LinkedIn is facing pressure from senior MPs and academics to stop “bowing to Beijing” by censoring users who are critical of China.The Times has identified scholars, businessmen, journalists, whistleblowers and a former diplomat whose accounts were blocked in China after the professional networking site found “prohibited content” on their profiles.References on their pages to the Tiananmen Square massacre, criticism of the Chinese Communist Party or support for Uighurs and the independence movements in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tibet are thought to have led to the accounts being blocked.The social media company, which has 756 million users and is owned by Microsoft, is facing calls for it to be regulated like a television broadcaster and face sanctions for non-compliance.LinkedIn notified affected users

Earlier this month, Black creators on TikTok went on strike to protest appropriation of dance trends by white creators, who in turn wind up getting sponsorships and earning money. Prominent Silicon Valley investor Jason Calacanis says don’t protest, create your own. On his popular podcast, “This Week in Startups,” Calacanis suggested that Black creators create their own app since most social media platforms are benefiting from Black creators and Black culture. He also tweeted his view. “Twitter, in the early days, all of the trending topics at times were based on Black culture. Someone at Twitter told me,…they created localized and customized trending topics…because non-Black people couldn’t understand what was going on on Twitter and they were afraid that white people…would leave. So they basically throttled Black culture on Twitter,” he noted. Calacanis continued, “Then you look at something like Clubhouse, my goodness, the whole thing was built off of Black culture. You’d open up Clubhouse and it was all kinds of Black creators — comedians,  » Read More

Nearly two weeks after 21-year-old Sha’Carri Richardson made headlines for her victory in the women’s 100-meter event at the U.S. Olympic Team trials, she was hit with a one-month suspension — a penalty that may lead to her exclusion in the Tokyo Olympics. Following the love she received since her monumental win, the Texas native apologized to her fans and sponsors, explaining that she resorted to marijuana to help cope with the loss of her biological mother. Richardson’s supporters, however, were not upset with the 21-year-old and instead took to Twitter to compare her actions and ensuing punishment to the discipline Olympians Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps experienced for similar actions. In 2017, during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Lochte alleged that he and three fellow swimmers were robbed at gunpoint while they were on their way home after a party. He later admitted that he was intoxicated and got into an altercation with the “burglars” as a result of his drunken behavior. “This is such bullshit,” user @owoathkeeper wrote. “Ryan Lochte caused an international incident and that asshole still gets to compete.” @leftcoastbabe questioned the logic behind Richardson’s suspension for marijuana use. “Will ANYONE explain to me…

Governments around the world need to urgently plan for more extreme weather events to prevent people from dying of heat, a climate change expert has urged.Hundreds of people in the northwest US and Canadian province of British Columbia are believed to have died in the past week from heat as they deal with a "heat dome" that has pushed temperatures to 49.6C. Rupert Stuart-Smith, a PhD student at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute, told Sky News there is "clear evidence" climate change has a role to play with an increase in heat-related mortality. "Over a third of heat-related deaths are now caused by climate change, the hotter the heatwave the more deaths," he said."We are able to see this by looking at a heatwave and asking what it would have looked like without human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. "Heatwaves as intense as we're seeing would have been far less intense, would have been cooler without climate change." He said governments have a big role to play in adapting to and being prepared for more extreme weather events. "Some of the most deadly events are happening to places you historically did not need to prepare for serious heatwaves."The Pacific Northwest - historically…
