Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:A full-day House Oversight Committee hearing on Twitter’s decision to temporarily block a New York Post article on Hunter Biden’s laptop delivered on political theater, but failed to produce much new information or a “gotcha” moment from the former executives on the panel who agreed the decision was a mistake, but refuted claims of government influence. - Cat Zakrzewski, Cristiano Lima/ The Washington Post, Will Oremus, Cat Zakrzewski, Cristiano Lima / The Washington Post, Tech Policy PressMore: Alex’s beautiful face was featured on a poster during the hearing as he was name-checked by a congresswoman who displayed correspondence where he suggested a contact that Facebook and Twitter staffers could reach out to for more information about claims about a fake poll worker on Election Day 2020.It turns out that Republicans also contact social media platforms to complain about posts they don’t like. In one such case, the Trump administration contacted Twitter about a string of swears tweeted by Chrissy Teigen to describe the former president. In fact, there were so many requests that Twitter made a database to handle them all. - Adam Rawnsley, Asawin Suebsaeng/ Rolling StoneTurkey initially blocked access to Twitter in the aftermath of powerful earthquakes that resulted in mass casualties. The Turkish government is using special powers to remove content critical of the country’s response and even launched a new app to report “disinformation.” - Adam Satariano/ The New York Times, @fahrettinaltunThe Guardian tested AI tools used by tech companies to measure how sexually suggestive posts are, finding that photos of women working out or with partial nudity received significantly higher ratings than those with men — resulting in less visibility. Should companies have different rules for where to draw the line on “raciness”? What kind of transparency could verify biases?  - Gianluca Mauro, Hilke Schellmann/ The GuardianGraphika discovered the first known deepfake influence operation, featuring fictitious newscasters pushing pro-China news. Is the “information apocalypse” finally here? - Adam Satariano, Paul Mozur/ The New York Times, GraphikaWhat does the balloon mean for geopolitics in an era of deflating relations and entangled economics for China and the U.S.? - Fareed Zakaria/ The Washington PostDonald Trump officially had access restored to his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:Twitter CornerTwitter announced it is ending free API access, potentially cutting off hobbyist developers and their weird and helpful content and tools. - Ryan Browne/ CNBCMusk said the change would help rid the site of malicious bots. But cats might save the internet once again, as the Twitter owner later backtracked, replying to @PepitoTheCat that he might still allow “bots providing good content that is free.” - Ivan Mehta/ TechCrunchThe change has stark implications for public interest researchers and journalists who use the Twitter API to analyze current events, conduct studies on important societal issues, and develop open source tools that democratize online research. - Cristiano Lima/ The Washington Post, Justin Hendrix/ Tech Policy Press, Coalition for Independent Technology ResearchThe New York Times and the Canadian Center for Child Protection found child sexual abuse material continues to spread on Twitter with more than 200,000 engagements and hundreds of accounts sharing explicit content. - Michael H. Keller, Kate Conger/ The New York TimesTwitter trust and safety head Ella Irwin outlined how Twitter makes decisions about whether to suspend accounts for “restricted content,” such as threats and calls to violence or.

The company’s response may be raising more questions than it answers. - Jacob Turowski/ MetaRep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) introduced the Social Media Child Protection Act to ban children under 16 from accessing social media. It's almost certainly unconstitutional. - Cristiano Lima/ The Washington Post, Office of Representative Chris StewartThe battle to get rid of TikTok has inevitably resulted in pressuring app stores. Senate Intelligence Committee member Michael Bennet (D-CO) sent letters to the CEOs of Apple and Google last week calling on them to ban TikTok from their digital marketplaces. - John D. McKinnon/ The Wall Street Journal, Daniel Flatley/ Bloomberg NewsFormer Twitter executives will testify before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. They will be grilled on the decision to limit a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 presidential election cycle. Take a drink of (Irish) coffee for every mention of “jawboning.” - Rebecca Klar/ The Hill, Anders Hagstrom, Chad Pergram/ Fox NewsJoin the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos.Moderated Content is produced in partnership by Stanford Law School and the Cyber Policy Center.

A little over a year ago, Evelyn interviewed Josh Parecki, Zoom's Head of Trust & Safety and Associate General Counsel, and Josh Kallmer, Zoom's Head of Global Public Policy and Government Relations, about how Zoom thought about content moderation. And since then, they've been doing some rethinking. So Evelyn asked them back to talk about what's changed in the way they think about trust and safety, the change in regulatory landscape even in the last year, and the difficult problems that pop up for every communications platform.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:India UpdateAt least some of the YouTube, Meta, and Internet Archive takedowns of clips from a BBC documentary that examines Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s political rise were due to copyright claims made by BBC, rather than requests made by the Indian government. Maybe they could have mentioned that a bit earlier? - Rishi Iyengar/ Foreign Policy, Russell Brandom/ Rest of World, Internet ArchiveLuckily, Twitter owner Elon Musk chimed in with a tweet reply that he hadn’t heard of the issue, adding “It is not possible for me to fix every aspect of Twitter worldwide overnight, while still running Tesla and SpaceX, among other things.” - @elonmuskTwitter reinstated Indian Hindu nationalist accounts previously suspended for hate speech against Muslims. - Newley Purnell/ The Wall Street JournalTwitter CornerA new Twitter Files thread on the German Marshall Fund’s Hamilton 68 project, which tracked Russian influence operations on Twitter, illustrates the dashboard’s flawed methodology. That doesn’t change the fact that there was Russian interference during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. - @mtaibbiMusk made the rounds on Capitol Hill, meeting with House leadership to ensure that Twitter will be “fair to both parties.” We are sure there will be tons of transparency. - Tony Romm, Faiz Siddiqui, Cat Zakrzewski, Adela Suliman/ The Washington PostTwitter will allow anyone to appeal an account suspension, starting this Wednesday, February 1. - @TwitterSafetyAnd Twitter is re-suspending some of those accounts. White supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes was suspended less than 24 hours after his account was reinstated. - Julia Shapero/ The HillIn completely unrelated news, Twitter is being sued in Germany over failing to remove antisemitic hate speech. - Molly Killeen/ Euractiv, Aggi Cantrill, Karin Matussek/ Bloomberg NewsTikTok OffensiveTikTok is going on the offensive with public engagements explaining its private negotiations with the U.S. government. Executives are briefing members of Congress, academics, and think tank researchers about Project Texas, the company’s plan to audit content recommendation systems and securely store and process U.S. user data in partnership with Oracle. - Cecilia Kang, Sapna Maheshwari, David McCabe/ The New York TimesResearchers briefed on TikTok’s proposal to continue operating in the U.S. said that a new subsidiary, TikTok U.S. Data Security Inc. (USDS), will house all of its U.S. content moderation under the governance of an independent board that will report to the U.S. government (CFIUS) — not to ByteDance. Plans also call for TikTok’s source code and content recommendation systems to be audited by Oracle and a third-party inspector. - David Ingram/ NBC News, Matt Perault, Samm Sacks/ Lawfare (commentary)Other storiesThe messy business of operating in China caught up with Apple again as the company’s Safari web browser seems to have quietly adopted a Chinese government website block list. - Sam Biddle/ The InterceptGoogle plans to sunset a pilot program that stopped political campaign emails from winding up in the spam folder as it seeks to dismiss a lawsuit from the Republican National Committee claiming that Gmail filters have political bias. - Isaac Stanley-Becker/ The Washington Post, Ashley Gold/ AxiosThe Financial Times had a miserable experience attempting to run its own Mastodon instance, facing “compliance, security and reputational risks” in addition to cloud hosting costs and creepy factor issues, such as seeing direct messages by default. - Bryce Elder/ Financial TimesSports CornerDid Alex receive a call from the San Francisco 49ers football team during their NFL playoff game this weekend? No, not for that cyber issue last year. Things get “Purdy'' desperate when a team’s first four quarterbacks are injured. - Nick Wagoner/ ESPNJoin the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos.Moderated Content is produced in partnership by Stanford Law School and the Cyber Policy Center.

Evelyn sits down with Nate Persily, Professor at Stanford Law School, and Alex Stamos, director of the Stanford Internet Observatory, to discuss Meta's decision that it is reinstating former President Trump's accounts. Nate is pragmatic, Alex is cynical, and Evelyn is a naive little formalist about it all. Here's their quick takes.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:This should be a far bigger story: India is ordering platforms to take down content related to a BBC documentary. The widely predicted and highly consequential dramatic escalation in India’s legal battles with platforms is here, and we better be watching - Hannah Ellis-Petersen/ The GuardianThe UK Online Safety Bill was back in the House of Commons last week, but the Sunak administration is biding time in negotiations over the wording of a new criminal liability provision for social media executives.

Dan Milmo/ The Guardian, Dan Milmo/ The Guardian, Dan Milmo/ The Guardian, BBC NewsAn investigative report highlights the mental health challenges and low wages for workers in Kenya that reviewed text snippets of disturbing situations and hateful speech in support of an OpenAI system to detect and prevent toxic content from appearing in ChatGPT and other tools. - Billy Perrigo/ TimeThe Federal Election Commission tossed out claims made by the Republican National Committee that Google’s Gmail spam filters are biased against conservatives because they send a higher percentage of GOP fundraising emails to spam. - John McKinnon/ The Wall Street JournalFormer President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is formally petitioning Meta to reinstate his social media accounts in a written letter. And Trump wants to get out of an exclusivity agreement to post first on his own social network, Truth Social, as his campaign plans to ramp up later this year. - Marc Caputo, Jonathan Allen/ NBC News, Asawin Suebsaeng, Adam Rawnsley/ Rolling StoneTikTok has an internal tool for staff to manually amplify individual videos, picking and choosing brands and creators to go viral without disclosing that recommended content for users. - Emily Baker-White/ ForbesCourtroom Corner:The Supreme Court has put two state content moderation cases on hold, asking the Biden administration to weigh in on challenges to Texas and Florida laws that would restrict social media companies from removing posts with political opinions. - @steve_vladeck, Adam Liptak/ The New York Times, Andrew Chung/ ReutersNearly 50 amicus briefs were filed last week in support of Section 230 in Gonzalez v. Google. - SCOTUSblogIt turns out that international soccer star Messi's record for the most-liked picture on Instagram was the result of coordinated authentic behavior. Following Argentina’s World Cup victory, fans organized to like Messi’s post and unlike the picture of an egg that previously held the title of the most liked Instagram post. - Lucía Cholakian Herrera/ Rest Of The WorldBecause of course, members of Taliban leadership were among the Twitter Blue subscribers paying for a blue check mark verification badge on their accounts. The badge was removed from the accounts following intense backlash, but what do the blue checks even mean anymore? - Abdirahim Saeed/ BBC News, Ramon Antonio Vargas/ The GuardianJoin the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos.Moderated Content is produced in partnership by Stanford Law School and the Cyber Policy Center.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:A new study found “no evidence of a meaningful relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.” - Gregory Eady, Tom Paskhalis, Jan Zilinsky, Richard Bonneau, Jonathan Nagler, Joshua A. Tucker/ Nature Communications, @CSMaP_NYUWe hear from Josh Tucker, a co-author of the paper and co-director of the NYU Center for Social Media and Politics. Importantly, the findings are limited to Twitter where a small, highly partisan audience was targeted. The findings do not fully reflect the multifaceted impact Russian interference had on faith in American elections. @j_a_tuckerA study conducting a $9 million social media advertising campaign reaching two million moderate voters in five battleground states found little effect for driving voter turnout during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. - Minali Aggarwal, Jennifer Allen, Alexander Coppock, Dan Frankowski, Solomon Messing, Kelly Zhang, James Barnes, Andrew Beasley, Harry Hantman, Sylvan Zheng/ Nature Human Behaviour, @_JenAllenWe hear from one of the co-authors, Sol Messing, a visiting researcher at Georgetown University. He highlights why campaigns might want to shift to focus on early voter turnout based on the findings. - @SolomonMgTwitter is cutting off API access to third party clients in an effort to force users to return to Twitter’s own website and apps, according to messages reviewed by The Information. It was previously reported that users of apps including Tweetbot and Echofon were experiencing bugs late Thursday evening. - Erin Woo/ The Information, Ivan Mehta/ TechCrunch, Mitchell Clark/ The VergeState universities are banning access to TikTok on their WiFi networks and official devices in response to nearly two dozen state bans on government access to the popular short video social media service with a Chinese parent company. - Sapna Maheshwari/ The New York Times, Kate Mcgee/ The Texas TribuneApple promised to provide more information about why it bans certain apps from its App Store in countries like China and Russia in response to pressure from activist investors. - Kenza Byran, Patrick Mcgee/ Financial TimesLegal corner:“A public school district in Seattle has filed a novel lawsuit against the tech giants behind TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat, seeking to hold them accountable for the mental health crisis among youth.” - Gene Johnson/ Associated PressThe Supreme Court took a new case, Counterman v. Colorado, about what kind of mens rea, or intent, is necessary to prove a true threat. The case is based on the prosecution of a man who stalked and harassed a local musician on Facebook for years. - SCOTUSblogIn a new Supreme Court brief, Google argues that holding the company liable for recommendation systems that promoted ISIS videos in a case brought by the parents of a terrorist attack victim could “upend the internet” and result in websites with either extensive censorship or floods of questionable content, but nothing in-between. - John McKinnon/ The Wall Street JournalPresident Biden set priorities for bipartisan internet policy cooperation in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, focusing on data privacy, Section 230, algorithmic transparency, and antitrust measures. The piece left a lot to be desired, but signals these will continue to be hot issues over the next two years.  - Joe Biden/ The Wall Street JournalJoin the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos.Moderated Content is produced in partnership by Stanford Law School and the Cyber Policy Center.

Analysis by Duke University researchers found there is little evidence those bans achieved their intended effects of limiting the spread of false or misleading information about elections. - J. Scott Babwah Brennen, Matt Perault/ Duke UniversityFacebook wants out of politics, but there is no escape!
