Twitter is expanding its efforts to provide users with accurate information about why a topic is trending.Twitter is improving the way it keeps users informed about trending topics via a collaboration with The Associated Press (AP) and Reuters.Teaming up with AP and Reuters will allow Twitter to increase the scale and speed at which it provides context to popular topics of conversation.Currently, Twitter explains top trends on a limited scale. This is accomplished by attaching additional information to the trend such as a Twitter Moment, a single tweet, or a written description.Twitter aims to bolster the delivery of this information in a few key ways:AdvertisementContinue Reading BelowScale: Users can expect to see more contextual descriptions about Twitter trends going forward.Speed: Information about popular topics of conversation will be provided in real-time as they emerge.Accuracy: This collaboration will make it possible for Twitter to deliver accurate information when facts are in dispute.Trustworthiness: Links to reports from trusted sources will be provided more frequently.In addition, Twitter will attempt to provide information about topics before they go viral.When there’s potential for the topic to generate misleading information, Twitter will try to get the facts out there before the misinformation spreads.“Rather than waiting until…

Aug 03, 2021 17:26 2 min read In a move that goes against its declared mission of curbing the spread of misinformation online, Twitter blocked API access to Fátima, a bot set up by independent Brazilian fact-checker Aos Fatos. With the decision, the bot can no longer detect links that may contain false information and share its findings with its followers. Twitter had already suspended Fátima’s profile for more than 10 hours, a move which was only reversed after the fact-checking agency contacted the platform. Aos Fatos affirms it was not notified ahead of time. “Fátima is recognized worldwide as an example of combating false information through the use of artificial intelligence. Instead of supporting it, Twitter decides to derail it while life-threatening lies continue to multiply on the platform. Besides its non-compliance with policies to combat misinformation, the company facilitates the work of professional fraudsters,” commented Tai Nalon, the website’s executive director. This came only one day after Twitter announced a partnership with news agencies Associated Press and Reuters in a campaign to prevent the spread of fake news on the social media platform. In March, Twitter announced that it would remove potentially misleading or erroneous posts about vaccines and punish users who…

Sky News host Alan Jones says the challenge to free speech “is real” when it comes to YouTube’s suspension of Sky News Australia.“We don’t seem to have a leader anywhere to defend it,” he said.“Now the good news, you can find all our material, and tell your friends, on the skynews.com.au website.“We live in a time when smart people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.”

This is a really fascinating clip featuring a very young Ralph Sampson vs. a very young Arvidas Sabonis. We never got to see either of these guys truly live up to their potential. Sampson had some good years before injuries limited his mobility and while Sabonis was drafted in 1986, the same year Johnny Dawkins was taken out of Duke by San Antonio, he was not allowed to play in the West until the Soviet Union fell. He spent six years in Spain before Portland took a chance on him despite his own serious injuries. In the ACC, Sampson simply overwhelmed opponents with his size and athleticism. As you’ll see here, he met his match in Sabonis. He was just 17 at the time and very thin, far from the 292 he would later play at. It’s kind of amazing to watch these two star-crossed big men. They both showed immense potential and achieved a lot of it. It’s really a shame that injuries slowed them both and that the USSR would not allow Sabonis to play abroad. One final note about Sabonis: when he was playing for the Soviets, a lot of Americans simply assumed he was Russian when…

My piece last month about the fierce competition to attract and retain professionals working in the field of ESG — environmental, social and governance metrics and strategy — elicited a rousing response, more so than most other pieces we’ve published on GreenBiz. The responses came in the form of direct emails, Twitter comments and a dozen or so LinkedIn posts referencing the article. Together, they yielded more than 1,000 reactions and comments — many complimentary, some decidedly not, most of them quite passionate. Clearly, when you write about people’s livelihoods and careers, nearly everyone has an opinion. Or two. One particular set of comments was spurred by a LinkedIn post about my article by Mike Barry. Barry spent more than 14 years leading sustainability at Marks & Spencer, the U.K.-based multinational retailer, where he is credited with creating the company’s Plan A ("because there is no Plan B") initiative back in 2007. He is a strategic adviser to companies and nonprofits — and, from what I’ve seen, a social media maven. The bulk of his commenters were from across the pond, bringing a non-U.S. perspective to the conversation. Clearly, when you write about people’s livelihoods and careers, nearly everyone has…
