上周，我们报道了两起针对谷歌母公司Alphabet的新诉讼，指控董事会行为不当，同意向被发现有***不端的高管支付数千万美元。原告正在谷歌寻求一系列内部改革，首先是终止强制仲裁协议，这些协议限制了员工在工作场所受到歧视时的合法权利。

代表股东的原告在字母员工中有着天然的盟友。这些员工今天将在**发起新的公众意识运动，并在社交媒体上进行为期一天的**时接过指挥棒。Nitasha Tiku的详细信息如下：

From 9am to 6pm eastern time on Tuesday, the group will post information about arbitration on a dedicated Twitteraccount, while a companion Instagram account will post testimonials from both experts and survivors of sexual haras**ent and assault. The purpose of the social media blitz is to bring awareness to the fine print in arbitration clauses, mobilize workers to call on Congress to act, and encourage employees at other companies to demand changes.

“This isn’t just a Google issue. If they all have these arbitration agreements, then there is really is no way for employees to negotiate,” says Vicki Tardif, a staff linguist on Google’s search team, who organized and spoke at the Google walkout in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mandatory arbitration agreements, often signed as part of an employment contract, have come under fire during the #MeToo movement for silencing survivors, while shielding serial predators, because the agreements force employees to take their claims to a private arbiter, rather than public court.

组织者在今天的一篇媒体文章中写道，谷歌此举的部分原因是，谷歌感到沮丧，因为该公司在11月的谷歌**后没有像承诺的那样终止仲裁协议：

The change yielded a win in the headlines, but provided no meaningful gains for worker equity … nor any actual change in employee contracts or future offer letters. (As of this publication, we have confirmed Google is still sending out offer letters with the old arbitration policy.)

So in December 2018, we launched an industry-wide effort focused on ending forced arbitration. This practice affects at least 60 million workers in the US alone. Ending forced arbitration is the gateway change needed to transparently address inequity in the workplace.

Tiku说，反仲裁运动代表了科技公司萌芽中的劳工运动的分水岭时刻，因为它涉及多家公司。她报告说，谷歌从Facebook、优步和其他公司以及承包商那里众包**合同。他们发现，没有一家接受调查的公司选择仲裁，允许员工提起集体诉讼，或允许他们讨论自己的案件。

过去两年的大部分时间都在考虑最大的科技平台对用户的影响力。谷歌人在这里的工作提醒我们，由于对技术的高要求，技术工人对公司有多大的影响力。如果终止仲裁的运动被证明是成功的，那么这种力量将波及整个行业。

德国反垄断监管机构将对Facebook采取行动：报告

德国《图片报》周日报道，德国联邦卡特尔办公室计划命令Facebook停止收集某些类型的用户数据：

The German watchdog objects in particular to how Facebook acquires data on people from third-party apps — including its own WhatsApp and Instagram services as well as games and websites — and its tracking of people who are not members.

The paper said it is still not clear how strictly Facebook will have to comply with the German order, noting that the watchdog looks likely to set a deadline for compliance rather than insisting on immediate action.

调查Facebook的国会工作人员对该公司的回答感到非常恼火

阿里·布雷兰（Ali Breland）报道，一些国会工作人员匿名抱怨Facebook对他们关于数据隐私问题的回答：

“They’re very good at running out the clock on you. They get on the line, they do their intro, they talk for 15 minutes without stopping. Then you ask your question, then they spend 10 minutes answering, and before you know it, the call is over,” one aide told Mother Jones.

Four congressional sources Mother Jones spoke with, who requested anonymity to speak frankly, said Facebook often provided unsatisfying or incomplete answers when pressed by lawmakers and their staff. When Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) asked what the company was doing with users’ private messages, according to an aide on the call, Facebook responded that it doesn’t do anything users don’t allow.

被Facebook禁止的PH公司散布谎言，使用假账户

周五，Facebook在菲律宾取缔了一家名为Twinmark Media Enterprises的数字营销集团，该集团拥有220个页面，拥有4300万用户。Rappler报告说，它与**有联系，并经常传播支持杜特尔特的宣传：

In December of 2017, Rappler ran a series of stories on Trending News Portal (TNP), a website that brands itself as a”digital news outfit”, specializing in viral stories. Apart from viral content, bulk of its stories in 2016 are on President Duterte, among them questionable stories against his critics.

Then Presidential Communicati*** Operati*** Office (PCOO) Assistant Secretary Margaux “Mocha” Uson posted more than 500 posts linking to the site (trendingnewsportal.net.ph or tnp.ph) which has since changed URLs. This is despite the fact that early versi*** of the site had a disclaimer that said they can’t vouch for the accuracy of their reports.

在计划改变后，GoFundMe将退还修建特朗普长城的所有2000万美元捐款

一位伊拉克战争老兵以推假新闻而闻名，他用病毒性的，诱饵和转换众筹活动中，他首先说他筹集的2000万美元将捐给**，然后说将捐给“他说他自己为了建造一堵墙而建立的一个私人非营利组织”。以下是大卫·麦克和布丽安娜·萨克斯：

Kolfage has repeatedly said he would not take any money from the wall donati***. He has started another GoFundMe campaign with a $100,000 goal that he says will be used to help him “Fight 4 Free Speech” and take action against Facebook, which deleted several of his pages in October during a major purge of inauthentic accounts.

Shortly after he established the wall fundraiser last month, Kolfage updated the webpage to include a separate website that included a Colorado P.O. box, where he said donors could mail personal checks to support the cause.

在RBG上搜索新闻？YouTube提供了关于最高**法官的阴谋论。

最高**大法官露丝·贝德·金斯伯格生病时，恶作剧者利用YouTube搜索传播阴谋论，托尼·罗姆和德鲁·哈维尔报道：

More than half of the top 20 search results for her initials, “RBG,” on Wednesday pointed to false far-right videos, some claiming doctors are using mysterious illegal drugs to keep her alive, according to a review by The Washington Post. Gin**urg has been absent from oral arguments at the Supreme Court this week as she recuperates from recent surgery to remove cancer from her lungs. Tests revealed Friday that she will need no further treatment and that her recovery is on track.

The falsehoods, most of which originated with the fringe movement QAnon, dramatically outnumbered results from credible news sources. Only one of the top results came from a mainstream news site, CNN, and it was an 11-month-old interview about her career. The algorithm rewarded the c***piracy videos over reliable news based on what it calculated was their “relevance,” signaling that the videos were probably new, popular or suitable to the search.

研究发现，大量Facebook用户会做出像吸毒成瘾者一样的决策

泰勒·哈特马克（Taylor Hatmaker）写了一篇关于一项新研究的文章，该研究试图发现Facebook的使用与爱荷华州赌博任务（评估决策技能）表现之间的相关性。这项研究有一些大的缺陷——举两个例子，一个小样本使用了关于Facebook使用情况的自我报告数据——但它表明进一步的研究是有必要的：

Study participants who self-reported as excessive Facebook users actually performed worse than their peers on the IGT, frequenting the two “bad” decks that offer immediate gains but ultimate result in losses. That difference in behavior was statistically significant in the latter portion of the IGT, when a participant has had ample time to observe the deck’s patterns and knows which decks present the greatest risk.

The IGT has been used to study everything from patients with frontal lobe brain injuries to ****** addicts, but using it as a measure to examine social media addicts is novel. Along with deeper, structural research, it’s clear that researchers can apply to social media users much of the existing methodological framework for learning about substance addiction.

西雅图一家电视台播放了特朗普椭圆形办公室演讲的篡改镜头。该雇员已被解雇。

这是一个合法的、非常不幸的地方电视台假新闻案件。这个故事的每一个暗示都是不好的：

The city’s Fox affiliate, Q13, beamed out doctored footage of Trump’s Tuesday address, according to the Seattle Times. The station’s broadcast showed Trump with a larger-than-normal head. His skin had a Cheetos-orange tint. And during his speech, the president’s tongue hung out of his mouth between sentences. It is unclear whether the footage ran live as Trump was giving his speech, or was replayed in later broadcasts.

成为Instagram丈夫的艺术

泰勒·洛伦兹（Taylor Lorenz）记录了“Instagram丈夫”的演变过程，这是一个千年术语，意思是“摄影师”

Though people have almost always relied on other people to take photos of themselves, Instagram and influencer culture has transformed that duty into a near-full-time job. In 2015, a fake PSA produced by Jeff Houghton solidified the term and went massively viral. With nearly 7 million views, the video profiles the men “behind every cute girl on Instagram.” They bemoan having to delete all the apps on their phone to make room for more photos and transforming into “a human selfie stick.”

In the three years since that video was shot, however, the term has evolved. The joke of the Instagram-hu**and video was that these men are miserable. You’re meant to sympathize with the men, who are presented as begrudging participants, and laugh or scoff at the women for forcing them to do something as “trivial” as taking endless photos. But Instagram and the digital landscape it created have shifted massively since the video was released. Those women people laughed at for taking endless photos in front of a brick wall are now influencers—people who leverage a social-media following to influence others and make money—and are worth milli***. And while men used to be seen as begrudging participants, more so-called Instagram hu**ands are embracing the term and becoming an integral part of their partner’s business.

你以前的推文泄露的位置数据比你想象的要多

Issie Lapowsky让我重新思考我对所有推文进行地理标记的决定：

AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP of researchers has developed an algorithmic tool that uses Twitter to automatically predict exactly where you live in a matter of minutes, with more than 90 percent accuracy. It can also predict where you work, where you pray, and other information you might rather keep private, like, say, whether you’ve frequented a certain strip club or gone to rehab.

The tool, called LPAuditor (short for Location Privacy Auditor), exploits what the researchers call an “invasive policy” Twitter deployed after it introduced the ability to tag tweets with a location in 2009. For years, users who chose to geotag tweets with any location, even something as geographically broad as “New York City,” also automatically gave their precise GPS coordinates. Users wouldn’t see the coordinates displayed on Twitter. Nor would their followers. But the GPS information would still be included in the tweet’s metadata and accessible through Twitter’s API.

微信明星创始人寻求中国超级应用的第二幕

马克·扎克伯格不是唯一一位在危险水域航行的社交媒体巨头。在某些方面，运行微信的挑战是完全不同的。但即使是一个或多或少被****认可为中国官方社交网络的应用程序，张也必须管理竞争。陈露露的故事：

While WeChat has been the star of China’s internet for years, newcomers like Bytedance Ltd. are now making things harder. The owner of Toutiao, Douyin and Tik Tok has become the world’s most valuable startup.

“The much-reported cannibalisation of screen time from Bytedance’s apps are obviously hurting WeChat, and with little wonder,” said Mark Tanner, founder of Shanghai-based research and marketing company China Skinny. “WeChat needs to stay relevant for those hundreds of milli*** of users who just want something simple to use, that looks good and is entertaining and are used to newer, shinier things being launched.”

Aaron Sorkin说《社交网络》应该有续集

艾伦·索金（Aaron Sorkin）因假装马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）创建Facebook是为了结识女孩而获得奥斯卡奖(事实上，扎克伯格已经在和将成为他妻子的普丽西拉·陈约会了。）索尔金下一个虚构的关于科技的幻想，史蒂夫·乔布斯，相对来说是个失败。所以现在他打算回到井里去看一部电影，这部电影已经是我最不期待的一部电影了，不管它是哪一年上映的。讨厌的

In a new AP Entertainment video, the Oscar-winning screenwriter revealed that he thinks it might be time for a follow-up to the hugely successful 2010 David Fincher film. “First of all, I know a lot more about Facebook in 2005 than I do in 2018 — but, I know enough to know that there should be a sequel,” said Sorkin, laughing.

Facebook新的事件分享故事功能听起来很有用

Nick Statt报告说，现在你可以将事件分享到你的Facebook故事中，以鼓励朋友们去：

The company said today that it plans to start testing a way “to share the events you’re interested in and coordinate to meet up with friends IRL” using Stories. The test will take place in the US, Brazil, and Mexico, and it should be available for mobile users on both iOS and Android.

Unlike your standard Stories feature, which Facebook initially cribbed from Snapchat for use on Instagram to help it become exceptionally more popular, this specific implementation is designed to share the details of an event with your friends. That way, you can see who may want to come to an upcoming show or some other activity that has a corresponding event page. The stories will come with tappable stickers for revealing event details, and friends can toggle themselves as “interested” or “going” to the event right from within the story. There’s also a link to the event page built in and a way to start a group chat on Messenger with friends who responded.

YouTube应用程序现在可以让你浏览视频，这样你就可以永远观看

当然，为什么不：

Previously, YouTube viewers had to active tap to move between videos, both on the site and on the app; now, app users can swipe left to see the video they were just watching, and swipe to move to the next recommendation in the queue. The main motivation? Ease of use.

更好的世界：一个关于希望的科幻项目

谁应该让马克·扎克伯格讨论技术的未来？

你会记得，扎克伯格2019年的个人挑战是做更多的内容营销。作为他计划的一系列公开讨论的一部分，Ringer的工作人员对他应该会见谁有一些挑衅性的想法，包括Alyssa Bereznak的这一想法：

In 2012, Lenny Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa lost their child, Noah, in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since then, they have endured haras**ent both online and in person, perpetuated by fringe, anti-government c***piracy groups that claim the event was a hoax. In an open letter published in The Guardian this past July, they detailed the ways that Facebook has allowed these groups to continue operating and how the company failed to offer any significant protection for their family.

Pozner and De La Rosa’s story is an excellent (and incredibly disturbing) example of how lives can be ruined when a massive online platform takes no resp***ibility in moderating information, and prioritizes growth over the well-being of the communities it’s meant to serve. Based on the many other examples we’ve seen in this vein, the way in which social media platforms plan to deal with similarly delicate situati*** should be a major topic when discussing the future of technology. And who better to challenge Zuckerberg on this conversation than the people who have suffered from his platform’s carelessness?
