Buongiorno Daniela,

mi hai anticipato :-)

scusa(te) ma per questioni "archivistiche" preferisco un nuovo thread in
lista nexa e per questo ho tolto i riferimenti al thread precedente [1]

entrambe le notizie (questa e [1]) sono "vecchie" ma ora sono
sostanziate e "rinverdite" dal fatto che alcuni documenti sono stati
(ri)pubblicati completamente in chiaro

per completezza, ecco la pagina CourtListener di
«Klein v. Meta Platforms, Inc. (3:20-cv-08570)»:
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/18714274/klein-v-facebook-inc

dove sono elencati tutti i documenti, molti dei quali sono liberamente
disponibili.

il documento relativo alle accuse a Netflix è questo:

Riporto quello di Ars Technica che mi sembra riassumere meglio i termini
della questione.

  [...] The streaming business' demise has seemed related to cost
  cuts at Meta that have also included layoffs. However, recently
  unsealed court documents in an antitrust suit against Meta [ [PDF]]
  claim that Meta has squashed its streaming dreams in order to appease
  one of its biggest ad customers: Netflix.

Facebook allegedly gave Netflix creepy privileges
──────────────────────────────────────────────────


  [...] The letter, made public Saturday, asks a court to have Reed
  Hastings, Netflix's founder and former CEO, respond to a subpoena for
  documents that plaintiffs claim are relevant to the case. The original
  complaint filed in December 2020 [ [PDF]] doesn't mention Netflix
  beyond stating that Facebook “secretly signed Whitelist and Data
  sharing agreements” with Netflix, along with “dozens” of other
  third-party app developers. The case is still ongoing.
  
  [...] The litigation claims the companies formed a lucrative business
  relationship that included Facebook allegedly giving Netflix access to
  Facebook users' private messages:

        By 2013, Netflix had begun entering into a series of
        “Facebook Extended API” agreements, including a so-called
        “Inbox API” agreement that allowed Netflix programmatic
        access to Facebook's users' private message inboxes, in
        exchange for which Netflix would “provide to FB a written
        report every two weeks that shows daily counts of
        recommendation sends and recipient clicks by interface,
        initiation surface, and/or implementation variant (e.g.,
        Facebook vs. non-Facebook recommendation recipients). … In
        August 2013, Facebook provided Netflix with access to its
        so-called “Titan API,” a private API that allowed a
        whitelisted partner to access, among other things,
        Facebook users' “messaging app and non-app friends."

  Meta [said] it rolled out end-to-end encryption "for all personal
  chats and calls on Messenger and Facebook" in December. And in 2018,
  Facebook [told Vox] that it doesn't use private messages for ad
  targeting. But a few months later, The New York Times, citing
  "hundreds of pages of Facebook documents," [reported that] Facebook
  "gave Netflix and Spotify the ability to read Facebook users' private
  messages." Facebook has [denied] that it let third-party companies
  view its users' private messages

  When reached for comment, a Meta spokesperson declined to comment on
  specific questions, including why Meta ended Facebook Watch. However,
  the company rep again denied claims that Facebook let Netflix read its
  users' private messages. The spokesperson said Facebook's agreement
  with Netflix only "allowed people to message their friends on Facebook
  about what they were watching on Netflix, directly from the Netflix
  app" and that Meta's "confident the facts will show this complaint is
  meritless."

Facebook's streaming ambitions
════════════════════════════════
  
  [...] But Facebook Watch never really took off as a full-fledged
  TV/movie streaming effort à la Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. And in
  2023, efforts essentially ended when Facebook [said] it wasn't
  renewing any Watch shows [...] it seemed plausible that Facebook
  simply thought it couldn't compete in streaming. At the time, Meta
  said it was going to focus on making VR experiences instead.

  [...] The plaintiffs also claimed that after Facebook was confident
  about having enough budget to license the likes of /Dawson's Creek/
  "in competition with Netflix" in 2018, the Watch budget was
  mysteriously and suddenly slashed by $750 million that same
  year. Zuckerberg allegedly said via email in May 2018 that the budget
  changes were based on "knowing what I know today about our strategy
  and financial outlook."

  The letter alleges:

        Despite… protestations, Zuckerberg's abrupt new Watch
        strategy became policy—Facebook began dismantling the
        multi-billion dollar original content business it had
        built over the past two years… Amidst the sudden pivot in
        Facebook's video strategy, the data partnership between
        Netflix and Facebook reached new heights.

  Those new heights included, per the litigation, a new data-sharing
  agreement in July 2018 and Netflix reaching $200 million in
  advertising spend with Meta by 2019.

Vedremo che fine farà questa causa.

Intanto è sempre più chiaro in cosa consise il "mercato dei fatti
vostri" a cui stiamo assistendo

Saluti, 380°
