Facebook leak underscores strategy to operate in repressive regimes | Facebook | The Guardian

Facebook è diventato una giurisdizione? <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/mar/23/facebook-leak-underscore…> Facebook leak underscores strategy to operate in repressive regimes Facebook users are permitted to praise mass murderers and “violent non-state actors” in certain situations, according to internal guidelines that underline how the tech corporation is striving to operate in repressive regimes. The leak also reveals that Facebook maintains a list of “recognised crimes” and instructs its moderators to distinguish between those and “crimes not recognised by FB” when applying the company’s rules. The list is designed to avoid giving succour to countries where criminal law is considered incompatible with basic human rights. “We only recognise crimes that cause physical, financial or mental injury to individual(s)” such as “theft, robbery and fraud, murder, vandalism [and] non-consensual sexual touching”, the guidelines say. Crimes not recognised by Facebook include “claims about sexuality”, “peaceful protests against governments” and “discussing historical events/controversial subjects such as religion”. Facebook argues this is the only way it can function in countries where the rule of law is shaky. But the revelation of its explicit decision to place itself above the law may cause friction with governments round the world. “One of the biggest problems is that Facebook has gone into every single country on the planet with no idea of the impact,” said Wendy Via, the co-founder and president of the US-based Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. She described Facebook, which was founded in the US, as having “little language capability and zero cultural competency”, adding: “You can’t build secret rules if you can’t understand the situation.” Even in the US, Facebook has struggled to deal with cultural changes. The documents give insight into how Facebook struggled to define and act against the far-right QAnon movement. Accounts associated with QAnon were banned across the platform in October 2020 after years of growing popularity and controversy. Defining QAnon as a “violence-inducing conspiracy network”, the company now bans non-state actors that “are organised under a name, sign mission statement or symbol; AND promote theories that attribute violent or dehumanising behaviour to people or organizations that have been debunked by credible sources; AND have advocated for incidents of real-world violence to draw attention to or redress the supposed harms promoted in those debunked theories”, according to the leaked guidelines for moderators, which date from December 2020.

"Spain’s platform workers win algorithm transparency"
by J.C. DE MARTIN March 23, 2021

March 23, 2021

*Spain’s platform workers win algorithm transparency* Ane Aranguiz /on 18th March 2021 @AneAranguiz/ Legal amendments will not only recognise ‘riders’ as employees but require algorithm transparency from platforms generally. algorithm transparencyAne Aranguiz After arduous negotiations, the Spanish government and the social partners reached an agreement on the labour rights of people working for digital platforms on March 9th. The agreement aims to establish the employment status of those engaged in the delivery or distribution of any consumer product or merchandise via a digital platform. It does so on two basic premises: a presumption of employment and algorithm transparency. [...] continua qui: https://www.socialeurope.eu/spains-platform-workers-win-algorithm-transpare…

Sci-Hub: Police warn students and universities against using 'the Pirate Bay of science'
by Giacomo Tesio March 22, 2021

March 22, 2021

Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions. Russia-based Sci-Hub describes itself as "the first pirate website in the world to provide mass and public access to tens of millions of research papers", and is run in support of the Open Access movement, responding to the increasingly large fees charged by publishers. However, the City of London Police have claimed the organisation obtains the papers it shares "through a variety of malicious means, such as the use of phishing emails to trick university staff and students into divulging their login credentials". "Sci-Hub then use this to compromise the university's network and download the research papers," the police added. [...] Peter Suber, a prominent advocate for the Open Access movement, has warned that using unlawful methods would result in the Open Access movement being given a bad name. [...] However, the site remains extremely popular among students and a number of academics, with numerous posts on social media celebrating their ability to access research that has often been conducted using public funds. [...] "Sci-Hub, and similar pirate sites, also threaten the research process," the SNSI statement added. "Unlike academic publishers and societies, they have no incentive to ensure the accuracy of scientific articles, no incentive to ensure published papers meet ethical standards, and no incentive to retract or correct articles if issues arise." [...] Continua con una buona quantità di FUD contro sci-hub su http://web.archive.org/web/20210321115431/https://news.sky.com/story/police… Dunque mi raccomando con tutti i giovani lettori di questa lista: NON visitate siti come https://sci-hub.se/ o https://sci-hub.st/ Danneggereste i profitti dei poveri editori che tanto fanno per regolare l'accesso alla conscenza! Non vorrete mica violare le leggi sul copyright! L'obiezione di coscienza... è roba da adulti! ;-) Giacomo
