Parler officially offline after Amazon enforces the community standards clause of its contract removing the site for not taking down at least 98 posts containing calls to violence. Amazon Web Services actions are the enforcement of its contract, not a violation of free speech. Calls to violence are not classified as free speech and are not protected under the first amendment. If had removed the posts in question and met Amazon's community standards, the site would still be live with no violation of anyone's first amendment rights.

Congratulations, Facebook for taking a stand. Whether or not you agree with their decision, Facebook is doing what users and critics have been asking it to do for months, take a stand on what speech goes on its platform.

“We believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, said.

The WTA & ATP have suspended play on their tours through June 8, and frozen ranking points through that time. It is the right thing to do. The ATP's full statement along with my response to it on the ATP site are below.

The ATP & WTA are doing the right thing here, and I applaud them. Ever since the cancellation of Indian Wells many, including myself have called for the ranking's to be frozen. Rankings are meant to reflect the player's performance during a tournament/season. Rankings should not change because tournaments are not played and points fall off with no chance to defend them.

This decision is also the tours answer to the French Open's unilateral decision to move to September a week after the US Open. The tours will not deduct the points from the 2019 French Open so it is unlikely they will offer points for the rescheduled 2020 version. With no points on offer players can concentrate on the regularly scheduled tour events that will offer points, should they be played. I love clay court tennis and will miss not seeing any play on the surface this year, chances are they will be no grass or Wimbledon either. I and every other tennis fan look forward to seeing the American hard courts and indoor fall season being played.

After careful consideration, and due to the continuing outbreak of COVID-19, all ATP and WTA tournaments through 23 May 2020 in the Spring clay-court swing will not be held as scheduled. This includes the combined ATP/WTA tournaments in Madrid and Rome, along with the WTA events in Strasbourg and Ra...

Encouraging news for my fellow writers, just because The New York Times pans your book does not mean it won't be a classic someday. They admit as much in this great article.

We called “Sister Carrie” a book “one can get along very well without reading,” dismissed “Lolita” as “dull, dull, dull,” and had nothing nice to say about “Howards End.”

Don’t know what’s funnier here the display at the Tynwald Mills or the customers reaction to it. Either way this is on of the funnier holiday stories I’ve seen. Let me know what you think. Happy two days before Thanksgiving everyone. BBC News

Pictures of the amorous animals on display in a shopping centre have been shared widely on social media.

Can you spot the fake Facebook ad, and what criteria do you use? Very interesting piece in the The New York Times. I picked out the fake ad each time but used more technical criteria than Times in making my selection. Interesting technical times we live in.

Facebook has been plagued with disinformation posts placed by foreign operatives. Can you tell the difference between a real post and one designed to fool you?
