Facebook says it will label 'newsworthy' posts from politicians that violate its rules, including those from US President Trump
Facebook said on Friday that it will flag all "newsworthy" posts from politicians that break its rules, including those from President Donald Trump.
Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Civic Media, said the changes are a “reminder of how powerful Facebook may be in terms of spreading disinformation during the upcoming election.” But Zuckerman noted that Facebook “has a history of trying hard not to alienate right-leaning users, and given how tightly President Trump has aligned himself with voter-suppressing missinfo, it seems likely that Facebook will erron the side of non-intrusive and ignorable labels, which would minimise impact of the campaign.”
“We have decided that starting now through at least the end of the year, we will not run brand advertising in social media newsfeed platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter in the US," Unilever said. “Continuing to advertise on these platforms at this time would not add value to people and society.”Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On Thursday, Verizon joined others in the Facebook boycott.

Trump administration says Huawei, other Chinese companies backed by military: reportChinese companies including Huawei Technologies Inc., China Mobile Communications Group and Hikvision Visual Technology Co. could face U.S. sanctions after a finding by the Trump administration that they are owned or controlled by China's military, Reuters reported Wednesday. The Defense Department has found 20 Chinese companies that operate in the U.S. are backed by the military, Reuters reported, citing an internal document. While the findings themselves do not trigger sanctions, President Donald Trump has the authority to sanction companies on the list, Reuters said. The list will likely add to tensions between China and the U.S., which has already blacklisted Huawei over national-security concerns.
