The sun shining in the window of this patisserie made these pastries look especially good. I haven’t bought one in years although I do love them. Don’t think this doesn’t mean I don’t eat swe...

Social media CEOs hedge on whether they’d boot the 12 anti-vax ‘super spreaders’ cited by states’ attorneys general

On Wednesday, a coalition of a dozen state attorneys general called on Facebook and Twitter to step up their enforcement of their community guidelines to curtail the spread of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on their platforms.

This feature will allow users to create new content using their...

The app will soon get a ‘drafts’ feature that’ll let you save your Stories within Instagram, so as you can edit them later. The social network’s head, Adam Mosseri, tweeted yesterday that Story drafts are ...
