| WeChat has been censoring keywords about coronavirus, study finds Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:12 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge China's most popular messaging app, Tencent-owned WeChat, has been censoring keywords about coronavirus since as early as January 1st, an analysis found. Popular Chinese livestreaming platform YY has been censoring coronavirus content, too. To make this determination, the research group Citizen Lab scripted group chat conversations and sent them to three test WeChat accounts, two in Canada and one in China. The chat conversations consisted of article headlines and text. The group, which is affiliated with the University of Toronto, sent them from one of the Canadian WeChat accounts to the Chinese one, and observed which messages the Chinese account got. 132 keyword combinations were censored in January, but that number rose to 516... |
| Pinterest now showing custom search results for coronavirus to combat misinformation Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:04 PM PST  Pinterest is introducing a "custom search experience" when you seek out information about the coronavirus on its platform, as a way to "connect Pinners with facts and myth-bust what's not true with authoritative information from the [World Health Organization]," the company tells The Verge. I searched "coronavirus" and "COVID-19" (the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus) on Pinterest and was taken to the following page, which has curated content from the WHO about how to protect yourself and others from getting sick, how to wash your hands, when to use a mask, and more. Pinterest recommends following the verified WHO Pinterest account to see new information about health or wellness that it pins. The... |
| The most disturbing video game cosmetic is this Call of Duty Tamagotchi that feeds off your kills Posted: 03 Mar 2020 04:51 PM PST  Image: Activision Players of Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are getting perhaps the most tonally jarring cosmetic option in the history of shooting games with the introduction of the "Tomogunchi," a parody of the iconic Japanese digital pet watches launched back in 1996. Similar to Bandai's original Tamagotchi, these in-game wristwatches feature a virtual pet that hatches from an egg — the screenshots show a cat, a panda, and what looks like a dragon. You then have to take care of the creature, or else it may end up perishing due to neglect. You can feed it, keep tabs on its emotional state, and even help it grow and eventually evolve. The dark comedy here is that all of this has to be done not on a physical product, but on a virtual version... |

| Panic buying of masks puts health care workers’ ‘lives at risk,’ WHO says Posted: 03 Mar 2020 02:57 PM PST  A doctor wearing a mask while working at El Alto International Airport in Bolivia. | Photo by AIZAR RALDES/AFP via Getty Images A shortage of masks, gloves, and other protective gear "is putting lives at risk from the new coronavirus and other infectious diseases" warned the World Health Organization (WHO) in a statement on Tuesday. A frightened public has been buying up masks and other equipment, leaving limited supplies for health care workers who need the gear the most. Masks can be useful for people who are sick with a respiratory virus to keep them from spreading the illness to others. They are most useful for health care workers who come face to face with disease every day. Health experts, including those at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), do not currently recommend that people who are well wear masks as protection against diseases... |
| Facebook is shifting its Libra cryptocurrency plans after intense regulatory pressure Posted: 03 Mar 2020 02:54 PM PST  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge Facebook is altering its plans for its Libra cryptocurrency project following months of severe regulatory pressure and political pushback, according to a new report from The Information published on Tuesday. According to the report, Facebook no longer intends to make the Libra token — the actual blockchain-based cryptocurrency it's in the process of developing in partnership with the nonprofit Libra Association — the centerpiece of its digital payments strategy. Instead, Facebook's Libra project will reportedly transition to supporting both existing government-backed currencies, like the US dollar and the euro, and the Libra token when it is eventually completed and ready to launch. Additionally, The Information says Facebook is... |
