Binky is an app that does everything an app is expected to do. It’s got posts. It’s got likes. It’s got comments. It’s got the infinitely scrolling timeline found in all social apps, from Facebook to Twitter, Instagram to Snapchat. But none of it is real.
The future is now, or at least it is coming soon. Today's technological developments are looking very much like what once was the domain of science fiction. Maybe we don't have domed cities and flying cars, but we do have buildings that reach to the heavens, and drones that soon could deliver our packages. Who needs a flying car when the self-driving car is just down the road?
It is comforting to note, however, that our era isn’t alone in its bathetic encounters. When most people think of Marcel Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time,” they think of the sublime madeleine scene, in which a bite of the tea-soaked cake conjures memories from the gardens of the narrator’s childhood. But the novel cycle has another pastry-dunking incident that deserves our attention here. It involves Madame Verdurin, a despotic salon hostess who circumvents the rationing laws of the First World War to get the special croissants that, when taken dipped in coffee, supposedly ease her migraines. She is reunited with these medicinal treats on the morning that the newspapers announce the sinking of the Lusitania, a British ocean liner, by a German submarine. Her initial outcry at the news is suitably humane, though she can’t help comparing the disaster (as many people did on witnessing 9/11) to some fictional catastrophe. Proust doesn’t allow Madame Verdurin such pure sympathies, however. His narrator continues:
“Current-affairs news” is a broad term in China and encompasses all news and commentary related to politics, economics, military, foreign affairs and social issues, according to the draft version of China’s online information law. The amended draft of the regulation is currently seeking public feedback on the CAC’s official website.

The public got a rare view into how Facebook tries to keep offensive and dangerous content offline in a report published Sunday. Leaked confidential documents exposed the secret rules by which Facebook polices postings on issues such as violence, hate speech, terrorism, pornography, racism and self-harm, as well as such subjects as sports fixing and cannibalism.
Instagram has reached a milestone of 700 million members while enjoying the fastest-ever growth rate in its history. The network has grown by more than 100 million members in the last four months. Its burgeoning growth can be credited to new features like Stories, live video and disappearing messages, the company said. User engagement with Stories has grown to more than 200 million people per day.
The Cyberspace Administration of China imposed the ban on several major news portals, including Sohu.com Inc. and NetEase Inc., Chinese media reported in identically worded articles citing an unidentified official from the agency’s Beijing office. The companies have “seriously violated” internet regulations by carrying plenty of news content obtained through original reporting, causing “huge negative effects,” according to a report that appeared in The Paper on Sunday.

Welcome to What We Learned This Week, a digest of the most curiously important facts from the past few days. This week: The unspoken cruelty of HGTV, a climber who will give you sweaty palms and why you should never play guitar on a date.
A better word than “monotony” for this chronic mixing of moods would be “bathos,” which describes the deflation or anticlimax that occurs when two opposing tones or registers clash in a work of art. We owe the term to the eighteenth-century English poet Alexander Pope, who coined it in a corrosive treatise called “Peri Bathous; Or, the Art of Sinking.” While Western writers had long been interested in language’s ability to transport the listener or reader to an exalted, sublime plane of experience, Pope saw in the work of his peers a tendency in the opposite direction. Lacking the genius necessary to reach the lofty heights of sublimity, they unintentionally followed “the gentle down-hill way to the Bathos.”
At least 40% of Australian households now have at least one home "Internet of Things" device. These are fridges, window blinds, locks and other devices that are connected to the internet.
The regulator has since tightened its grip on online news reports, such as by warning news or social network websites against publishing news without proper verification. In another sign that the government is exerting influence over information, the publishers of a private purchasing managers index suspended that popular gauge without explanation.
China’s online giants serve content, games and news to hundreds of millions of people across the country -- Tencent’s QQ and WeChat alone host more than a billion users, combined. Online news services however have always operated in a regulatory gray area. They’re not authorized to provide original content and technically aren’t allowed to hire reporters or editors. Still, outlets have recently published investigative stories on official corruption cases, and covered sensitive social issues from demonstrations to human rights. For instance, NetEase ran a feature in April after the party announced an investigation into a senior Hebei provincial official, Zhang Yue. The story was later removed from the internet.

Seven months ago, Brazilian underdogs Chapecoense boarded a plane to play in the game of their lives. Instead, their biggest moment turned into a tragedy no one can forget.
Video footage of a senseless murder in Cleveland, posted after the fact on Facebook Live, has attracted national attention to the role of the platform in criminals' minds. Authorities Tuesday morning announced that Steve Stephens -- the 37-year-old suspect wanted for the cold-blooded shooting of Robert Godwin Sr. -- shot himself to death after a short pursuit by Pennsylvania State Police.
A phishing scam that surfaced earlier this week used Google Docs in an attack against at least 1 million Gmail users. However, that amounted to fewer than 0.1 percent of Gmail users were affected, according to the company. Google last year put the number of active monthly Gmail users at more than 1 billion. Google shut down the phishing scam within an hour, it said.

Internet security at Mar-a-Lago -- the private club President Trump owns and has dubbed the "Southern White House" -- is weak, based on a recent investigation. Trump has used the resort to meet with staffers and foreign heads of state on official business. In February, he took a call about a North Korean ballistic missile launch in Mar-a-Lago's dining room, with members and waiters present.
"While we cannot create this framework alone, it is for government, not private companies, to protect the security of people and ensure the fairness of the rules by which people and businesses abide," the document reads.

The government now appears to be launching a similarly radical change in the way that social networks and internet companies work. While much of the internet is currently controlled by private businesses like Google and Facebook, Theresa May intends to allow government to decide what is and isn't published, the manifesto suggests.
