Last week, we were thinking about Facebook's current situation—its problems are piling up. With the WSJ investigation and its tech failures, the firm is slowly declining.

One thing is certain—Facebook is changing, as are we as users.

The New York Times shuts down its original reporting/opinion pieces in Spanish. From now on, articles in Spanish will just be translations.

@DiegoFonsecaDF’s thread is a great take on why this is happening and why it may be a short-sighted decision.

[Diego Fonseca @DiegoFonsecaDF]

Me subo a un avión y me hacen un lío con todo: hoy se oficializó el fin de @nytimes en español. Terminó lo ultimo que quedaba vivo —Opinión— después de que NYT decidiera cerrar el newsroom.

Era un proyecto muy atractivo pero nunca tuvo detrás una decisión estratégica.

@FrancesHaugen has arrived and she didn’t flinch

[Cecilia Kang @ceciliakang]

Hello! Here’s what to expect today at the Facebook Whistleblower hearing.

Tough day for Facebook as ⁦@FrancesHaugen⁩ tells Congress FB prioritized profits over teens safety and explains how the algorithms juice up toxic content.

[Esteban Novillo @ENovilloP]

Hoy es un día importante para los que trabajamos con audio en la Agencia Efe. Hemos puesto en marcha cuatro cápsulas informativas diarias en formato podcast de tres minutos. En este breve hilo te las presento.

This is a conversation worth having—Are social media platforms utilities?

They certainly serve similar purposes.

[Media Matters @IeseMedia]

Great article on Facebook’s multiple issues, thinking a little about its users.

Spanish outlet El Pais launches its own audio brand, following the steps of other newspapers such as the New York Times or even the Journal.

On the Facebook Files.

[Meet the Press @MeetThePress]

WATCH: Jeff Horwitz says Facebook has thrown their own researchers “under the bus” for identifying problems caused by their products.

@JeffHorwitz: “They have taken pretty much all of their researchers and basically blamed them for this. It’s a very weird mentality over there.”
