Pretty please — if you're a commercial driver, I know you need a safe spot to make deliveries, but I respectfully ask that you not use the city's bike infrastructure do it. These poor bikeshare users haul their bikes into the street, which defeats the purpose of a dedicated lane. https://t.co/xwsvKK2L9t — PolitiTweet.org

In imposing the initial restrictions, Facebook at the time designated the incident as a "mass murder" and limited searches and praise "per standard practice in these situations." FB declined to say whether it will revisit that characterization in light of the acquittal. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook says it'll no longer limit users from searching for or praising Kyle Rittenhouse, lifting a policy that was put in place a couple of days after the Kenosha shootings. FB will still block posts celebrating the deaths of those who were killed, says spokesman @andymstone. — PolitiTweet.org

Haugen says Facebook's internal research shows Instagram is "substantially more dangerous" to young girls than even other platforms because it invites "social comparison." E.g. healthy eating content becomes a rabbit hole to anorexia content, she says. — PolitiTweet.org
