  Facebook says it has no interest in monetizing the Telecom Infra Project
  
  By <a href="/author/ingrid-lunden/" title="Posts by Ingrid Lunden" onclick="s_objectID='river_author';" rel="author">Ingrid Lunden</a>, <a href="/author/frederic-lardinois/" title="Posts by Frederic Lardinois" onclick="s_objectID='river_author';" rel="author">Frederic Lardinois</a> from TechCrunch
  
  Facebook, the social network giant with over 2 billion monthly users, has made a big effort to expand its business by doubling down on one of the big bottlenecks in the world of data: expensive and bad connectivity. And today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company unveiled a slate of updates about the many initiatives that it has helped spearhead to do that by way of projects like Terragraph and the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), which now has 500 members.
  
  The projects are different in terms of what the collaborations might look like,” Facebook’s VP of engineering, Jay Parikh, said today in Barcelona.
  
  Among them, Facebook is running millimeter wave-based Terragraph field trials in Hungary with Deutsche Telekom and in Kuala Lumpur with Telenor; and a trial for 60 GHz Terragraph points with Nokia. Parikh described the Terragraph trials are its first examples of these services getting applied in more developed markets.
  
  Alongside that, Facebook has announced a new reference design with Intel and Radwin for Terragraph-certified 60 GHz solutions based on the Intel architecture. And it is also working on trials of OpenCellular — an open source wireless access platform Facebook first announced two years ago — with Vodacom in Africa and Telenor in Pakistan.
  
  And Facebook is also delving into new kinds of business models for rolling out networks, specifically in Peru where local carriers are collaborating with local businesses and community organizations.
  
  The initiatives paint an interesting picture of how Facebook continues to position itself as a partner to carriers to push along new kinds of operating and business models, and improve connectivity by encouraging them to collaborate more — an essential component as networks become more commoditized, but a challenge for carriers, which have always viewed network assets as their crown jewels.
  
  Facebook has never disclosed how much it invests in these infrastructure activities, and in an interview today in Barcelona, Parikh insisted that monetizing these activities over time, or working on other ways of bring a return-on-investment back to Facebook itself, is not the aim. Helping to connect the world and doing that by helping carriers by building on its own data center learnings is.
  
  Indeed, he argued that Facebook has actually taken “a very big step back” since it launched the project as a founding member with four carriers. “You’ll see that we are one of many people on the board and most of it’s kind of operator-driven and led and there’s now 500 companies in TIP and it’s not just the couple of dozen or so that started two years ago. We’ll continue to play a role where we can — where we can bring our scale expertise, our philosophy around being open and open source software and hardware.”
  
  It stands in contrast to Facebook’s developments in emerging markets and specifically Internet.org’s Free Basics — unmetered access to Facebook and a few select sites, in collaboration with carriers — whose clear end was to gain more Facebook users and usage.
  
  In Parikh’s view, there are others who are better suited to the task of monetizing, vendors that already provide solutions and are now building them on top of the open-source work that Facebook has done.
  
  Facebook funded all of the Terragraph research but now the trials are being handled by the operators, Parikh noted. And now, Nokia and others are doing their own R&D “because they see the value,” he said. “Each collaboration has a different prioritization around it.”
  
  Parikh acknowledged that this open source approach still doesn’t always come natural to carriers, but at this point, carriers don’t necessarily have an option. “It’s really, really cool now and impressive that within two years, you have major operators in Europe who are saying: we have to work together in the open,” he said. “Otherwise the innovation isn’t going to happen.”
  
  With the advent of 5G technologies, consumers (and millions of devices) may soon get access to faster connections with more bandwidth, but this also means that the carriers’ backhaul networks will have to adapt and with that, the TIP. “With 5G there is potentially a lot more bandwidth available to users. But guess what, the backhaul also has to be a lot more,” said Parikh. “Now, if each carrier has to go and invest a lot more into backhaul to support the 5G edge, then does that make this kind of thing more expensive to build and to operate — and different operating models need to emerge to operate this kind of backhaul.”

Nun was kann eine Software konkret für ihre Nutzer? Eine gute Frage: So haben #Twitter und #Facebook Probleme mit Beleidigungen und einem mehr als nur fragwürdigem Umgang untereinander. #Diaspora wiederum hat aber ebenso vergleichbare Probleme und es werden Verschwörungstheorien wie auch höchst fragwürdige Thesen und Behauptungen verbreitet. So werden Geschlechteridentitäten von Personen des öffentlichen Lebens mal einfach so aberkannt und dahinter wird eine weltumspannende Lüge wie auch ein Plan vermutet.

Das Ganze weiterhin ohne Diskussion oder Hinterfragen der Grundlagen, sondern nur mittels Videos auf #YouTube. Genau aus dem Grunde gibt es auch eine Verantwortung für Betreiber dezentraler Netzwerkknoten. Genau aus dem Grunde sollte man auch eine #Netiquette nutzen. Jeder der mir mit #Transphobie kommt, kann bitte gerne gleich direkt weitergehen: Entweder gegenseitiger Respekt oder gar nicht. Entweder fairer und offener Umgang oder bitte davon absehen zu kommunizieren. Verweise / Links werde ich für das angesprochene Verhalten nicht weitergeben: Man muss diesem widerlichen Verhalten nicht auch noch eine Bühne geben und es reicht meines Erachtens das auf einem globalen Niveau anzusprechen. Es wird Zeit, dass sich die dezentralen Netzwerke stetig auch selbst reflektieren statt weitere API-Zugriffe und Protokolle zu implementieren. Letzteres kann immer noch passieren, dann aber mit einer offenen Nutzergemeinschaft, die auch wirklich bereit für ein Miteinander ist.

@mairin It's ridiculous that I have to do this and that it's this involved.

So, this is how I manage it. It's like a radiation exposure protocol. :P

  Facebook and Trump are telling the same misleading story about Russian propaganda
  
  By Max de Haldevang from Quartz
  
  Following new indictments detailing Russian propaganda operations during US elections in 2016, president Donald Trump brandished a tweet from a Facebook executive to back up his claims that he didn’t collude with the Russians or win because of their actions.
  
  The Fake News Media never fails. Hard to ignore this fact from the Vice President of Facebook Ads, Rob Goldman! https://t.co/XGC7ynZwYJ
  
  — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2018
  
  The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election. https://t.co/2dL8Kh0hof
  
  — Rob Goldman (@robjective) February 17, 2018
  
  There are a few things that need picking apart in Goldman’s thread, which contains deflections that may be designed to protect Facebook from appearing negligent or complicit as violations of US law were committed on their platform.
  
  The ad spend isn’t the whole campaign
  
  It makes sense for Goldman to focus on ads. That’s his job at Facebook and it’s also one of the areas where the company is most vulnerable—it took money from an allegedly Kremlin-linked disinformation campaign that relied on identity theft. However, special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russians shows that buying ads was a just a component of the troll farm’s efforts, which reached a “significant” number of Americans through more direct use of Mark Zuckerberg’s social networking platform.
  
  The indictment details how the trolls made reconnaissance trips to the US to gather information and target their efforts. They set up Facebook groups aiming to stoke divisions and radicalize Americans, pushing bogus causes like “United Muslims of America,” “Blacktivist,” and “Army of Jesus.” They created fake accounts that aimed to become “leaders of public opinion in the US,” which would then push the same divisive agenda. They organized rallies over false issues and persuaded real Americans to go to them. They encouraged minorities not to vote and pushed allegations of voter fraud.
  
  All this began in 2014 and Facebook, alongside Twitter, Instagram (which it owns), and YouTube, was a crucial tool in the campaign—in fact, according to the New York Times (paywall), the indictment mentions Facebook and Instagram a combined 41 times, compared to just 9 for Twitter. It reached 126 million people (paywall) through Facebook alone. So, to cite the increased ad spend after the election, with the implicit suggestion that the campaign didn’t affect the vote, is misleading.
  
  There were a lot of ads bought before the election
  
  There’s no doubt that attempts to sow discord in US society continued after the election. It would also make sense that the Russian operatives would boost their ad spending—there seems a reasonable amount of evidence to conclude that it was a cheap and effective source of influence over the American public, especially after the election when voting-directed organizing would no longer make sense as a tactic. Regardless, the indictment says Russian propagandists were spending thousands of dollars per month on Facebook ads as early as mid-2015.
  
  The troll campaign did support Donald Trump
  
  Goldman is right to say that swaying the election’s result wasn’t the Russians’ main aim. The hackers stated goal was “spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general,” according to the indictment. Despite Goldman’s claims, this is regularly reported in the media—after Mueller’s indictment was released, the New York Times, Bloomberg, Reuters, the Atlantic, and NPR all published stories that described Russia’s aim as sowing “chaos” or “discord.”
  
  However, that doesn’t mean affecting the election wasn’t part of the plan. The grand objective was to “interfere with US political and electoral processes, including the 2016 US presidential election,” and the indictment explicitly says the Russian digital operatives saw supporting Trump and Hillary Clinton’s Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders as the best way to achieve that. One internal message sent around the troll farm said: “Use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump—we support them).”
  
  As Quartz reported before the election, most in Moscow believed that Clinton would win. The campaign was aimed at weakening her and America’s political system—the fact that Trump actually won was, presumably, a bonus.
