On Wednesday, Facebook posted a report for the most viewed content in the US in the last quarter. It was the first time the largest social network published such a thing.
However, according to the New York Times, Facebook was preparing a similar report for the first quarter of 2021 but chose not to disclose it, as it could have a negative impact on company.
The New York The Times, which has a copy of that publication, reports that the link with the most views in the first quarter had as its headline something that could fuel hesitancy about the COVID-19 vaccination.
Συγκεκριμένα ήταν μια viral δημοσίευση του μεγαλύτερου κοινωνικού δικτύου με τίτλο: "Γphysician πέθανε δύο εβδομάδες μετά τον εμβολιασμό του COVID-19. Το CDC ερευνά το γιατί".
The article was published by the South Florida Sun. Sentinel and republished by the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times reports.
Το Facebook ετοίμαζε την δημοσίευση αυτής της έκθεσης, αλλά στελέχη όπως τον Alex Schultz, CMO και VP ανάλυσης του Facebook, προφανώς σκέφτηκαν ότι "θα προκαλούσε προβλήματα στις δημόσιες σχέσεις", σύμφωνα με τα εσωτερικά emails και τελικά αποφάσισαν να μην την δημοσιεύσουν, αναφέρουν οι New York Times.
It was a full week for Facebook. In addition to publishing the report with the top publications of the quarter, it also had to deal with an amended antitrust complaint filed against the company by the Federal Trade Commission.
