TikTok has blocked several hashtags related to the QAnon conspiracy theory, but won't be removing the videos using the hashtags from its platform, the BBC reported. The video sharing app has blocked the terms "QAnon," "QAnonTruth" and the related phrase "Out of Shadows," which are used by QAnon believers.

But as the BBC reports, the QAnon videos themselves could still appear among TikTok's For You suggestions or in users' feeds, even if the hashtags are no longer visible.

TikTok did not immediately reply to a request for comment Saturday.

Other platforms have taken a harder stance against QAnon material; earlier this week Twitter announced it was banning 7,000 accounts, blocking QAnon-related links, and put restrictions on 150,000 more...

Apple manufacturer Foxconn has started building iPhone 11 units in a facility near Chennai in India, TechCrunch reported, the first time Apple has made one of its top-tier phones in that country.

Apple has manufactured lower-priced iPhone models in India since 2017, and reportedly has been considering moving production of its more premium models there for some time.

India was the second-biggest smartphone market in the world in 2019, ahead of the US and second only to China. According to TechCrunch, Apple plans to scale up production in India, which would in turn reduce how much it depends on China, where most of its iPhones are currently made. And while Apple tops the premium smartphone market in India, it has only about a 1 percent...

Elon Musk says his Twitter DMs are mostly for swapping memes

Posted: 25 Jul 2020 12:08 PM PDT

In a free-wheeling interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his Twitter direct messages are mostly made up of memes, and he isn't overly worried about them being hacked.

Musk's was one of more than 100 high-profile Twitter accounts compromised as part of a July 15th Bitcoin scam. The company has said the attackers may have downloaded the private direct messages and personal information of some people in the process, although Twitter said none of those were "verified" accounts, as Musk's is.

"I'm not that concerned about my DMs being made public," Musk told Dowd. "I mean, we can probably cherry pick some section of my DMs that sound bad out of context but overall my DMs mostly consist of swapping...

With Major League Baseball's season shortened to just 60 games this year, Amazon won't be broadcasting any New York Yankees games this season, Bloomberg reported.

Amazon was slated to stream 21 Yankees games beginning April 17th with several high-profile games —including three against the Boston Red Sox— on the list. Amazon Prime members in New York state, northeast Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and central New Jersey would have been able to stream all 21 games.

But the Yankees' YES Network has opted to keep those games for its channel, and MLB rules limit streaming games that are shown on regional sports networks like YES.

"Given the unique circumstances surrounding this season, YES Network will televise all New York Yankees games not...

A congressional hearing with the chief executives of Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple has been rescheduled for noon Eastern time on Wednesday. Originally scheduled for Monday, the hearing was bumped back a few days to allow members of Congress to pay respects to the late Rep. John Lewis, who died July 17th. Lewis will lie in state at the US Capitol next week.

The House Judiciary Committee hearing with Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai will focus on the various antitrust issues each CEO's company is dealing with. It's part of a yearlong investigation into the tech sector's anti-competitive behavior. The hearing will be conducted remotely to adhere to coronavirus social distancing guidelines. Twitter CEO Jack...

11 new trailers to watch this week

I spent last week burning through The Great, Hulu's new-ish series that has Elle Fanning playing a very fictionalized version of a young Catherine the Great. The first season is about Catherine (not yet the Great) preparing to overthrow her husband, the emperor, and take power, which is a pretty amazing conflict to center on.

The show is very reminiscent of The Favourite (it shares both a writer and a very identifiable shooting location), infusing this period drama with modern absurdity and some very over-the-top characters. Nicholas Hoult plays the amazingly pompous and bro-y emperor in a way that almost makes him feel like a tech CEO at times — at one point, he's even wearing what looks a lot like a hoodie.

I don't know if the show can...

On January 8th, I asked The Verge's science team to keep an eye on early reports of a new virus that had recently emerged in China. When I dropped an article about that new virus from The Washington Post in Slack, someone joked that 2020 was off to a strong start, clearly jinxing the entire year for the rest of humanity. Whoops.

Jokes aside, this past decade, year, six and a half months has featured a disturbing flood of terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news. More than half a year in and not only do we still not know when this will all end, we're also seeing a tsunami of new cases in the US and record-high hospitalizations.

There's so much we still don't know, but we do know that this is going to keep going for a long, long time....

In the latest instance of iOS 14's beta mode tattling on unexpected app behavior, some users reported that they were seeing the green "camera on" indicator while using Instagram when they were just scrolling through their feeds, not taking a photo or video.

An Instagram spokesperson said in an email to The Verge that the behavior was a bug and that it's being fixed. The app's Create Mode is accessible from the Instagram camera which could set off the camera indicator, and swiping into the app's...

How Fox Sports will use virtual fans created in Unreal Engine to fill empty stadiums in MLB broadcasts

Posted: 25 Jul 2020 06:00 AM PDT

Baseball is back. But the MLB will look a little different in the COVID-19 world, with empty stadiums full of silent cardboard cutouts instead of thousands of screaming fans in an effort to avoid spreading the virus. That is unless you're watching on Fox Sports. Starting this weekend, the network will not only be piping in fake fan audio, but it'll also be filling the stands with digitally rendered fans for its MLB broadcasts, starting with this Saturday's Yankees-Nationals game.

All 30 MLB teams will be relying on fake fan noise in the actual stadiums (sourced from Sony's MLB: The Show games), along with the usual in-stadium announcers, walk-up music, and other...
