Facebook Tests 'Downvote' Button For Some Users: Report

Description

Facebook has begun testing a “downvote” button with some users, available only in a limited number of post types, the Daily Beast reports. Reddit, the website best known for its use of both positive and negative signaling, has shown mixed results from studies where downvotes were hidden from other users, and a number of communities opt to turn the feature off to prevent mass-downvoting (called brigading) of controversial content. It’s unclear if the feature will ever be rolled out to all users, and Facebook has not yet responded for a request for comment.

YouTube this week announced a new Community Guidelines feature meant to help clean up the vitriol on the comments section of its platform and help facilitate “respectful interactions.” Now, users on Android may see a pop-up before they post a comment on YouTube that may be hurtful. That prompt will ask them to “Keep comments respectful” and consider whether the comment they’re sharing “is appropriate.” YouTube itself notes that whatever systems and filters it has in place “are continuously learning and may not always get it right.”

  • Report: Amazon Using Notorious Spy Agency To Bust Unionizing Efforts

    Since the 19th century, the infamous Pinkerton spy agency has a history of union-busting and involving itself in businesses. Now, Business Insider reports Amazon has turned to Pinkerton to monitor European workers' labor union organizing efforts. Leaked documents from Amazon's Global Security Operations Center revealed analysts have been tracking workers' union organizing activities. A report from Motherboard also disclosed that Amazon data analysts use social media to monitor social justice and environmental activist groups' activities. It's the latest in a string of evidence that highlights Amazon's robust efforts to monitor and crack down on its workers unionizing. Earlier this year, Amazon listed, but quickly removed, a job opening for an analyst that would monitor employee's efforts to organize.
