Posted in: Uncategorized
Some Facebook users on Tuesday saw notes at the bottom of posts asking whether they contain hate speech.
It looked like Facebook was trying to bolster its forever-war against hate speech on the platform, primarily fought with algorithms and human staffers, by simply asking users to call it out.
People saw the question appear on innocuous posts, including one from The Bad Apple bar in Chicago talking about menu items.

ICYMI: 'Interrogating Zuckerberg,' from the Bad Lip Reading geniuses
Posted in: Uncategorized
As we get ready to limp into May, we’re going to close out the month that just was with a bit of nostalgia. In particular, remember that time Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified on Capitol Hill? It seems so long ago* that the version of the proceedings above, from the geniuses at the Bad Lip Reading channel on YouTube, now seems more or less accurate through the fog of memory. The video has it all: Robot-deer-caught-in-headlights Zuckerberg smiling mechanically and attempting to sip water. Tech-illiterate lawmakers asking him clueless questions. Senator Lindsey Graham singing “Judy Moonlight.” OK, maybe not all of the above actually happened. But “Interrogating Zuckerberg: A Bad Lip Reading” has been going wildly and deservedly viraland damn it, this is the way we want to remember how it all went down
BTW, if you’re not familiar with the Bad Lip Reading channel’s oeuvre, here’s a good place to start: “This New Trump Video From the Bad Lip Reading Channel Is Your Best Belated Christmas Present.”

E-Cigarette liquid packaged like candy leads to FTC, FDA warnings
Posted in: Uncategorized
The move follows an FDA sting operation that resulted in 40 warning letters last week to retailers that sold kids Juul e-cigarettes, the latest craze in underage tobacco use.
The FDA has given e-cigarette makers extra time to comply with certain e-cigarette regulations and is attempting to rein in youth use while it learns more about the products. Antismoking advocates have criticized the agency for not moving to ban flavors in tobacco products. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has said he wants to take a balanced approach to help adults who enjoy the flavors switch from regular cigarettes to vaping.
“Companies selling these products have a responsibility to ensure they aren’t putting children in harm’s way or enticing youth use, and we’ll continue to take action against those who sell tobacco products to youth and market products in this egregious fashion,” Gottlieb said in a statement. The agency plans “a series of escalating actions” as part of a new plan to prevent youth tobacco use, Gottlieb said.
