| Facebook moves to limit spread of extremist ‘boogaloo’ pages and groups Posted: 05 Jun 2020 05:03 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook is limiting the spread of pages and groups linked with the word "boogaloo," an internet slang term used in some far-right extremist circles to refer to the idea of an impending second American Civil War, as first reported by Reuters. The boogaloo term has since evolved into a disjointed anti-government movement with various and at times conflicting views. Facebook says it will no longer recommend boogaloo pages and groups to users and is demoting them in search results, Facebook tells The Verge. The change was made on June 2nd. On May 1st, Facebook updated its Violence and Incitement policy to ban boogaloo and similar terms when used with images or statements depicting armed violence. On Thursday, the FBI arrested three men in... |
| Jeff Bezos says ‘black lives matter’ in response to angry customer email Posted: 05 Jun 2020 04:50 PM PDT  Photo by Elif Ozturk/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos issued a public pledge of support to the Black Lives Matter movement on Friday. The chief executive did so in reply to a customer email criticizing his company's response to the death of George Floyd and ongoing protests around the country against racism and systemic police brutality. Bezos posted his reply publicly on Instagram. Right now, Amazon.com has a prominent "Black Lives Matter" banner at the top of the page that links to a blog post describing actions the company is taking to support black communities and racial justice. The customer took issue with the banner, saying "it is quite disturbing to get on the AMAZON website and see 'BLACK LIVES MATTER.'" The customer later said that "ALL LIVES MATTER," a... |
| Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will ‘review’ policies on speech promoting state violence Posted: 05 Jun 2020 04:28 PM PDT  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a lengthy statement on his personal page on Friday saying he supports the Black Lives Matter movement and will begin engaging in a series of reviews of company policy. Specifically, Zuckerberg says he and company leadership will review its controversial stance around "threats of state use of force," following President Donald Trump's statement about shooting protesters that sparked outrage and various levels of response from both Facebook and Twitter. The post largely repeated points Zuckerberg made in an all-hands meeting earlier this week, the details of which were reported in The Verge. "We're going to review our policies allowing discussion and threats of state use of force to see if there are... |

| How to hide faces and scrub metadata when you photograph a protest Posted: 05 Jun 2020 02:15 PM PDT  A protester takes a photo with her phone in Martin Place during a 'Black Lives Matter' rally on June 02, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. The event was organized to rally against aboriginal deaths in custody in Australia as well as in solidarity with protests across the United States following the killing of an unarmed black man George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. | Photo by Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images While showing up at a protest can demonstrate your opinion to the world, you may not want your face — or the faces of other protesters — to be included, especially when there is the possibility that authorities will collect and use that information (as they have for tracking movements during COVID-19 social distancing). As a result, many consider it vital to obscure the faces of people in any photos you may post on social media and other online sources. (For additional information, here's a toolkit produced by the Authority Collective, offering information and advice on this subject.) What follows are some strategies for removing facial features from your photos. Of course, you can open up your images on a desktop or laptop using... |
| The Premier League is returning with virtual crowd noise from FIFA games Posted: 05 Jun 2020 02:00 PM PDT  Harriet Lander/Copa/Getty Images The English Premier league is set to restart in the coming weeks, and Sky Sports is working with EA Sports' FIFA division to create simulated chants and crowd noises designed for specific teams. The goal is to replicate "the vibrant atmosphere of Premier League clashes," according to a press release. While some sports leagues are beginning to pick up seasons suddenly paused by the global coronavirus pandemic, safety precautions means teams play in empty stadiums. Sky Sports viewers can choose to watch the channel either with the added sound effect or without. Watching live sports without the constant background cheering is a bizarre experience. Anecdotally, I watched a recent soccer game out of the German Bundesliga league that was p... |
| Big tech companies are responding to George Floyd in a way they never did for Michael Brown Posted: 05 Jun 2020 01:43 PM PDT  Photo illustration by William Joel | Photography by Michael B. Thomas/AFP via Getty Images, Stephen Maturen/Getty Images This week, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and their peers put out statements of solidarity against racial injustice. Let's revisit their stunning silence six years ago. |
| Yelp is adding a new tool to easily search for black-owned businesses Posted: 05 Jun 2020 01:33 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Yelp is launching a new tool to allow businesses on the platform to identify themselves as black-owned, CEO Jeremy Stoppelman announced in a blog post Thursday. Customers will be able to search the Yelp app for black-owned businesses they want to support. Over the last week, Yelp says it saw a huge increase in the searches on the app for black-owned companies across various industries. The company also said that it is donating $500,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Yelp will also double its match of donations from employees who contribute money to select organizations that are either black-led or black-serving, including Black Futures Lab and Know Your Rights Camp through June. Yelp will also provide... |
| Instacart tweaks tipping system after tip-baiting outcry Posted: 05 Jun 2020 12:00 PM PDT  Photo by Evelyn Hockstein/For The Washington Post via Getty Images Instacart is adjusting how it handles customer tips following the announcement last week of a congressional inquiry into the practice of tip-baiting, in which Instacart allows customers to promise big tips for shoppers only for those customers to later rescind the tip after the order is dropped off. Instacart now says it will shorten the window a customer can alter their tip from three days down to 24 hours. It's also now requiring customers leave feedback for removing tips and pledging to deactivate any customer who "consistently and egregiously engages in this type of behavior." The company claims "only 0.25 percent of orders had a tip adjusted after 24 hours," and that, "less than 0.5 percent of orders have tips removed after... |
| Nio’s future depends more on the Chinese government than ever Posted: 05 Jun 2020 11:37 AM PDT  Photo by Sean O'Kane / The Vergee Chinese EV startup Nio announced its first-quarter results last week and, by most accounts, the Tencent-backed company appears to have weathered the impact of COVID-19. That argument was further bolstered on Thursday when Nio released strong May delivery figures. But Nio also recently finalized a crucially-timed $1 billion bailout from a local government in China, and the price the company had to pay to survive is becoming increasingly apparent. Now Nio — which is billed as an independent startup with ambitions to sell cars in Europe and the US, and even has offices in London, Munich, and Silicon Valley — is more anchored to the whims of the Chinese government than before. And owners of Nio shares that trade on the New York Stock... |
