A hot potato: It seems that Meta is going to become a lot more like X, at least when it comes to what you can say on the company's platforms. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the suspension of the fact-checking program, a reduction in the amount of censorship, and the recommendation of more political content across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. In a video announcing the changes, Zuckerberg says Meta has built a lot of complex systems to moderate content, "But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes."Zuckerberg adds that accidentally censoring just one percent of posts can affect millions of people, and that we're at the point now where there have been too many mistakes and "too much censorship."View this post on InstagramA post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck)"The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing free speech," Zuckerberg continued.Coming to the US first in the next couple of months, Meta's biggest change is the replacement of third-party fact checkers with community notes, which have gained popularity on X. Zuckerberg claims that fact checkers have become too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they created. // Related StoriesThe notes will appear as labels on posts indicating that there is additional information. To prevent bias, the note will "require agreement between people with a range of perspectives." Meta is also dialing back the prominence of content warning labels.Meta is also going to "simplify" its content policies, removing restrictions on topics such as immigration and gender that "are just out of touch with mainstream discourse.""What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas, and it's gone too far. So I want to make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms."Another change is the way Meta enforces its policies on platforms. Filters that used to scan for any policy violation will now focus on illegal and high-severity violations such as terrorism, child sexual exploitation, drugs, fraud, and scams. The company will rely on users to report lower-priority violation before it takes any action. Zuckerberg believes this will dramatically reduce the amount of censorship on the platforms.The final change is the return of civic content, which was removed in 2021 due to political misinformation concerns. Zuckerberg said Meta will work to keep civic and political discourse "friendly and positive."The next change is to move Meta's Trust and Safety and Content Moderation teams from California to Texas and other US locations. Zuckerberg said as Meta works to promote free expression, it will help build trust to do this work in places where there is less concern about bias from the teams.Finally, the CEO said Meta will work with President Trump to push back against governments around the world that have been "going after" American companies and pushing to censor more. He claims that Europe's ever-increasing number of censorship laws make it difficult to build anything innovative in the continent. Zuckerberg specifically mentions Latin American courts and China trying to push more censorship.The announcement comes days after former UK deputy prime minister Nick Clegg said he was resigning as Meta's president of global affairs, replaced by Republican Joel Kaplan. The company has also appointed UFC CEO Dana White to its board.While Meta's changes will likely be welcomed by the incoming president, Trump has had a strained relationship with Zuckerberg in the past. Facebook banned the president-elect for two years shortly after the January 6 insurrection in 2021. Trump has also called Facebook the enemy of the people, accused Zuckerberg of plotting against him during the 2020 election, and said he would "spend the rest of his life in prison" if he ever did it again. But Zuckerberg was quick to congratulate Trump on his re-election. Meta also donated $1 million to an inauguration fund for Trump.

Drew Firment, Chief Cloud Strategist, PluralsightJanuary 8, 20254 Min ReadPixabaySpurred by the rapid adoption of generative AI, cloud computings 20% year-over-year growth is driving its status as todays default operating model. However, the workforce skills gap has many organizations struggling to leverage the clouds full potential. While security and cost controls are key challenges to cloud adoption, the skills gap continues to vex enterprises seeking to maximize their investments in cloud computing, as more than 75% of organizations have abandoned projects due to skills gaps.Many companies hire new talent to address the cloud skills gap, which is only a temporary solution. To implement a sustainable transition to the cloud, leaders must adopt a long-term strategic approach to upskill existing employees with a comprehensive workforce development plan. Continuous learning programs can help companies close their cloud computing skills gap and evolve the workforce to stay ahead of technology. These programs should also include non-technical employees to ensure enterprise-wide cloud literacy.Impact of AI and the Cloud on Security, Compliance, and UpskillingAIs rapid evolution and influence on the cloud are game changers for businesses innovation and management of the complex security and compliance landscapes that come with this shift. Addressing these challenges through upskilling is vital to ensuring companies can navigate the new era of AI and cloud computing confidently and securely.Related:Companies can use AI to automate routine tasks, improve customer experiences through chatbots and recommendations, and analyze large datasets to derive actionable insights. AI also helps cloud environments to be more adaptive and self-optimizing, enabling them to scale based on real-time demand and usage patterns. This integration of AI and the cloud enhances efficiency and innovation but also creates new challenges related to security, compliance, and the need for specialized skills.AI can be a powerful tool to enhance cloud security through advanced threat detection and real-time risk analysis. However, using AI in cloud systems makes these environments more complex, creating more entry points for potential security threats. AI-driven systems that are not properly secured could become targets for malicious actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities. For example, adversarial AI techniques in which data is manipulated to deceive AI models are an emerging threat to cloud security.To mitigate these risks, businesses need cloud security professionals with expertise in both cloud infrastructure and AI-driven tools. These professionals must know how to use AI to strengthen security measures while also being vigilant about the unique security challenges that AI introduces. Through continuous learning and targeted upskilling programs, organizations can equip their workforce with the knowledge needed to navigate these challenges and unlock the full potential of AI and the cloud.Related:Upskilling Teams, Optimizing Cloud Usage, and AlignmentAcross industries, the cloud is now table stakes, but its successful adoption requires more than just implementing a cloud infrastructure. It demands a holistic approach that optimizes cloud usage and aligns its strategies with business objectives. When done right, cloud computing allows teams to enhance agility and speed, drive innovation, and improve cross-team collaboration. To operationalize cloud computing effectively, businesses must focus on leadership and organizational alignment, cloud governance and security, and continuous upskilling of employees.Cloud adoption should be an integral part of the businesss overall strategy rather than an isolated IT initiative. Key considerations include creating a cloud-first mindset and culture across the organization, from leadership to front-line employees. By utilizing the cloud, organizations can pivot quickly based on market conditions and leverage data analytics and AI to make more informed, data-driven decisions.Related:Cloud computing is a highly specialized skill that requires a deep understanding of cloud platforms, security, DevOps practices, and data management. Training that includes AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud certifications helps employees stay current on the latest cloud technologies and best practices. As cloud computing affects many aspects of a business, from IT and development teams to marketing and operations, a cross-functional collaboration ensures that cloud capabilities are utilized as effectively as possible across the enterprise.Fostering a Culture of Continuous LearningAs the cloud continues to evolve, the need for workforces with the skills to use it will intensify. To remain competitive, organizations must foster a culture in which employees are empowered to update their skills through a mix of formal training, hands-on experience, and knowledge sharing.Organizations that fail to address the skills gap risk falling behind in the race to leverage cloud technologies effectively. By investing in cloud training programs, certifications, and continuous learning, businesses can ensure they have the talent to innovate, scale, and secure their operations in the cloud.About the AuthorDrew FirmentChief Cloud Strategist, PluralsightDrew Firment works closely with business and technology leaders to accelerate cloud adoption by migrating talent to the cloud.

Ryanair is suing a passenger it said had forced a flight to divert, it announced Wednesday.The airline said it paid for 160 passengers' accommodation after the diversion meant an overnight delay.It said it would take action against "disruptive passengers personally."Ryanairannounced a clampdown on passenger misconduct as it revealed it was suing someone it accused of disrupting a flight and forcing it to divert.The budget airline said it wants to claim over 15,000 euros, around $15,500, in damages, having filed proceedings in the Irish Circuit Court.In a statement issued Wednesday, the airline said it would now take action against "disruptive passengers personally" in a "major misconduct clamp down."It added it would "continue to take decisive action to combat unruly passenger behavior."In the statement, it said that the incident occurred on April 9, 2024, on a flight from Dublin to Lanzarote a popular vacation destination in Spain's Canary Islands.The flight, with 160 passengers on board, diverted to Porto, Portugal, and was delayed overnight, the airline said.The airline accused the passenger of "inexcusable behavior" but did not elaborate on what they had specifically done.A Ryanair spokesperson said the incident cost the airline 15,000 euros for overnight accommodation, passenger expenses, and landing costs."It is unacceptable that passengers many of whom are heading away with family or friends to enjoy a relaxing summer holiday are suffering unnecessary disruption and reduced holiday time as a result of one unruly passenger's behavior," the spokesperson said."This demonstrates just one of the many consequences that passengers who disrupt flights will face as part of Ryanair's zero-tolerance policy, and we hope this action will deter further disruptive behavior on flights so that passengers and crew can travel in a comfortable and respectful environment," they added.

Apple still can't sell iPhone 16s in Indonesia due to a ban in place since October.Indonesia's industry minister said that Apple doesn't meet rules to source some materials locally. That's despite Apple's plan to invest $1 billion in building an AirTag factory in the country.Apple is still banned from selling the iPhone 16 in Indonesia after a top government official dismissed its $1 billion plan to meet local investment requirements.Indonesia's industry minister, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, said in a briefing on Wednesday that Apple's proposal, which included a plan to build an AirTag factory in the country, did not fulfill the demands of its local regulations.Apple has been blocked from selling its latest iPhone model in the country of over 280 million people since October. It currently falls short of a requirement for tech firms to locally source at least 40% of the material in their smartphones and tablets.Indonesia's investment minister, Rosan Roeslani, said on Tuesday that Apple had "committed" to building the AirTag factory on Batam Island, with operations beginning in early 2026.However, Kartasasmita said on Wednesday that the factory would not be enough to reverse the ban, with AirTags considered just an accessory, according to comments reported by Bloomberg."As of this afternoon, the government does not have a basis for issuing the local content certificates" that Apple needs to sell its flagship device in Indonesia, Kartasamita said. "Apple needs to negotiate with us so that we can issue a certificate."The comments came after Reuters reported that Indonesia's industry minister had met with Apple representatives on Tuesday to discuss the tech giant's plans to comply with investment expectations and get the iPhone 16 ban lifted.However, Kartasasmita's comments on Wednesday suggest negotiations between Indonesia and the world's most valuable company had failed to reach a resolution, extending Apple's drought on iPhone 16 sales in Indonesia.Apple's difficulties in Southeast Asia's largest economy have been deepened as smartphone rivals such as Samsung have pushed forward with their own efforts to meet Indonesia's regulatory demands."There's no deadline for compliance," Kartasasmita said. "If Apple wants to sell the iPhone 16, and especially if they plan to launch the iPhone 17, the decision is entirely up to them."Apple did not immediately respond to BI's request for comment.

The biggest question in politics right now is what the second Trump administration will actually look like. The most honest answer is that nobody knows for sure: Its leader is so chaotic, and his followers so divided against themselves, that predicting anything with full confidence is a fools errand.With that in mind, I still want to engage in a bit of an exercise: to try to lay out what I think is true about the American right today, and then make some tentative predictions about the upcoming Trump administration based on those premises.The idea isnt just to make guesses for the sake of guessing. Rather, its to generate some testable predictions for my view of Trump and the right to see whether my ideas are pointing me in the right direction, and to adjust them if they prove wrong. Ill be doing that retrospection in my newsletter On the Right; if youre interested and/or want the chance to tell me Im wrong, please subscribe!Lets start with the premises: The things I think are true about the right today. Talking about the right today is mostly talking about the Trump coalition. Obviously, ownership of being on the right is contested with many Never Trumpers claiming to be the true conservatives and calling Trumps followers apostate sellouts. But at this point, with Trump and his allies in firm control of both the GOP and its aligned external institutions, the right as an actually existing political force is mostly just the Trump coalition. This coalition includes people with varying degrees of ideological fervor, ranging from Stephen Miller-style true believers to more reluctant knee-benders, but it is still a coalition aligned behind a particular leader.The rights first uniting principle is anti-liberalism. The various factions of the Trump coalition share a core belief that American liberalism is something worse than merely wrong: that it is an actively malign force in American public life. Liberals, in their eyes, are not mere political opponents but enemies threats to the essence of America itself. This justifies extreme measures against them.The rights second uniting principle is the person of Donald Trump. Trump is not merely the leader of the Republican Party: He is a charismatic figure who wields a uniquely personal type of power, an uncanny ability to get a majority of Republican voters to follow wherever he seems to lead. Thats why no one on the right can get on Trumps bad side for long and remain in good standing; theyre all following where he leads.The rights wholesale turn against democracy is a byproduct of those two principles, and itll define much of Trumps agenda. Trumps personal obsession with denying his defeat in 2020, and justifying his coup attempt, set the tone for much of Republican politics today including plans to purge the federal government during the next administration. Some more traditional Republicans may make noises of concern about Trump going too far, but they will ultimately go along with it because theyre either afraid of Trump or hate liberals more than they care about norms. For these reasons, a willingness to subvert democracy has become a rare point of consensus on the modern right.Beyond these areas of agreement, the right is profoundly divided. There are many different factions inside the Trump coalition with examples including MAGA ideologues like Miller and Steve Bannon, traditional pre-Trump Republicans like Marco Rubio, postliberal authoritarians like JD Vance, and techno-rightists like Elon Musk. These different factions disagree even on core Trump issues like immigration and tariffs, with much wider divergences on issues he cares less about like government spending. These, at any rate, are my starting points. Preceding from there, I want to make nine specific predictions that (mostly) follow directly.Related1) Trump will attempt a purge of the federal civil service. If Trump really is serious about his anti-democratic desires for revenge and personal control over the federal government, this is the obvious place to start. I would expect efforts along these lines most notably a revival of the Schedule F executive order to begin relatively swiftly after he takes power.2) Internal conflict will be a major problem for the Trump administration on most policy issues. Trumps first administration was largely riven by divides between Trumpists and the adults in the room. With the latter largely purged, the divides between the Trumpists themselves will take center stage in a second Trump term. And the baseline condition that created an opportunity for the adult faction in 2016 Trumps chaotic management style and disinterest in policy details will create plenty of opportunities for the different factions to work at cross purposes with each other.3) The fate of the tariffs will be a bellwether for these fights but Id expect the pro-tariff side to win. Tariffs are one of Trumps signature policy ideas, but theyre deeply opposed by the faction of the business community that has aligned with him. Theres already been a Washington Post piece reporting some deputies trying to limit the scope of tariffs behind the scenes, a trial balloon Trump has loudly shut down. Given Trumps unusual level of personal investment in the policy here, Id expect him to (mostly) get his way.4) So too will Trumps approach to China and Id expect hawkishness. Theres a lot of noise about Trumps alleged dovishness, and there certainly is a more isolationist strain in the MAGA movement. But in the past, the more aggressive impulses in MAGA have won out impulses that happen to align with the more traditional Republican foreign movement. China policy is a key test here, and I would expect the administration to take a generally confrontational stance.5) Elon Musk will prove less important than he seems. Musk talks a big game, but his Department of Government Efficiency isnt a real department and wields no formal authority. Theres little evidence that Musk understands how Washington works or even has a coherent and stable set of political ideas aside from pursuing his own financial interests. Theres also a very real chance that his huge ego bumps up against Trumps, leading to a messy fight that Trump will almost certainly win. 6) But the superrich as a class will prove more important than they seem. All the focus on Musk personally has distracted from the more mundane influence of his class on the GOP: the way in which they set the tone for the policy on a host of issues ranging from environmental regulation to taxation to anti-trust enforcement. The rich will set the terms for Trump 2s economic policy, with tariffs the exception rather than the rule.7) The GOP anti-corporate turn is likely to peter out. During the first Trump and Biden administrations, there was a lot of right-wing talk about the dangers of woke capital and an attendant Republican turn against corporations. I was always somewhat skeptical that this would persist, and with the business community increasingly bending the knee to Trump, I expect this kind of talk to quietly disappear.8) But the war on wokeness will persist. The culture war is the lowest common denominator expression of the rights binding anti-liberalism. It is the heart of the GOPs current appeal to its base, and will remain a central element of its message in perpetuity. Perhaps the term wokeness will fall out of use, feeling tired in a new era, but the obsessive focus on race, sexuality, gender, and immigration will remain.9) So will support for Israel. While its true that antisemitic bigots like Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes have recently become more prominent in the GOP, support for Israel remains an extremely popular cause among most mainstream Republicans. And far-right movements around the world have developed a model of being pro-Israel while simultaneously threatening Jews at home, a model that Trump himself followed in his first term. If Israel takes even more aggressive steps in the coming years like resettling Gaza or annexing parts of the West Bank Id expect the Trump administration largely to get on board.Youve read 1 article in the last monthHere at Vox, we're unwavering in our commitment to covering the issues that matter most to you threats to democracy, immigration, reproductive rights, the environment, and the rising polarization across this country.Our mission is to provide clear, accessible journalism that empowers you to stay informed and engaged in shaping our world.

Youre not imagining it: An unusually large number of Americans are barfing these days.Ninety-one norovirus outbreaks were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the first week of December (shown in the orange line in the chart below), the latest week for which data is available. Thats more than have been reported at this time of year at any time since 2012.The viral stomach bug, which causes intense but blessedly short episodes of vomiting and diarrhea with or without a brief period of fever, chills, and body aches normally spreads in the wintertime and recedes in warmer months. This years uptick has been more ferocious than usual, with more outbreaks bubbling up earlier than in pandemic years (shown in the blue lines) and pre-pandemic years (which fall within the gray-shaded area).Additionally, at the end of December, nearly 23 percent of people were testing positive for norovirus at a sampling of clinical laboratories across the country an extraordinarily high proportion, way above the typical peak of 10 to 15 percent.The CDCs figures, while useful for comparing patterns year to year, are a significant underestimate of real-world norovirus spread, says Lee-Ann Jaykus, a North Carolina State University microbiologist who directs NoroCORE, a food virology collaboration among multiple federal agencies. The numbers are really ish-y, she says. The norovirus outbreak data comes from a 14-state sampling not the entire US and the agency doesnt count individual norovirus cases. Many people dont seek medical care for symptoms, and even if they do, norovirus isnt a disease that doctors and laboratories are required to report when they diagnose it.Experts say they dont think the trend is just a result of more people seeking care for symptoms this year. I do think that there is an increase in medically attended visits and infections, so the increase is real and not just increased testing, Baylor College of Medicine norovirus researcher Robert Atmar wrote in an email to Vox. The best way to protect yourself during this seasons norovirus surge is to wash your damn hands: Norovirus is primarily spread when traces of a sick persons poop or vomit sneak into our mouths via our hands or food theyve prepared. However, the virus also spreads through aerosols that hang around after someone barfs, so its also good to take precautions if youre around someone who has come down with the bug.Why are norovirus levels so high right now?Norovirus has been peaking at higher-than-usual levels since the pandemic. Thats probably related to the fact that immunity to the virus only lasts somewhere around a couple of years. Norovirus levels dropped during the pandemic due to more masking, more social distancing, and more careful hand and surface hygiene and by the time people dropped those behaviors, there was less population-wide protection from the virus. That may explain why the US saw more outbreaks in post-pandemic years than in pre-pandemic years.My first thought was, Gee, do we have a new variant?But this years rise is earlier and higher than even the past few years trends. Why is this season so bad? My first thought was, Gee, do we have a new variant? says Jaykus. In past years, new norovirus variants have been associated with spikes in global infections. While the CDCs genetic analyses of circulating noroviruses havent yet shown any dramatic changes this season, the possibility of a new strain is top of mind for many experts.I can guarantee you that my colleagues at the CDC are doing a lot of sequencing now to figure out if there is a new strain, but its too early to say that there is, says Jaykus. (A CDC spokesperson confirmed that reported outbreaks this season have exceeded both recent and pre-pandemic numbers.)How to protect yourself from norovirus, or care for yourself if you get the ickHand-washing, careful surface cleaning, keeping a distance from actively sick people, and masking if theres a chance someone recently barfed in your vicinity are the best ways to prevent the spread of this nasty infection. If you do get infected with this very gnarly bug, take some small comfort in the fact that it usually goes away almost as quickly as it comes on.Staying hydrated is key: While nauseated, sip water or an electrolyte drink every 15 to 30 minutes, and if you feel like lying down afterward, prop yourself up to reduce reflux. Theres no need to slam a liter of fluid at a time; you just want to get enough in to produce some urine at least every six hours. Wait until you have an appetite to start eating solids, and start with bland foods like bananas and dry toast.Alcohol-based sanitizer doesnt kill norovirus all that well, so clean your hands with soap and water. And clean shared surfaces with a bleach-based product only a few virus particles are needed to cause infection, and it can live for weeks on surfaces, so be as thorough as you can.If you develop bloody diarrhea, you cant keep enough fluids down to make some urine, or your symptoms last longer than three days, its time to seek medical care.Otherwise, thank your lucky stars its over, and keep washing those hands: People often shed norovirus for weeks after that first spectacular bathroom moment.A norovirus vaccine is probably a few years awayTo healthy people, a norovirus infection translates to some truly miserable bathroom moments, but it isnt usually deadly. However, the virus can be life-threatening to babies and older adults, and scientists worldwide have been working to develop a vaccine aimed at dampening the infections worst effects.Several companies are trying to develop norovirus vaccines using both mRNA vaccine technology and more conventional vaccine development strategies, with varying levels of success. HilleVax stopped working on a candidate vaccine after it proved ineffective in a recent trial, Moderna is in the late stages of developing an mRNA vaccine against the virus, and Vaxart is studying several oral pill vaccine candidates, which have been only moderately effective at blunting symptoms. It hasnt been an easy road, says Jaykus, who has advised pharmaceutical companies on potential applications of norovirus vaccines. There are literally hundreds of [norovirus] strains, she says, and the Food and Drug Administration wants a vaccine that will protect people from most if not all of them. Additionally, manufacturers have found it challenging to create a vaccine whose protection lasts longer than a few years.It will probably be at least three to five years before a norovirus vaccine is available to the narrowest slice of the population likely babies, says Jaykus. After all, young children are not only among those worst affected by severe stomach bugs, but theyre also most responsible for spreading the virus to the rest of us. They dont wash their hands as regularly or thoroughly as adults do, and theyre in each others faces all the time.Older adults, especially those in nursing homes, would take next priority because of how much severe illness norovirus causes in that population. The rest of us will have to wait even longer for a shot to protect us from the dreaded stomach bug.Youve read 1 article in the last monthHere at Vox, we're unwavering in our commitment to covering the issues that matter most to you threats to democracy, immigration, reproductive rights, the environment, and the rising polarization across this country.Our mission is to provide clear, accessible journalism that empowers you to stay informed and engaged in shaping our world.
