22 | European mobile carriers may try to block advertising on smartphones, according to an exclusive in The Financial Times. Carriers have reportedly installed ad-blocking software from a company called Shine in their data centers. The software would block ads on websites but not social networks. That's bad for Google, which makes nearly all its revenue from online ads but has ad-free social network. The plan may offer ad blocking as an opt-in service, or they may decide to simply implement automatically. | http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7010ae7a-f4c6-11e4-8a42-00144feab7de.html | ||||

29 | Reddit announced new harassment policies yesterday. The new policies represent a big change for Reddit, which traditionally has been a free speech zone where just about anything goes. The changes were spearheaded by the current Reddit CEO Ellen Pao, who is best known as the woman who sued her former employer, the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, for sexual harassment. | http://www.bustle.com/articles/83400-reddit-unveils-anti-harassment-policy-with-a-purposely-vague-definition-of-the-term | ||||
30 | Abby Johnston is a political reporter who writes for several publications, and she wrote about Reddit for Bustle. Q: How does the new policy work. What has changed? Q: What caused this change. Is it by popular demand, or pressure from the media? Q: How does Reddit now deal with reports of harassment? Q: Has Reddit published criteria for deletion and banning ? Q: If Reddit is really serious about harassment, why are super offensive subreddits still allowed? Coontown GasTheKikes | Abby Johnston Journalist @ajohnston12 | ||||

60 | Belgium has joined the European chorus of criticism about Facebook's privacy policies. The country's privacy watchdog said Facebook treats user privacy with contempt and that Facebook has failed to cooperate with regulators. Facebook claims that it has only to obey Irish law and rules, because that's where Facebook's European headquarters are. | http://www.wsj.com/articles/belgian-watchdog-slams-facebooks-privacy-controls-1431685985 | ||||

Google has built 25 of the cars, which can't go faster than 25 miles per hour. When the new cars hit the road, Google also plans a new web site to get public input about their tests. They'll also use the site to report on the ongoing project. | http://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/self-driving-vehicle-prototypes-on-road.html | ||||

84 | We told you yesterday that a Hedge fund called Standard General bought the RadioShack trademark. Now Apple has filed a motion in court to block the sale of personal data about RadioShack customers who bought iPhones and other Apple products.

85 | We told you yesterday about a report on Fortune says Apple is running into problems with its HomeKit. The article said it had been delayed from an expected launch next month to later in the year -- possibly August or September. But Apple responded to that story yesterday by saying the story isn't true. They said HomeKit had been available for months, they have dozens of partners and that HomeKit-compatible accessories will go on sale next month. * * * | |||||

141 | Remember when Newsweek destroyed its own reputation by publishing a cover story unmasking Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin? It was a great story. It also turned out to be false -- they identified the wrong guy. Well now The New York Times is taking a crack at it. The paper published a long story today claiming that a guy named Nick Szabo might -- just might -- be the real Satoshi Nakamoto. | http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/17/business/decoding-the-enigma-of-satoshi-nakamoto-and-the-birth-of-bitcoin.html | ||||
