Revealed: Facebook's Global Lobbying Against Data Privacy Laws.
James Hart Stern, a black American, infiltrated a US Nazi organization and convinced them to hand over control of it. He now intends to move it away from radicalism.
A few decades ago, that might have made a tremendous difference. My understanding is that things have changed: in the extreme right wing today, specific organizations are of diminished importance because they often make new ones. His success will still be an improvement, just not a tremendous one.
Proving that the organization planned violence at Charlottesville have the useful effect of disproving some lies.
Morozov: "The left needs to get radical on big tech — moderate solutions won't cut it."

56% of students polled in the UK reported that they had experienced "unwanted sexual behaviour". That is a very broad class. At the upper limit it includes rape and violence, which are grave.
However, there is no obvious lower limit to what that could include. Winking too often? Staring for a few minutes from a distance? A request for a date from someone you don't want to go out with? The high fraction could mean only that the line is drawn too low.
If we want to deal with the severe problems, mixing up violence with minor annoyance and everything in between is not a useful approach.
