“Screams Before Silence,” a documentary from Israeli production company Kastina Communications (“Fauda”), begins with a note that viewer discretion is advised. As trigger warnings go, this one is exceptionally understated. Though the film runs just 60 minutes, it’s often so challenging to watch that it seems to last twice as long.
To be clear, that’s not a criticism of the work itself — director Anat Stalinsky has done an immensely powerful job bringing us back to the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, which ignited the region’s still-raging war.
Stalinsky’s particular and unapologetically narrow focus is on Hamas’ use of sexual violence as a tool of combat. She starts by taking us into burned-out homes, which are shot by cinematographer Sasha Gavrikov with an eerie, devastatingly stark beauty that resembles nothing so much as a horror film — which is, in its way, what this is. Note that any review...

A newly unsealed document in a potential class-action lawsuit alleges that Facebook shut down Facebook Watch to keep Netflix among its top advertisers — and to keep ads for Netflix series and films off of emerging competitors like Snapchat, a person with knowledge of the lawsuit tells IndieWire. And along the way, the two traded lots and lots of your data — allegedly.
The suit, filed by attorney Brian J. Dunne on behalf of other Facebook advertisers, seeks billions in damages. If they win at trial or settle, the exact dollar amount would come down to a percentage of Facebook’s overall advertising revenue from 2016-2019.
Before Facebook launched streaming-video platform Facebook Watch in August 2017, Netflix spent about $40 million per year on Facebook ads, per the letter from Dunne to a Judge Donato. Shortly after Mark Zuckerberg doomed Facebook Watch by decimating its budget in 2018, the spend increased to $150 million; two years later,...

BBC Storyville, Fulwell 73 label Bitachon 365 and MGM Television have boarded Israeli network Hot 8’s upcoming feature doc on the tragedy that befell the Supernova Music Festival on October 7.
Deadline revealed that Bad Boys studio Sipur was producing the doc several months ago and it has since been given the working title We Will Dance Again.
Helmed by The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes‘s Yariv Mozer, the doc offers new interviews and previously unseen exclusive footage of the tragic Supernova Music Festival massacre, which was the catalyst for the ongoing and horrific Israel-Gaza War. On that day, what began as a celebration of life, love and music for thousands of young people turned into the deadliest terror attack in Israel’s history by Hamas, and more than 200 people were kidnapped – many of whom have still not been returned.

Sheryl Sandberg Fronting Israeli Documentary About Sexual Atrocities Committed By Hamas On October 7
Exclusive: Sheryl Sandberg is fronting a documentary about sexual atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7.
The former COO of Meta and founder of LeanIn.org is presenting Screams Before Silence from Israeli doc maker Kastina Communications, which will focus on “women and girls who were raped, assaulted, and mutilated in a brutal rampage of gender-based violence.”
In the one-hour doc, which launches in April, Sandberg will interview released hostages and eyewitnesses to the terrifying October 7 Hamas attack at the Supernova Music Festival, the catalyst for a war that is still raging four months on.
Sandberg will also speak to first responders, and medical and forensic experts, as she tries to answer questions around why “many leading figures have attempted to minimize the attacks on women despite a whole wealth of evidence that they occurred.”

Today is the latest deadline for campaigns and committees to disclose donors, offering a glimpse at who is putting up huge sums in the 2024 elections, which may end up being the most expensive ever.
According to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is campaign co-chair of Joe Biden’s campaign, contributed $1 million to the Ff Pac, which is short for Future Forward, the main independent entity backing the president’s re-election bid. Future Forward made news this week when it announced plans to spend $250 million in an advertising blitz in battleground states. Money is being raised via the SuperPAC and a non profit, meaning some donors have to be disclosed and others do not.
Also contributing to Ff Pac was Sheryl Sandberg, the former Meta exective who recently announced that she was leaving the tech giant’s board. According to Fec records, she contributed $500,059 in...

He had worked at the company for more than eight years.
According to The New York Times, Carmack, 52, criticised his employer in an internal post written by him.
While Meta is in the process of transitioning from a social networking company to one focused on the metaverse, he said the company is running at “half its effectiveness” and has “a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort”.
“It has been a struggle for me. I have a voice at the highest levels here, so it feels like I should be able to move things, but I’m evidently not persuasive enough,” Carmack was quoted as saying.

San Francisco, Sep 1 (Ians) Hurt by falling revenue in its ad business after Apple iOS privacy changes on App Store, Meta is setting up a new team to identify and build more paid features for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
According to The Verge, the new division is Meta’s “first serious foray into building paid features across its main social apps”.
The group ‘New Monetisation Experiences’ will be headed by Pratiti Raychoudhury, former Meta’s head of research, the report said late on Wednesday.
The new monetisation drive is happening at Meta after the company reported loss in revenue in the June quarter for the first time since going public in 2007, predicting that growth in the third quarter could fall even more.
Facebook reported a 1 per cent drop in revenue to 28.8 billion, a 1 per cent decrease from 29.07 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
Overall, Meta’s profit fell 36 per cent to 6.7 billion in the quarter.

San Francisco, Aug 27 (Ians) In a relief for Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, the top Meta executives will not depose in a lawsuit about the Cambridge Analytica scandal, after the social network reached an out-of-court settlement with the plaintiffs.
The depositions were set to happen sometime before September 20 where Zuckerberg was to answer questions for up to six hours, while Sandberg could face up to five hours of deposition.
The deposition came as part of a lawsuit filed in a California court on behalf of Facebook users impacted by Meta’s partnership with Cambridge Analytica.
According to The Verge, Meta and the plaintiffs have now reached an agreement and requested a stay of 60 days to finalise their written agreement.
The lawsuit had alleged that Facebook illegally shared user data with third parties.
In the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook gained access to the private data of 67 million Facebook users, which was used to profile voters.

In an Instagram post, Sheryl, 52, shared a snap of herself and her new husband in a woodsy setting with the caption, "Married" with several red heart emojis.'' For the big day, the bride wore a cap-sleeve lace gown, while the groom wore a black suit and cowboy boots.

Outgoing Meta chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg married former NBC News producer Tom Bernthal on Saturday.
The pair, who got engaged in February 2020 after starting their relationship the year prior, appropriately took to Instagram to announce the news. They each posted the same photo of themselves holding hands in the woods, with Sandberg succinctly captioning it, “Married,” adding a string of heart emojis.
Bernthal, the founder of consulting firm Kelton Global and brother to actor Jon Bernthal, included a lengthier caption in his post. His message alluded to the 2015 death of Sandberg’s previous husband, former Yahoo executive Dave Sandberg, in addition to his own divorce.
“After both experiencing loss, @sherylsandberg and I weren’t sure we would ever find love again,” Bernthal wrote. “Over the last three years, we’ve merged our lives and blended our families. Our wedding today was a dream come true.

Sun Valley, Idaho — As the sun is about to set on another Sun Valley conference, this year’s four-day Allen & Co. event has been notable for the low profile kept by the most high-wattage attendees, to the frustration of the business, media and tech sectors obsessed with the activity of billionaires and CEOs.
Before the moguls pack up and leave the exclusive Sun Valley Lodge — at least those who haven’t booked it to their private jets already, like Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav, who left Thursday night — Tesla boss and maybe-soon-to-be-Twitter-owner Elon Musk (who snuck in through the back entrance Thursday evening) will take the stage for the gathering’s big closing chat Saturday. That coveted slot has previously been given to other high-profile guests of honor, including Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, both of whom were back in attendance this year.

Sun Valley, Idaho — The Elon Musk watch is on.
The first full day of Allen & Co.’s exclusive conference and retreat for the wealthy and well-connected concluded Wednesday at the luxe Sun Valley resort. Even among the assembled 1-ers, there was anticipation for the arrival of the maverick leader of Tesla and SpaceX, who is expected to make an appearance at the annual meeting of moguls and C-suite titans.
Following Tuesday’s many arrivals and some solo morning time, during which Verizon chief Hans Vestberg went for a run around the resort in the 6 a.m. hour, the agenda kicked off with an outdoor breakfast held for the business, media and tech moguls and their guests in a shaded area behind the lodge.
After the catered affair, the day was filled with private meetings and well-guarded guest speaker sessions, which usually focus on heady global economic and public policy topics.

Right off the bat on Friday’s episode of “Real Time,” Bill Maher and his panel guests talked about the horrific Uvalde, Texas elementary school massacre of 19 children and 2 teachers by a gunman with an Ar-15. And of course they had to touch on the astonishing cowardice displayed by local cops, who Maher said “should have trouble sleeping.”
You can watch the whole discussion above.
By now you know what happened, but just so no one forgets: After the massacre, law enforcement officials and the Governor of Texas spun stories of bravery and heroism. It turns out all of that was lies.
Since the massacre, police have changed their account at least 13 times, and every new excuse they’ve trotted out has later been proven false. But what is clear is that for more than an hour, Uvalde police refused to confront the shooter, detained and harassed parents who begged them to save their kids,...

The Wall St. Journal is reporting that Meta Platforms COO Sheryl Sandberg may have been prompted in part to give up her position because of a company investigation into her activities, including a review of her use of corporate resources to help plan her upcoming wedding.
As of May, the review was ongoing, the WSJ said. The investigation is also looking into allegations that Sandberg pressured the U.K.’s Daily Mail to “shelve” an article about Sandberg’s former boyfriend, Activision Blizzard Inc. CEO Bobby Kotick, and a 2014 temporary restraining order against him.
“None of this has anything to do with her personal decision to leave,” said Caroline Nolan, a Meta spokeswoman, to the WSJ. She earlier said that the Kotick matter had been resolved.
The WSJ story also allowed that Sandberg has been “telling people that she feels burned out and that she has become a punching bag for the company’s problems.

She leaned in, and now Sheryl Sandberg is moving out. The Facebook COO announced on June 1 that she will be leaving Meta—the platform's parent company—after 14 years. In a statement, Sandberg said it had been an "honor and privilege of a lifetime" to work with founder Mark Zuckerberg. "Mark is a true visionary and a caring leader," she wrote on her Facebook page.

Sheryl Sandberg is stepping down as chief operating officer at Meta Platforms in the midst of a tumultuous time at the company formerly known as Facebook. She will continue to serve on the board of directors.
The company’s chief growth officer, Javier Olivan, will take over as COO after a transition period. But Mark Zuckerberg said his role will be less sweeping. “I don’t plan to replace Sheryl’s role in our existing structure. I’m not sure that would be possible since she’s a superstar who defined the COO role in her own unique way. But even if it were possible, I think Meta has reached the point where it makes sense for our product and business groups to be more closely integrated, rather than having all the business and operations functions organized separately from our products,” he said in a Facebook post.

Katrina Lenk huddles over a cup of coffee on one of those makeshift sidewalk eating areas that have become a staple of New York City pandemic life. It’s chilly afternoon, but the actor, who recently recovered from a bout of Covid that forced her to miss several performances of the Broadway revival of “Company,” isn’t taking any chances. She’d prefer we meet outside, a concession to the stringent protocols that are in place to try (and often fail) to keep shows like “Company” free from the virus.
But Lenk isn’t shivering outside a Le Pain Quotidien in order to talk up her latest stage success. Rather, she’s here to dish on her role on “Ozark” as Claire Shaw, a morally compromised pharmaceutical CEO. On the Netflix series, Shaw becomes drawn into the orbit of Marty and Wendy Byrde, the money laundering couple at the center of the show.

“Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber” is the first season of a Showtime anthology series from the “Billions” team of Brian Koppelman, Beth Schacter and David Levien. As you can probably figure out from the subtitle, Season 1 follows the story of ride-share company Uber and its co-founder/former CEO Travis Kalanick (played on the show by Joseph Gordon-Levitt). And if you haven’t read Mike Isaac’s book, also titled “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” about the entire ordeal, you probably have no idea what that first part means. We’re here to help.
The notion of being “Super Pumped” is verbally spoken several times in Season 1 by Jgl’s Kalanick, and the term was also one of Kalanick’s real 14 core values for his app-based taxi cab-replacement service. So it makes enough sense for Season 1 of the TV show. But it would make exactly zero sense for the already-ordered second season,...
