Youtube recommending videos of guns

samedi 20 mai 2023 à 09:47

A study found that YouTube tends to recommend videos about guns and shooting to boys of age 9, and boys of age 14.

Many of these videos were not supposed to be allowed on YouTube, but it seems not to enforce those policies.

Nicolas Sarkozy sentenced to house arrest

Former president Nicolas Sarkozy has been convicted of corruption and sentenced to a year's house arrest.

President of Ecuador dissolved Congress

samedi 20 mai 2023 à 09:47

President Lasso of Ecuador had been impeached, and was in the process of being tried for removal from office, when he dissolved the whole Congress.

Chinese comedian's joke

samedi 20 mai 2023 à 09:47

A Chinese comedian made a joke that some extreme patriots interpreted as a slight on the Chinese army, though it apparently didn't say anything about the army. The government forced him to publish a confession of guilt, then silenced him on communication platforms.

The government also fined the company he works for around 1.5 million dollars.

I have a hunch he will be punished in other ways that were not officially announced. For instance, that he won't be allowed to work as a comedian any more.

It's a reason to stop using Twitter.
