NEW: Uber has confirmed 24,000 (!) physical assaults or threatened assaults on drivers from 2017-2020.

I did an experiment on TikTok today… I started a new account and only liked videos defending Amber Heard. When I got onto the FYP, i was served plenty of Depp/Heard videos, but nearly all of them were anti-Amber or pro-Johnny Depp videos

SERIOUS FACE is out today! I hope you’ll find these essays meaningful and bizarrely life-affirming--that they'll leave you feeling slightly more grateful for the messiness of our world. Because that's the effect writing them has had on me. https://t.co/9LK1moUorG

BREAKING: @LACoSheriff says he is investigating @latimes reporter @AleneTchek in connection with a leak of information, displaying a photo of her at today’s newser. This is an extraordinary escalation in the sheriff’s attack not only on the paper but also on the First Amendment.

We researched some of the biggest Facebook groups promoting the Canadian trucker protest before they were shut down yesterday, and noticed something was a bit off.

The only individual admin running some of the most active groups was one woman in Missouri. Or so it seemed.🧵⤵️

UPDATE: Life360 announced that it will stop selling users’ precise location data.

Amazon doesn’t consistently disclose which products are company brands or exclusives.

So this Cyber Monday, we decided to add some transparency for Amazon shoppers.
