Earlier this month, Facebook announced it would be using facial recognition to let users know every time a photo of them had been uploaded to the site.
Such a feature would be extremely useful to one man – public-relations professional Jonathan Hirshon, who has managed to stay anonymous on the social network for the past 20 years.
He has more than 3,000 friends on Facebook and regularly updates his profile with personal information – where he is going on holiday, what he has cooked for dinner and the state of his health.

Like many Jewish journalists who reported on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, I spent the 2016 election being harassed by a motley crew of internet racists who coalesced around the future president. They sent me threats, photoshopped me into gas chambers and hurled an uncreative array of anti-Semitic slurs my way. A study by the Anti-Defamation League found that I’d received the second-most abuse of any Jewish journalist on Twitter during the campaign cycle. My parents didn’t raise me to be No. 2; fortunately, there’s always 2020.

Microsoft posted a tweet yesterday advertising PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on the Xbox One X. The ad shows a console with a grassy battlefield on top and a player sneaking through tall grass. The ad copy at the top says, “Land. Loot. Survive.”
Now the company is being accused of stealing someone else’s concept art. A Reddit user who goes by Macsterr posted an image (above) almost two months ago that is strikingly similar to Microsoft’s Twitter post.

Lucky for us, the Times released excerpts of the conversation between Trump and Mochael Schmidt. I went through the interview and took note of 47 — yes, 47 — of the most stand-out lines. They’re below.

With over 2 billion users and counting, policing Facebook is an increasingly difficult task. The unenviable job rests on the shoulders of a 7,500-strong team of content moderators (alongside the site’s algorithms), who scour through tons of unsightly posts, ranging from violent terrorist material to images of child abuse. Unsurprisingly, they don’t always get it right (in part due to Facebook’s ambiguous guidelines). And so, yet another report of hateful material slipping through the site’s cracks has emerged, this time from ProPublica.
