WhatsApp hits the road with skits to stamp out fake news in India
On a hot morning in India's tourist mecca of Jaipur, an open truck painted in the signature lime-green colours of Facebook's WhatsApp messaging service pulls into a dusty lane, where five men spill out and begin to perform a skit. The event is part of a major grassroots effort by WhatsApp to battle fake news, which has triggered numerous lynchings in a country where 200 million people use the service, more than anywhere else in the world. "Our society is better than theirs and that's why you should hate them," says one, citing one example of an incendiary text circulating on WhatsApp in India.

[$$] Facebook’s Orwellian Groupthink Triumphs
Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg expressed frustration to employees that senior executive Joel Kaplan had attended the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Mr. Kaplan’s close friend Brett Kavanaugh (“Zuckerberg Vents On Aide in Hearing,” U.S. News, Oct. 6). Mr. Kaplan didn’t speak on behalf of Mr. Kavanaugh at the hearing, didn’t publicly defend Mr. Kavanaugh in public forums and didn’t raise his Facebook credentials, much less assert them.

David Rolfe Comments on Facebook
On the detractor front, Facebook ( NASDAQ:FB ) shares fell during the quarter after management warned about a deceleration in the rate of revenue growth and guided for margins to fall over the next several years. The Company posted 42% revenue growth for the fiscal second quarter but guided to a growth rate that seemed to be in the mid-20% for upcoming periods, with margins trending almost 10% lower over a longer-term period. First, management has guided to decelerating revenue growth at core Facebook in nearly every quarter for the past few years, so we think there is a good amount of conservatism baked into their implicitly guided growth rates.
