This interview is a snapshot into where tech companies are with online harassment right now.
They know how to end it, but they decided not to spend the money. They’re prioritizing growth (and profit) above all else. And they’re blaming YOU for logging on to the platform they designed to be unsafe.

For all the NYT is doing wrong (a lot), this is the brightest spot of real journalism I’ve seen from the outlet.
This is what every journo should be doing with Roblox and every other platform/company/exec with power.
Getting Baszucki to admit he wants kids gambling on his platform is ace work.

For CNN I'm looking to talk to young men (feel free to interpret "young" broadly) who are actively sports betting sober—as in, you made a conscious decision to abstain for your wellbeing or you quit gambling—but are still sports fans. If that's you: Hannah[dot]keyser[at]cnn[dot]com

It’s strange to me that not that long ago the NWSL was quite possibly the premier women’s sports league on the planet and instead of acting like that they are acting like MLS.
DC Power of the Gainbridge Super League have extended an offer for free agent Trinity Rodman that the NWSL can't currently match due to the salary cap.
Jessica Berman: "We want Trinity in the NWSL and we will fight for her."

My newsletter for Assigned went out a little over an hour ago. It was a dissection of the position NYT is in currently, with a reputation in flux between its past as the most serious, respectable, elite paper in America and its present as the paper that asked Ms. Rachel if she was paid by Hamas.
Friendly reminder that the NYT asked Ms Rachel if she was paid by Hamas.
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...
