Some political & legal observations on what I think is the most important European Commission enforcement action to date under the Digital Services Act, against Meta for failing to take effective measures to prevent the spreading of (Russian) disinformation on their platforms 👇
Dawn Staley to the crowd: "I want to personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport. She carried a heavy load for our sport... She's gonna lift that league [WNBA] up... You are one of the GOATs of our game and we appreciate you.” Super classy 👏

Thank you for helping raise awareness @senatorchriscoons and for your leadership on PATA! Let’s hope Meta is also listening and up for considering a better plan this historic election year.

CrowdTangle has been indispensable to understand what is happening on Facebook, and I’m concerned about what its end will mean for the future of transparency. My bipartisan Platform Accountability and Transparency Act would ensure platforms make these important tools available.

CrowdTangle helps researchers track disinformation, but Meta will close it down before the US election. The tool's cofounder, Brandon Silverman, says it's time to force companies to share data. wired.trib.al/VLSzgGT
As @rapplerdotcom co-founder @chayhofilena said, “Stop this now.” @Meta how can you with all the elections in 2024? Appeal from your users aka citizens

Earlier this month @Meta announced it will abandon its election transparency tool during the biggest elections year on record. @FastCompany speaks to former CEO & Co-Founder @brandonsilverm here: bit.ly/3Vx9OVt
I got a chance to talk to @stokel this weekend about some of my concerns about Meta's timing on closing CrowdTangle and why simply providing "more data" doesn't always make a transparency solution better (especially if you're also taking other data away).

For @FastCompany I spoke to @brandonsilverm about his thoughts on Meta’s planned closure of CrowdTangle in a key election year fastcompany.com/91067850/crowd…
Over half the world’s population will go to the polls this year, & @Meta has decided to abandon its election integrity tool CrowdTangle, with no equal support in place for elections experts. Along with over 90 partners, we’re asking them to reconsider: mzl.la/3TIFnKU
Wow, this is an impressive list. In my opinion, the groups on here represent the exact types of civil society organizations with deep local expertise & knowledge that large platforms need to be working with *more*...not turning their backs on. foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/o…
