| Go read this look at how Clubhouse’s blocking system is problematic Posted: 15 May 2021 12:47 PM PDT  Anyone who's spent more than five minutes on social media can tell you that most platforms have plenty of trolls, reply-guys and other people who may just be unpleasant to interact with. On big platforms like Twitter, Faecbook, and Instagram, the option to block another user allows you to keep someone out of your feed. Blocking is far from a perfect solution, but at least it gives users a way to continue to use the platforms and avoid (some) nasty interactions. But as Will Oremus writes for The Atlantic, the year-old audio chat platform Clubhouse has a different mechanism for blocking, one that affects more than just the blocker and the blockee (I know, but what would you call it?):

Colonial carries 45 percent of the fuel supplies for the eastern United States.

| Facebook is reportedly continuing a ban on anti-coup groups in Myanmar Posted: 15 May 2021 09:00 AM PDT  Facebook has reportedly upheld a ban on many organizations in Myanmar that have joined forces to resist the military coup that occurred back in February, according to Rest of World. The bans were put in place back in 2019, when organizations like the Arakan Army, and many of its allies, were classified as terrorist organizations by the democratically-elected government. Things have changed in Myanmar since then. After the military coup and government takeover by the Tatmadaw (carried out after an election which the military claims was fraudulent), the political situation has become extremely complex. There is, however, one thing that is seemingly clear: the Arakan Army is no longer classified as a terrorist organization, either by the c... |
| Twitter may be working on Twitter Blue, a subscription service that would cost $2.99 per month Posted: 15 May 2021 08:40 AM PDT  Twitter has previously confirmed that it's exploring a paid subscription model for some features, and app researcher Jane Manchun Wong tweeted Saturday that she's discovered how much it will cost and what it will be called. Twitter Blue, Wong says, will cost $2.99 per month, and will include an Undo Tweets feature and bookmark collections. Wong says it appears Twitter is working on a tiered subscription model, which she posits could mean a less-cluttered, premium experience for the highest-paying subscribers.

| How far have you gone for internet access? Posted: 15 May 2021 08:00 AM PDT  The Verge's Infrastructure Week focused partly on how dire the broadband problem currently is for Americans. On Monday, we showed you a map of the worst counties for broadband in the US — and on Friday, we closed the week by showing how satellite services like Starlink aren't enough to close that gap. But even for the people who do have high-speed internet access, many of them have done desperate things to secure access to it. Our team resides all around the US, and they've shared some personal tales below about their experiences getting (or failing to get) high-speed internet. But we also want to know what lengths you've gone to for internet access. Did you have to plead with an unwilling internet service provider to branch out its... |
| Biden revokes Trump executive order that targeted Section 230 Posted: 15 May 2021 07:17 AM PDT  President Biden on Friday revoked several of former President Trump's executive orders, including one that would have changed legal protections for social media sites and other online platforms. Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act limits how much online platforms can be held liable for content users share on their platforms. The Trump order, titled "preventing online censorship," would have allowed federal authorities to hold companies like Twitter, Google, and Facebook responsible if they were found to be infringing on users' speech by deleting or otherwise modifying users' posts. Trump signed the order last May, just as Twitter started applying labels to his tweets as "misleading." Trump was eventually banned from... |
| Vaccine drives in the US are getting younger Posted: 15 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT  This week, the FDA authorized the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for people 12-15, a moment that many families have been eagerly waiting for since the vaccine rollout began in the US. As shots became available, parents rushed to get their kids the vaccine. But the decision has also contributed to ongoing discussions about how to best distribute vaccines around the world. In Santa Barbara, one 14-year-old got a vaccine for his birthday. In Colorado, schools are setting up vaccine clinics. In Los Angeles, high-schoolers were eager for their shot at experiencing a normal life again. "I have a large family, one that I haven't been able to see in over a year. I've missed out on being with my friends, spending time with family, going to school and... |
| Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket suffers failure, loses payload of two satellites Posted: 15 May 2021 06:52 AM PDT  Rocket Lab's Electron rocket failed to reach orbit after suffering an unexpected engine shutdown mid-flight on Saturday, losing the mission's payload of two satellites, the company said. The launch from New Zealand was Electron's 20th, and marked the company's second mission failure in less than a year. Electron, a roughly six-story tall rocket with two booster stages, lifted off from Rocket Lab's Launch Complex 1 on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand at 7:11AM ET on Saturday, aiming to send a pair of Earth observation satellites for BlackSky into orbit. Two and a half minutes into flight, the rocket's second stage booster successfully separated from its first stage and ignited for a few seconds before shutting down, indicating a problem... |
| The Twitter policy that could temporarily censor every single one of your tweets Posted: 15 May 2021 06:30 AM PDT  On Tuesday, a noted Palestinian-American journalist reporting live from protests near Jerusalem was suddenly and mysteriously silenced on Twitter — with every single tweet replaced by the message "@MariamBarghouti's account is temporarily unavailable because it violates the Twitter Media Policy." It was a mistake, the company quickly admitted, and her tweets were quickly restored. But it turns out that one part of the incident was not a mistake. While Twitter may have taken action on this person's account in error, there actually is one particular situation where Twitter reserves the right to make your tweets disappear. And — if you ask me — it's super, super dumb.

| Apple reportedly will continue to require masks in its US retail stores Posted: 15 May 2021 06:04 AM PDT  Despite new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Apple will keep its mandatory mask policy in place at its US retail stores for the time being, Bloomberg reported. The company informed stores that it is continuing to evaluate COVID-19-related health and safety measures, but that the policy requiring customers and employees at its Apple stores would stay in effect. The CDC announced Thursday that people who had been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus could do away with wearing masks indoors and outdoors, and did not have to continue social distancing. There are some exceptions to the CDC guidance, which recommends people continue masking on public transit, airplanes, and trains, and in health care settings... |
