"For instance, videos mentioning words like “Fortnite,” “prank” or “worst” received more than five times as many views at the median as videos not mentioning those words." My kids could have told you that, Pew. (But still an interesting study) https://t.co/WrJq8qCpi2 — PolitiTweet.org

Periodic reminder that is *insane* that almost all earnings calls start off with executives reading scripts out loud, for literally no reason at all. Facebook is now 17 minutes into reading text they could have sent out in advance. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook rules: If you tell Wall Street that you're in trouble with the Feds in advance, they'll reward you when you tell them again later on. https://t.co/mbAKVtbNXu — PolitiTweet.org

This confirms and advances what the WSJ reported in June, when it said that FTC was getting ready to go after FB for antitrust. Again, different than today's privacy settlement. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile AT&T's video business - one of the things it is supposed to sync up with HBO and the rest of Time Warner — is shrinking for real. Down a million subs, around 9%. — PolitiTweet.org

HBO subscriber revenues dropped by 0.9% in Q2 - the same time HBO was running Game of Thrones. But that is almost certainly because HBO is blacked out on Dish TV because of a contract fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Just ask an FTC commissioner: "The proposed settlement does little to change the business model or practices ...[and] imposes no meaningful changes to the company’s structure or financial incentives" — PolitiTweet.org
