Technology website Gizmodo.com said it will publish the Facebook internal documents leaked by whistleblower Frances Haugen, a former product manager for the company.

The site, which said it is the first news outlet to commit to publishing the internal research and other documents said it got them from a member of Congress — they were leaked to members of the Senate Commerce Committee.

It describes the documents as “stacks of documents containing thousands of confidential memos, chat logs and a veritable library of hidden research.”

“We believe there’s a strong public need in making as many of the documents public as possible, as quickly as possible,” Gizmodo said. “To that end, we’ve partnered with a small group of independent monitors, who are joining us to establish guidelines for an accountable review of the documents prior to publication.” 

Those monitors are from New York University, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Columbia University, Marquette University and the American Civil Liberties Union, among other organizations.

The documents will be released in batches, with the first batch coming “as soon as possible,” Gizmodo said. The first tranche of documents will likely be primarily ones that require the least amount of vetting by its experts, given its goal of “minimiz[ing] any costs to individuals’ privacy or the furtherance of other harms while ensuring the responsible disclosure of the greatest amount of information in the public interest,” the site said.

The leak and Haugen’s testimony have led to more calls for regulating Big Tech and an investigation by state attorneys general. ■

Spanish-language broadcaster Univision Communications, two years after buying struggling online media properties Gizmodo Media Group and satirical online publisher The Onion, said it is exploring the sale of both.

Univision said the sale would allow it to focus on its core assets and strengthen its position as a leading broadcaster for the U.S. Hispanic community.

Gizmodo Media Group includes online sites Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Splinter, The Root, Kotaku, Earther and Jalopnik. The Onion portfolio includes The Onion, Clickhole, The A.V. Club and The Takeout.

Univision tried to sell a 20% interest in the publishing unit last year for $200 million, but had no takers.

The news is just another in a series of shakeups at Univision over the past several months. On March 6 it said it would shelve plans for an initial public offering and a day later said CEO Randy Falco would retire.

Reports over the past few weeks have said that Univision was contemplating a sale of Fusion Media Group, the unit that includes Gizmodo Media, The Onion and television properties Fusion TV, El Rey and websites for its Univision television channel – Univision.com and Fusion.net. According to Univision, the TV assets will not be included in any sale.

Univision has struggled to monetize the Gizmodo sites, and according to reports, staffers were recently pressured into taking buyouts to avoid heavier layoffs. 

Univision purchased the publishing properties in 2016, shortly after their parent – Gawker Media – declared bankruptcy after losing a $140 million libel suit against professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. Hogan had sued – with the financial backing of PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel – after the Gawker site published excerpts from a sex tape of Hogan and the wife of his friend, shock-jock Bubba The Love Sponge.

Univision said it has engaged Morgan Stanley as an advisor for the process, adding that there is no guarantee a deal will be reached.
