The Facebook Papers: A consortium of 17 US news outlets, including CNN, obtained redacted versions of documents "provided by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen as evidence to support disclosures she made to the SEC." Stories are starting to come out https://t.co/EHyOCRAb4k

Six days after Nov. 3, a Facebook data scientist noticed as much as 1 out of every 50 US views (or 10% of all political views) on the platform were on posts alleging election fraud.

New from the Facebook leaks, by @BrandyZadrozny:

Facebook staffers created a Trump-loving, Fox News-watching fake identity.

The account went wherever the algorithm told it to go.

It went full-on QAnon in two days.

Facebook told nobody about this.https://t.co/8XonN3glrV

Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent on the Supreme Court taking up Texas abortion law, but declining to block it: "Every day the Court fails to grant relief is devastating, both for individual women and for our constitutional system as a whole." https://t.co/uxmeSDwldp pic.twitter.com/ZXrWGrqsQH

IMO the Court declined the stay to be consistent with its prior decision on the same issue but ordered expedited briefing so they could address the merits – and they are going to strike the Texas law and uphold Roe on this go-around.

Supreme Court schedules hearing on Texas abortion case for Nov. 1–the day before the #VAGov election. Hmm.

Part of me thinks Nicholas Witchell is playing hard ball with the Palace here, like: "OK, Palace, if you want to lie about the Queen, your shout, but that'll mean everyone is going to speculate, wouldn't want that, would we?"

And throws on a black tie to hammer it home https://t.co/qLvs83Jx3b

Just under 30 years ago when I was at university (how is it nearly 30 years?) and on student radio (I know), there was a stupid joke about the queen dying and a BBC spelling error leading to 24 hours of samba music and it still makes me laugh

— Robert Venes (@rowsdowser) October 22, 2021

My sincere hope for the Queen is that she lives long enough not to have her death announced by Boris Johnson

Did anyone seriously think that the EU was going to leave core banking functions in a country that has declared itself a competitor to the EU? Whinges that it is all politics carry little heft. Brexit was politics or it was nothing. https://t.co/lClj6GKZ5B

Good but grim thread. So many problems caused by Brexit & now the desperate rush to sign sub-optimal 'deals' with countries on the other side of the world. Vote Leave government can't encourage behaviour that might mitigate problems because it still can't admit problems exist. https://t.co/nDMwMJ4ctS

"EU exports became impossible after Brexit took effect on January 1 because the UK was treated as a non-EU country" might be better rendered as:

This one is a classic of UK government over-promise and under-delivery on trade, and of how… actually, no spoilers, because this is a tale that needs to be read to the end.

And at some point someone in government may realise we really need that trade strategy. https://t.co/xsQCAKZjhi
