PepikHipik<p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/AuFYX8g74SooSgy4/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">META ZRUŠILA CROWDTANGLE. NÁSTROJ, KTORÝ POUŽÍVALI VÝSKUMNÍCI NA ODHAĽOVANIE DEZINFORMAČNÝCH PRÍSPEVKOV, ODSTAVILA PRED PREZIDENTSKÝMI VOĽBAMI V USA</a></strong></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meta</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crowdtangle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crowdtangle</span></a> <br>📌 CrowdTangle bol kľúčovým nástrojom pre novinárov, výskumníkov a watchdog organizácie na monitorovanie dezinformácií, nenávistných prejavov a iného škodlivého obsahu na platformách Facebook a Instagram.<br>📌 Nástroj bol vyvinutý v roku 2011. O päť rokov neskôr ho odkúpila spoločnosť Facebook (dnes známa pod názvom Meta).<br>📌 Vo všeobecnosti nástroj slúžil na prezeranie verejného obsahu na platformách Facebook a Instagram, ku ktorým boli poskytované rôzne typy štatistík. Výskumníci tak vďaka nástroju dokázali odhaľovať aj nefaktický obsah a jeho najvplyvnejších šíriteľov.<br>📌 Funkcie CrowdTangle v minulosti umožnili napríklad vyhodnotiť online obsah delegitimizujúci výsledok amerických prezidentských volieb v roku 2020 a upozorniť na možnú násilnú eskaláciu ešte pred samotným útokom na Kapitol v januári 2021. Pravidelne slúžil tiež na monitorovanie nepravdivých informácií v kontexte pandémie Covid-19. <a href="https://bit.ly/4dRPJzn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4dRPJzn</a> <br>📌 Meta plánuje CrowdTangle nahradiť nástrojom Meta Content Library, ku ktorému však majú prístup iba „kvalifikované akademické a neziskové inštitúcie, ktoré produkujú výskum v oblasti vedy a verejného záujmu“. To vylučuje množstvo vedcov, akademikov a novinárov. <a href="https://bit.ly/46QwkfM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/46QwkfM</a> <br>📌 Okrem exkluzívneho prístupu je nástroj Meta Content Library kritizovaný pre jeho nízku transparentnosť, obmedzenosť funkcií a horší používateľský dizajn. Nástroj tiež zakazuje zdieľanie informácií o pôvode škodlivého obsahu, čo pomáha páchateľom zostať v anonymite. <a href="https://bit.ly/4fM8eqx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4fM8eqx</a>, <a href="https://bit.ly/4fT9kRm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4fT9kRm</a> <br>📌 Skutočnosť, že sa firma rozhodla zrušiť funkčný, populárny a rozsiahlo používaný nástroj v priebehu kampane pred prezidentskými voľbami v Spojených štátoch amerických vyvoláva množstvo otázok. Obavy v otvorenom liste vyjadrila napríklad nezisková organizácia Human Rights Watch. <a href="https://bit.ly/4dPQ3hQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4dPQ3hQ</a> <br>📌 K tej sa pripojili aj viaceré advokačné skupiny a akademické inštitúcie. Spoločne vyzývajú na ponechanie nástroja CrowdTangle aspoň dovtedy, kým nebude Meta Content Library jeho dostatočnou náhradou. <a href="https://bit.ly/4fOLRRq" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4fOLRRq</a><br>📌 V prípade, že Meta nevyhovie výzve na ponechanie nástroja CrowdTangle do januára 2025, ako požadujú jeho používatelia, bude vážne ohrozená kontrola pravdivosti informácií.<br>📌 Meta sa k zrušeniu vyjadrila len okrajovo. Prezident globálnych záležitostí spoločnosti Nick Clegg cez svoj blogový post odkázal, že firma o Meta Content Library zbiera spätnú väzbu, ktorú plánuje vziať do úvahy pri aktualizácii tohto nástroja. <a href="https://bit.ly/4fQ8e92" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4fQ8e92</a> <br>Zdroj: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/AuFYX8g74SooSgy4/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Infosecurity.sk</a></p>
