad boycott targeting the social media company ended.

Stop Hate for Profit launched in June to encourage business leaders to temporarily pause their paid advertising on Facebook during the month of July. The campaign called on Facebook to address 10 of the organizers' points of concern in the wake of the death of George Floyd and the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that followed, action items that included weeding out racism and political bias across its platform.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Stoked Washington’s Fears About TikTok

Social-media tycoon emphasized threat from Chinese internet companies as he worked to fend off U.S. regulation of Facebook

When Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg delivered a speech about freedom of expression in Washington, D.C., last fall, there was also another agenda: to raise the alarm about the threat from Chinese tech companies and, more specifically, the popular video-sharing app TikTok.

Tucked into the speech was a line pointing to Facebook’s rising rival: Mr. Zuckerberg told Georgetown students that TikTok doesn’t share Facebook’s commitment to freedom of expression, and represents a risk to American values and technological supremacy.

Facebook India grilled over hate speech, alleged bias

NEW DELHI (AP) — Facebook India executives were grilled Wednesday by members of a parliamentary committee on information technology over the company’s alleged political bias and role in spreading hate speech in India.

The closed-door hearing followed accusations in newspaper reports that Facebook was allowing anti-Muslim hate speech on the platform and that its top policy official in India had shown favoritism toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. The social media giant has denied the allegations.

The outcome of the hearing was unclear.

India is Facebook’s largest market with nearly 328 million users. Facebook also owns WhatsApp, which has more than 400 million users in India.

Looks like the Electron based multi device sync will roll out by the end of 2020. It's over rated.

I bet, people will act- as if they've never seen it before.

These things were introduced waaayy before.. In Signal and Telegram Desktop. The only thing WhatsApp offers is a honeypot of 2Billion users.

YOU'RE THE PRODUCT BEING SOLD

Why should I join WhatsApp?
"Everyone's on whatsapp (Facebook)!"
That's literally the only fallacious reason you could give..

No unique features, chats are a proprietary mess with third party cloud backups and janky stolen stickers.

Facebook Pushes Ahead with Plans for Full End-to-End Encryption of its Messaging Tools

Despite ongoing concerns about the proposal among various authorities, Facebook is pushing ahead with its plan to implement full end-to-end encryption by default within all of its messaging tools.

Within an overview of a recent virtual workshop Facebook held with experts in privacy, safety, human rights and consumer protection, the company noted that:

"We’re working hard to bring default end-to-end encryption to all of our messaging services. This will protect people’s private messages and mean only the sender and recipient, not even us, can access their messages. While we expect to make more progress on default end-to-end encryption for Messenger and Instagram Direct this year, it’s a long-term project and we won’t be fully end-to-end encrypted until sometime in 2022 at the earliest."


The news of Facebook's continued work on this front will please privacy advocates - but as noted, various authorities have raised significant concerns with the plan, with respect to how such a process could be used to hide criminal activity, with no way for authorities to track such exchanges.

Facebook and Instagram overlays in iOS stoke fears about apps being free of charge

Through grinding teeth, the social media market leader is implementing iOS 14's new privacy requirements. But it can't refrain from a warning finger in the process.

Facebook originally intended to use "educational screens" to reveal details about data usage. Now they seem to be part of a scaremongering campaign. The message: help keep Facebook and Instagram free, and give us access to your data! The hints seem to be a new way to fight back against Apple's tracking protection in iOS 14.5. Meanwhile, the company is enjoying great business, turning over $26.2 billion between January and March alone. The company had already announced that it will expect users to read page-long data protection declarations.

Facebook shut down Signal’s ads because they exposed too much

Facebook has barred privacy-focused messaging app Signal from running a series of Instagram ads, which would have exposed just how much personal information the photo-sharing network – and its social media behemoth owner – has on individuals as they browse their timeline. Signal had intended to use Instagram’s own third-party advert tools to reveal some of the precise targeting that advertisers can buy access to.

There’s a general acknowledgement these days that advertisers can filter who, exactly, sees their commercials. That makes good business sense, after all: there’s no point in showing ads to people who are unlikely to be interested in your product.

However it’s likely that few mainstream consumers are aware of quite how much targeted information ad network providers like Facebook hold on them. Collated across multiple interactions online – with websites, apps, services, and more – they help build unexpectedly precise profiles about each user. Those profiles can then in turn be sold as visibility filters to more advertisers, so that they can further narrow down their campaigns to whoever they believe will be the most receptive audience.

Ironic that Facebook is fighting to 'Protect user's information and privacy' 😂😂

#bibliogram and other FOSS frontends might face similar issues in the future, so stop supporting non-free platforms like #facebook
