Social media company Snapchat is partnering with Google Pixel, Will and Jada Pinkett Smiths’ Westbrook Media, and others for its effort aimed at supporting Black content creators.  According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the campaign — called the 523 program, referring to Snapchat’s original office’s address: 523 Ocean Front Walk in Venice Beach, California — will give 25 Black content creators support and other resources to help them get the recognition they deserve.

The 25 content creators chosen will receive $10,000 a month as a stipend for a year, a new Google Pixel, plus things like mentoring, partner education from…

The Supreme Court hasn't made clear whether such a constitutional right to be free from government disclosure of private information (as opposed to the indubitably existing right to be free from unreasonable searches), even setting aside the Dobbs debate; see NASA v. Nelson (2011). But some lower courts have recognized it, see, e.g., Marsh v. County of San Diego (9th Cir. 2012), and this morning's decision by Judge Matthew Kennelly (N.D. Ind.) in Logan v. City of Evanston follows Seventh Circuit precedent on this point: … Evanston Police Chief Demitrous Cook … published onto his personal Snapchat story several photos of individuals who were of interest in Evanston police investigations. Cook also published these individuals' dates of birth and last known addresses. Some of the individual photos had comments like "in custody" or "DOA" (dead on arrival) handwritten next to the image. The word "pending" appeared next to Logan's identifying information, and "HIV" was handwritten next to his image…. Social media users who saw Cook's story subsequently shared the photos and personal information on Facebook and through text messages. Days later on February 22, Logan took an HIV test, which was negative, to rebut the perceived public belief that he…

The new iOS 16 beta release is now available for iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and other qualifying iPhone models, allowing developers to get hands-on experience with the new capabilities before updating their apps. Other users, on the other hand, may have loaded the iOS 16 beta update on their primary devices in order to be among the first to experience the new features. Beta upgrades might be problematic and cause the battery to drain more quickly than usual. And as we mentioned it in or earlier post that it is not a wise decision to install the beta version on your iPhone as it may create many problems.  Fortunately, users may uninstall iOS 16 beta version even after installing iOS 16 beta 2 or any later iOS 16 beta update on your iPhone. Once you update your iPhone to the iOS 16 beta version, you will most likely receive all beta updates until the final version of iOS is released. However, uninstalling the iOS 16 Beta profile may help you. It not only helps you in getting rid of the beta program, but it also halts the beta updates, which are almost certainly riddled with flaws. How to Uninstall iOS…
