Quibi leaked users' emails to Google, Facebook, and Twitter

Image
Mobile streaming service Quibi is less than a month old, but it's already shoving its sticky little fingers where they don't belong.  A new report by Victory Medium researcher Zach Edwards has revealed Quibi leaked user's signup emails to multiple third-party advertisers, including Google, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter.  In order to create a Quibi account, new users were asked to provide an email address to which the company would send a confirmation link. However, unbeknownst to said users, clicking the link sent their email address to third-party advertisers and analytics companies in plain text. Read more...

Bartenders Name The Best Bourbons To Drink While Watching The ‘Virtual Kentucky Derby’

Image
Getty/Uproxx We’re living in some very strange times. We’re stuck in our homes for the foreseeable future, professional sports are pretty much locked in a holding pattern, and large gatherings are completely out of the question. Major events like the Olympics and state fairs have either been moved or canceled outright. This includes this weekend’s Kentucky Derby . Usually taking place on the first Saturday of May, the Kentucky Derby has been run 145 times. The last time it was postponed (it’s currently slated for September 5th) was 1945 — that gives you some idea of how serious the cancellation is. In an attempt to keep the derby spirit alive, NBC is broadcasting a virtual race using computer-simulated horses this Saturday at 12 pt / 3 et . If you’d rather not watch some computer horses running around an animated track, Old Forester is also hosting a derby, using turtles instead of horses on Saturday night (yes, really). Either way, both events can only be made better by b...

Reddit VP: 'Ya, we f*cked up.'

Image
Reddit botched the rollout of a new feature that could have endangered some vulnerable users — and now it is eating crow. On Wednesday, Reddit announced that it was initiating a limited rollout of a new group chat feature called "Start Chatting" that would allow subreddit members to speak directly with each other in chatrooms. It was originally positioned as a way for Redditors to connect with people during COVID-19 social distancing. The problem? Not only was there no way for communities to opt out of the feature, but moderators also would not be able to, well, moderate them. In the over 1,500 comments to the original announcement, many mods quickly pointed out that this made the chat function ripe for abuse by trolls. Read more...
