A social media campaign by pro-Palestine activists has pushed down the ranking for Facebook's app in Apple and Google's app stores, NBC News reported. The activists are seeking to protest Facebook's alleged censorship of Palestinian accounts on its platform, and are instructing people to leave Facebook's app a one-star review.

According to NBC News, Facebook is treating the situation as a high-priority issue internally; one software engineer wrote in a post on an internal Facebook message board that "users are upset with our handling of the situation," adding that the users "have started protesting by leaving 1-star reviews." Facebook has reached out to have the reviews removed, but so far, Apple has declined the request to remove the...

New trailers: Trese, Respect, Friends: The Reunion, and more

Trese comes to Netflix in June | Netflix

Still reeling from that shocking ending to last week's Mare of Easttown? Me too! I have literally no idea what to expect in tonight's episode or from next week's finale. I can't say the same for Army of the Dead, a movie I really, really wanted to like but which felt really predictable. I found myself wishing the entire movie could have been as wild as its opening credits. Army of the Dead looks spectacular (except perhaps for the digitally-added Tig Notaro character), but could have done away with a few of the rag-tag mercenary characters and tightened things up a bit.

Here are this week's trailers:

Trese

This long-awaited adaptation of the award-winning Filipino comic of the same name, Trese is the story of a woman who protects...

The needless drama of buying a PS5

Securing a PS5 is not easy, and it feels like it could be. With a combination of greed and incompetence, the stores selling PS5s in the United States have transformed the process into a weirdly dramatic affair where you're forced to join Discords and follow overly exuberant guys on Twitter in the hopes that they'll give you a heads-up on a PS5 "drop" — a store making a big shipment of PS5s available for purchase. These stores have turned every drop into an event, when really, buying a PS5 should be as easy as buying a pepper grinder.

The other day, a package was sitting in the vestibule of my apartment building. I noticed my name on the label and mentally cataloged any recent purchases I may have made or packages someone mentioned...

India reportedly orders social media platforms to remove references to “Indian variant” of COVID-19

India's government has sent notices to social media platforms ordering them to take down content that refers to an "Indian variant" of the COVID-19 virus, Reuters reported. The letter from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology sent Friday was not made public, but was viewed by several news outlets.

It was not clear which social media outlets received the letter, but India's government has recently ordered Twitter to remove tweets and Facebook and Instagram to take down posts that were critical of its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

"There is no such variant of COVID-19 scientifically cited as such by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO has not associated the term 'Indian Variant' with the B.1.617 variant of...

Google’s new Samsung smartwatch partnership looks a lot like giving up

Once again, Google is hitting the reset button, combining with Samsung's Tizen wearable operating system for a new wearable OS, tentatively called "Wear."

The company is throwing in the towel on Wear OS. It's trying yet again, this time with Samsung's Tizen OS helping to fill in the gaps that Google, for whatever reason, can't. It's theoretically good news for Android owners interested in a decent smartwatch — but one that's damning of Google's lackluster efforts in the smartwatch space to date.

In the years since Google first introduced Wear OS (neé Android Wear), there's never been a truly good Android-powered smartwatch. Samsung's Tizen-powered watches have been the best option for years, but they're ultimately Samsung watches. They...

Today I learned about the band making a giant marble-based instrument

Swedish band Wintergatan may be widely known for its Marble Machine music video (which featured a machine dropping marbles to play drums, a bass, and other instruments), but today I learned that they're building a bigger, better version, and documenting the entire process on YouTube. It's called the Marble Machine X, and it's driven by a motor instead of a hand crank, is being built by an entire team of people, and, hopefully will be able to go on tour and be played on stage when it's finished.

Wintergartan also produced a build log of the first machine, but this new project is way grander in scope, offering a deeper look at the creative process that leads to... well, building a massive musical instrument that uses marbles. The band put...
