周三，Facebook三年来首次未能达到华尔街对收入和用户增长的预期。该公司在美国和加拿大的用户群为1.85亿，与上一季度持平，全球新增用户仅为2200万，这是至少2011年以来的最低新增用户数。Facebook股票周四上午开盘时亏损近20%，随后又开始缓慢攀升。

一方面，你不能说这消息完全出乎意料。正如迈克·艾萨克（Mike Isaac）所指出的，Facebook几个月来一直警告说，它对新闻提要所做的更改将降低其增长。马克·扎克伯格（MarkZuckerberg）告诉分析师，该公司修复其平台的努力将对收入产生有意义的负面影响。

也有人类的极限来考虑。大约有30亿人可以访问Facebook，其中Facebook用户达到22.3亿。Facebook有各种各样的计划来扩大互联网接入，但进展缓慢，最近还扼杀了一项引人注目的计划，即建造互联网交付无人机。

不过，这一消息似乎让投资者措手不及。Facebook首席财务官大卫·韦纳（David Wehner）警告说，坏消息将无限期地持续下去。”我们的总收入增长率将在2018年下半年继续减速，我们预计我们的收入增长率将在第三季度和第四季度以高个位数的百分比连续下降，”他在电话会议上说。

希拉·奥维德在彭博社撰文指出：

If what the company predicts comes to pass, the internet’s best combination of fast revenue growth and plump profit margins is dead. All at once, it seemed, reality finally caught up to Facebook.

事实上，周二是Facebook核心业务连续两年出现负面头条的日子吗？周三公布的结果标志着剑桥Analytica数据隐私丑闻以来的第一个完整季度。扎克伯格告诉分析师，它还见证了欧洲通用数据保**规的出台，该法规赶走了100万用户。

不管是什么原因，Facebook似乎已经在北美达到了顶峰。尽管改进该平台的努力肯定会继续，但该公司仍有一大堆负面头条。司法部和FBI都在通过剑桥Analytica调查Facebook。安全与交易委员会和联邦贸易委员会也在进行调查。

与此同时，关于Facebook应如何处理错误信息的辩论仍在激烈进行。上周，扎克伯格为否认大屠杀者的言论权辩护。所有这些都不可能使Facebook脱离其在线交流中心的位置。但公平地说，迄今为止的累积效应比预期的要大。

我在Recode的同事库尔特·瓦格纳（Kurt Wagner）在周二的收益预览中问道：“Facebook是不可战胜的吗？”。周三的结果表明答案显然是否定的。

YouTube就仇恨言论和危害儿童问题对Alex Jones频道发起新的**

我透露了亚历克斯·琼斯（Alex Jones）的YouTube频道在该公司从该网站删除了四个违反其社区标准的视频后对其进行了新的**的消息：

Two videos contained hate speech against Muslims, and a third contained hate speech against transgender people, sources said. A fourth showed Jones mocking a child who was pushed to the ground by an ***** man, under the headline “How to prevent liberali**.” All four of the videos are currently posted on Infowars.

诺亚·波兹纳（Noah Pozner）的父母伦纳德·波兹纳（Leonard Pozner）和维罗尼克·德拉罗莎（Veronique De La Rosa）要求Facebook采取更多措施，从平台上删除阴谋内容。他们的具体要求：

- Treat victims of mass shootings and other tragedies as a protected group, such that attacks on them are specifically against Facebook policy.

- Provide affected people with access to Facebook staff who will remove hateful and harassing posts against victims immediately.

问:；选举诚信问题

这是昨天关于选举诚信的记者电话会议的记录。在其他地方，Josh Contine提出了一些未回答的问题。

斯坦福和布朗的研究发现，互联网不是特朗普获胜的原因。

威尔·奥雷姆斯（Will Oremus）报道说，在互联网用户和在线获得竞选新闻的人中，特朗普实际上比以前的共和党候选人表现更差。

This doesn’t mean the internet was irrelevant to the 2016 campaign, Shapiro told me. “The question is not whether the internet is having any impact on politics—it surely is—but whether it deserves the top billing it often gets in discussi*** about the election,” he said.

“我感到恶心”：在印度尼西亚的假Twitter账户工厂里

Kate Lamb报道了印度尼西亚****的“蜂鸣器小组”煽动种族分裂：

For several months in 2017 Alex, whose name has been changed, alleges he was one of more than 20 people inside a secretive cyber army that pumped out messages from fake social media accounts to support then Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as “Ahok”, as he fought for re-election.

“They told us you should have five Facebook accounts, five Twitter accounts and one Instagram,” he told the Guardian. “And they told us to keep it secret. They said it was ‘war time’ and we had to guard the battleground and not tell anyone about where we worked.”

推特是“影子禁制”著名共和党人，如共和党全国委员会主席和小特朗普的发言人

这是一个错误的标题，也是一个误导性的故事，它本质上是一个错误，阻止了一些共和党领导人的名字出现在下拉搜索字段中。产品负责人Kayvon Beykpour在当天晚些时候的推特帖子中试图澄清这一情况。但基本上不，Twitter并没有“影子禁令”任何人，尽管现在可能会有一场虚假的国会听证会。

Facebook的首席律师即将离职，因为该公司仍在努力应对选举后果和联邦调查

Facebook的总法律顾问科林·斯特朗（Colin Stretch）将于年底离职。他于2010年加入Facebook。

即将离职的Facebook安全官员备忘录：“我们需要愿意选择哪一方”

Forgot to include this in yesterday’s edition: BuzzFeed got a hold of Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos’s note from the spring in which he said he would leave. It basically tracks with what he was tweeting around the time, which is that he would leave in August. It’s almost August, though — is there a plan?

如果您将显示名称更改为Elon Musk，Twitter将锁定您的帐户

我的同事尼克·斯塔特（Nick Statt）报告说，Twitter对人们更改显示名称以诱骗人们向他们发送加密货币这一非常现实的问题做出了姗姗来迟的回应：

Twitter has implemented a new method for combating cryptocurrency scammers: it now automatically locks unverified accounts that change their display name to Elon Musk. If you have a non-verified account that is not associated with a phone number, changing your display name to that of the SpaceX and Tesla CEO will result in an immediate lock out. Twitter will then ask you to pass a CAPTCHA test, as well as provide a phone number, to regain access.

我相信这会对某些人有用，但我不确定是谁，第一部分：

YouTube is expanding its virtual reality app to support Samsung’s Gear VR devices, and it’s also adding a new feature that lets users watch a video together and chat. If you own a Gear VR device, you’ll be able to download the app from the Oculus Store beginning this week, Google announced today in a blog post.

拿

Facebook和Twitter等科技公司正在划定界限。会很乱的。

Farhad Manjoo表示，呼吁更积极的内容节制只会让Facebook更强大，而不会让它更负责任：

Roseanne、Dan Harmon和好莱坞推特时代的终结

丹尼尔·达达里奥说，名人推特时代可能即将结束：

The solution, for everyone involved and everyone not yet involved, seems to be scaling back on social media. The rewards of openness–access that runs both ways between talent and fans, a window into the creative process–can only exist in a marketplace in which context is understood and appreciated. That Twitter strips away context, that it rips jokes and statements out of time and presents them as individual links that make a botched wittici** seem as potent and nasty as a destructive piece of politicized hate, is part of its value proposition. And it’s trained all of us, but especially power users on the right, to see a flattened world, where sensibility and meaning matter less than how offended one can purport to be. If more and more creators walk away from Twitter and similar platforms, it’ll be a potent dem***tration of how the promise of the social web — openness and accessibility — cannot jibe with the artist’s need to work things out.

成为格温妮丝·帕特洛的大事业

格温妮丝·帕特罗的帝国的这张威严的塔菲·布罗德瑟·阿克纳简介以其自身令人愉悦的方式揭示了GOOP是健康的信息战场景。强烈建议：

G.P. didn’t understand the problem. “We’re never making statements,” she said. Meaning, they’re never asserting anything like a fact. They’re just asking unconventional sources some interesting questi***. (Loehnen told me, “We’re just asking questi***.”) But what is “making a statement”? Some would argue — her former partners at Condé Nast, for sure — that it is giving an unfiltered platform to quackery or witchery. O.K., O.K., but what is quackery? What is witchery? Is it claims that have been observed but not the subject of double-blind, peer-reviewed studies? Yes? Right. O.K., G.P. would say, then what is science, and is it all-encompassing and altruistic and without error and always acting in the interests of humanity?
