Facebook plans to put the name of the winner of the US presidential election at the top of Facebook and Instagram once it's been projected by a majority of media outlets, the company says. The company also will label presidential candidates' posts with a link to its voting information center, according to Facebook spokesperson Tom Reynolds.

The company plans to "show the candidate's name in notifications at the top of Facebook and Instagram that say 'A Presidential Winner Has Been Projected — <name> is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election,'" Reynolds explained in an email to The Verge.

Facebook is seeing an increase in worrying activity around the US election, according to reports from The New York Times and BuzzFeed News. According to BuzzFeed News, which viewed a post on Facebook's internal message board, the company has been tracking a rise in "violence and incitement trends" associated with hashtags and keywords.

Facebook did not respond for comment about a potential rise in the organization of violent activity on its platform by the time of publication, but Facebook spokesperson Liz Bourgeois told BuzzFeed News that the company is "staying vigilant in detecting content that could incite violence during this time of heightened uncertainty." In a statement given to The Verge and others, Facebook said that the...

Apple will require apps to add privacy ‘nutrition labels’ starting December 8th

Apple debuted a collection of privacy features when it announced iOS 14, but the company's privacy "nutrition label" concept did not arrive with the launch of the new operating system in September. Today, Apple announced that developers will be required to provide the information for those "labels" starting December 8th.

Like a normal nutrition label that lists ingredients and caloric content, these privacy "labels" should give you a better idea of what's going on inside an app before you download it from the iOS App Store or Mac App Store. The labels will list what information an app collects, and present that visually on the app page, much like looking at the backs of labels in a grocery store.

TV networks cut away from Trump’s ‘most dishonest speech’ ever

Cable networks, broadcast networks and Twitter cut short their broadcasts of President Donald Trump's speech from the White House briefing room Thursday; some outlets fact-checked the president's unproven statements rather than carry them live.

Trump began his remarks by baselessly claiming that Democrats were committing "fraud" and trying to "steal" the election. "If you count the legal votes, I easily win," the president said, even though the counting of legal votes is still happening. There are several key states, including Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona, which are still tallying votes. Neither the president nor the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, has enough electoral college votes yet to win. Many of those...

Tesla’s Tequila exists, pricily

Posted: 05 Nov 2020 05:21 PM PST

Elon Musk has branched out from rockets and cars into booze — as Tesla has launched Tesla Tequila on its website today. If you have $250 burning a hole in your pocket, you can pick up your very own lightning-shaped bottle.

A screenshot of Tesla's website.

The original branding was Teslaquila, but that must have been jettisoned somewhere along the way. (Well, the idea did start as an April Fools' Day joke.) Orders are limited to two bottles, and only people in some states can receive them because of "industry regulations."

Facebook and TikTok have blocked hashtags that were being used to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories about the presidential election. The hashtags generally revolved around unfounded claims that Democrats are trying to manipulate the election to defeat President Trump.

On Facebook, the blocked hashtags include #stopthesteal, which has been broadly used to make unsubstantiated claims of election fraud by Democrats, and #sharpiegate, which incorrectly alleges that the use of Sharpie markers caused Trump votes to go uncounted in Arizona. TikTok blocked #sharpiegate, #stopthesteal, and the more general term #riggedelection. Both sets of blocked hashtags were spotted by TechCrunch.

Sizing up the iPhone 12 mini and 12 Pro Max

Posted: 05 Nov 2020 03:00 PM PST

The iPhone 12 mini (left) and iPhone 12 Max Pro (right).

Apple's iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are the "default" size iPhones this year. But Apple also has two more new devices: the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max. One is Apple's smallest iPhone in years — and the other is its biggest iPhone ever.

Here's a first look:

From left to right: the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

iPhone 12 mini

If you've seen the iPhone 12 already, it's basically that, but smaller. Same processor, same cameras, same design, same everything. But instead of a 6.1-inch screen, the iPhone mini has a 5.4-inch display.

But thanks to the iPhone X-style bezel-less design, the 12 mini is actually a physically smaller phone compared to the bezeled, 4.7-inch design that Apple has used on...

YouTube’s lax misinformation rules are letting election lies spread

Posted: 05 Nov 2020 02:50 PM PST

For people who stumbled their way onto One American News Network (OANN)'s YouTube channel over the last few days, it might be easy to think President Trump won the 2020 election.

Videos titled "Trump won. Dems try to pull a fast one" and "Trump Won. MSM hopes you don't believe your eyes," started appearing on OANN's YouTube channel on November 4th — one day after people cast their votes in the federal election. The videos are full of lies predicated on people's fears that would trigger moderation on another network, including:

"It appears that Trump won by such a large margin, now they're actually pumping out illegal ballots into the battleground states to actually beat him."

"They think that they can add 100,000 votes that no one gets...

Uber is ready to take its Prop 22 victory show on the road.

The ride-hail company celebrated its stunning win in California, where voters approved Proposition 22, a ballot measure that exempts gig economy companies from having to classify their workers as employees. In an earnings call with investors, Uber also outlined its plan to push for similar legislation at the national level.

"We feel strongly that this is the right approach," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Thursday. "We should be adding benefits to gig work to make it better, not getting rid of it altogether in favor of an employment only system."

Going forward, Uber plans to "loudly advocate" for more Prop-22 style legislation, and is making it a priority to "work with...
