Russian disinformation in the United States is about immigration. The real aim is to undercut Ukraine aid
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Technology/wireStory/russian-disinformation-immigration-real-aim-undercut-ukraine-aid-107711427


Documents show that Facebook knows, in acute detail, that its platforms algorithms are riddled with flaws that cause people harm, often in ways only the company fully understands. Moreover, the documents show, Facebook often lacks the will or the ability to address them, possibly due to a loss in profits for Facebook if these problems are addressed.

Potentially the more content (bot generated or real) posted on Facebook & Instagram and pushed to people via Facebook & Instagram’s algorithms, the longer people stay on the platforms, the more advertising revenue that Facebook & Instagram make.

Today I'm stretching more canvas art.

The rest of the week I'm taking a mini-vacation/Spring break from the fiat mine and getting some large projects completed on our homestead. We're painting buildings, a porch, and wooden fence... among other things!

Russians fake news sites are filling America's news shortage
Fake news sites are spreading polarizing misinformation while real newspapers die. The US lost more than 130 print newspapers in 2023, The Conversation said, and nearly 2,900 newspapers have closed since 2005. That leaves "thousands of communities that simply do not have access to local news." Russian propaganda sites might be helping fill the vacuum.

A request to tweak a Facebook algorithm that would reduce the spread of fake news was approved, but Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg ordered that its impact should be reduced 80%, lest it affect growth or profits. Zuckerberg then told former employee Carlos Gomez Uribe who proposed the change, “Don’t bring me something like this again.”

A study published by the University of Oxford found that three websites linked to Russia—engaged in “significant and persistent interactions” with veterans during 2016 US elections, concluding in part that veterans are targeted because they tend to be “community leaders” trusted by the public.

About 40% of the traffic in 2018 was pushed by algorithms and ads to Facebook pages that stole or repurposed most of their content, according to a research report by Facebook senior data scientist Jeff Allen, primarily by fake accounts and troll farms. “This is the basic game plan used by many bad actors,” Mr. Allen wrote in his 2019 presentation. Facebook researchers said the tactic is an effective way to build a large audience on Facebook and has been used by foreign and domestic groups that post polarizing content and false information. Mr. Allen said in the research reports that Facebook wasn’t as aggressive as Alphabet. Inc.’s YouTube in proactively policing violations. This might be due to the related loss of profit.

Facebook Executives Shut Down Efforts to Make the Site Less Divisive, Seemingly for Fear of Profit Loss. The social-media giant internally studied how it polarizes users, then largely shelved the research

“Our algorithms exploit the human brain’s attraction to divisiveness,” read a slide from a 2018 presentation. “If left unchecked,” it warned, Facebook would feed users “more and more divisive content in an effort to gain user attention & increase time on the platform.”

Mr. Zuckerberg and other senior executives largely shelved the basic research, according to internal documents and people familiar with the effort, and weakened or blocked efforts to apply its conclusions to Facebook products.

Facebook ignored or was slow to act on evidence that fake accounts on its platform have been undermining elections and political affairs around the world, according to a memo sent by one of many whistleblowers, data scientist Sophie Zhang. In countries including India, Ukraine, Spain, Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador, she found evidence of coordinated campaigns of varying sizes to boost or hinder political candidates or outcomes, though she did not always conclude who was behind them.

Former Facebook exec Antonio Garcia-Martinez: Mark Zuckerberg was being disingenuous when he expressed doubt that Facebook algorithms could have flipped an election. Facebook deploys a political advertising sales team, specialized by political party, & charged with convincing deep-pocketed politicians that they do have the kind of algorithms needed to alter the outcome of elections.

Survey: 55% of Latino Protestants support Christian nationalism in the United States in 2024. Hispanic Protestants are among the biggest supporters of Christian nationalism despite the belief system's anti-immigrant and anti-diversity stances. Ovetall more than 4 in 10 Americans think the U.S. should be a Christian nation. That’s according to a poll from the Pew Research Center in 2022.

Russia’s 2024 election interference has already begun. Moscow is spreading disinformation in the United States to lessen U.S. military aid to Ukraine and U.S. support for NATO, former U.S. officials and cyber experts say.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna134204


Sophie Zhang, a former data scientist at Facebook, revealed that it enables global political manipulation and has done little to stop it. Her account supplied concrete evidence to support what critics had long been saying on the outside: that Facebooks algorithms makes election interference easy, and that unless such activity hurts the company’s business interests, it can’t be bothered to fix the problem.

Facebook has kept internal research secret for years that suggests its Instagram app makes body image issues worse for teenage girls, according to a leak from the tech firm. Since at least 2019, staff at the company have been studying the impact of their product on its younger users’ states of mind. Their research has repeatedly found it is harmful for a large proportion, and particularly teenage girls.

“We make body image issues worse for 1 in 3 teen girls,” said a slide from one Instagram presentation in 2019, seen by the Wall Street Journal. “32% of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse,” a presentation reported in March 2020. Another slide said: “Teens blame Instagram for increases in the rate of anxiety and depression. This reaction was unprompted and consistent across all groups.”

Political tension is growing in America and beyond. And with the 2024 United States presidential election on the horizon, there’s concern that increased political tension will lead to violence.

A recent national survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) reported that nearly a quarter of Americans support political violence – 23%. That’s an increase from 15% in 2021.

Troll farms reached 140 million Americans a month on Facebook before 2020 election, internal report shows. Facebook’s most popular pages for Christian and Black American content were being run by Eastern European troll farms. These pages were part of a larger network that collectively reached nearly half of all Americans, according to an internal company report, and achieved that reach not through user choice but primarily as a result of Facebook’s own platform design and engagement-hungry algorithm.

India is the country where the risk of disinformation and misinformation was ranked highest. The South Asian nation’s next general election is expected to be held between April and May 2024. Fake news had been rife in India’s 2019 election, with Vice reporting how parties had “weaponized the (algorithms and) platforms [of Whatsapp and Facebook] to spread incendiary messages to supporters, heightening fears that online anger could spill over into real-world violence.”

Media Matters is calling on Meta to address anti-abortion misinformation on Facebook & Instagram. Facebook & Instagram algorithms continues to push conservative talking points at the cost of suppressing accurate information about abortion an especially concerning trend as reproductive health access is increasingly restricted in the post-Roe v. Wade era.

This piece, as many like I’ve done before, is also quoting a classical painting.

The Threatened Swan, by Jan Asselijin.

This painting got a reinterpretation in 1800, from a threatened creature to a protector figure.

I took this second view to propose this drawing.

The swan shifts from its elegant, quiet shape into a fierce, empowered & threatening version of himself. The animal is willing to die defending what is most precious to him, the promise of the future.

In a society where kids are born into debt, becoming aware of this and hodling Bitcoin its in itself an action of revolution.
This is part of the reasons that made me want to homage the hodlers…

Facebook Is Still No.1 Social Media Site For News. According to a November 2023 Pew study, 43% of U.S. adults regularly turn to Facebook for news.

 A 2023 study published by Government Information Quarterly found that frequent Facebook users were more likely to consume misinformation or “fake news” than users of other platforms. Further, researchers in a 2023 USC-led study found that it was the incentive structure of the platform itself — not individual user behavior — that was to blame for the spread of misinformation. According to the researchers, Facebook’s algorithm is designed to reward and prioritize the sharing of incendiary content.
