This is hard to believe, but South Korea has its first female TV anchor. Lee So-jeong is now on air five times a week on the national public broadcaster KBS.

The European Commission told its staff to start using Signal. The app is popular among privacy-conscious users because of its default end-to-end encryption. It’s also open source (so you can test its claims of safety). Pushing for stronger encryption, however, puts the EC at odds with law enforcement agencies that want ways to dig into your messages.

Le Monde is using WhatsApp’s status feature (“Stories” of sorts) to reach new readers in Africa. It started to focus on Status after the platform restricted the size of audiences that publishers can broadcast to. One important thing to keep in mind if you’re trying this out: People aren’t notified when a new status goes up. But, on the flip side, you’ll be able to re-use this content on your IG Stories.

Reddit published its annual transparency report, which is always a helpful read to understand how content moderation works across platforms. In 2019, the company received 110 requests from governments (top spots: Turkey and Russia) to remove content. They complied with 37% of them. Source: reddit > Transparency Report 2019

Apple and TikTok both declined to testify at a U.S. congressional hearing looking into their relationships with China. This shouldn’t be a surprise — they both declined the same hearing last year. TikTok said it couldn’t attend because it had to onboard some new hires (unbelievable!). Apple said nothing.

Your WhatsApp groups aren’t the private, closed spaces you think they are. Google and other search engines are apparently indexing invites to private groups on WhatsApp. A journo at Deutsche Welle found out that any group link that’s shared can just as easily be found.

Google banned crap ads. They booted nearly 600 Android apps and their developers from their Play store and its ad networks in a sweep-up of ad fraud and “disruptive” mobile ads. Cheetah Mobile, a publicly traded Chinese company, was the biggest defaulter with 45 apps and advertising inventory removed. “The tech giant’s disruptive ads policy forbids developers from displaying ads when their app is not in use, and from displaying ads in a way that “results in inadvertent clicks.” They also called the ads an “invasive maneuver resulting in poor user experiences.” Source: BuzzFeed.News > Google Has Banned Almost 600 Apps For Pushing “Disruptive” Ads

A new campaign by The Guardian invited Berliners to break glass for free magazines. The poster campaign that depicts smashed emergency boxes that contained issues of the Guardian Weekly was followed up by an installation of actual smashable boxes with actual print issues in it. “We wanted to create an emergency escape—the ability to smash an emergency box, which could arm you with information and facts you need to think more deeply about these subjects.” Berliners were seen dutifully complying.

Inspirit will “advise other start-ups and maybe build some new things down the road”. Source: An Ending and a Beginning

“Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know.” That little slice of UX wisdom is called Jakob’s Law. Designing user interfaces and experiences means walking that tightrope between intuition and innovation: you use familiar design patterns to keep your user comfortable (but not bored), but you also want to try new things to keep her excited (but not annoyed). There’s a reason your website’s logo sits on the top left and links to your home page, or that it scrolls downwards, not up. We’re people, and people like patterns, because patterns are familiar. A good user experience is a lot like driving; if you know how to drive a car, chances are you’ll be able to drive a make of car you’ve never driven before, because familiar patterns. So reinvent the wheel all you like; just make sure it’s round. Source: UX Collective > UX Laws 101: Jakob’s Law of familiarity

Google Maps got a big redesign. It changed its app icon and logo. The classic map intersection icon has gone, and we now have a map pin on a white background that is way more consistent with all the rest of the Google product branding. Strategically, this is symbolic of the evolution of the Maps product itself; 15 years ago, it addressed a user problem around “How do I go there?”, or the journey; Maps is now arguably more about what I can do when I get there — the destination. They also redesigned the app user experience, with two new Contribute and Updates tabs at the bottom, a clear shift to highlighting user-submitted content.

The Duterte administration wants the Supreme Court to shut down ABS-CBN, the biggest TV network in the Philippines. The Solicitor General alleged that ABS was conducting “highly abusive practices” and so should have its business license revoked. The company’s operating franchise expires in March. The owners and staff of the network have been anticipating the move since Duterte came to power in 2016. “This ABS, your contract will expire, and you try to renew. I don’t know what will happen to you. If I were you, just sell it,” he warned. Source: ABS-CBN > Solicitor General questions ABS-CBN franchise before Supreme Court

Facebook banned a network of Pages and accounts linked to Vietnam’s Viettel and its Myanmar franchise Mytel in the company’s first takedown of “commercial misinformation”. The network allegedly used fake accounts to pose as “independent telecom consumer news hubs” while spreading lies about business failures and fraud at rival telcos. Viettel says it doesn’t condone the tactics and is running an internal review. With everyone’s attention drawn to fighting fake political news, are we missing what companies are doing with misinfo?

A BuzzFeed News investigation found more than 100 sites posing as legit local news and financial outlets.

Myanmar’s Daily Eleven has a long, critical op-ed about Facebook’s plan to help the Union Election Commission monitor hate speech on its platform before the election.

Vice Media’s co-founder wanted a massive valuation for the company when he fundraised about two years ago. TPG put in $450 million, valuing the company at $5.7 billion — far larger than any of Vice’s rivals. Vice agreed to guaranteed payments to TPG of up to $400 million in stock and cash dividends. The problem is, Vice is still struggling to turn in a profit — and it’s coming time to pay the piper. Rafat Ali said it beautifully on Twitter: “No one running Vice gives a shit about what Vice stands for, what is its purpose as a media co; it is turd that needs to be financially managed just to sell off so it becomes someone else’s problem.”

The New York Times is undoubtedly the best example of a legacy, local newspaper pivoting into becoming a digital, international brand. It recently announced that it hit its ambitious target of $800 million in annual revenue — a full year ahead of schedule.

In India, Mint recently blew past The Economic Times, its closest competitor in the biz news space. According to The Ken, there are three reasons this happened: strategic hiring, counterintuitive web practices that paid off, and “some questionable design choices”.
