Como Jack Dorsey anunció su compañía Twitter dejaría caer todos los anuncios políticos, El CEO de Facebook, Zuckerberg, duplicó su política de negarse a verificar los anuncios de los políticos. "UNAtvecesdesocialtensiónahítienea menudoestadounimpulsoaHalarespaldaengratisexpresión . . . Wmiserásermejorservidoterminadoellargotérmino byresistiendoestaimpulsoydefendiendogratisexpresión."
Aún así, Zuckerberg no pudo delinear entre la libertad de expresión y la libertad de amplificación pagada de esa expresión que inherentemente favorece a los ricos.
Durante el día de hoy Llamada de ganancias del tercer trimestre de 2019 donde Facebook superó las expectativas y aumentó los usuarios mensuales un 2% a 2,45 mil millones, Zuckerberg pasó su tiempo defendiendo la política política publicitaria indulgente de la red social. Puedes leer su declaración preparada completa aquí.
Un objetivo claro era disipar la idea de que Facebook fue motivado por la avaricia para mantener estos anuncios. Zuckerberg explicó "NosotrosestimarestasanunciosdepolíticosseráserMenosque0.5%denuestraingresos el próximo año ”. Como referencia, Facebook ganó $ 66 mil millones en los 12 meses que terminaron el tercer trimestre de 2019, por lo que Facebook podría ganar alrededor de $ 330 millones a $ 400 millones en anuncios políticos el próximo año. Desafortunadamente, no está claro si Zuckerberg quería decir que el 0.5% de los anuncios eran políticos o solo de políticos sin contar los anuncios de problemas y los PAC.
Zuckerberg también dijo que dado que Facebook eliminó 50 millones de horas diarias de videos virales de su plataforma para apoyar el bienestar que perjudicaba la audiencia de anuncios y el precio de las acciones de la compañía, Facebook claramente no actúa únicamente en busca de ganancias.
El CEO de Facebook también trató de rechazar la teoría de que Facebook está permitiendo que la información errónea en los anuncios políticos atienda a los conservadores o evite los prejuicios de ellos. "SomepersonasdecireseestaessólotodasunacínicopolíticocálculoyesefueroninterinoenunacaminoesenosotrosnoDe Verdadcreerporquefueronsólomolestoaapaciguarconservadores ", dijo, respondiendo que" francamente, si nuestro objetivo era tratar de hacer feliz a cualquiera de las partes, entonces no estamos haciendo un buen trabajo porque estoy bastante seguro de que todos están frustrados ".
En lugar de prohibir los anuncios políticos, Zuckerberg expresó su apoyo para aumentar la transparencia sobre cómo se ven los anuncios, cuánto se gasta en ellos y dónde se ejecutan. "yocreereseelmejoracercarse a, aproximarseesatrabajoaincrementartransparencia. AnunciosenFacebooksonyamástransparentequeen cualquier sitiomás.Nosotrostenerunapolíticoanunciosarchivoentoncesnadiepuedeescudriñarcadaanuncioeso escorrer."
Mencionó que los anuncios políticos son dirigidos por "Google, YouTube y la mayoría de las plataformas de Internet", y parece que tropezaron por un segundo, ya que probablemente estaba preparado para citar Gorjeo también hasta que anunció que eliminaría todos los anuncios políticos una hora antes. Omitió que Pinterest y TikTok también han prohibido los anuncios políticos.
No ayuda que cientos de Los propios empleados de Facebook han pedido a su CEO que cambie la política.. Llegó a la conclusión de que nadie podía acusar a Facebook de no pensar profundamente en la pregunta y sus ramificaciones posteriores. Sin embargo, Zuckerberg se dejó afuera si decide cambiar la política. "He considerado si no deberíamos (vender anuncios políticos) en el pasado, y continuaré haciéndolo".
Dorsey tenía tuiteó que "Hemos tomado la decisión de detener toda la publicidad política en Twitter a nivel mundial. Creemos que el alcance del mensaje político debe ganarse, no comprarse ”. Representante demócrata Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expresó su apoyo
para el movimiento de Twitter mientras el gerente de campaña de Trump Brad Parscale lo llamó "una decisión muy tonta"
El CEO de Twitter tomó algunas medidas claras en Zuckerberg, contrarrestando sus argumentos comunes para permitir la desinformación en los anuncios de los políticos. “Algunos podrían argumentar que nuestras acciones de hoy podrían favorecer a los titulares. Pero hemos sido testigos de que muchos movimientos sociales alcanzan una escala masiva sin publicidad política. Confío en que esto solo crecerá ". Dado que el presidente Trump había gastado más que todos los candidatos demócratas en los anuncios de Facebook a partir de marzo de este año, está claro que los titulares con mucho dinero podrían beneficiarse de la política de Facebook.
Trump continúa gastando masivamente a los rivales demócratas en los anuncios de Facebook. Vía NYT
Imitando la posición de Facebook, Dorsey tuiteó: "No es creíble para nosotros decir: 'Estamos trabajando duro para evitar que las personas jueguen en nuestros sistemas para difundir información engañosa, pero si alguien nos paga para apuntar y obligar a las personas a ver su anuncio político … bueno … ¡pueden decir lo que quieran! "
Twitter no gana mucho con los anuncios políticos, solo cita $ 3 millones en ingresos de las elecciones de mitad de período de 2018, o aproximadamente el 0.1% de sus $ 3 mil millones en ingresos totales de 2018. Eso significa que no habrá grandes ganancias inesperadas para Facebook debido a que Twitter deja caer anuncios políticos. Pero ahora todos los ojos estarán en Facebook y Google / YouTube. Si Sundar Pichai y Susan Wojcicki se mueven en línea con Dorsey, podría hacer que Zuckerberg sea aún más vulnerable a las críticas.
$ 330 millones pueden no ser un gran incentivo para Facebook o Zuckerberg, pero aún suena como mucho dinero para ganar con anuncios que potencialmente mienten a los votantes. Respeto la política indulgente de Facebook cuando se trata de discursos publicados orgánicamente en cuentas de usuarios, organizaciones o políticos. Pero confiar en los candidatos, la prensa y el discurso público a la policía es peligrosamente idealista. Hemos visto cómo los candidatos harán cualquier cosa para ganar, la prensa partidista ignorará la verdad para apoyar a su equipo, y el público no está lo suficientemente educado o comprometido como para comprender constantemente lo que es falso.
Los mayores errores de Zuckerberg provienen de sobreestimar a la humanidad. Desafortunadamente, no todos quieren acercar el mundo. Sin garantías, las herramientas de Facebook pueden ayudar a desgarrarlo. Es hora de que Facebook y Zuckerberg reconozcan la diferencia entre la expresión libre y la expresión paga.
norte
Entonces, ¿por qué no continuar aceptando anuncios mientras intenta eliminar la información errónea? Argumentó que la compañía "necesita enfocar nuestros esfuerzos en los problemas de raíz, sin la carga adicional y la complejidad que conlleva tomar dinero".
norte
Una política general también podría ayudar a Twitter a evitar el dolor de cabeza y la controversia de hacer estas determinaciones de veracidad caso por caso.
Al mismo tiempo, uno de los anuncios que provocó la reciente controversia u2014 en el que la campaña de Trump promovió una teoría de conspiración sobre Joe Biden u2014 también se ejecutó en YouTube y Twitter u00a0 (y en algunas redes de televisión, aunque CNN se negó a emitirlo).
norte
Entonces, aunque la discusión se ha centrado en Facebook, las cuestiones más amplias de permisividad y responsabilidad son las que tienen que enfrentar todas las principales plataformas de Internet.
La idea de que Facebook debería prohibir todos los anuncios políticos es una solución que ha sido presentada por varios expertos, incluido nuestro propio Josh Constine. Antes de hoy, eso podría haber parecido un paso extremo o poco realista. De repente, parece mucho más posible u2014 o al menos como Mark Zuckerberg tendrá que seguir respondiendo preguntas sobre esto por un tiempo.
norte
Dorsey no mencionó Facebook por su nombre en sus tweets, pero pareció aludir a la posición de la compañía cuando escribió: "Por ejemplo, no es creíble que digamos: 'Estamos trabajando duro para evitar que la gente juegue. nuestros sistemas para difundir información engañosa, pero si alguien nos paga para atacar y obligar a las personas a ver su anuncio político bien ... ¡pueden decir lo que quieran! ud83d ude09 '"
Dorsey también reconoció que Twitter es "una pequeña parte de un ecosistema de publicidad política mucho más grande", pero dijo: "Hemos sido testigos de que muchos movimientos sociales alcanzan una escala masiva sin publicidad política". Confío en que esto solo crecerá ".
norte
En un comunicado, la analista senior de eMarketer Jasmine Enberg dijo que la medida está "en marcado contraste con Facebook", pero también señaló que "es probable que la publicidad política no constituya una parte crítica del negocio principal de Twitter".

nttXiao Wang is CEO at Boundless, a technology startup that has helped thousands of immigrant families apply for marriage green cards and U.S. citizenship while providing affordable access to independent immigration attorneys.t
Immigration advocates are rightly fretting over the Trump administrationu2019s new health insurance mandate and efforts to dismantle the asylum system. But away from the spotlight, another crisis is quietly brewing that could affect virtually every foreign-born STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) student and worker.
n
The problem lies inEmployment Authorization Documents (EADs). These work permits, issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), authorize international students and green card applicants to take jobs. Requests for EADs, known asI-765s, now account for more than a quarter of all forms USCIS receives. But technological hiccups, staffing shortages, and the pressures of conforming to new immigration policies mean the agency is taking longer and longer to process them. Thatu2019s leaving tens of thousands of students and skilled workers unable to work and hundreds of thousands of tech positions unfilled for months, or even years.u00a0
n
The EAD crisis has been simmering for years but reached a head in early 2017 when officialsscrapped a rule requiring USCIS to process I-765s within 90 days. Along with an influx of new EAD requests fromDACA yTPS recipients, thatu2019s led to spiraling delays. In 2015, 23 percent of EAD applications took more than three months to process; by 2018, it had doubled to 46 percent. The average processing time today for non-DACA-related EADs isalmost five months, with over a third of applications taking significantly longer u2014 last year, over 118,000 applications took more than nine months to process.u00a0
n
That squares with what weu2019re seeing atBoundless: our internal data show that average EAD wait times have climbed above five months, with many customers waiting eight months or more for work permits. Weu2019re also seeing an enormous disparity among processing facilities, with some USCIS service centers far more clogged than others. At the time of writing, if your I-765 is processed in Texas, for example, you could get your EAD within three weeks; if in Vermont, you could waitmore than 17 months, depending on the immigration status you seek.
n
That adds up to an unpredictable, unfair, and deeply frustrating situation and one more obstacle for the skilled immigrants that President Donald Trump says heu2019s trying to attract to the United States. Whether youu2019re trying to make ends meet while waiting for your green card, seeking a summer job, or hoping to work after graduation, EAD delays can be excruciating u2014 and unless your employer is willing to wait for you, the holdup could cost you your dream job.u00a0
n
So what could you do if you find yourself stuck in EAD limbo? Fortunately, you have options:
n
If you already have a visa, hold on to it
n
Many immigrants file EAD requests as part of their green card applications, even if theyu2019re already authorized to work under visas such as an H-1B or L-1. Thatu2019s a smart move: If your current work visa expires, but youu2019ve been issued an EAD, youu2019ll be able to keep working until your green card arrives. Still, if your EAD gets delayed, youu2019ll be glad to know that as long as your original employment-based visa remains valid, you can keep working without a problem.u00a0
n
Bear in mind, though, that you wonu2019t be able to renew your existing visa after filing a green card application. Itu2019s worth applying for your green card as soon as youu2019re eligible to give you plenty of time before your existing work visa expires.u00a0u00a0
n
If youu2019re still waiting, tell USCIS
n
Itu2019s not impossible for your EAD to slip through the cracks or be sent to the wrong address, so check with USCIS if things are taking too long. Start by checking the processing times for your service center. If you filed your I-765 before the u201creceipt date for a case inquiryu201d listed on the USCIS processing times tool, you canfile an e-Request or call 1-800-375-5283 for an update.u00a0
n
In some cases, you can also ask USCIS toexpedite your I-765. This is only available in certain circumstances, such as if delays are due to USCIS error or if you or your prospective employer would otherwise suffer major financial losses. Unfortunately, the possibility of losing or delaying acceptance of a job offer isnu2019t sufficient grounds for expediting an application.

Security is one of the toughest things to get right; a hacker only needs to win once, but businesses have to get it right every single time.
n
Not every company faces the same field of threats. That’s what makes security particularly difficult u2014 there are no panaceas, and the cybersecurity startup field is crowded. So much so, some entrepreneurs complain that the vast number of solutions on the market are weighing down chief security officers with a deluge of data but not the clear visibility they need.
n
Or, as one of the cybersecurity-focused VCs we surveyed called it: “startup fatigue.”
n
Many of the rising cybersecurity startups focus on the same or overlapping problems could lead to a “cybersecurity consolidation,” one that’s dictated by customers and not necessarily the businesses themselves.
n
But there’s usually one element that feeds into everything u2014 data.
n
As hacks and breaches become more common, companies and customers alike are reevaluating their relationships with data. Customers want more ownership of their data and the ability to give it out granularly, while an increasing number of businesses are shifting away from central banks of data and leaning towards a “zero data” approach.
n
By minimizing the amount of information companies store or collect, it’s validation that even some larger startups don’t even trust themselves to secure data properly.
n
Not only that, there’s as much mistrust inside their own networks. That’s where “zero trust” comes into play u2014 where you don’t trust, but you certainly verify. The idea is that you get no extra special access inside a company’s four walls. Many big companies, like Google, treat all employees the as if they present the same level of security risk whether they’re in the office, at home, or in a coffee shop down the street.
n
u201cYou should be able to run your whole business out of a Starbucks,u201d said Google security chief Heather Adkins at Disrupt SF.
n
Why the mistrust? Because security isn’t just a technology problem, it’s a people problem. And it’s not only people creating the solutions, it’s people with the solutions to create these startups to begin with.
n
We asked ten leading cybersecurity VCs who work at firms that span early to growth stages to share where they see opportunity in this sector:
In cybersecurity, what are you most interested in right now from an investment perspective?
n
Unfortunately, the cybersecurity landscape is overcrowded with many vendors that offer point solutions. I believe CISOs are tired of deploying additional security products which for the most part have overlapping functionality. So I am very cautious with additional tools that are deployed inside the enterprise perimeter (network, endpoint, etc.).u00a0 I am looking for companies that can be deployed quickly and demonstrate immediate value to CISOs, and do not overwhelm the CISO with many new alerts.
n
What are the most interesting trends in the space, particularly ones you think are under-appreciated by other investors?
n
I think there are still many opportunities to improve application security. The combination of every company becoming a software company on the one hand and development environments becoming more chaotic on the other hand, results in many new risks and opportunities in securing your software. This includes securing third-party APIs or open-source components which are outside your control and giving developers and devops engineers more security tools while not hindering the pace of development.
n
Another interesting trend is micro-segmentation and authorization u2014 with the adoption of zero-trust frameworks and authentication becoming a solved problem u2014 deciding who gets access to what has become increasingly important.
n
Are there any startups in cybersecurity you wish existed, but haven’t seen yet?

There are two types of enterprise startups: those that create value and those that protect value. Cybersecurity is most definitely part of the latter group, and as a vertical, it has sprawled the past few years as the scale of attacks on companies, organizations, and governments has continuously expanded.
n
That may be a constant threat for the executives of major companies, but for cybersecurity VCs who pick the right startup targets for investment, it’s a potential gold mine. Here at Extra Crunch, we compiled a list of top VCs who have invested in cybersecurity and enterprise more broadly and asked them whatu2019s interesting in the space these days. We compiled ten of their responses as part of our investor survey and you should definitely take a look for their interesting takes on the space.
n
But we wanted to go a bit deeper on the topic to learn more about whatu2019s happening right now in cybersecurity. So today, we talk with Arif Janmohamed of Lightspeed Venture Partners, one of the leading investors at one of the top enterprise VC firms in the world. Heu2019s invested in companies ranging from cloud-access security broker Netskope and search analytics platform ThoughtSpot to Qubole (big data analytics), Nutanix (hyper-converged infrastructure), and Arceo.ai (cyber risk management).

TechCrunchu2019s security guru Zack Whittaker, managing editor Danny Crichton and operations editor Arman Tabatabai sat down with him to discuss what heu2019s seeing at the earliest stages in cybersecurity, which trends are being ignored by the industry and what he sees as the future of security in an always-changing present.
n
Introduction and Background
n
The following interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
n
Danny Crichton: Letu2019s start with a bit of your background.
n
Arif Janmohamed: Sure. I’m on the early-stage side, so I have the most fun when I’m working with founders at the very earliest stages of company formation, where I can focus on company design, product and go-to-market and then find the right balance of teams to fill that out.
n
I’m on the board of Netskope, which is a cloud-security company. That one I did the Series B back in 2013. I’m on the board of TripActions, which is a corporate travel company, I did that one and then led the Series A and the Series B. I’m on the board of Moveworks, which is an AI engine for IT that was seeded by me and then I’ve supported them through their subsequent financing. I’m also on the board of a number of other companies.
n
Am I purely security-focused? The answer is no, I’m very much enterprise-focused. Security in my mind really fits within that rubric of the enterprise stack that’s getting rebuilt for a cloud-first world.
ZackWhittaker: So I’ve got a question that I just want to jump right in with. I’m always curious about this, especially when it comes to the very early stage, how do you go about distinguishing between potential snake oil and the things that seem really viable in the security world?

defends political ads that will be 0.5% of 2020 revenue"},"content":{"rendered":"
Como Jack Dorsey announced his company Twitter would drop all political ads, Facebook CEO Zuckerberg doubled-down on his policy of refusing to fact check politicians’ ads. "UNAtvecesdesocialtensiónahítienea menudobeenunimpulsoaHalarespaldaengratisexpresión . . . Wmiserásermejorservidoterminadoellargotérmino byresistiendothisimpulsoydefendiendogratisexpresión."
n
Aún así, Zuckerberg no pudo delinear entre la libertad de expresión y la libertad de amplificación pagada de esa expresión que inherentemente favorece a los ricos.
During today’s Q3 2019 earnings call where Facebook beat expectations and grew monthly users 2% to 2.45 billion, Zuckerberg spent his time defending the social network’s lenient political ad policy. You can read his full prepared statement aquí.
n
One clear objective was to dispel the idea that Facebook fue motivado por la avaricia para mantener estos anuncios. Zuckerberg explicó "NosotrosestimarestasanunciosdepolíticosseráserMenosque0.5%denuestraingresos el próximo año ”. Como referencia, Facebook ganó $ 66 mil millones en los 12 meses que terminaron el tercer trimestre de 2019, por lo que Facebook podría ganar alrededor de $ 330 millones a $ 400 millones en anuncios políticos el próximo año. Unfortunately, it’s unclear if Zuckerberg meant 0.5% of ads were political or just from politicians without counting issue ads and PACs.
n
Zuckerberg también dijo que dado que Facebook eliminó 50 millones de horas diarias de videos virales de su plataforma para apoyar el bienestar que perjudicaba la audiencia de anuncios y el precio de las acciones de la compañía, Facebook claramente no actúa únicamente en busca de ganancias.

El CEO de Facebook también trató de rechazar la teoría de que Facebook está permitiendo que la información errónea en los anuncios políticos atienda a los conservadores o evite los prejuicios de ellos. "SomepersonasdeciresethisessólotodasunacínicopolíticocálculoyesefueroninterinoenunacaminoesenosotrosnoDe Verdadcreerporquefueronsólomolestoaapaciguarconservatives” he said, responding that “frankly, if our goal was that we’re trying to make either side happy then we’re not doing a very good job because I’m pretty sure everyone is frustrated.”u00a0
n
Instead of banning political ads, Zuckerberg voiced support for increasing transparency about how ads look, how much is spent on them, and where they’re run. "yocreereseelmejoracercarse a, aproximarseesatrabajoaincrementartransparencia. Anunciosu00a0enFacebooksonyamástransparentequeen cualquier sitiomás.Nosotrostenerunapolíticoanunciosarchivoentoncesnadiepuedeescudriñarcadaanuncioeso esrun.”u00a0
n
He mentioned that political ads are run by “Google, YouTube, and most internet platforms”, seeming to stumble for a second as he was likely prepared to cite Gorjeo too until it announced it would drop all political ads an hour earlier. He omitted that Pinterest and TikTok have also banned political ads.
n
It doesn’t help that hundreds of Facebook’s own employees have called on their CEO to change the policy. He concluded that no one could accuse Facebook of not deeply thinking through the question and its downstream ramifications. Zuckerberg did leave himself an out if he chooses to change the policy, though. “I’ve considered whether we should not (sell political ads) in the past, and I’ll continue to do so.”
Dorsey tenía tuiteó that “Weu2019ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought.” Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed support for Twitter’s move while Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale called it “a very dumb decision”
n
El CEO de Twitter tomó algunas medidas claras en Zuckerberg, contrarrestando sus argumentos comunes para permitir la desinformación en los anuncios de los políticos. “Algunos podrían argumentar que nuestras acciones de hoy podrían favorecer a los titulares. Pero hemos sido testigos de que muchos movimientos sociales alcanzan una escala masiva sin publicidad política. Confío en que esto solo crecerá ". Dado que el presidente Trump había gastado más que todos los candidatos demócratas en los anuncios de Facebook a partir de marzo de este año, está claro que los titulares con mucho dinero podrían beneficiarse de la política de Facebook.

Miming Facebook’s position, Dorsey tweeted “Itu2018s not credible for us to say: ‘Weu2019re working hard to stop people from gaming our systems to spread misleading info, buuut if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political adu2026well…they can say whatever they want!”
n
Twitter doesn’t earn much from political ads, citing only $3 million in revenue from the 2018 mid-term elections, or roughly 0.1% of its $3 billion in total 2018 revenue. That means there will be no major windfall for Facebook from Twitter dropping political ads. But now all eyes will be on Facebook and Google/YouTube. If Sundar Pichai and Susan Wojcicki move in line with Dorsey, it could make Zuckerberg even more vulnerable to criticism.
n
$330 million might not be a big incentive for Facebook or Zuckerberg, but it still sounds like a lot of money to earn from ads that potentially lie to voters. I respect Facebook’s lenient policy when it comes to speech organically posted to users, organizations, or politicians’ own accounts. But relying on the candidates, press, and public to police speech is dangerously idealistic. We’ve seen how candidates will do anything to win, partisan press will ignore the truth to support their team, and the public aren’t educated or engaged enough to consistently understand what’s false.
n
Zuckerberg greatest mistakes have come from overestimating humanity. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to bring the world closer together. Without safeguards, Facebook’s tools can help tear it apart. It’s time for Facebook and Zuckerberg to recognize the difference between free expression and paid expression.
