Uneven Enforcement of Hate Speech Rules Allows Vile Posts to Stay Up
… We asked Facebook to explain its decisions
on a sample of 49 items, sent in by people who maintained that
content reviewers had erred, mostly by leaving hate speech up, or in
a few instances by deleting legitimate expression. In 22 cases,
Facebook said its reviewers had made a mistake. In 19, it defended
the rulings. In six cases, Facebook said the content did violate its
rules but its reviewers had not actually judged it one way or the
other because users had not flagged it correctly, or the author had
deleted it. In the other two cases, it said it didn’t have enough
information to respond.
Something for my Computer Security Managers in

Are
you a 'cyberloafer'? Experts warn employees are spending over two
hours a day slacking off online - and say it's causing major security
risks
…
My research group's new study shows this practice of using work
computers for personal internet browsing can become a serious
security threat to a company when it goes too far.
Most companies accept that
their employees will occasionally check social media or send personal
emails from work computers. But in some cases things can get more
serious, with people people spending significant amounts of time
updating their own websites, watching videos or even pornography.
Governments don’t do IT very well.
Get a
pencil: California marijuana-tracking system not used
California’s legal pot economy was supposed to
operate under the umbrella of a vast computerized system to track
marijuana from seed to storefronts, ensuring that plants are followed
throughout the supply chain and don’t drift into the black market.
But recreational cannabis sales began this week
without the computer system in use for pot businesses. Instead, they
are being asked to document sales and transfers of pot manually,
using paper invoices or shipping manifests. That raises the
potential that an unknown amount of weed will continue slipping into
the illicit market, as it has for years.
… The state Department of Food and
Agriculture, which is overseeing the tracking system, said in a
statement it was “implemented” Tuesday. However, it conceded
that growers and sellers are not required to use it yet and training
on how to input data will be necessary before it becomes mandatory,
apparently later in the year.

Shake It
Off: Despite Negative Press, Taylor Swift's Reputation Tour Could Be
One of the Biggest of All Time
Taylor
Swift is on track to chart one of the highest-grossing tours of
all time, with projections that she could sell $450 million worth of
tickets on her Reputation stadium tour which kicks off this summer.
Swift is using a strategy deployed by Jay-Z
and bands like The
Rolling Stones – price tickets high and have seats available on
the primary market up until the day of show. That means few, if any,
early sellouts but huge revenues, as tickets, especially premium
seats, are marked up much higher than previous tours. While several
recent stories have warned of poor ticket sales – including a New
York Post article this morning – those close to Swift say
the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer sold $180 million worth of
tickets in the first seven days of sales
