| Facebook Cracks Down on QAnon Content | |
| | Hi there, Facebook took the notable action of removing accounts that promoted QAnon yesterday, as my colleague Scott Nover reported. Individuals who express those beliefs on Facebook will still be able to do so (as long as they don't violate site rules). However, the platform will now limit their ability to formally organize on their channels. Facebook's decision has parallels to its competitors: Twitter, among other actions, banned 7,000 accounts associated with QAnon last month; TikTok removed QAnon hashtags; Reddit removed QAnon subreddits. In media news: - Condé Nast touted its virtual event lineup to advertisers this week, giving a glimpse of events to come this year. Without revealing exact lineups, the company touted a virtual New Yorker Festival, as an example, featuring "curated activities for inside and outside the home."
- Under a new partnership, native advertising company MGID will provide the service across Microsoft's news properties, including MSN.
- A new branded content deal struck between Bleacher Report and Audi will kick off with a five-part series that profiles up and coming talent in Major League Soccer. The series, called The Academy, debuted across channels yesterday.
