Facebook to pay UK publishers for content with January launch of News tab

[email protected]_84

Facebook is launching its News tab in the UK in January in a move that’s expected to see the company pay news publishers tens of millions of pounds annually to license their articles, The Guardian reports. In an article announcing the launch, Facebook says it also aims to help publishers expand their audience, potentially benefiting both their subscriber numbers and ad revenue.

For news publishers, the most important aspect of the service will likely be the payments Facebook says it will make to include their content. Although Facebook is declining to say how much money it’s expecting to pay as part of the scheme, The Guardian reports that some publishers are expecting to make millions of pounds a year from the service, at a cost to tens of millions of pounds to Facebook overall.

The social media giant says it’s already partnered

with Tonya Riley

More than 200 content moderators are calling on Mark Zuckerberg and other top Facebook leaders to provide safer worker conditions during the pandemic.

The moderators, who contract with Facebook through firms including Accenture, said in an open letter that they have been forced back into the office to do their jobs. They demanded the company allow all moderators who are high risk for coronavirus or live with someone who is high risk be allowed to work from home indefinitely.

They also called on the company to maximize options for remote work for all content moderators, and to offer a hazard pay of 1.5 times their usual wage in instances where they’re needed to work in person. Facebook has previously said some content moderation cannot be performed remotely due to security concerns.

The moderators’ demands build on long-running criticism that tech giants do not provide enough psychological

[email protected]_84

The developer behind Star Wars Squadrons said it had no plans for post-launch DLC, but it appears those plans have changed. In a blog post, the studio said the team felt “humbled” by the response from fans and began planning two upcoming content drops. One is coming next week, and the other will follow in December.

The November 25 update coming as part of update 3.0 will add a new map and ship components. The map, Fostar Haven, is adapted from the single-player story in the prologue mission, and the update will make it playable in Fleet Battles and Dogfight mode. The update will also add four new components. Fighters and Bombers can equip a Boost Extension, Interceptors and Fighters will get Ion Rockets, Bombers and Fighters will get Prototype Piercing Torpedoes, and Support ships will get the Anti-Material Rocket Turret for targeting capital ships and deployables.

The Facebook Inc. application is displayed for a photograph on an Apple Inc. iPhone in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, March 21, 2018. Facebook is struggling to respond to growing demands from Washington to explain how the personal data of millions of its users could be exploited by a consulting firm that helped Donald Trump win the presidency.

“Now, on top of work that is psychologically toxic, holding onto the job means walking into a hot zone,” wrote the outside contractors and Facebook employees in a letter to the executives of the social-media company and the contracting companies released Wednesday. Moderators sift through explicit, violent and abusive content to remove it from Facebook’s social network.

Jim Szafranski Leads Prezi (And All Of Us) Into The Future Of Interactive Content

[email protected]_84

What year it is to become a first-time CEO!

The charming and energetic Jim Szafranski became the CEO of Prezi earlier this year when Péter Árvai, co-founder of Prezi, retired from the position to focus more of his time on activism.  Jim is honored to have this new role and said he was surprised when it was offered because he never planned on being a CEO. When he sought advice before taking the job, someone wise offered, “Be yourself, I’m pretty sure they chose you to be you, not for you to be someone else.” Spending time with this humble and caring leader amidst the backdrop of election politics’ ego-driven world was a welcome respite.

This values-driven company dedicated to forming human connections through technology was founded in 2009 in Hungary, and its user base is now over 115M globally. Jim joined the

Facebook says it will put groups on probation for violating its content rules

[email protected]_84

In yet another attempt to slow the spread of misinformation on its platform, Facebook plans to put groups on its platform with too many posts that violate its content rules on a kind of probation, the company said. First reported by The Washington Post, Facebook will restrict any groups— both public and private ones— with multiple posts violating its community standards. Moderators for the groups will have to approve any posts manually for 60 days, and there’s no appeal available for groups on probationary status.
