A third town hall meeting took place last night in the South Grand Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center, where University of Arizona President Robert Shelton addressed a crowd of nearly 300 staff and faculty on the looming UA transformation.
"The core question is . . . are we running the UA like it's supposed to?" Shelton said.
The meeting was scheduled after an overwhelming response to the previous two, designed to answer further questions before the impending deadline of the white paper proposals Oct. 13. The white papers are suggestions from each department about how it can save money.
"The goal should always be to be more excellent and to do the things we have to do to be a great public university," Shelton told the audience. "I can't do my job without you. I need your input. I need the point of the professionals. I need faculty input. I need student input."
Shelton stressed the immediacy of the situation and the necessity of the university's transformation proposal to be completed by the end of year. According to Shelton, the short term will not be good for the UA, and this year through the fiscal year of 2010 will be very difficult. Eliminating activities and expediting student graduation were issues Shelton briefly mentioned, while insisting that tenure-tracked faculty would not lose their jobs.
In light of budget cuts, which Shelton said have been occurring consistently over the last 10 years, many UA employees expressed concern about the situation, and wonder how the transformation will affect them.
"How do I keep those who remain motivated?" asked an employee of Parking and Transportation.
"What we're trying to get past is having to do this (budget cuts) year after year after year. So please tell them (employees) that we are serious about this. I expect us to come out stronger in the end," Shelton said.
Shelton stressed the importance of audience, faculty and staff opinions as well as his reliance on them. The meeting was catered to individuals with concerns from not only the UA campus, but also the UA South campus and the College of Medicine in Phoenix.
"What actions did the administration plan to take . . . that could stop lay-offs that loom ahead?" asked Tom Gelsinon, program coordinator for the Mexican American Studies department.
Shelton admitted to the sensitivity of the issue before asking, "Can we find alternatives to straightforward lay-offs, where we might have more gentle reductions? The answer to . . . that is yes, in the sense that we need to think about all possibilities."
Thursday's meeting was the final one before the deadline of the white paper proposals. Shelton insisted that changes may be made to proposals after the deadline, and that it will not be until Dec. 15 that the transformation proposal will be complete. Shelton made no comments on possible future meetings to discuss the transformation issues.
Tumblr has a new app, and strangely, it's all about YouTube videos.
The Yahoo-owned company was apparently interested in catering to YouTube users, because it has launched Cabana, an app that allows you to watch YouTube videos with up to six friends simultaneously. The idea is that, instead of having to pass your phone or tilt your laptop toward a friend so that they can watch an online video with you, you can now watch it with friends who aren't even in the same room.
Strangely, at launch, Cabana isn’t linked to Tumblr. So, to find all your friends, you must look up their phone numbers. The app launches users into their own broadcast and sends an alert to their friends via push notifications. You can jump in and out of video chats, watch videos with friends, or just watch videos of people watching videos. The app only integrates with YouTube for now.
It'd be neat to see other services added in the future. We could see ourselves using the app to watch a Netflix show with family from across the world, but who knows if Netflix would even allow that. Also, the ability to record video chats would be neat, but then that brings up the issue of copyrights and what not. Anyway, if Cabana interests you and your friends, it is now available for free in Apple's App Store.

Facebook sought much-needed respite from its Christchurch and Cambridge Analytica negative press on Tuesday, announcing the removal of a significant number of pages, groups and accounts engaged in what they call "coordinated inauthentic behavior". Most of the better-organized activity seemingly emanated from fake accounts linked to Iran, peddling state-mandated propaganda relating to Syria, Yemen and Palestine.
Facebook also removed accounts linked to "Russia, Macedonia and Kosovo", but Iran was the clear standout, with networks linked to the country responsible for "513 pages, groups and accounts," operating in "Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Kashmir, Kazakhstan [and] broadly across the Middle East and North Africa."
A blog post pointed to on Twitter by Facebook’s head of cybersecurity, said: “the pages routinely amplified Iranian state narratives, targeting Israel, the United States, and Saudi Arabia, especially for their roles in the Middle East, and focusing on the Yemen and Palestine conflicts... The pages often shared articles from websites which reproduced, verbatim, content from Iranian state or state-allied outlets, such as Press TV."
According to Facebook, the uncovered Iranian network accounted for 263 Facebook and 57 Instagram accounts, with 1.4 million page followers and 38,000 accounts following one or more of those Instagram accounts. The company reported that "the page administrators and account owners represented themselves as locals and made-up media entities, often using fake accounts – and they impersonated real political groups and media organizations."
In January, Facebook also announced that it had detected "activity directed from Iran, in some cases repurposing Iranian state media content, and engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior targeting people across the world, although more heavily in the Middle East and South Asia. These were interconnected and localized operations, which used similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing."
Today's announcement disclosed that the Iranian network "posted news stories on current events and frequently repurposed and amplified content from Iranian state media.” Of particular interest is the range of headline topics that have been targeted, and which include “sanctions against Iran, tensions between India and Pakistan, conflicts in Syria and Yemen, terrorism, tensions between Israel and Palestine, Islamic religious issues, Indian politics, and the recent crisis in Venezuela."
Multiple pages appeared to fuel the anti-Zionist press that has made headlines in U.K. politics in recent months, with captions relating to the anti-Zionist rhetoric that has been amplified on the left of British politics since Jeremy Corbyn took the leadership of the opposition Labour Party. Posts disclosed by Facebook included captions such as: "Palestine’s flag was fluttered at annual British Trade Union conference" and "a member of the House of Lords of the British Parliament, has asked the Ministry of Defense why London has been using the Zionist Air Force to participate in the Cobra exercise".
Corbyn himself has been linked to Iran, having hosted several programs for the country's state Press TV and has been heavily criticized for befriending Hamas and Hezbollah and laying a wreath at a grave in Tunis associated with the terrorist organization that massacred Israeli athletes in 1972. A number of the pages removed by Facebook play directly into this.
From a U.S. perspective, other posts included "Venezuela praises rejection of the United States to Trump’s interference" and "Iran’s fast boat threaten US aircraft carrier – For the real Muslims, don’t forget to give comment Allahu akbar and click share".
In total 2,632 Pages, Groups and accounts were removed from Facebook and Instagram. The company said they "didn’t find any links between these sets of activities, but they used similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing."
Detecting and removing coordinated fake accounts promoting a set of common causes has become an increasing focus for Facebook. Last November the company announced that they had removed similar pages and accounts just ahead of the U.S. midterms after information received from law enforcement.
Facebook also removed almost 2,000 pages, groups and accounts for spam - "of which a small portion was engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior" - linked to Russia". It is notable that more of the focus of today's announcement was on Iran than Russia, given the respective 'fake news' capabilities of the respective countries.
There were also more than 200 pages, groups and accounts that originated in Macedonia and Kosovo, of which "a small number of pages purported to represent political communities in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States". These accounts "posted about religious and political topics like nationalism, Islam, and political figures," and misrepresented their locations, albeit Facebook uncovered that they were linked to a network of individuals operating in Macedonia and Kosovo. Some of the messages posted included attacks on anti-Brexit U.K. politicians.
This news will be a welcome respite for Facebook after the increasing criticism of their handling of the Christchurch attack footage that streamed on their site and their alleged unwillingness to remove the far-right material that is seen to be fueling increasing levels of extremism.
Putting Facebook to one side, the increasing efforts on the part of the Iranian regime to fuel popular political movements in foreign countries through the use of social media is escalating. Last year, Iran's fake news machine was dismissed as a 'rank amateur’ when compared to Russia in particular. The news today suggests that might be changing.
How social media continues to regulate itself, detecting and removing fake accounts and news in this way has now become central to the ongoing debate about the role social media should play in society.
The bill would bar companies from choosing groups of people for behavioural experiments unless the companies get informed consent.
Two US senators introduced a bill on April 9 to ban online social media companies like Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc from tricking consumers into giving up their personal data. The bill from Mark Warner, a Democrat, and Deb Fischer, a Republican, would also ban online platforms with more than 100 million monthly active users from designing addicting games or other websites for children under age 13.
The bill takes aim at practices that online platforms use to mislead people into giving personal data to companies or otherwise trick them. The so-called “dark patterns” were developed using behavioural psychology.
“Misleading prompts to just click the ‘OK’ button can often transfer your contacts, messages, browsing activity, photos, or location information without you even realising it,” Fischer said in a statement issued by both senators.
A website aimed at tracking dark patterns identifies behaviour, such as a website or app showing that a user has new notifications when they do not.
Warner noted that Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, Google, and others have expressed support for privacy regulation.
Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other free online services rely on advertising for revenue and use data collected on users to more effectively target those ads.
