Facebook had a problem. Along with its sister platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, it was a daily destination for billions of users around the world, extolling its products for connecting people. But as a succession of scandals rocked Facebook from 2016, some began to question whether the company could control, or even understood, its own platforms.
As Facebook employees searched for answers, what they uncovered was worse than they could've imagined. The problems ran far deeper than politics. Facebook was peddling and amplifying anger, looking the other way at human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians and allowing VIP users to break the platform's supposedly inviolable rules.
It turned out to be eminently possible to isolate many of Facebook's worst problems, but whenever employees offered solutions their work was consistently delayed, watered down or stifled by a company that valued user engagement above all else. The only option left was to blow the whistle.
In Broken Code, award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz tells the riveting inside story of these employees and their explosive discoveries, uncovering the shocking cost of Facebook's blind ambition in the process.
The lead singer on Supercell's eponymous first album is Hatsune
Miku-a Vocaloid character created by Crypton Future Media with
voice synthesizers. A virtual superstar, over 100,000 songs,
uploaded mostly by fans, are attributed to her. Supercell is a
Japanese creator music group with the composer Ryo leading ten
artists, who design album illustrations and make music videos.
These videos are uploaded onto Niconico and other video-sharing
sites. By the time Supercell was released in March 2009, the
group's Vocaloid works were already well-known to Niconico users
and fans. This book explores the Vocaloid and DTM (desktop music)
phenomena through the lenses of media and fan studies, looking
closely at online social media platforms, the new technology for
composing, avid fans of the Vocaloid character, and these fans'
performative practices. It provides a sense of how interactive new
media and an empowered fan base combine to engage in the creation
processes and enhance the circulation of DTM works. 33 1/3 Global,
a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format
