On Saturday 14 May, an 18-year-old man walked into a supermarket in Buffalo and shot 13 people, killing 10 . A few days before carrying out the killings, the shooter published a 180-page manifesto on Google Docs detailing his motives, which were largely racist and antisemitic in nature. Similarly to Brenton Tarrant , who massacred 51 people and injured 40 others at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019, the Buffalo shooter attributed the views which caused him to carry out the killings to 4chan ; an online message board-based forum where users are able to post completely anonymously and with very little in the way of oversight or restrictions. 4chan, along with similar websites like 8chan – another anonymous forum which has also been cited by mass shooters – have a reputation for attracting the absolute human detritus of the internet. Their refusal to provide oversight to their users predictably result in them becoming hotbeds of neo-Nazi rhetoric, … [Read more...] about Want unfettered free speech?

Worcester 16 Saracens 38 Max Malins produced another scintillating all-round display to raise his prospects of securing a seat on the England plane to Australia this summer. Malins stole the limelight at Sixways on a day when Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola also showed they are relishing the fight for more silverware with Saracens. Mark McCall's side swept aside Warriors with ease in a six try performance where they did not need to hit top gear. They edged closer to a home play-off semi-final, and can do just that with a win over Northampton in three weeks time. More imminent is a European Challenge Cup visit to Gloucester on Friday night and with Malins and his team-mates in this kind of form it would be a brave man to bet against one or two more trophies coming there way this season. Malins, 25, will be hoping his end-of-season sparkle can catch the eye of Eddie Jones again and that he can add to his 14 caps in the Tests with the Wallabies in July. Saracens are starting to … [Read more...] about Max Malins bolsters England tour hopes with four tries as Saracens power on

For the past three years, England women have been reaping the fruits of professionalism. Gone are the days of combining jobs as firefighters, vets and plumbers with gruelling training schedules.

Google has hired the founder of the world’s most controversial chat site, apparently to help with the successors to Google+ . 4chan founder Christopher Poole, better known as “Moot”, will be joining the search giant apparently to advise on its new social products. Mr Poole left 4chan last year, 12 years after founding the site at 15. Mr Poole’s creation, 4chan, was established as a way for Manga fans to chat and would go on to create many of the most popular parts of internet culture. But it was also regularly criticised for offensive and malicious jokes that were most famously seen in the response to the leak of naked pictures of celebrities in 2014. Now Google has confirmed that Mr Poole will go on to work with Bradley Horowitz, a Google engineer who leads streams, photos and sharing . That is Google’s names for the products that were spun out of Google+ — the social network that had trouble taking off and has since been swapped for individual products. … [Read more...] about 4chan founder ‘Moot’ joins Google, says he will bring experience from founding controversial site to search giant
