    OK, why is this FB Custom Audiences political micro-targeting "success story" (absent 2 days ago) now back online? This is the type of thing that fuels conspiracies #🗿👾

    Images below show my Pinterest home screen lately. I've never even saved a Pin, use account only for research. A postmodern content hellscape, a political algorithmic memepocalypse. *Pin on right: Stop All Invaders. Auto-delivered [deleted] hate memes. Is this Russia's fault?

    aka Before any more promises are made about preventing problems in the future w/tech wizardry & maybe some free user + contract labor, platforms first need to accept their role & clean up mess they've made. Including tech now owned by telco mega-lobbying superpowers like Verizon

    Tens of thousands of still-remaining posts are sitting on FB/IG/Twttr/Pintrst/Tumblr. They take some time to find, but these aren't getting magically removed by ML detection, super-hashing & API sniffing algorithms. Why? Because we're not talking future, we're talking about now.

    The massive Tumblr PropOp just adds more weight to argument "Russia" actions were reprehensible, but they aren't fundamental threat to tech&democracy. There was basically *no* authentication of identity/parental supervision on platform of 750 million users (~10% of US internet)

    Even though gone, I would encourage to make sure this matter gets duly looked into. David is a visionary who has always been more of a doer than sayer. He's gone to great lengths over course of a decade to ensure Tumblr grew into un-corporatized space that it is today

    Tumblr is one of the keys to reaching younger demographic in United States. Overall, it's in same league as Twitter. It matters. The ~10% of Americans who use it matter. Just because it's not FB or Twitter doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken seriously:

    Tumblr (~750M users) is one of the centers of internet, meme, and fan culture. In US especially, users skew younger and spend far more time on Tumblr than on Twitter. It's a visual, creative, and highly engaged platform

    👕4mysquad Tumblr easily one of the most prolific personas yet; On-the-ground link🏡& PR hub. Millions of interactions from ~150 posts; thousands of impassioned notes from concerned activists. Embeds/posts *still* littered across Tmblr FB Twttr Reddit %2F&t=Real🌏Impact

    NEW: BuzzFeed: Tumblr hasn't faced the public scrutiny like FB and Twitter, but it has been home to a powerful, largely unrevealed network of Russian trolls focused on black issues and activism.

    There are sectors of the digital news ecosystem with far greater reach and impact on regular people than Twitter, yet tend to be overlooked by most research. YouTube is one of them. Glad to see this work.

    A fascinating, important in-depth investigation of how YouTube's recommendation algorithm apparently functioned in the 2016 election: no matter which political side the researcher started from, the platform pushed pro-Trump, anti-Clinton videos.
