Facebook hat Donald Trump beim Einzug ins Weiße Haus maßgeblich geholfen. Das ist ein Ergebnis eines zweijährigen Forschungsprojekts an einer Münchner Hochschule. Als Kanzlermacher tauge das Netzwerk aber noch nicht. Doch der Erfolg der AfD im Netz lässt aufhorchen. <em>Von Jürgen P. Lang. </em>
Der Psychologe Michal Kosinski hat eine Methode entwickelt, um Menschen anhand ihres Verhaltens auf Facebook minutiös zu analysieren. Und verhalf so Donald Trump mit zum Sieg.

Facebook, the world’s top social media platform, is reportedly seeking to hire hundreds of employees with US national security clearance licenses.
Der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages erkennt "Bedarf" an einer Regulierung der Algorithmen. Aber schon die seltsame Fixierung auf den Begriff ist irreführend.

ONNX is the first step toward an open ecosystem where AI developers can easily move between state-of-the-art tools and choose the combination that is best for them. When…
In seltener Einmütigkeit lehnen Digitalverbände und Bürgerrechtsgruppen das von Heiko Maas geplante „Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz“ ab. Es lege die Meinungsfreiheit in die Hände privater Internetkonzerne und fördere Zensur. Aber haben Online-Plattformen, die sich zu Medienkonzernen entwickeln, ein Sonderrecht auf organisierte Verantwortungslosigkeit?
Facebook, Amazon, Alipay and others cut out banks in providing payment services

"Last October, the Central Bank of Ireland added an unexpected company to its roster of digital payment providers — Facebook Payments International Limited. The licence it granted authorised Facebook to provide basic financial services, such as electronic money transfers, to all citizens of the EU. "“What percentage of bank revenues will come from payments and interchange in 10 years? My bet is it will be a lot smaller than today, because of online services like Ant Financial’s Alipay. That’s a fact of life for banks,” said Mr Parker. “They can either resist it or get on board and exploit it to sell additional services and products.”
The social giant on Monday announced plans to lay nearly 500 miles of fiber cable in Uganda by the end of the year, infrastructure that Facebook believes will provide internet access for more than 3 million people.
Facebook is not, however, providing its own wireless network. The company is partnering with Airtel and BCS to provide the actual internet service, and says the fiber will offer more support for “mobile operators’ base stations.” The company also says that it’s “open” to working with other network providers down the line.

S. Levy. Newsweek, (2007)On Tuesday, July 31, Shara Karasic's world came to a temporary halt. Facebook was down. She could not follow the fortunes and foibles of her friends. She could not see if any photos had been posted that were tagged as including her. She could not even know if anyone had "poked" her (which is not a sexual act, but just a little cozier way of saying "hey, you" online). Even though she had the entire Internet to entertain her and connect.
