Court finds algorithm bias studies don’t violate US anti-hacking law
[ad_1] Bates observed that many sites’ terms of service (which are frequently buried, cryptic or both) didn’t provide a good-enough notice to make people criminally liable, and that it’s problematic for private sites to define criminal liability.

UK internet providers will lift data caps during COVID-19 pandemic
[ad_1] Telecoms will have to provide “alternative methods of communication” if the outbreak prevents repairs to landlines.

Dropbox beta for Mac can finally sync your desktop

Amazon offers warehouse workers higher pay to handle Prime Now groceries
[ad_1] A spokesperson described the hikes as “temporary opportunities” meant to reflect a “significant increase” in grocery orders. It wasn’t clear when Amazon expected the pay offer to come to an end. It won’t be surprising if this lasts for a while, regardless of how long the coronavirus outbreak continues.

[ad_1] In 2018, several internet services decided to pull channels from Alex Jones and his Infowars setup, including YouTube and Apple’s App Store, but until now the company’s app remained available via the Google Play Store.
