DRAFT NUMBER ONE I AM SORRY As a child growing up, I was taught to apologize. One apologized for any number of things, and I recall thinking it was unfair when I had to apologize for something I didn’t do or something I didn’t think was my fault. As I’ve grown older, I’ve said ‘I’m sorry’ for events unrelated to me but where an event or outcome caused distress or pain. Those apologies are an expression of sympathy, a way of saying we care about our fellow human beings. I have been wrestling energetically with the challenge of how to apologize for actions of mine which caused distress to parents, distracted our courageous members of law enforcement and caused long time friends to question my judgment. It is too painful to rehash events which have been prominently featured, if mischaracterized, in our local headlines. I fervently hope it will be acceptable for me to simply offer to the community my apologies for associating with young women who turned out to be under the age of eighteen. While some may question my assertion, I did not know. Truly. And I apologize. Lawyers argue against apologies on the theory that they are an admission of guilt. I disagree. There are now enough facts on the public record for people to make up their own minds. So I hope my apology will be noted and taken as evidence of my concern for my neighbors here in Palm Beach.

Content moderation on WhatsApp is difficult, since the platform’s chats are end-to-end encrypted. But the Digital Witness Lab researchers found 12 instances in which group topics and descriptions contained references to gun sales. This is unencrypted data that WhatsApp can monitor, Mattu said. That it is going unchecked suggests the company isn’t doing even the “most basic thing,” to curb such content, he added.

Screenshot with the following text: We examined 23,631 predictions generated by Geolitica between Feb. 25 to Dec. 18, 2018 for the Plainfield Police Department (PD). Each prediction we analyzed from the company’s algorithm indicated that one type of crime was likely to occur in a location not patrolled by Plainfield PD. In the end, the success rate was less than half a percentage point. Fewer than 100 of the predictions lined up with a crime in the predicted category, that was also later reported to police. Diving deeper, we looked at predictions specifically for robberies or aggravated assaults that were likely to occur in Plainfield and found a similarly low success rate: 0.6 percent. The pattern was even worse when we looked at burglary predictions, which had a success rate of 0.1 percent.
