- Mashable 01:12August 22, 2019Why Instagram should take that viral hoax seriouslyBy now, you've probably heard about that ridiculous, nearly decade-old privacy hoax that went viral on Instagram thanks to a bunch of clueless celebrities.
And while it's easy to laugh at, it has some pretty serious implications for the company's billion plus users.
That the hoax, which has been repeatedly debunked over the years, was able to spread like virtual wildfire across Instagram is concerning to say the least. It shows just how easily conspiracy theories and propaganda can spread, with Instagram doing little to stop it.
While there's plenty to criticize about Facebook's misinformation-fighting, the company will at least debunk conspiracy theories and attempt to push them out of sight in its News Feed. The process has been criticized for moving too slowly at times, but there are signs it's been effective at reducing the spread of fake news.

- Mashable 18:10August 21, 2019Trans woman googles every news story containing the word 'transgender' in a yearTea Uglow was having dinner with her family when her brother proffered an impromptu opinion on "the role of trans people in sport, women's spaces, and the 'danger to the kids.'"
"It was as surprising as it was personally devastating," said Uglow, who identifies as trans.
"After an emotional discussion it was even harder to persuade everyone that this was literally regurgitating ideas we’d seen on the front pages for the last few years," she added. "'Concerns' that were not concerning when I actually transitioned."
From the conversation with her family, an idea emerged. Uglow, who works for Google Creative Lab, said she wanted to see where those ideas about trans people emerged by doing a non-partisan review of headlines from the past year. "I just wanted to see, without cherry-picking the 'bad' headlines, how out of control the situation was," she said.

So why are so many of us streaming endless reruns of 90s sitcoms?In the opening episode of Netflix’s animated Hollywood satire BoJack Horseman, the eponymous steed gives a drunken speech about Horsin’ Around, the (fictional) feelgood sitcom that made him a star in the 90s. “For a lot of people, life is just one long, hard kick in the urethra,” he says. “And sometimes, when you get home from a long day of getting kicked in the urethra, you just want to watch a show about good, likable people who love each other – where no matter what happens, at the end of 30 minutes, everything’s gonna turn out OK.”BoJack Horseman is a rare thing on Netflix in that it is a) original, b) critically adored and c) extremely popular. It is the 15th-most-viewed Netflix show in the US, according to the analytics firm Jumpshot (one of the best guides to what is popular on the platform, as Netflix doesn’t release stats).

He talks about opening up on mental health, the problem with jingles – and why it’s such a great time to be sillyThe BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show, says its host, Greg James, is about “fun for fun’s sake”. This Wednesday morning, not long after dawn, that involves a lot of chat about bins. There are a couple of stories knocking about, James explains on air. A Nuneaton family accused of having smelly bins have defended themselves on TV. A binman has bought a birthday cake for a woman on his route who was turning 100. Plus, it is James’s bin day today. “And yes, I did remember to put them out before I came in.”James’s day starts at 5.30am, four days a week, with his show on air from 6.30am to 10am. As I listen at home, getting ready to join him in the studio for his final hour, it occurs to me: sometimes it is not enough just to go out in search of fun, it is more often about making your own – and hoping it translates.
