The Making of a YouTube Radical

The Making of a YouTube Radical

Justin T. Gellerson for The New York Times

Over years of reporting on internet culture, I’ve heard countless versions of Mr. Cain’s story: an aimless young man — usually white, frequently interested in video games — visits YouTube looking for direction or distraction and is seduced by a community of far-right creators. It suggests that YouTube may have played a role in steering Mr. Cain, and other young men like him, toward the far-right fringes. During 2017, Mr. Cain began watching more videos from left-wing

Includes views of YouTube channels Mr. Cain viewed 10 times or more between mid-2015 and late 2018.

10 Years Jail for Buying, Selling, Mining Crypto-Currency in India: New Bill

10 Years Jail for Buying, Selling, Mining Crypto-Currency in India: New Bill

The Banning of Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2019, on its way to the Indian Parliament for debate and possible legislation, seeks to impose a stunning 10-year imprisonment as penalty for any person or business found buying, selling, holding, or mining crypto-currency in India. Violations of this Act will also be treated as “cognizable” and “non-bailable,” meaning that the accused cannot seek bail, anticipatory or in custody, while their case is being taken up by India’s criminal-justice system.A Cognizable Offense under Indian law, is comparable to a Felony under U.S. law, and some of the most heinous crimes, such as homicide and rape, are classified as these. The Indian Government has reportedly taken this step to clamp down on rampant tax-evasion, “hawala” money transfers (illegal money transfers disconnected from the banking system), and financing of terrorism, drug-trade, and social unrest by foreign NGOs and eco-terrorists.

Many pesticides that have been banned or are being phased out in the EU, Brazil and China, are still widely used in the USA, according to a study published in the open access journal Environmental Health. Donley identified pesticides that are approved for outdoor agricultural use in the USA and compared them to pesticides approved in the EU, China and Brazil. Donley said: “These findings suggest that the USA utilizes voluntary, industry-initiated cancellation as the primary method of prohibiting pesticides, which is different from the non-voluntary, regulator-initiated cancellations / bans that are predominant in the EU, Brazil and China.”

TV meteorologist objected to management’s ‘code red’ orders

TV meteorologist objected to management’s ‘code red’ orders

Crain criticized Sinclair Broadcast Group’s initiative to implement mandatory “code red” days in their affiliates’ forecasts. Meteorologists at local stations under Sinclair’s auspices are encouraged — or at times, forced — into declaring code red days, the decision often made by management. “I take my job seriously and my responsibility to the public,” lamented Crain, clearly upset that code red days have taken a toll on the credibility he spent a decade and a half earning from viewers.
