| Twitter and TikTok reportedly have had talks about a deal Posted: 08 Aug 2020 04:08 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitter has had preliminary discussions about a "combination" with TikTok, the Wall Street Journal reported, making the social media platform the latest possible suitor for the popular video-sharing app. As the WSJ notes, it's not clear whether Twitter would pursue a possible acquisition of TikTok, and any such deal would have big obstacles. The biggest challenge to any deal is the Trump administration's executive order from August 6th, which bars TikTok parent company ByteDance from handling transactions in the US. The order takes effect within 45 days. The administration considers the Chinese-owned app a potential security threat, despite no evidence indicating ByteDance or TikTok has ever shared Americans' data with the Chinese... |
| TikTok lawsuit against Trump administration could come as early as Tuesday Posted: 08 Aug 2020 03:03 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge TikTok plans to sue the Trump administration over the president's executive order banning the app in the US, and the company may file the lawsuit as early as Tuesday, NPR reported. According to NPR, the lawsuit will argue the president's action is unconstitutional because TikTok did not have time to respond. The lawsuit also will allege that the president's justification for the ban— that the company is a threat to US national security— is baseless, NPR reported. Under the executive order the president signed Thursday, the US will block all transactions with TikTok parent company ByteDance within 45 days, in order to "address the national emergency with respect to the information and communication technology supply chain." "The United... |
| Twitter testing quote tweet counts, formerly known as retweets with comments Posted: 08 Aug 2020 02:00 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge In a move that may forever change what it means to be ratio'd, Twitter is testing some new language on tweet metrics, making quotes (also known as retweets with comments) visible on each tweet, the company confirmed Saturday. "A few months ago, we've made Retweets with Comments more visible when you tap to see Retweets on a Tweet," a Twitter spokesperson wrote in an email to The Verge. "This is available to everyone. Now, we're testing making Retweets with Comments accessible directly on the Tweet and new language (Quotes) to see if this makes them easier to access and more understandable." A Verge reader tipped us to the feature's new name, which lists the number of times a tweet is quoted alongside likes and retweets: In... |
| Kodak deal with US government to produce pharmaceuticals appears to be on hold Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:11 PM PDT  Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images An agreement between the US government and Kodak to develop generic drug ingredients appears to be on hold, after the US International Development Finance Corporation tweeted that "recent allegations of wrongdoing raise serious concerns." "We will not proceed any further unless these allegations are cleared," the agency tweeted, without specifying what the allegations were. Kodak said Friday it was conducting an internal review of recent activity by the company in connection with a $765 million loan it would receive under the Defense Production Act to produce pharmaceuticals. The company's stock price surged in the days before the deal was announced, CBS News reported, leading Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to call for the Securities and... |
| Facebook removes troll network posing as Black Trump supporters Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:42 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook removed dozens of accounts it says were part of a troll farm pretending to be African-Americans in support of President Donald Trump and QAnon supporters, the company said, for violating its policies against coordinated inauthentic behavior. According to a report on its July enforcement activity, Facebook removed 35 Facebook accounts, three pages and 88 Instagram accounts for "violating our policy against foreign interference, which is coordinated inauthentic behavior on behalf of a foreign entity." Activity by the pro-Trump network originated in Romania, Facebook said, and posted on Instagram using hashtags such as "BlackPeopleVoteForTrump." The pages had about 1,600 followers on Facebook, and about 7,200 people followed the... |
| TikTok discussions at the White House reportedly turned into a brawl between Trump advisors Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge President Trump's advisors got into a "knockdown, drag-out" fight in the Oval Office late last week during discussions about a TikTok ban, the Washington Post reported. Trade advisor Peter Navarro accused Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin of being soft on China, as Navarro pushed for an outright ban of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app, according to the Post, as Mnuchin had been arguing for a TikTok sale to a US company. Navarro told the Post in a statement that President Trump relies on "strong, often opposing views," when making decisions. "Because this is true, it is critical for a strong America that 'what happens in the Oval Office, should stay in the Oval Office' so I have no comment on what is clearly a malicious leak riddled... |
| How Trump’s WeChat ban could devastate Apple’s Chinese business Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:39 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge President Trump's executive order banning WeChat could have far-reaching consequences for almost the entire technology industry, thanks to the app's parent company, Tencent, having investments in companies like Riot Games and other US-based brands. But the ban could also have a big impact on Apple, which is deeply entrenched in China. Apple has a significant Chinese customer base, and nearly all of its critical manufacturing and assembly partners are based there. Trump's ban might not only force Apple to remove WeChat from its App Store — which would destroy Apple's Chinese smartphone business — it could existentially change how Apple is able to build and sell new products in the future. It's hard to emphasize the prominence of WeChat... |
| New Jersey prosecutor dismissing cyber-harassment case over tweeting cop’s photo Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:33 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge New Jersey's Essex County Prosecutor's Office is moving to dismiss the harassment charges against five people who tweeted or retweeted a police officer's photo. Asbury Park Press reported the news on Friday afternoon, quoting spokesperson Katherine Carter saying that "after reviewing the cases, we concluded there was insufficient evidence to sustain our burden of proof." The Nutley Police Department filed a criminal complaint in July against protester Kevin Alfaro, who tweeted a photograph of Detective Peter Sandomenico during a Nutley For Black Lives demonstration in June. Alfaro's tweet asked "if anyone knows who this bitch is throw his info under this tweet," something Sandomenico said caused him to fear for the safety of his family.... |
| Capital One ordered to pay $80 million penalty for its role in a 2019 data breach Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:12 AM PDT  Photo by JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images Capital One will pay an $80 million civil penalty for its role in a 2019 security breach that exposed the personal data of more than 100 million customers, The Wall Street Journal reported. In a scathing report on its investigation into the breach, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, part of the US Treasury. said Capital One was aware its security practices were woefully insufficient, and that the company's board of directors "failed to take effective actions to hold management accountable." The breach happened in March and April of 2019, but Capital One was apparently not aware of the problem until mid-July. That's when someone tipped the company to a public GitHub page where private Capital One data was available. That led... |
| An important part of science is admitting when we’re wrong Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:00 AM PDT  A volunteer gets a vaccine on August 7, 2020 | Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images This week started with a whole lot of people getting very angry about someone being wrong on the internet. This time, it was computer scientist Steven Salzberg, who wrote a blog post on Forbes arguing that people should start vaccinating now — phase 3 clinical trials had just started. They seemed to be going well. Why not start passing out doses to willing, informed volunteers? Well, a whole bunch of reasons, most of which boil down to some variation of that's what the trials are there for. The evidence that's needed to move something into the third level of human testing is pretty high — but not high enough to justify use on the broader population, as biostatistician Natalie Dean pointed out in a New York Times rebuttal of the Forbes p... |
