Facebook’s former head of Global Elections Integrity Ops left after six months on the job — and now she’s speaking out about the problems she faced when trying to fix the company’s political ad problems.
In an op-ed in the Washington Post on Monday, Yaël Eisenstat, who joined Facebook after working with the CIA and the White House, says she tried to sound the alarm at the company leading up to the 2016 election. Recently, Facebook said it would let politicians lie in ads in the name of “free expression.”
“I didn’t think I was going to change the company,” wrote Eisenstat. “But I wanted to help Facebook think through the very challenging questions of what role it plays in politics, in the United States and around the world, and the best way to ensure that it is not harming democracy.” Read more…

Longtime fans of Chrissy Teigen will remember that before she was a social media star, she was a WordPress food blogger and lowkey chef. Now, after a successful cookbook and line of cookware, Teigen is returning to the kitchen and starting her own website and YouTube cooking channel, Cravings.
On the channel you can watch clips of her family life, her favorite dishes, and flip through cookbooks with her. You can also see Teigen and husband John Legend romp around Italy digging up truffles and exploring one of their favorite cities, Florence. As a whole, the channel feels more Food Network meets HGTV than a YouTube show — but that’s not a bad thing. Read more…

Boomers are doing what they do best: Shouting on the internet.
The youth — and by youth I mean anyone who understands how to rotate a pdf — are firing back at disgruntled Olds with an all-encompassing “OK, Boomer.” The phrase has become a rallying cry for all who’ve had to deal with some old fart complaining about how younger generations are entitled and lazy.
“Teenagers use it to reply to cringey YouTube videos, Donald Trump tweets, and basically any person over 30 who says something condescending about young people — and the issues that matter to them,” New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz explained in an article about the phrase. Read more…

In April 2016, with his granddaughter sitting on his lap, Secretary of State John Kerry signed the historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change. It was a year that would soon become the warmest on record.
Although every nation on Earth is a signatory of the historic pact — which brought together all the world’s countries to combat climate change — one rogue superpower has now officially started the process of withdrawing from the celebrated accord: the U.S.A.
Fulfilling President Trump’s climate-denialist, anti-regulatory campaign promise, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Monday on Twitter the United States’ exit from the Paris pact. This now-imminent withdrawal, however, becomes final in precisely one year — curiously, the day after the 2020 election — and can’t be undone unless a different president (perhaps in 2021, 2025, or later) decides to reverse course.
