A major newspaper in Brazil has stopped publishing via Facebook.

The major newspapers of Brazil are right-wing and sometimes publish fake news. My Brazilian friend told me, tongue in cheek, that he thought this decision was because the owners were concerned their articles would be tagged as fake on Facebook.

However, Facebook itself is so dangerous that any movement by the media towards rejecting it is cause for applause.

Computational extrapolation, used to predict success or failure in work, turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophesy.

The troll is a master of making racist statements, then semi-covering them with "figleaves" to help his supporters pretend they were not racist.

A UK court insisted that the UK would arrest Assange if he leaves the Ecuadorian embassy.

Even if the judge made this decision "on the merits" of that narrow aspect of the case, due to the context it would be a continuation of the scheme, punishing Assange for the UK government's dishonesty. However, given all the secret machinations, and given that UK judges often uphold such machinations, I so not believe that this ruling was independent. I think the judge is complicit in the same scheme.

If that is not true, let him prove it.

Indonesia is about to criminalize all sexual acts outside of heterosexual marriage.
