The twitteR package, released back in 2010, has long provided the means to access and analyze your Twitter social network data with R. But until recently, there hasn't been anything comparable for the Facebook social network. But now, thanks to Pablo Barbera, there is the RFacebook package which provides a collection of R functions to access data from your Facebook social network. To use RFacebook, you first need to sign up for a Facebook developer account, which is quick and easy as long as you already have a Facebook profile. JulianHi provides an excellent step-by-step tutorial on getting started with...
Eine Pflegerin, die ein Foto eines von ihr betreuten fremden Babys auf Facebook gepostet hatte, kassierte eine außerordentliche Kündigung. In diesem Fall hielten die Richter diese Maßnahme jedoch für unwirksam.
As Facebook and Twitter are purging alternative media outlets, a neoconservative operative at a US government-funded think tank says more censorship is on its way. Max Blumenthal and Jeb Sprague discuss how scaremongering over Russia and China is being exploited to silence dissent on social media
By Zeynep Tufekci, part of MIT Technology Review's September/October 2018 Issue. "To understand how digital technologies went from instruments for spreading democracy to weapons for attacking it, you have to look beyond the technologies themselves." and perhaps also to look beyond the USA...
"Dissidents can more easily circumvent censorship, but the public sphere they can now reach is often too noisy and confusing for them to have an impact. Those hoping to make positive social change have to convince people both that something in the world needs changing and there is a constructive, reasonable way to change it. Authoritarians and extremists, on the other hand, often merely have to muddy the waters and weaken trust in general so that everyone is too fractured and paralyzed to act. The old gatekeepers blocked some truth and dissent, but they blocked many forms of misinformation too."
"Perhaps the simplest statement of the problem, though, is encapsulated in Facebook’s original mission statement (which the social network changed in 2017, after a backlash against its role in spreading misinformation). It was to make the world “more open and connected.” It turns out that this isn’t necessarily an unalloyed good. Open to what, and connected how? The need to ask those questions is perhaps the biggest lesson of all."
Der Journalist und Datenschützer Matthias Eberl hat 130 deutsche Nachrichtenseiten und Verlagsangebote analysiert. Sein Fazit: Facebook liest fast überall mit. Durch Tracking-Tools kann der Konzern in vielen Fällen erkennen, welche Artikel ein Facebook-Nutzer anklickt. Die Gesetze untersagen diese Form von Tracking, aber die Verlage stört das nicht.
Frances Coppola, Forbes 30 June 2019: From a financial perspective, Libra seems fairly harmless. Even if all 2bn of Facebook’s users adopted Libra for some transactions, and all 90m of its small businesses used Libra for purchases and sales, it is not going to pose a major threat to the financial system, let alone replace sovereign currencies. But Libra is in reality a vehicle for bringing about Facebook’s wider aim of becoming the standard setter for digital identity. And that is a much, much bigger issue. Facebook is the last organization on earth that should have anything to do with digital identity or standards setting. For that reason, Libra must be stopped.
Die Plattform Facebook glaubt an eine bessere Diskussionskultur, wenn sie nur Nutzer mit Klarnamen zulässt. Politiker plädieren sogar für eine Klarnamenpflicht in allen sozialen Netzwerken. Matthias Schwarzer hält beides für Blödsinn: Der Klarname hindere kaum jemanden an Hassbotschaften – im Gegenteil.
