APPLE NEWS PLUS NOW HAS THE NEW YORK TIMES’ SPORTS COVERAGE, BUT NOT THE NYT

Posted on December 19, 2023 by

Articles published by New York Times-owned sports journal The Athletic and its
staff of over 450 full-time writers, editors, and producers are now part of
Apple News Plus, Apple’s $12.99 per month subscription news plan, in the US, the
UK, Canada, and Australia. Meanwhile, Wirecutter stories are also coming to
Apple News and will start appearing in the free feed “early next year.”
Both publications have been off of Apple News since The New York Times left
Apple’s news aggregator in 2020, blaming the lack of a “direct path” for readers
to take back to its websites and saying it wanted more control of its
relationship with its readers. While the Times’ reporting isn’t back, Athletic
publisher David Perpich told Axios this new deal made…

META’S AUTOMATED TOOLS REMOVED ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR CONTENT THAT DIDN’T BREAK ITS
RULES

Posted on December 19, 2023 by

Meta’s Oversight Board has published its decision for its first-ever expedited
review, which only took 12 days instead of weeks, focusing on content
surrounding the Israel-Hamas war. The Board overturned the company’s original
decision to remove two pieces of content from both sides of the conflict. Since
it supported Meta’s subsequent move to restore the posts on Facebook and
Instagram, no further action is expected from the company. However, the Board’s
review cast a spotlight on how Meta’s reliance on automated tools could prevent
people from sharing important information. In this particular case, the Board
noted that “it increased the likelihood of removing valuable posts informing the
world about human suffering on both sides of the conflict in the Middle East.”
For its first expedited review, the Oversight Board chose to investigate two
particular appeals that represent what the users in the affected region have
been submitting since the October 7th attacks. One of them is a video posted on
Facebook of a woman begging her captors not to kill her when she was taken
hostage during the initial terrorist attacks on Israel. The other video posted
on Instagram shows the aftermath of a strike on the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza
during Israel’s ground offensive. It showed dead and injured Palestinians,
children included.
The Board’s review found that the two videos were mistakenly removed after Meta
adjusted its automated tools to be more aggressive in policing content following
the October 7 attacks. For instance, the Al-Shifa Hospital video takedown and
the rejection of a user appeal to get it reinstated were both made without human
intervention. Both videos were later restored with warning screens stating that
such content is allowed for the purpose of news reporting and raising awareness.
The Board commented that Meta “should have moved more quickly to adapt its
policy given the fast-moving circumstances, and the high costs to freedom and
access to information for removing this kind of content…” It also raised
concerns that the company’s rapidly changing approach to moderation could give
it an appearance of arbitrariness and could put its policies in question.
That said, the Board found that Meta demoted the content it reinstated with
warnning screens. It excluded them from being recommended to other Facebook and
Instagram users even after the company determined that they were intended to
raise awareness. To note, a number of users had reported being shadowbanned in
October after posting content about the conditions in Gaza.
The Board also called attention to how Meta only allowed hostage-taking content
from the October 7th attacks to be posted by users from its cross-check lists
between October 20 and November 16. These lists are typically made up of
high-profile users exempted from the company’s automated moderation system. The
Board said Meta’s decision highlights its concerns about the program,
specifically its “unequal treatment of users [and] lack of transparent criteria
for inclusion.” It said that the company needs “to ensure greater representation
of users whose content is likely to be important from a human-rights perspective
on Meta’s cross-check lists.”
“We welcome the Oversight Board’s decision today on this case. Both expression
and safety are important to us and the people who use our services. The board
overturned Meta’s original decision to take this content down but approved of
the subsequent decision to restore the content with a warning screen. Meta
previously reinstated this content so no further action will be taken on it,”
the company told Engadget in a statement. “As explained in our Help Center, some
categories of content are not eligible for recommendations and the board
disagrees with Meta barring the content in this case from recommendation
surfaces. There will be no further updates to this case, as the board did not
make any recommendations as part of their decision.”This article originally
