Facebook ignored or was slow to act on evidence that fake accounts on its platform have been undermining elections and political affairs around the world, according to an explosive memo sent by a recently fired Facebook employee and obtained by BuzzFeed News.

The 6,600-word memo, written by former Facebook data scientist Sophie Zhang, is filled with concrete examples of heads of government and political parties in Azerbaijan and Honduras using fake accounts or misrepresenting themselves to sway public opinion. In countries including India, Ukraine, Spain, Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador she found evidence of coordinated campaigns of varying sizes to boost or hinder political candidates or outcomes, though she did not always conclude who was behind them.

“In the three years I’ve spent at Facebook, I’ve found multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry, and caused international news on multiple occasions,” wrote Zhang, who declined to talk to BuzzFeed News. Her Linkedin profile said she “worked as the data scientist for the Facebook Site Integrity fake engagement team” and dealt with “bots influencing elections and the like.”

“I have personally made decisions that affected national presidents without oversight, and taken action to enforce against so many prominent politicians globally that I’ve lost count,” she wrote.

The memo is a damning account of Facebook’s failures. It’s the story of Facebook abdicating responsibility for malign activities on its platform that could affect the political fate of nations outside the United States or Western Europe. It's also the story of a junior employee wielding extraordinary moderation powers that affected millions of people without any real institutional support, and the personal torment that followed.

I wish I were more sympathetic but that just feels like modern day Darwinism. If you're not smart enough utilize social media platforms without spotting obvious bullshit, or worse yet "Who cares if it's bullshit, my back yard is on fire", and you refuse to leave your home then shit's on you.

These "looters" are just saving all their valuables from the wildfires while the owners flee to safety.

Facebook’s first ‘smart glasses’ will be Ray-Bans, coming next year

Most likely another failure, but I really do think augmented reality is going to be the future.

By the time its good enough to be, well, good, I'll probably be too old to use it lol. But i'm happy with companies pursuing the technology.

I think we invested in a pretty future-proof hobby when we chose MMOs.

If we could get old people in retirement homes into MMOs, that would be a huge QoL improvement for them on a social level. Better yet if it was some kind of mildly active augmented-reality MMO.

**Karbuncle** · 2020-09-17 05:19

Sure wish I could find an MMO i actually enjoyed playing aside from XI, because I don't play XI anymore and nothing has filled that hole for me. Kinda hoping that Phantasy Star II - Reborn thing coming in 2021 is good... I played PSII when it came out and the gameplay was fun and getting new ability was fun, but the "teleport to small linear map" being the only form of gameplay was... not fun... even if some of the areas were absolutely beautiful for their age.

**Byrthnoth** · 2020-09-17 05:32

I think eventually game buyers will realize that graphics can't fix bad gameplay and we'll start seeing good AAA games again.

Doesn’t seem to matter to my FB friends who decry FB was liberal fake news because it deleted their fake coronavirus story or hate speech.

I mean he's right. Facebook would definitely fare better under Republicans. I mean rather thats a GOOD thing or not is up to you but its a pretty factual statement that Democrats are likely to take a very fine and thorough look at Facebook and its practices.
