Facebook To Crack Down On Election Year Deepfakes

Facebook is now starting to remove media that’s been manipulated and could be misleading, including deepfakes. Facebook has routinely come under pressure of late for taking a different stance to other social media platforms when it comes to stemming the flow of disinformation. Manipulated videos now appear to be one of the few exceptions. Facebook has continuously defended the right for people to post whatever they want with limited intervention. This even includes information that might be misleading, even if it’s a paid-for ad, and even if that misleading paid-for ad is from a politician....

Fargo Creator Discusses Visual Style

Earlier this year, Fargo series creator Noah Hawley presented audiences with a unique viewing experience in FX’s Legion. The X-Men adjacent series was made distinct by its colorful, stylish aesthetic and its sometimes-hallucinogenic visuals that made the story of mutant David Haller more than just another superhero tale. Although Legion was made noteworthy as much for its graphic appeal as for its initially impenetrable narrative, the series wasn’t Hawley’s first foray in infusing a season of television with a distinct look, and it wouldn’t be his last....

Exorcist Why There Are Two Movie Prequels Released A Year Apart

Horror classic The Exorcist received nearly identical prequels, released a year apart, and the reason behind that happening is rather complex. 1973’s The Exorcist is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated horror films ever, earning ten Oscar nominations, and winning two. The Exorcist also became the first horror film to receive a Best Picture nomination, starting what is today still an extremely small club. The harrowing tale of teenage Regan MacNeil’s possession by a foul-mouthed demon, The Exorcist sits at a level most horror films could never hope to reach....

Feature Request Apple Should Roll Its Own Vpn Into Ios Like Google And Aim For Better App Store Moderation

When Apple released iOS 10 last September, they pushed in a small change when connecting to wireless networks. Tucked away under the Wi-Fi settings, iOS now warns users when connecting to insecure networks that it exposes a user’s network traffic. The easy answer to this is to simply not connect to public wireless networks, but that’s something that most people will just ignore. If users won’t stop connecting to insecure public networks, they could at least start using VPNs and Apple could make it easy to do that....

Feature Request Create An Option To Automatically Reply To Text Messages While Driving

Some sources suggest that distracted driving is as dangerous as drunk driving. The National Highway & Transportation Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2015, the most recent year for which full data is available, distracted driving killed 3,477 people and injured 391,000. Using smartphones while driving is the most obvious example of distracted driving, and the NHTSA says that reading or sending a text is the most dangerous form. That’s partly because of the length of time a driver’s eyes are off the road, but also partly because many people find a text hard to ignore....
