A useful exercise, before describing the new Netflix limited series Colin in Black & White as “too dogmatic” or “too on-the-nose” or “lacking in subtlety” is to take five minutes to search Colin Kaepernick’s name on Twitter or your favorite social media platform. Kaepernick hasn’t played an NFL game since he was informally blacklisted in 2017 — I can give you a list of some of the names of inept third-string quarterbacks who have started games in recent years, if you somehow think his unemployment is based exclusively on talent — but he remains a figure who generates binary reactions. Either he’s a crusader and martyr to a cause or else he’s … let’s just say that Colin Kaepernick’s detractors are rarely graceful in their selection of words. Colin in Black & White The Bottom Line A sometimes provocative, sometimes frustrating mixture of elements. The show’s title refers to that split in people’s perceptions of Kaepernick as much as it refers to the racial binary in which the athlete has always felt trapped. It refers as well to the bluntness of the series that Kaepernick created with Ava DuVernay, six half-hour episodes that swing between wildly perceptive and entirely self-obsessed,…

WhatsApp may soon ask users to verify their identity to make payments on the platform. New strings spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta release suggest that the messenger will require users to upload verification documents to continue using payments on WhatsApp.An APK teardown can often predict features that may arrive in a future update of an application, but it is possible that any of the features we mention here may not make it in a future release. This is because these features are currently unimplemented in the live build and may be pulled at any time by the developers in a future build.Currently, when you set up WhatsApp Pay in India, the service only verifies the phone number linked to your bank account to enable UPI-based transactions. In Brazil, the messenger uses Facebook Pay to validate users’ credit or debit cards to facilitate payments. At the moment, the service doesn’t require users to submit any identity verification documents to make payments. However, that might change soon.WhatsApp v2.21.22.6 beta includes a few new strings which suggest that users might have to submit identity verification documents to continue using payments."Your identity couldn't be verified. Try uploading the documents again." WhatsApp Support Verify…
