While the title is in Norwegian, more appropriate title: "Frances Haugen asks Government Pension Fund of Norway to sell out of Meta".
For context, the Government Pension Fund of Norway (commonly known as Oljefondet/The Oil Fund), owns ~1% of Meta.
That FB are removing anti-Facebook ads are not mentioned in the article, and hardly news either way. What got removed were promotions for the event at the Nobel Peace Center where Haugen was debating.
- punnerud 5y agoFrom almost the start of the article: “The Nobel Peace Center advertised the event precisely on social media, but ads on Facebook were removed, without further explanation, as "political advertising". The center has received ads for other events on Facebook without any problems.” Summary: Facebook is removing Nobel Peace Center ads about anti-Facebook event. Or am I missing something?
- 3np 5y agoIndeed. Editorializing the title to represent that as an "anti-Facebook-ad" is ragebait, especially as it isn't referred to as such in TFA. EDIT response: You are free to call it an "anti-Facebook" ad in comments (though I'd disagree; the event was not against FB per se). Either way the title is misrepresenting the article as the ad-removal is just mentioned briefly and then talks about other things. I think you can still edit it to correct the mistake. HN guidelines: > please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
- rsolva 5y agoThis behavior is ironic considering Marks 'free speech' stance regarding other controversial topics. Also, I was not aware that our pension fund owned 1% of Meta. That has to change.
