Elisabeth
Warren, Democratische politicus en hoogleraar, die mee gaat doen aan de
presidentsverkiezingen in 2020, wil de macht van bedrijven als
Facebook (FB), Amazon en Google breken. Waar ze vooral FB de bel aanbindt
met het gevoerde bedrijfsbeleid waarin commentaar op het beleid van het bedrijf op het FB platform niet
wordt getolereerd……

Dit is geen nieuw beleid van FB, maar is vanaf 2007 de bedoeling geweest (van Zuckerberg), aldus Matt Stoller van het Open Markets Institute, Zuckerberg wenst geen discussie over Facebook op het FB platform…..

Als
dank voor Warrens volkomen terechte kritiek weigerde FB nog langer
een reclame voor het presidentschap uit te zenden, waarin ze de macht van de genoemde 3 bedrijven aan de kaak stelt……. Na fikse kritiek
is dit intussen wel teruggedraaid.

Echter
Warren was maar wat blij met de actie van FB, daar dit bedrijf met
haar actie Warren gelijk gaf met haar kritiek op de macht van FB….

Warren
heeft overigens al laten weten dat wanneer het aan haar ligt, de
macht van bedrijven als de genoemde 3 zal worden afgebroken.

With
Blocked Ads Proving Her Point, Warren Says Facebook Shouldn’t Have
Power to Decide What Is and Isn’t Allowed for ‘Robust Debate’

“Curious
why I think FB has too much power? Let’s start with their ability to
shut down a debate over whether FB has too much power.”

In
a move Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) described as a perfect example
of why her
plan to break up tech giants is
necessary, Facebook late Monday took down ads from Warren’s
presidential campaign that promoted the proposal and denounced tech
corporations—including Facebook itself—for exploiting users’
private information for profit.

Though
the ads were later restored, Warren said the episode demonstrates the
need for a “social media marketplace that isn’t dominated by a
single censor”—a point that was echoed by
critics of big tech’s monopoly power.

“Curious
why I think FB has too much power? Let’s start with their ability to
shut down a debate over whether FB has too much power,” the
Massachusetts senator wrote, using the hashtag #BreakUpBigTech.

Curious why I think FB has too much power? Let’s start with their ability to shut down a debate over whether FB has too much power. Thanks for restoring my posts. But I want a social media marketplace that isn’t dominated by a single censor. #BreakUpBigTech

You shouldn’t have to contact Facebook’s publicists in order for them to decide to “allow robust debate” about Facebook. They shouldn’t have that much power.

Earlier this year, @Facebook blocked an ad we tried to run for a story about FB allegedly duping game-playing kids out of their parents’ money.

The company only approved the ad *after* we reached out to their comms team.

Here’s the story in question: https://www.revealnews.org/blog/a-judge-unsealed-a-trove-of-internal-facebook-documents-following-our-legal-action/ … https://twitter.com/viaCristiano/status/1105235358596386821 …

The
Facebook ad by Warren’s 2020 presidential campaign boosted her newly
released plan to
“break up big tech” by highlighting how concentration of
power in the hands of just three corporate behemoths—Facebook,
Amazon, and Google—has affected the U.S. economy and democracy
itself.

“Three
companies have vast power over our economy and our democracy.
Facebook, Amazon, and Google,” read the ad. “We all use
them. But in their rise to power, they’ve bulldozed competition, used
our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field in
their favor.”

“It’s
time to break up these big companies so they don’t have so much power
over everyone else,” Warren’s ad continued. “I’ve got a
plan to protect consumers and competition.”

On
Monday evening, the ad was briefly replaced
with the following message:
“This ad was taken down because it goes against Facebook’s
advertising policies.”

After
the move sparked immediate backlash, Facebook issued a statement
claiming the ads were pulled because “they violated our policies
against use of our corporate logo.”

“In
the interest of allowing robust debate,” the statement
continued, “we are restoring the ads.”

As
Open Markets Institute fellow Matt Stoller pointed out, Facebook’s
policy barring the use of its corporate logo originated a decade ago
in response to a group titled “Facebook Users Against the New
Terms of Service.”

Following
the group’s formation, Stoller noted, Facebook instituted a ban on
the use of the company name or logo in ads and group titles.

In the name of debate? Facebook banned the use of its name and logo about a decade ago in response to a large group titled ‘Facebook users against the new terms of service.’

Facebook says it is now restoring the Break up Facebook ads by Warren campaign.

“We removed the ads because they violated our policies against use of our corporate logo. In the interest of allowing robust debate, we are restoring the ads.”

“In
other words, it has been policy for Facebook not to allow political
debates about Facebook on Facebook,” Stoller concluded.
“Facebook has been autocratic since the roll-out of Beacon in
2007. Barring users from organizing on Facebook about Facebook was an
important part of Zuckerberg’s control of his platform’s politics.”
