@jason_kint i mean, I think the bulk of FB *is* now video (stories, Reels, Watch, etc). certainly the revenue engine is now video ads. — PolitiTweet.org

@CraigSilverman that’s my main issue with the metaphor too — police are at least theoretically accountable to their city councils, governors, and the Department of Justice. not so with FB’s integrity team — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a lot! A big bold vision that seems great for artists and creators; fraught with dangers for democracy; and that Facebook is now committing to build. You can check out our conversation here via the podcast or a transcript. https://t.co/QCD7yLRdWn — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, I also asked Zuckerberg about what he made of President Biden’s (since retracted) comment that vaccine misinformation on Facebook is killing people https://t.co/amwbRMmqle — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

In other ways, though, a metaverse seems to be exponentially harder to govern than the internet we have today. Among other things, it seems likely to splinter our shared sense of reality even further https://t.co/TJK3XyzMLp — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Between its social graph and its Oculus hardware, Facebook is building some foundational pieces of this world. But like Ball, Zuckerberg thinks the next internet will be much more interoperable than the one we have today. https://t.co/Bwl9lqwtvs — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

The VC @ballmatthew has written a series of influential essays in recent years about what a metaverse is. From Fortnite to Roblox to Facebook, executives are paying attention https://t.co/XFw058epbI https://t.co/1QgAMV8peG — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

At the end of June, Mark Zuckerberg told employees he had a new goal: to turn Facebook into “a metaverse company.” I talked to him about what that means https://t.co/QCD7yLRdWn https://t.co/03dMoqbexj — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Wrote about new study by @jsbrennen & @mattperault on the effects of FB/Google banning political ads during the 2020 election. They find: - didn’t really reduce misinformation - hurt poor campaigns, not rich ones - hurt Democrats more than Republicans https://t.co/m4THHOzRYx https://t.co/6R8r23taza — PolitiTweet.org
