The news media, on both sides of the Atlantic, suffers from a basic inability to tell the truth. It suffers from either both sides-ing things (when both sides aren't the same) or a basic refusal to tell you what happened and who was to blame.

It does this because the owners of news media have taken a side.

And the side isn't your side.

Teenagers Tell Us About Their Relationship With News

how and why media — online, in print, and on TV — treats news as a product, and how that shapes the way they think and feel. Some said that made them not want to be informed, but many others shared their strategies for navigating the noise

You might've noticed, we're looking a bit different.

Last week we celebrated the one year anniversary of our Newsmast app opening to the public.

Now we're looking to the future and there's a lot of exciting things on the way from The Newsmast Foundation.

That's why we now look a bit fresher!

You can see this video to get a summary of what we've done and what's next...

Kevin Cohen, conseiller municipal à Romainville, démissionne après avoir simulé une agression lors d'une conférence sur la Palestine. L'ex-élu, également militant à l'UEJF, présentes "ses excuses". Les images de l'ancien conseiller municipal affirmant "on me frappe" alors que ce n'était pas le cas, on "buzzé". L'intéressé aurait fait une "crise de panique", affirme le président de l'UEJF dans une interview au Parisien.

We live in an amazing time — a Pakistani website specializing in the publication of fake news, created by AI to earn advertising revenue, posted an announcement of a non-existent Halloween parade in Dublin.

The article was picked up by search algorithms and rose in Google search results.

Journalists began spreading the news in their publications without even bothering to check it.

As a result, thousands of people came to the square, ready to participate in a parade that didn't exist.

Is X (and other US social media) disregarding its international obligations and duties to prevent war crimes, for example, not supporting profiles or speech on its platform that want to prevent said crimes?

»The Most Important Election of a Lifetime?« https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/most_important_election_harris_trump_rogan_bezos.php?eicker.media #media #socialmedia


I somehow ended up in a FB comment section where a mom posted a photo of the mess in her house.

The comments are all along the lines of
"Keeping your house tidy is easy! I enjoy doing it so much! You just have to know where the place of everything is, and you have to put things back in their place every time!"

...
...
...

I think I might have pulled an optical nerve rolling my eyes.

My entire Facebook account (with all my connected pages and groups) was suspended without warning yesterday & my appeal was denied. I shared a post about this on Medium:

I reported 5+ "great nature photography!" pages on FB today. All of them were posting ridiculous AI generated animal images. I am so sick and tired of this.

(And yes, I'm on FB, because as a freelancer it's hard not to be. But it's just a glorified email account by now.)

TikTok bans account of Australian influencer who promoted nicotine pouches in viral videos https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/mar/28/tiktok-ban-stefan-kohut-account-nicotine-pouches-promotion-snus

TikTok said Kohut’s account had been banned from the platform as it was in violation of its community guidelines. “Content that depicts or promotes the sale or trade of tobacco, including novel nicotine products, is prohibited by our strict Community Guidelines,” a spokesperson said. “In addition, the advertisement of vaping products is also forbidden on TikTok.”

Ex-Twitter executives sue Elon Musk for $128m in unpaid severance https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/04/former-twitter-execs-sue-elon-musk-severance
Suit by former employees, including ex-CEO Parag Agrawal, follows a separate legal complaint by other workers seeking $500m. #uslaw #socialmedia


Judge skeptical of lawsuit brought by Elon Musk's X over hate speech research https://www.npr.org/2024/02/29/1234901186/judge-skeptical-of-lawsuit-brought-by-elon-musks-x-over-hate-speech-research 'In a hearing over Zoom on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer appeared highly skeptical of the case, devoting the majority of the proceeding to grilling Musk's lawyer over why the lawsuit was brought at all.

Jon Hawk, X's lawyer, said at core the suit is about honoring data security agreements to protect the platform's users.

Breyer was unconvinced.

"You put that in terms of safety, and I've got to tell you, I guess you can use that word, but I can't think of anything basically more antithetical to the First Amendment than this process of silencing people from publicly disseminated information once it's been published," Breyer said.

"You're trying to shoehorn this theory by using these words into a viable breach of contract claim," the judge added.' #socialmedia #Twitter #ElonMusk #freespeech #research #hatespeech


Wake me up when record labels and media companies learn how to build marketing platforms, besides extracting feudal rents from others who do the job they should be doing.

#Music #UMG #SocialMedia #TikTok #Copyright #IP: "Universal Music is set to pull its millions of songs from TikTok after a breakdown in talks over payments.

The move would mean the social media platform would no longer have access to songs by artists including Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Drake.

Universal accused TikTok of "bullying" and said it wanted to pay a "fraction" of the rate other social media sites do for access to its vast catalogue.

TikTok said Universal was presenting a "false narrative and rhetoric".

Music companies earn royalty payments when their songs are played on streaming and social media platforms.

Although TikTok - which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance - has more than one billion users, it accounts for just 1% of Universal's total revenue, the label said."

#Gaza #Israel

The #watermelon has long been a symbol of protest for #Palestinians, and as #SocialMedia users suspect platforms of censoring content about #Gaza, the corresponding emoji is being used in place of the Palestinian flag. Like the flag, the emoji is also red, green and black. #SocialMedia

FB just asked me if I want AI to answer questions in my group for me and "generate activity" and, to quote Dorothy Parker

I am having a moment of being anxious over how my toots lately have been Off Brand, and I am not putting up enough folklore/storytelling content. And I worry people will unfollow me for not being On Brand.

Then I realize this is probably peak Birbsite conditioning talking... 😬

As of today, I have been on Mastodon for one year (after 12 on the birb site). No regrets. I have more meaningful interactions, more followers who are real people, and my timeline feels a lot less like doomscrolling. It has been good for my mental health.

I know Mastodon is not perfect, and there are important things to do better. I hope we will. This place deserves it.
