We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more.
“Journalists can’t change the minds of those most firmly in Trump’s camp, those who have decided to believe only him. That’s a lost cause, and not our mission anyway. But they can stop allowing themselves to be used as tools in Trump’s relentless — and successful — campaign to undermine the truth. And do so knowing that it may be too late.”
“The changes have left employees questioning the future direction of the company, some longtime customers disgruntled with what they consider a product in decline, and have likely put a long-rumoured IPO — floated as an option as recently as January by CEO Ryan Holmes — on hold.”
“If you get a message on WhatsApp saying there will be an earthquake in Kannur tomorrow, would you believe it and share it with your friends?”
“‘AMP had a lot of hype and promise,’ said Chris Breaux, director of data science at Chartbeat. ‘It’s really good for users in providing a consistent experience in terms of page-load time.

“If WhatsApp can identify a particular a message’s metadata precisely, it can tag that message as ‘fake news’ after appropriate content moderation. It can be argued that WhatsApp can also, with some tweaks to its algorithm, identify the original sender of a fake news image, video, or text and potentially also stop that content from further spreading on its network. To identify whether a message is fake or not, we suggest that WhatsApp rely on its user community to forward suspected messages to its content moderation system.”
“What do you say to people who tell you, ‘Why don’t you just Google it?'” “Everybody says that, everybody I meet at parties. But the show is about more than just getting the information. It’s this place where people can exchange and contribute and be a part of something.”
“In China, public reports of sexual abuse first emerged in 2014, but until a year ago these allegations were limited to personal blogs shared on Chinese social media, such as WeChat and Weibo. These accounts were rarely, if ever, followed up by the mainstream news media.”
