“The new notice appears as a massive unmissable box at the top of users’ Twitter feeds on the iOS and Android apps, prompting users to ‘make sure you have the most up-to-date information on the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations.’”

“Twitter withheld some tweets after a legal request by the Indian government, a company spokeswoman told Reuters on Saturday. These included tweets from a lawmaker, a minister in the state of West Bengal, and a filmmaker. ‘Suppression of information and criticism of government is not only dangerous for India but it is putting people around the world at risk,’ said Mirza Saaib Beg, a lawyer whose tweets were among those withheld.”

“IWMF Executive Director Elisa Lees Muñoz said in an impact report that Adelante’s goal was two-fold: to give journalists a unique opportunity to safely cover underreported stories in a complex region and to create a squad of women with in-depth expertise on Latin America.”

“The way the helpline works is simple. Once a complainant texts the number, they receive an automated response from the police asking if they wish to file a complaint. If they respond ‘yes,’ the helpline automatically requests information about the incident. It is then assigned a case number and, depending on location, passed onto one of the 100 units in the Telangana police force known as SHE Teams, units that focus on crimes against women.”

“Current subscribers will not be asked to switch to the crypto payment options, according to Maya Draisin, svp of progress marketing.

A writer who researched and published a brief history of the “op-ed” writes about its demise at The New York Times. “‘My single biggest complaint is our propensity towards ‘names,” wrote one editor. ‘I do understand the need for establishment opinion, but we do have too much of it.

“Through Spotify’s podcast creation tool Anchor, podcasters will be able to mark select episodes as subscriber-only content, then publish them to Spotify and other platforms … Apple [which launched a competing paid podcast program last week] said it’s taking a 30% cut of the podcast revenue in year one, dropping to 15% in year two — the same as its cut for streaming services on its App Store. Spotify, meanwhile, says its program will come at no cost to creators for the next two years, which means creators will keep 100% of revenues. Then, in Spring 2023, Spotify plans to introduce only a 5% fee for access to the tool.”

“In the iceberg model, an event is what occurs above the surface and brings attention, even if fleeting, to the issue. In this case, for example, reports of a COVID outbreak at a Fruitvale supermarket in May of 2020 brought attention to disparate COVID rates in Oakland’s Latino communities.
