In Jim Jones' time, many of his followers AVOIDED death by exiting the cult when they had the chance.
The same thing can happen today! If you at one time believed disinformation, it's OKAY to change your mind! This shows growth and maturity. 🙏

Cult leader Jim Jones ordered his followers to drink kool aid laced with CYANIDE. They believed his lies & conspiracy theories. Over 900 people died.
Today, people are drinking a different type of kool-aid:

US law (Section 230) says social media companies can be held accountable for sex trafficking on their platforms.
Today's new report: 59% of online sex trafficking happens on Facebook.

Scoop: Amazon's routing algorithm for its 85,000 delivery drivers pushes them to walk, run & sprint across 50 mph highways & busy commercial streets on foot, as a cost-saving measure. It is very dangerous.
I dug into how this algorithm works:

“While the pact would allow gig workers to vote to form unions … it would codify the nonemployee status of app-based ride hailing and delivery companies drivers. It would also preempt local laws — like New York City’s — that set minimum wages.” jacobinmag.com/2021/05/uber-…

Whereas true sociopathy is still rare, the number of people masquerading as sociopaths is out of control. It's become an actual strategy, part of using deceit and manipulation to pursue power and possessions. Because there is so much selfish enablement and amplification, it works

The premise of the app is 🥱 , it’s monetized Insta polls; what bothers me that some people are ok in a world where they spend $5 to vote on what eyeshadow Ariana Grande wears while others work three jobs and have no health insurance. H/t @hypervisible

“If someone leaves an AirTag near a house that's relatively isolated—meaning there aren't a lot of iPhones around—the owner of the AirTag could figure out when nobody's home.”
The number of security issues with AirTags just keeps growing. vice.com/en_us/article/jg8mv…

After an elite Chinese hacker broke into an iPhone, Chinese intelligence used it virtually overnight as a weapon against a besieged minority ethnic group, striking before Apple could fix the problem. It was a brazen act performed in broad daylight. bit.ly/3hjDQIg

thank you @MorePerfectUS for covering @UMAW_ #JusticeatSpotify and filming me trying to divide 10% of $.01 by 4 lol
NEW: @Spotify is killing the music industry.

Support @UMAW_‘s demand that Spotify pay musicians one cent/stream. Retweet this video with #JusticeAtSpotify.

Three teens died after driving way over the speed limit to capture their speed in a Snapchat filter.
The parents sued Snap, and it was rejected under Section 230. But an appeals court ruled the case should proceed because it’s about platform design, not a user’s post.
