Instagram insists 'bug' that negatively affected Joe Biden was 'not partisan'

by Biz Stick on August 5, 2020

Look, just because a so-called Instagram “bug” benefits President Donald Trump and hurts Democratic nominee and political rival Joe Biden does not mean it’s partisan. And, if you dare to suggest otherwise, then get ready for Instagram to jump down your throat.  At issue is Instagram’s “related hashtags” feature which shows hashtags supposedly related to whatever hashtag a user has clicked on. However, as the Tech Transparency Project — a research initiative of the nonprofit … Read the rest

Americans are totally overwhelmed by the news

by Biz Stick on August 4, 2020

Americans say they’re overwhelmed by the flood of news on the internet. And that’s causing some people — especially conservatives — to tune much of it out.
