Why Facebook Just Launched Its Own ‘Dark Web’ Site – ““No, you’re not anonymous to Facebook when you log in, but this provides a huge benefit for users who want security and privacy,” says Runa Sandvik, a former Tor developer who Facebook credits with advising the project in a blog post. “You get around the censorship and local adversarial surveillance, and it adds another layer of security on top of your connection.””

Is New York’s Latest Graffiti Crackdown Backfiring? – “Since 5Pointz, Cohen said he’s noticed intensified bombing in Long Island City.

In neighboring Woodside, graffiti complaints have skyrocketed by 120 percent since this time last year.”
P. MORRIS, BELOVED – You can listen to this album with another person who has their webcam on, cool idea, except that we don’t trust webcams these days, cover them and have stickers on them.
The woman who made a video about catcalling is already getting rape threats – “The response to Roberts’s video is so offensive because it is, again, so familiar. Rape and death threats have become a standard response to any woman who dares to speak out on the internet about, well, anything. Look at #Gamergate. Look at Emma Watson.”

The Laborers Who Keep Dick Pics and Beheadings Out of Your Facebook Feed – “Constant exposure to videos like this has turned some of Maria’s coworkers intensely paranoid. Every day they see proof of the infinite variety of human depravity. They begin to suspect the worst of people they meet in real life, wondering what secrets their hard drives might hold.”

But there is a dark side to this gospel of digitalisation when it is closely aligned with financial motives” It’s by that Evgeny Morozov douche, but he does draw some interesting connections here.
I Have Seen The Tops of Clouds – “We are diseased and angry and we kill each other and ourselves and all the world. We are killing off life on Earth like a slow moving asteroid. I try to look at this, and my own part in it. Sometimes it is overwhelming. I feel so powerless trying to comprehend all the terrible things we face, much less get past them into our future, with our humanity and our inconceivably beautiful little blue-green planet preserved.” But dear Quinn, how, if that top of the clouds image does not quite cut it for me, can I keep living after reading all the depressing stuff in this article? Just joking, or am I?
