When you do a GoDaddy domain search for a new GoDaddy Domain, GoDaddy is currently offering a “Buy a new domain, get the first year for a penny with a 2 year registration” promotion. Only, at least for some people, when you register that new GoDaddy domain for two years and then go to check out, that first year is actually being charged at full price, with no way to reduce the charge to a penny. And when their feet are held to the fire about it, GoDaddy agents trot out a scripted reply that is, as we in the biz say, BS. So be very careful when you are checking out when purchasing a new GoDaddy domain, and double check the prices if you think that you are getting two years for the price of one year plus a penny.

Meta (c’mon, who is going to stop calling it Facebook? How about ‘MetaBook’ or ‘FaceMeta’?) says that they will stop using facial recognition, and will remove more than 1billion individual’s face recognition templates. This coming as, we are sure, heightened scrutiny when it comes to privacy in general, and facial recognition in particular, leads to Facebook Meta seeing the handwriting on the wall, and that handwriting says “there be potential lawsuits”.

Anyone who uses the Internet was aware of the big Facebook outage yesterday, October 4th, 2021. Of course, it didn’t just affect Facebook; WhatsApp and Instagram were down too. Here’s what happened, according to Facebook. That this system-wide, multi-hour outage came on the heels of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen revealing, among other things, that (she alleges) Facebook knew that the service was being used to facilitate human trafficking, knew that the Instagram platform was contributing to poor body image among teenaged girls, and intentionally was eliciting angry responses from Facebook users seems to be pure coincidence, at least if Facebook’s engineers are to be believed.

Facebook and Facebook companies WhatsApp and Instagram are currently experiencing a massive outage, and all three sites and services are down and unreachable. We are reporting this on Monday, 10/4/2021. According to our sources, this is the result of a failure in DNS resolving as it should.

Research recently released by Instagram supports claims that the social media site contributes to poor body image among teenaged girls and boys. The results of the studies, commissioned by and released this week by Instagram itself (well, parent company Facebook) suggest, rather than, as they claim, refute the claims made recently that Instagram leads an appreciable percentage of teen girls (in particular) to feel badly about their bodies and themselves.

If you came across a setting on Pinterest to either “Allow new takes” or to not allow new takes, you can be forgiven for not having any idea what the heck Pinterest “new takes” are, let alone whether you should allow them. As it happens, Takes (just ‘Takes’, not “new Takes”) are a new concept at Pinterest.

Talk about cherry picking! An international Internet crime gang is gaining access to as many as 100,000 compromised email inboxes a day, and all they are doing is searching for and stealing digital gift cards and rewards points.

In what is the second-largest GDPR fine to date, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission announced today that they have fined Facebook subsidiary WhatsApp €225million, or the equivalent of $267,198,750.00 USD, for several gross violations of GDPR (the General Data Protection Regulation in effect in the EU, as well as the UK since the UK’s ICO adopted it’s own “UK GDPR” following Brexit).

Some version of “Spider Man breaks web” is all over the news today. “Spider-Man breaks the web,” said ABC. “Fans Break the Internet After ‘Spider-Man 3’ Trailer Leaks” says Inside the Magic. “No Way Home breaks the web with the official trailer,” says Celeb Mix. “Marvel Breaks the Internet with Release of Spider-Man,” says Epic Stream; and “Spider-Man breaks the web” echoes Yahoo News.

A massive security breach at T-Mobile has exposed the personal private data of nearly 50million T-Mobile customers and prospects, including social security numbers and drivers license numbers. And it doesn’t matter whether you are a current, past, or even prospective customer of T-Mobile, your data has been compromised. By “prospective” we mean someone who has applied for an account with T-Mobile even if they never actually signed up. And that is because the T-Mobile data breach includes those social security numbers which are, of course, required for just about every service that is going to extend credit to you.
