Heads-Up: Google is removing the “Secure” indicator for secure websites from the Chrome browser

Posted on May 21, 2018

If you’re like me you’ve probably grown used to seeing the green “Secure” indicator in the address bar when you visit a secure website with the Chrome web browser.

That simple word “Secure” and green padlock gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling about the websites I visit because I know that any information I might supply to them will be encrypted before it’s transmitted across the Internet to their server.

Well, here’s a little heads-up: Google will soon be eliminating that comforting “Secure” designation from Chrome.  [Read more…]

How to change your Twitter password

Posted on May 7, 2018

As you probably know by now, Twitter recently announced that a glitch has caused every Twitter user’s password to (possibly) be leaked to hackers.

In order to mitigate any damage caused by the data leak Twitter has strongly recommended that all users change the passwords on their accounts right away.

Since that announcement was made I’ve received several requests for instructions for resetting the password on Twitter. That got me to thinking that maybe I should write those instructions up in a blog post.  [Read more…]

Facebook confirms their “Does this post contain hate speech?” messages were a test (that went very wrong)

Yesterday Facebook started testing a new way to combat “hate speech” on their platform and I wrote a post explaining why I think it’s a very bad idea.

Some folks believed the strange “Does this post contain hate speech?” question that was displayed on every post in some users’ newsfeeds was simply a glitch and not something that Facebook was really testing.

Well, it was indeed a real test, but it was apparently rolled out prematurely and it quickly went off the rails.  [Read more…]

Posted on May 1, 2018

As you surely already know, the opinions and attitudes of Facebook users vary widely.

After all, with 1.5 billion users there are going to be people expressing opinions that don’t exactly match with those of other users.

Unfortunately, some of the views expressed in the posts, memes and videos can be quite offensive to some users.

But at what point does a post cross the line into what is commonly referred to nowadays as “hate speech”?

Well, Facebook has come up with a plan to find out, and they want you to help!

Starting today, some users are now seeing this question on every post that shows up in their newsfeed:  [Read more…]

Facebook warns that more ‘Cambridge Analytica’ style data breaches are likely to be announced

Posted on May 1, 2018

As a public company, Facebook is required to submit a current financial report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) once every 90 days.

Each of those quarterly reports are required to include anything that could possibly affect the value of the company’s stock in a negative way.

Well, Facebook’s most recent quarterly report is warning investors that they’re expecting to discover additional data breaches similar to the Cambridge Analytica breach that’s been all over the news of late.  [Read more…]
