Keep up with climate justice by following these five organizations

What is Parler? Everything you need to know about the conservative social network.

If you look at Apple's App Store charts today, you'll find an app called Parler sitting at the top of the free app category.

Haven't heard of Parler? Let us explain.

What is Parler?

Parler is a social network founded by John Matze and Jared Thomson, two Nevada-based conservative programmers, in 2018. The website bills itself as a “free speech” microblogging alternative to platforms like Twitter.  In the founders' opinions, big tech companies clearly have an anti-conservative bias and censor those views.

Image: Parler

During the summer of 2020, Parler became particularly popular with conservatives and Trump supporters as big social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter cracked down on misinformation. Users falsely claimed that new rules were targeting conservatives and that they'd been silenced.  Read more...

Here's how many Trump posts have been flagged for misinformation since Election Day

Donald Trump likes to blame "Big Tech" for having it out for him. In reality, in response to reports that link social media to the spread of dangerous misinformation, both Twitter and Facebook were forced to implement new policies around the 2020 election to quell a problem of Trump's own making.

And boy, do his feeds — where practically every other post has been flagged for violating these new policies — reflect exactly how badly we needed them.

Over the months leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Trump had been making false, completely unsubstantiated claims around widespread voter fraud, as well as accusing the Democrats of rigging or stealing the election with absolutely zero evidence. Concerned that allowing Trump to spread blatant lies that cast doubt on the perfectly legitimate results of a democratic election would incite more unrest or even violence in America, those social platforms prepared by instituting new policies around labeling disputed claims and misinformation.

If you're navigating the transition from an actual office to your home, you're not alone. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones and try to make the most of the shift. After all, you get to stay in your pajamas all day if you want. 

But while the business world has slowed down, it hasn't stopped completely. And that means you still have to stay on top of things — like attending meetings. The ability to attend a work meeting from your sofa is pretty awesome compared to a stuffy conference room, but there's definitely a downside. You have to make yourself and your surroundings look presentable (at least from the waist up). Read more...

Miley Cyrus banger 'Party in the U.S.A.' returns to the charts after Biden-Harris win

Need some tunes to go with your Biden-Harris victory celebration? Join a huge chunk of the nation in jamming out to Miley Cyrus' 2009 pre-Bangerz hit, "Party in the U.S.A." 

On Saturday, the poppy jam — imagined in a time before the Trump administration was even a thing — began charting again nearly a decade afters its release. Cyrus shared a video on social media shortly after the presidential election was called, showing President-elect Joe Biden seemingly playing "Party in the U.S.A." into his microphone at a campaign event. 

The clip didn't really happen; it's a popular meme based on something that did actually happen with the song "Despacito" back in September.  Still, it was enough to fan the flames of a country already raging out to Cyrus' aughts classic. Read more...

Viral videos of poll workers filling in ballots don't show what Trump supporters want you to believe

Misinformation about the election count continues to rapidly spread throughout social media.

One particularly false, viral claim that has been passed around among Trump supporters on platforms like Facebook and Twitter over the past few days: Poll workers are filling out ballots at the counting centers in order to steal the election from the president.

This isn't true. Period. Here’s what’s really going on.

In an effort to be more transparent, some counting centers have livestreams running so people can watch the election workers count ballots. Unfortunately, the livestream videos are being deceptively edited in order to spread misinformation. Read more...

Newly elected QAnon supporter is drowning in Twitter warnings

Nineteen — that’s how many of Republican Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter posts were slapped with an election misinformation warning label by the company on November 4.

Over the past few days, Greene has been spreading quite a few falsehoods on Twitter containing misinformation about election results and untrue claims of voter fraud and “stolen” elections. 

Joe Biden Said On Video That Democrats Built the Biggest "Voter Fraud" Operation in History.

We're seeing it on full display right now!

— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) November 4, 2020

The Fake News Media wants you to believe that Joe Biden (who didn’t campaign AT ALL) isn’t involved in VOTER FRAUD.

He literally said he built the “BIGGEST” voter fraud organization in American history.

Maine voters double down on facial recognition ban in win for privacy

Residents of Portland, Maine, can now officially sue the bastards. 

In a robust show of doubling down on privacy protections, voters in the Maine city passed a measure Tuesday replacing and strengthening an existing ban on city official's use of facial recognition technology. While city employees were already prohibited from using the controversial tech, this new ban also gives residents the right to sue the city for violations and specifies monetary fines the city would have to pay out. 

Oh yeah, and for some icing on the cake: Under the new law, city officials that violate the ban can be fired. What's more, if a person discovers that "any person or entity acting on behalf of the City of Portland, including any officer, employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor, or vendor" used facial recognition on them, that person is entitled to no less than $100 per violation or $1,000 (whichever is greater).  Read more...
