Soziale Netzwerke und Demokratie
„Why Obama Fears for Our Democracy – In an exclusive interview, the former president identifies the greatest threats to the American experiment, explains why he’s still hopeful, and opens up about his new book. … The populist wave was abetted by Fox News and other right-wing media outlets, he said, and encouraged to spread by social-media companies uninterested in exploring their impact on democracy. ‚I don’t hold the tech companies entirely responsible,‘ he said, ‚because this predates social media. It was already there. But social media has turbocharged it. I know most of these folks. I’ve talked to them about it. The degree to which these companies are insisting that they are more like a phone company than they are like The Atlantic, I do not think is tenable. They are making editorial choices, whether they’ve buried them in algorithms or not. The First Amendment doesn’t require private companies to provide a platform for any view that is out there.'“

„Facebook Knows That Adding Labels To Trump’s False Claims Does Little To Stop Their Spread – Internal data shows that labels on President Trump’s posts decrease reshares by about 8%. They still account for some of the most engaging posts on the platform. … In the aftermath of the 2020 US presidential election, Trump has repeatedly spread false information questioning President-elect Joe Biden’s victory – and been rewarded with massive engagement on Facebook. The company has attempted to temper this by adding labels to the false claims directing people to accurate information about the election and its results.“

Wie produktiv ist das Homeoffice?
„Zankapfel Homeoffice: Arbeitgeber befürchten Produktivitätsverlust – Sind Büroarbeiter im Homeoffice oder in der Firma produktiver? Eine Umfrage des ifo-Instituts kommt jetzt zu einem kritischen Urteil über mobiles Arbeiten. – Unternehmen in Deutschland sehen einer neuen Umfrage zufolge das Homeoffice weit weniger positiv als viele Arbeitnehmer.

Dagegen meldeten 30,4 Prozent der Firmen eine unveränderte, 27 Prozent sogar eine gesunkene Produktivität ihrer Belegschaft. Das Münchner Ifo-Institut befragte dazu im Auftrag der Stiftung Familienunternehmen im Oktober 1097 Unternehmen.“
