    👋 New from me: Facebook (somewhat bizarrely?) keeps suggesting that 'other companies' might want to use the Oversight Board, too. So I asked a bunch of people what they thought about that.

    Major yikes (also I recall reading one of the stories about how this lady just hopped on a plane to Qatar and thinking that none of these stories actually explained what she did other than maybe make one phone call?)

    New + exclusive with : Antivaxx Facebook groups have become obsessed with a telemedicine app that prescribes ivermectin online. Turns out the site is American Frontline Doctors, the pro-Trump group whose founder stormed the Capitol on 1/6.

    What's happening in invermectin groups rn is incredibly disturbing (as this story shows) besides people giving out shady advice on dosing etc. I've seen people suggest they "sneak" the drugs into hospitalized loved ones or that they medicate their children

    In which YouTube sounds a lot like Facebook, arguing that "most people" aren't seeing "bad content"

    I haven't heard of this happening but it doesn't surprise me! Rogue Instagram employees have been able to abuse their access/tools to sell verification and engage in lots of other shadiness

    Yet another example of just how desperate things can get when you lose an Instagram account that's your main business/income source

    you mean the VC bros going around here saying that the govt is covering up ivermectin as a covid treatment.. might be wrong?

    A lot of Mississippians are trying to treat COVID with cow deworming meds. MSDH: "At least 70% of the recent calls (to poison control) have been related to ingestion of livestock or animal formulations of ivermectin purchased at livestock supply centers."

    this is.. bizarre

    We've gotten a ton of messages from creators with screenshots from DMs with OnlyFans Support () about how there are no changes being made regarding explicit content. We have received word from PR that this account has zero affiliation with OnlyFans.

    as funny as it is to dunk on these terrible memes, it would be tragic if FB yanked/otherwise kneecapped CrowdTangle and used these quarterly "transparency reports" as a stand in

    If anything, this is proving what a powerful tool CrowdTangle is to understand the universe of FB posts. And underscores what a shame it is that FB yanked it away from the ppl who put yrs of blood & sweat & tears into building it—its future uncertain now

    As lots of people pointing out, this report is ... very strange! Some of it seems almost spammy (the CBD shop, other random ecommerce junk) and so much is just boring and dumb (see above)

    And so on down the list. I have a theory about why these links were deemed "widely viewed," but it's possible that Facebook accidentally shipped a list of its most prolific affiliate marketing spammers instead of its most viewed domains.
