Here are some web trends for 2020:
Responsive web design in 2020 should be a given because every serious project that you create should look good and be completely usable on all devices. But there’s no need to over-complicate things.
Web Development in 2020: What Coding Tools You Should Learn article gives an overview of recommendations what you learn to become a web developer in 2020.
You might have seen Web 3.0 on some slides. What is the definition of web 3 we are talking about here?
There seems to be many different to choose from… Some claim that you need to blockchain the cloud IOT otherwise you’ll just get a stack overflow in the mainframe but I don’t agree on that.
Information on the web address bar will be reduced on some web browsers. With the release of Chrome 79, Google completes its goal of erasing www from the browser by no longer allowing Chrome users to automatically show the www trivial subdomain in the address bar.
You still should target to build quality web site and avoid the signs of a low-quality web site. Get good inspiration for your web site design.
Still a clear and logical structure is the first thing that needs to be turned over in mind before the work on the website gears up. The website structure for search robots is its internal links. The more links go to a page, the higher its priority within the website, and the more times the search engine crawls it.
You should upgrade your web site, but you need to do it sensibly and well. Remember that a site upgrade can ruin your search engine visibility if you do it badly. The biggest risk to your site getting free search engine visibility is site redesign. Bad technology selection can ruin the visibility of a new site months before launch. Many new sites built on JavaScript application frameworks do not benefit in any way from the new technologies. Before you go into this bandwagon, you should think critically about whether your site will benefit from the dynamic capabilities of these technologies more than they can damage your search engine visibility. Well built redirects can help you keep the most outbound links after site changes.
If you go to the JavaScript framework route on your web site, keep in mind that there are many to choose, and you need to choose carefully to find one that fits for your needs and is actively developed also in the future.
JavaScript survey: Devs love a bit of React, but Angular and Cordova declining. And you’re not alone… a chunk of pros also feel JS is ‘overly complex’
Keep in mind the recent changes on the video players and Google analytics. And for animated content keep in mind that GIF animations exists still as a potential tool to use.
Keep in mind the the security. There is a skill gap in security for many. I’m not going to say anything that anyone who runs a public-facing web server doesn’t already know: the majority of these automated blind requests are for WordPress directories and files. PHP exploits are a distant second. And there are many other things that are automatically attacked. Test your site with security scanners.
APIs now account for 40% of the attack surface for all web-enabled apps. OWASP has identified 10 areas where enterprises can lower that risk. There are many vulnerability scanning tools available. Check also How to prepare and use Docker for web pentest . Mozilla has a nice on-line tool for web site security scanning.
The slow death of Flash continues. If you still use Flash, say goodbye to it. Google says goodbye to Flash, will stop indexing Flash content in search.
Use HTTPS on your site because without it your site rating will drop on search engines visibility. It is nowadays easy to get HTTPS certificates.
Write good content and avoid publishing fake news on your site. Finland is winning the war on fake news. What it’s learned may be crucial to Western democracy,
Think to who you are aiming to your business web site to. Analyze who is your “true visitor” or “power user”. A true visitor is a visitor to a website who shows a genuine interest in the content of the site. True visitors are the people who should get more of your site and have the potential to increase the sales and impact of your business. The content that your business offers is intended to attract visitors who are interested in it. When they show their interest, they are also very likely to be the target group of the company.
Should you think of your content management system (CMS) choice? Flexibility, efficiency, better content creation: these are just some of the promised benefits of a new CMS. Here is How to convince your developers to change CMS.
Here are some fun for the end:

Falsification and eavesdropping of contents across multiple websites
via Web Rehosting services
https://jvn.jp/en/ta/JVNTA96129397/
Researchers at NTT Secure Platform Laboratories and Waseda University
have identified multiple security issues that lead to content being
tampered with and eavesdropped on a service called Web Rehosting.
These issues have been published in NDSS 2020. “Web Rehosting” is the
name of a group of web services proposed in this study, which has the
function of retrieving content from a user-specified website and
hosting it again on its server.. If a web rehosting service does not
take measures against the attacks listed in this advisory, there is a
risk that some of the browser resources of users may be manipulated by
an attacker, resulting in a security and privacy violation.

Google lobbies Australian users against plans to make it pay for news
‘We need to let you know about new Government regulation’
https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/17/21371709/google-australia-paying-for-news-lobbying-media-ads-search-market
Google has published an open letter about a newly proposed government regulation that would compel it to pay media outlets for news content. Australians visiting their local Google homepage are presented with an ominous pop-up which warns that “the way Aussies use Google is at risk” and “their search experience will be hurt by new regulation.” It’s a bold lobbying move that puts Google’s arguments against the change in front of millions of Australians.
Australia’s consumer watchdog pushed back, saying the letter “contains misinformation,” adding that “a healthy news media sector is essential to a well-functioning democracy.”
Australia’s proposed News Media Bargaining Code law, which is currently in draft and targets Facebook alongside Google, follows a 2019 inquiry in Australia that found the tech giant to be taking a disproportionately large share of online advertising revenue, even though much of their content came from media organizations.

The clock is ticking. Microsoft has warned customers its services won’t be supported on the veteran browser within the year.
To be fair to the Windows giant, it has been making determined efforts to kill off the former leading browser for some time now, telling customers it was merely a compatibility solution before sticking the knife in a little deeper earlier this year.
Yesterday the company announced that it would be pulling support for the browser from Microsoft 365 apps and services (including the likes of Sharepoint) by this time next year. The lights will be turned off for some components even earlier – the Teams web app will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 from 30 November 2020.

Facebook Users Viewed Health-Related Misinformation Nearly 500 Million Times In Just One Month, Report Finds

Websites spreading health-related misinformation generated over 3.8 billion views on Facebook over the last one year, with numbers peaking at 460 million views in April as the coronavirus pandemic spread across the world, a report on Facebook’s handling of health-related content found.
Tomi Engdahl says:
Reacting to the report, a Facebook spokesperson told The Guardian, “We share Avaaz’s goal of limiting misinformation, but their findings don’t reflect the steps we’ve taken to keep it from spreading on our services. Thanks to our global network of fact-checkers, from April to June, we applied warning labels to 98 million pieces of Covid-19 misinformation and removed 7mpieces of content that could lead to imminent harm. We’ve directed over 2 billion people to resources from health authorities and when someone tries to share a link about Covid-19, we show them a pop-up to connect them with credible health information.”

Avaaz: Facebook’s algorithm drove 3.8 billion views of health misinformation
https://venturebeat.com/2020/08/19/avaaz-facebooks-algorithm-drove-3-8-billion-views-of-health-misinformation/
Despite Facebook’s efforts to combat fake news and propaganda, the social network has enabled 3.8 billion views of health misinformation in the past year, according to a new report from Avaaz. The global citizens’ movement that monitors election freedom and disinformation said websites containing such misinformation received almost 4 times as many views as sites by certified health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Earlier this year, Facebook partnered with such organizations to drive users toward reliable information and weed out disinformation related to COVID-19. While these efforts may have had some impact, Avaaz found that overall misinformation related to health issues received 460 million views in April 2020, and 3.8 billion over the past year.

Finnish software company tietoEVRY have created what they hope is a helpful tool, a font that smooths over the worst abuses.
Known as The Polite Type, the secret to tietoEVRY’s project is not the soothing shape of its letters, although the designers hope people will appreciate those as well. Rather it works like a writing assistance program to turn abusive messages into something more gentle. Anyone using The Polite Type to write “I hate you” will find their words changed to “I disagree with you.” Similarly, words associated with hate speech such as racism or sexism will be swapped with a less loaded alternative or blurred out where none is suitable.

This threatens to change the Web from a hyperlinked collection of resources (that can be audited, selectively fetched, or even replaced), to opaque all-or-nothing “blobs” (like PDFs or SWFs). Organizations, users, researchers and regulators who believe in an open, user-serving, transparent Web should oppose this standard…

Facebook updates its terms of service globally, effective Oct. 1, allowing it to block content amid proposed Australian law that would force it to pay for news
Facebook Says It Can Block Content to Avoid Regulatory Risk
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-01/facebook-says-it-can-block-content-to-contain-business-risks
Facebook Inc. on Tuesday told users it can take down or block any content that could increase regulatory or legal risks for the social media giant around the world — even if the content itself isn’t illegal.
The broad language of a global change to its terms of service, which takes effect Oct. 1, gives the U.S. giant room to do whatever it deems necessary to maintain its business objectives in a shifting regulatory environment.
Facebook said the change allows it to block people and publishers in Australia from sharing news, pushing back against a proposed law forcing the company to pay media firms for their articles. But a company spokesperson said the tweak applies globally.
“We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook,” the smartphone notification sent to users Tuesday read.

In the first part of this series, we took a look at how bookmarklets can be used to add small behaviours in web apps to automate repetitive tasks. Unfortunately, for many use cases, bookmarklets fall short because of their technical limitations. In those cases, it is good to consider a web extension.
Web extensions are the more powerful family member of bookmarklets – they can do nearly anything in a web browser on behalf of the user: inspecting and injecting web content on any page, communicating with APIs, integrating with browser menus. They can even run special background tasks such as intercepting and modifying web requests. Moreover, they are much nicer to develop than bookmarklets with an ecosystem of (almost) standardised Web Extension APIs.
In this blog, we look at the potential of web extensions to automate or integrate web-based workflows for digital sales- or marketing teams, and thereby provide time savings.

Facebook Will Block New Political Ads In The Week Before Election Day

Facebook will block all new political ads during the week leading up to Election Day on November 3, and remove any posts that spread misinformation or try to suppress voting, the company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Thursday, in a departure from his previous insistence on not banning political ads.
Facebook will also label posts where “a candidate or campaign tries to declare victory before the results are in”, Zuckerberg wrote, a move that is likely meant to address fears of President Donald Trump trying to claim victory after early results show him leading, and before mail-in votes are counted.
Zuckerberg said that the company will block all new political and issue ads during the final week of the campaign, but advertisers will be able to continue running ads that started running before the final week.

Randi Zuckerberg – What She Learned on the Front Lines of Social Media
by: Mike Sturm
https://www.nbforum.com/newsroom/blog/randi-zuckerberg-front-lines-of-social-media/
Randi Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, began her marketing career at a time when the term digital marketing was new. Her brother’s startup The Facebook completely changed the face of digital marketing and paved the way for Zuckerberg’s innovative, entrepreneurial career. Her main message throughout her talk was how anyone can become an innovator and be bold, and how important it is to try out new ideas—even at the risk of failure. Throughout her career, she hoped to inspire women to go into technology and business, and leave behind a responsible legacy to her children.
If we’re all a media company, who is the audience?
Creating a personal brand is central to how we market ourselves as media companies. Zuckerberg provided a few guidelines to help make and market a personal brand:
Be nice when talking about yourself.
Be authentic.
Your three most memorable traits.
Your three most valuable professional skills.
To create unique branding, she advised combining your most memorable traits and your most valuable professional skills into a single sentence. For example, the Internet phenom Goldie Chan presents herself as the “green-haired Oprah of LinkedIn.” Her friend Michael is “your Zen business sherpa.” Meanwhile, Zuckerberg described herself as “your professional mom,” as she helps people compassionately navigate their careers.

Facebook will not act against anti-vaxxer posts from its platform the way did against Covid-19 related misinformation, Mark Zuckerberg told Axios on HBO in an interview in which he defended the social media platforms against allegations of right-wing bias.
Tomi Engdahl says:
Mark Zuckerberg has expressed his hope that his creation, Facebook, won’t ultimately destroy society as we know it. Speaking to Axios on HBO in an interview published Wednesday, Zuckerberg was asked if he was at all concerned that history will remember Facebook as an accelerant of social destruction. He reportedly responded: “I have a little more confidence in democracy than that. And I hope my confidence isn’t misplaced.” Zuckerberg then added: “What we do, and I think a lot of what the internet does overall, is gives individuals more power.”

EFF to EU Commission on Article 17: Prioritize Users’ Rights, Let Go of Filters
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/eff-eu-commission-article-17-prioritize-users-rights-let-go-filters?fbclid=IwAR1s75rtJaJwiz-Xc6Ul5JJPwJwhZ-cpoh78_hiOOROLyX55IAGR-1vstj0
During the Article 17 (formerly #Article13) discussions about the availability of copyright-protected works online, we fought hand-in-hand with European civil society to avoid all communications being subjected to interception and arbitrary censorship by automated upload filters. However, by turning tech companies and online services operators into copyright police, the final version of the EU Copyright Directive failed to live up to the expectations of millions of affected users who fought for an Internet in which their speech is not automatically scanned, filtered, weighed, and measured.
Our Watch Has Not Ended
EU “Directives” are not automatically applicable. EU member states must “transpose” the directives into national law. The Copyright Directive includes some safeguards to prevent the restriction of fundamental free expression rights, ultimately requiring national governments to balance the rights of users and copyright holders alike. At the EU level, the Commission has launched a Stakeholder Dialogue to support the drafting of guidelines for the application of Article 17, which must be implemented in national laws by June 7, 2021.
During the stakeholder meetings, we made a strong case for preserving users’ rights to free speech, making suggestions for averting a race among service providers to over-block user content.
