Meta Quietly Cuts Misinformation Safeguards Ahead of Midterms

Misinformation safeguards are quietly being dropped allowing fake news and sock puppet accounts to swamp Facebook before the US midterm elections, despite Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s promises to clean up the platform.

The company squashed an investigation into false political advertising by banning researchers from the site and the CrowdTangle tool used to identify fake news only works temporarily.

“They’re not talking about it,” former Facebook Policy Director Katie Harbath stated. “We don’t know how that’s going to manifest itself for the midterms on the platforms”.

Hasty “Swastika” T-shirt Apology From US School

Hanover County Superintendent Dr Michael Gill tried to explain the apparent swastika-esque t-shirt design one of his teachers created as being intended to represent “four hands and arms grasping together”, but ended up backtracking fast after obvious undertones were picked up.

“We are deeply sorry for the emotions that the logo has evoked and by extension, to the atrocities that were committed under its banner”, he continued.

The Jewish Community Federation of Richmond praised the “swift” removal of the offending items.

Library in US Defunded after Refusing to Censor LGBT Books

The 62% to 37% decision against raising property taxes to keep funding the Patmos Library leaves the institution able to remain open only through the first quarter of next year.

“I’m not quite sure what instigated the culture wars that we’re seeing, but libraries are certainly at the front end,” said Michigan Library Association director Deborah Mikula.

Gender Queer: A Memoir was the most challenged book in the entire country last year due to its graphic content and complaints that it “promoted LGBTQ ideology”.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) said on Friday that it had launched more than 100 rockets at Israel, warning that a wider offensive would follow.
