Looks like episode 1 of this series of Black Mirror has got them spooked. ;-)

Good call by Facebook in my opinion.


Or they simply haven't agreed to sell that data to Admiral, yet.


People will stop using social media if it's used for stuff like this. I don't think we are in huge danger of it until that changes.



There is an FDA approval for testing Oxitec's GM mosquitos in a small scale trial in Florida.

There are also small scale tests in Brazil and the Caymans.

I've read about that. They breed sterile mosquitoes, which reduces the local population by 90% after release. But it's nowhere near as ambitious as my plan which would drive them to extinction. Also the locals are heavily opposed to it and trying to stop it : /


"Pretend to act, or look and feel, like a trusted entity — like your own device or browser, or the website itself."

This is a broad statement. Taken at face value, this covers all native advertising - with articles/images/videos/thumbnails/etc intended to fit in with the content of the site/app.


If we can get rid of native advertising too, I'm all for it. Native advertising is a special kind of evil.

There is a service I read about in the Netherlands, called Blendle - that charges micropayments for articles read from news sites.

I've never used it personally, but their 1-year-later writeup:

References allowing seamless refunds, for content that the reader doesn't find up to quality. With clickbait articles getting higher refund rates.

"At Blendle we see this every day. Gossip magazines, for example, get much higher refund percentages than average (some up to 50% of purchases), as some of them are basically clickbait in print."

While referencing for content as a whole "On average, in only 5% of the cases a user asks for a refund."
