Of those shopping online more frequently, 78% will continue to do so in the future. TRENDS 70% of consumers live In areas where non-essential retailers have opened. Of that percentage, 57% do not feel the need to visit and over 30% are concerned other shoppers will not take safety precautions (wearing a mask, socially distancing themselves, etc.) In brief, Americans are eager to return to in-store shopping this summer; retailers and businesses need to be aware of customers’ heightened expectations of the in-store experience and safety measures if they hope to keep running amid the pandemic.

CONSUMER TRENDS LATEST 4 On Monday, The New York Times announced its intent to end its partnership with Apple News. The Times is one of the first publishers to officially pull out of Apple’s news product. The Times has made growing its subscriber base a key business goal. In Q1, NYT saw 587,000 new digital subscribers, primarily due to content involving the pandemic. Overall, the publisher has 6 million subscribers (print + digital) and is targeting to have 10 million subscribers by 2025. In comparison, Apple News has also surged during the pandemic. Monthly active users have grown 25% to 125 million since the beginning of the year. NEWS + DIGITAL In a memo to employees, Meredith Kopit Levien, chief operating TRENDS officer at the Times, said the company wants “a direct path for sending those readers back into our environments, where we control the presentation of our report, the relationships with our readers, and the nature of our business rules.” CUT TIES Why should we care? The official pull comes as news publishers are increasingly at odds with tech giants like Apple that seek to profit off their content. Expect other publications to quickly follow suit out of their own self-preservation as the media industry continues to have a digital transformation. NYT + APPLE NEWS 5 Have you heard of Parler? As major social networks take a stance, Parler’s numbers surge On Monday, Reddit banned the subreddit r/The_Donald, saying the forum had repeatedly violated its terms of service by promoting hate speech and allowing targeted harassment. The move left the 800,000 subreddit members with nowhere to congregate. Reddit CEO noted the removal of the community was part of a larger purge of over 2,000 communities of various persuasions, most of them inactive. In addition to Reddit, other companies have made public declarations against Hate Speech. ● Facebook in a major turnaround, announced it would add guidelines to label hate NEWS + speech ● Twitch banned Trump’s channel yesterday for violating its rules against hate speech. DIGITAL ● YouTube also made major moves last week, banning six channels including those TRENDS belonging to two white supremacists for violating its policies Why should we care? As supporters of the President look for a new platform to congregate, the free-speech social network, Parler, has seen its user base increase 50% in the past week to over 1.5 million users. We’re a community town square, an open town square, with no censorship,” said Parler’s CEO + Founder John Matze. “If you can say it on the street of New York, you can say it on Parler.” However, Matze doesn’t want the Parler to be just a spot for the conservative base. Interestingly, Matze noted he doesn’t align with either political party and he wants to see more healthy conversation. He’s so intent on having an equal balance that he’s offering a $20,000 “progressive bounty” for an openly liberal thought leader with 50,000 followers on Twitter or Facebook to start a Parler account. So far, no one has publicly taken him up on his offer. 6 Source // CNBC DIVERSITY In Influencer Marketing Visual storytelling platform, NYC x Clothes recently published an open letter to brands from Black Creators.

  • Covid-19 Disinformation Briefing No.1 27Th March 2020
    Briefing paper Covid-19 Disinformation Briefing No.1 27th March 2020 Covid-19 Disinformation Briefing No.1 This is the first in a series of briefings from ISD’s Digital Research Unit on the information ecosystem around Covid-19. This first briefing compiles research from ISD’s own analysis of online platforms, as well as summarising recent investigations and research on the state of play of disinformation around Covid-19. Briefing paper Covid-19 Disinformation Briefing No.1 27th March 2020 Top Lines • Both state-sponsored media and extremist movements are exploiting the Covid-19 situation to spread harmful and hateful messaging on social media; • Anti-migrant and far-right networks are exploiting the Covid-19 situation to spread disinformation targeting migrants, refugees and other vulnerable populations on- and offline, as well as explicit threats of violence/harm to non-white populations from white supremacist groups online; • Crisis points like Covid-19 are playing into “accelerationism” on the extreme right, which promotes the idea that democracy is a failure and that groups should accelerate its end through mobilising social conflict and violence; • Misinformation about cures or treatments for coronavirus continue to circulate widely on Twitter and Facebook, often amplified by politicians and news media, and has contributed to fatal offline incidents; • Notwithstanding technology platforms’ efforts to address disinformation on Covid-19, we are still seeing platforms both large and small are hosting conspiracy theories that could undermine efforts to deal with the crisis and its growth, including those disputing the reality of the virus and its impacts on health and life, which are particularly prevalent in closed groups and chat channels; • There are some attempts to profiteer off the coronavirus pandemic through online platforms and advertising, despite platforms banning such practices.

  • Memo: Facebook Is Failing Its Own Election Tests
    MEMO: FACEBOOK IS FAILING ITS OWN ELECTION TESTS Facebook has failed to deliver on a slew of public commitments it made before, during, and after Election Day -- and the damage is far from over. In September 2020, Mark Zuckerberg said that for Facebook, the U.S. presidential election “is not going to be business as usual.” In October 2020, Facebook’s Vice President of Global Affairs and Communications Nick Clegg made an even bolder commitment: “Today we can say it: we are ready.” The weeks since have shown how woefully unprepared Facebook was to protect the integrity of the 2020 election. Despite warnings from election and technology experts, Facebook failed to meet a slew of important policy commitments it made to the public, including on misinformation, false claims of victory, advertisements, false claims of voter fraud, and incitement of violence. When evaluating the company against its own promises, a clear picture emerges: Facebook’s measures were inconsistent, reactionary, and inadequate -- often written to avoid responsibility and prioritize the protection of its own image above American democracy. FACEBOOK ON GROUPS (10/7/20): “We continue to take down content proactively, including in groups that are private. We also -- once we have misinformation that our third party fact checker has rated, we also match it to content inside private groups and that ensures that even those spaces are spaces where our [policies] are enforced.” ACCOUNTABLE TECH WARNING: “Facebook Groups pose a singular threat to this election season.

    January 6, 2018 Board of Directors Apple Inc. 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, California 95014 Ladies & Gentlemen, JANA Partners LLC and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“we” or “us”) collectively own approximately $2 billion in value of shares of Apple Inc. (“Apple” or “you”). As shareholders, we recognize your unique role in the history of innovation and the fact that Apple is one of the most valuable brand names in the world. In partnership with experts including Dr. Michael Rich, founding director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and Professor Jean M. Twenge, psychologist at San Diego State University and author of the book iGen, we have reviewed the evidence and we believe there is a clear need for Apple to offer parents more choices and tools to help them ensure that young consumers are using your products in an optimal manner. By doing so, we believe Apple would once again be playing a pioneering role, this time by setting an example about the obligations of technology companies to their youngest customers. As a company that prides itself on values like inclusiveness, quality education, environmental protection, and supplier responsibility, Apple would also once again be showcasing the innovative spirit that made you the most valuable public company in the world. In fact, we believe that addressing this issue now will enhance long-term value for all shareholders, by creating more choices and options for your customers today and helping to protect the next generation of leaders, innovators, and customers tomorrow.

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19644-6 OPEN Using the president’s tweets to understand political diversion in the age of social media ✉ Stephan Lewandowsky 1,2 , Michael Jetter2,3,4 & Ullrich K. H. Ecker2 Social media has arguably shifted political agenda-setting power away from mainstream media onto politicians. Current U.S. President Trump’s reliance on Twitter is unprecedented, but the underlying implications for agenda setting are poorly understood. Using the president ’ 1234567890():,; as a case study, we present evidence suggesting that President Trump s use of Twitter diverts crucial media (The New York Times and ABC News) from topics that are potentially harmful to him. We find that increased media coverage of the Mueller investigation is immediately followed by Trump tweeting increasingly about unrelated issues. This increased activity, in turn, is followed by a reduction in coverage of the Mueller investigation—a finding that is consistent with the hypothesis that President Trump’s tweets may also successfully divert the media from topics that he considers threatening. The pattern is absent in placebo analyses involving Brexit coverage and several other topics that do not present a political risk to the president. Our results are robust to the inclusion of numerous control variables and exam- ination of several alternative explanations, although the generality of the successful diversion must be established by further investigation. 1 University of Bristol, 12A Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TU, UK. 2 University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Hwy, Perth, WA 6009, Australia. 3 IZA, ✉ Schaumburg-Lippe-Straße 5-9, Bonn 53113, Germany.
