The US government alleges Facebook enabled housing ad discrimination

Image
Facebook has a new headache when it comes to housing advertisements. The federal government has filed charges (via Axios ) that the social media site violated the Fair Housing Act by allowing ads to discriminate against some protected groups. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) filed its complaint last week over the company's advertising practices, something that investigative reporting and nonprofit groups have alleged for the last two years. In 2016, a ProPublica investigation revealed that anyone advertising housing could discriminate on the basis of race, and a year later, a followup investigation found that Facebook hadn't solved the problem . The company had updated its advertising policies, but despite those... Continue reading… via The Verge - Tech Posts https://ift.tt/2N09dFI ...

Snapchat's much-needed Android overhaul is hiding in plain sight

Image
Snap promised a sorely needed redesign for Snapchat's sluggish Android app back in November, and it's now clear what that tune-up will entail. Jane Manchun Wong has discovered (with additional detail from Kieron Quinn) that Snapchat's Android app hides a rough alpha version of the revamp with an experience more on par with the iOS version. The new interface is slightly tidier, but the most noticeable change is performance -- gone is the choppiness that you usually have to endure on Android. As a rule, the new app should be smooth as silk on reasonably powerful devices. You might not want to rush to try the test release. As the alpha status implies, this is a very rough-around-the-edges app with missing controls (including access to Snapcodes on profiles) and buggy behavior. The camera app still captures screenshots rather than direct photos, for that...

Egypt signs censorship-focused cybercrime bill into law

Image
Egypt's increasingly strict regulation of internet use just became that much harsher. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has signed a cybercrime law that makes it illegal to run and even visit sites considered threats to the country's economy and national security. If convicted, operators and users have to pay fines or, in some cases, face prison sentences. The law is ostensibly focused on fighting terrorism. However, that's widely considered a cover for al-Sisi's ultimate goal of silencing political opposition. Egypt has been cracking down on independent news sites and social media activists that challenge the official party line, no matter how peaceful they may be. It even went so far as to block major outlets like Al Jazeera that might present a less-than-flattering image of the nation's leadership. These kinds of moves aren't new in Egyp...

The next 'Rainbow Six: Siege' update shakes up a familiar formula

Image
Ubisoft has revealed the full details for Rainbow Six: Siege 's upcoming Operation Grim Sky update , and it's clear that this is as much about changing the mechanics of the game itself as it is adding some variety. Both new characters, Clash (above) and Maverick, will introduce gadgets that should force experienced players to rethink their strategies. Clash is the first defender with a shield, and hers includes a built-in taser -- she can slow down and damage anyone who gets relatively close. The attack character Maverick, meanwhile, can use a blowtorch to quietly cut holes in just about anything to take out unsuspecting enemies and disable gadgets. You can't assume that a wall is safe simply because you didn't hear anything. As for the much-vaunted first complete map rework? From early indications, the revamped Hereford Base really is closer to a n...
