Guilty Pleasure

Summary: Peter and Beck used to be a power couple in the porn industry, but after Beck dumps him, Peter is forced to start over. With no money, no family and nowhere to go, he doesn’t have much choice other than to keep doing porn, so he joins Just4Fans to get back on his feet and then one day he gets a very generous tip from someone under the username of YKWIM. All the warnings listed on Part I apply.

Living with Ned and MJ was both a dream come true and a bit of a nightmare.

A dream, because when they were kids, they always talked about how they would all go the same college and live together one day, and Peter would finally have a real home – and a real family, he used to think to himself, in secret.

A nightmare, because he couldn’t help but feel a little jealous of his friends, and that was the worst kind of feeling to have for the people who opened their arms and their home for him when he needed the most. Still, he couldn’t avoid it and he felt awful for that. They were both attending NYU; Ned was majoring in Computer Science and MJ in Journalism. All according to the plans they made in high school.

When Peter was younger, he made plans, too. He wanted to study Biochemistry, his teachers used to say he could probably get a scholarship to a good college, he was smart enough. Mr. Harrington, his science teacher, even offered to write letters of recommendation for him. Instead, Peter’s life choices led him to his current predicament: a 20 year-old porn actor, selling dirty pictures for a living, crashing on his friends’ couch, not a single dollar in his wallet.

He was definitely not getting any awards for good decision making, that was for sure.

He had been staying with Ned and MJ for a week when he was finally able to set up his Just4Fans account. He knew that had to be a temporary thing, it couldn’t last, even if he wanted it to. He wouldn’t be young forever, let alone a “pretty twink”, as his subscribers loved to call him. He had maybe three or four years left of that hype, at most, then he would be too old for that, and/or people would start getting bored of him. So he had to be smart, the plan was to save up as much as he could while he thought about what he was going to do once the fountain of youth dried up, and the clock was ticking fast.

But for the time being, porn.

Good thing he had his own Instagram account with a few thousand followers. All the other social media accounts were under Beck’s name, and those had hundreds of thousands of followers, but Peter no longer had access to them – he checked. He also checked and noticed that Beck hadn’t announced that they had split up yet, his last post dated from five days earlier, when he released their last video together – two days after kicking him out of the house, the asshole.

So Peter posted a few Instagram stories explaining to his followers that he and Beck weren’t a thing anymore – he didn’t give many details, he didn’t want any drama, specially not with Beck – and that he had set up a Just4Fans account for the time being. In minutes, his Instagram blew up. Apparently, people were either heartbroken over their breakup; relieved he “got rid of that perv!”; or devastated they wouldn’t get to see them doing porn together anymore.

He got a hundred subscribers in just a few hours, which was incredible. The subscription fee was ten dollars a month, so even after the website’s cut plus tax deduction, it still was a good start. He wondered what kind of money Beck made with their videos, because they had thousands of subscribers on their channel.

Once he got the hang of the site, he tried to post at least two sets of pictures a day – which was challenging at that moment, because the apartment was tiny and he didn’t have any outfits or toys with him, they were all at Beck’s. He made plans that as soon as he got the subscription money in around fifteen days, he would try to buy a few things and take tons of pictures to last a few weeks.

He also made sure to answer people’s messages every single day, which often earned him a little more money in tips. It was shocking how many people were willing to tip him just because he answered them. Some other people asked for extra content, like specific pictures, videos or even voice notes, which he sent via “pay-per-view messages”.

In the end, he felt like he was prostituting himself. Again.

He would never judge a person for earning their living in any way necessary, as long as it didn’t hurt anyone, he just never thought that would be him. Never ever. As a kid, he thought he’d be an astronaut. Growing up, he wanted to be a physicist. As a teen, he made plans to study Biochemistry. And somehow he ended up selling his body online, one way or another.

He didn’t dwell on that for long, he focused on the fact that it was temporary. If he managed to retain at least some of the people that had subscribed to his account for two or three years, then he would be able to start a small business of some kind in the future. Maybe he could go back to school. Twenty-three wasn’t too old for college, right?

Right.

It was two weeks later when he got a weird message. Not a weird message, actually, a weird tip. Someone under the username of YKWIM had sent him ten thousand dollars for no reason, there was no prior conversation, nor did the person ask for anything in return. Peter was sure there must have been a mistake, maybe they had typed in some extra zeros or maybe they had sent it to the wrong person, so he decided to reach out.

“Hey. I think there must’ve been some sort of mistake with your last tip. Lol.”

He left his phone on the counter and got started on dinner. He was a terrible cook, but to be fair, they all were, so it was fine. Ned and MJ were both at work, but they would be home soon and they were having a quiet night in. Those few weeks at their place had been good for Peter, it felt nice not to be alone after what happened, but at the same time, he was starting to feel like he really needed his own space. He was already looking for an apartment to move into as soon as he got the money. He was hoping to get one in the same building or at least close by, so that they could still see each other often.

His cell phone beeped as he sliced some onions and he stopped to check.

“Hey, gorgeous. There’s been no mistake, it’s correct.” Peter was taken aback by the answer, so he checked again to see how much the person had tipped him, and sure enough, there it was. Ten thousand dollars. Ten thousand. American dollars.

“Oh. Wow, that was very, very generous of you. Is there any particular content that you’d like to see from me as a thank you? I could send you exclusive pics and videos, whatever you want.” Inwardly, he was thinking that no amount of pictures or videos from him would ever be worth ten thousand dollars. Ten thousand dollars, holy fuck.

“That would be excellent.”

“Great. What would you like to see?”

Please don’t be weird, please don’t be weird, please don’t be weird… Usually, Peter’s subscribers liked to see him in cute outfits or with cute toys, but some people liked very messed up stuff. He usually said no, but that person had just sent him ten thousand dollars. Fuck, that was so much money, it would cover rent for at least a few months.

“I’ve enjoyed everything you’ve put out so far, baby, so surprise me. I’m sure I’m gonna like whatever you send.”

God, generous and reasonable? Had Peter died and gone to porn heaven?

“You flatter me.” He typed in quickly, leaving the sauce unattended for a few seconds. “Give me a few hours to work on it, I don’t want to disappoint you.”

“Take your time, but I don’t think you could disappoint me if you tried.”

Peter felt so stupid when he blushed and giggled to himself, because that was exactly how Beck lured him in when he was seventeen, with charming, easy words. He was an adult now, for Christ’s sake, and he didn’t even know who he was talking to. To be fair, it was probably a woman. For some weird reason, according to his Just4Fans statistics, a surprisingly large percentage of his subscribers were middle-aged, cisgender, heterosexual women. Peter supposed those were the ones who used to follow his “love story” with Beck – most of them hadn’t got over them yet, apparently they were “the perfect couple! So cute!”.

He couldn’t blame them, they sold them the perfect love story. And for a time, it was true. Peter really thought Beck was it for him, the love of his life, his soulmate. He didn’t know at which point it all became an act to Beck – or if maybe it had always been an act.

He sighed, shaking his head, he couldn’t afford to waste time thinking about him, so he focused on what he should send YKWIM.

As he finished making dinner, he tried to come up with ideas. They said they loved everything Peter had posted so far – he had posted thirty pictures and five short clips over the past two weeks. The pictures were all in MJ’s bedroom – she offered –, most of them in her bed. There were only a few pictures in which he was completely naked, in the others he had some sort of underwear on – lingerie or tight briefs.

So, he decided he should do something similar, but different enough that YKWIM would feel somewhat special. He had a few good ideas, but they would have to wait for the next morning, he would need good lighting and privacy.

“Hey, nerd, what’s up,” He almost burned his fingers when he heard MJ’s voice, and realized he had spaced out for a minute there. He shook his head quickly and smiled at her.

“Nothing, how was you day?”

The next morning, once Ned went to visit his family and MJ left for work, Peter started working on the pictures. For some reason, he didn’t want to tell his friends about YKWIM, just like he didn’t want to tell them about Beck when they first met, three years earlier. And if he really was as smart as his teachers used to say, he would have seen the pattern. But as it was, he just focused on the fact that YKWIM was probably a woman living on the other side of the world, who just liked to get off to pictures of pretty boys in lingerie.

But.

For the sake of getting in the mood for the pictures, he imagined YKWIM was a guy. Not too tall, but taller than him. He imagined he had a beard, but not a full one, like Beck’s, no, perfectly trimmed, scratchy, in a good way. He’d have dark, warm eyes, not blue and cold. He’d be older, older than Beck, more mature than him. A real man. Maybe he’d have a few streaks of gray amidst his otherwise dark hair.

He’d be gentle, despite Peter’s past. He’d treat him like he was the first one to ever touch him, even if he knew that was far from the truth. He would be careful, mindful of his pleasure. He’d start off slowly, kissing along his collarbones, fingers brushing the sensitive skin on the inside of his thighs, just shy of where Peter wanted him to touch, as his mouth traveled down his chest; hot, moist breath leaving a trail of kisses down his stomach.

He sighed. Yeah, that would do to put him in the mood.

He put on a white t-shirt that was just long enough to graze the tops of his thighs, and a simple, plain black thong. He decided to take the pictures in the shower – the classic wet, white t-shirt, he couldn’t really go wrong with that. He positioned the camera on top of the bathroom sink, set the timer, and started posing.

First, he rested his back against the wall, one hand pulling the t-shirt down to cover the front his underwear, eyes staring directly at the camera lens as water ran down his face, neck and chest, making his nipples stiffen, becoming visible under the wet shirt.

Next, he pressed his chest to the wall, looking at the camera from over his shoulder, lips parted, just a peek of his exposed ass cheeks showing where the t-shirt ended, but by then it was so wet it was mostly see-through.

Then he turned so his side was facing the camera and stuck his head directly under the stream of water, running his hands through his hair, back arched obscenely, eyes closed. He let his hands travel all the way down his neck, chest, and stomach, hearing the familiar “click” as the camera took several pictures.

He turned around again, placed his hands on the wall and lifted his t-shirt just over his lower back, sticking his ass out, showing off his provocative underwear.

He got out of the shower and turned the camera into filming mode, then got back under the water and also shot a short clip of he sensually and slowly taking the thong off, but in a way that the viewer couldn’t really see the skin that was revealed. He pulled the wet t-shirt down so it covered everything, but by then it was so see-through that it left nothing to the imagination. Peter twirled a little, then threw an innocent, shy smile at the camera.

That should do it.

He finished his shower, put the wet clothes in the washer, then went to edit the pictures. He didn’t do much, just adjusted the light and contrast, then cut them into squares, because he though it looked classier or whatever. He chuckled to himself at the absurdity of that thought, as he attached the photos and the video to a direct message to YKWIM.

“Hey, gorgeous! Hopefully these won’t disappoint. Let me know if you’d like something different.”

He cringed re-reading the message, he thought he sounded desperate and insecure about himself and he supposed that wasn’t very attractive, so he decided to change it just a little.

“Hey, gorgeous! Hopefully these won’t disappoint.” And he finished off with a hot face emoji, because why not.

He sent the message and went on with his day. Ned and MJ were both back for lunch and since none of them felt like cooking – and they all sucked at it anyway –, they ordered something to eat in front of the TV, as they binge-watched the first seasons of The Office.

“Oh, hey, Pete, I almost forgot, I talked to our landlord earlier and he said there’s an apartment on the fifth floor that should be vacated by the end of the month, if you’re interested,” Ned told him around a mouthful of pizza and Peter’s head snapped up.

“I’m definitely interested!”

“Cool, I’ll talk to him for you, I’m sure I can get you a good deal on rent.” He winked, and Peter smiled, feeling hopeful.

Things were getting better. Slowly, yes, but they were. He was spending time with his friends – who he had neglected for the past two years–; he had a good amount of money to withdraw in the next few days, that could get him going for a while; he was still doing porn, yes, but at least he was in control of the whole thing, including his own body, which was nice; and he only cried for Beck every other night instead of every single night, so he had that going for him.

All in all, things were looking up.

Ned and MJ convinced him to go out for a bit in the afternoon, they said he had been cooped up in the apartment for three weeks and should breathe in some fresh air, and since it was the first somewhat warm day of March, they decided to go jog at Central Park in the afternoon. They didn’t really jog, but they walked around some and Peter must admit that it felt good to stretch his legs and feel the sun on his skin for a change.

They were lying on the grass, resting for a bit, when they saw a blur of red and gold fly overhead. People started cheering and clapping and Peter smiled when MJ groaned, because he knew exactly what she was going to say.

“How can people cheer for that guy, he’s an egocentric, misogynistic, elitist, disgusting asshole.” He laughed to himself, because he knew what came next.

“He’s a genius, he changed the world multiple times and he even saved it at least twice. I think he’s pretty cool,” Ned argued without any heat and Peter could hear MJ rolling her eyes.

Peter didn’t love or hate Tony Stark or Iron Man, like most people, he just – didn’t pay him any mind. Sure, when he was a kid, he was obsessed with him, he was New York’s first superhero after Captain America, who was still in the ice when Stark announced he was Iron Man. But as he grew older, he had other concerns in mind other than who was the coolest Avenger, so he kind of forgot they existed, except for when there was some crazy alien threat looming over New York City – which was, like, a biannual thing since they found out aliens existed back in 2012.

The fact that Iron Man was flying over Central Park on a Saturday afternoon was a little alarming though. From what Peter knew, Stark was mostly retired since around 2016, he only ever “avenged” when there was a big threat, like the near-end-of-the-world they had back in 2018.

“Do you think we’re under attack?” Peter asked and Ned shook his head calmly.

“Nah, I think he must be late for something. I read an interview recently and he said he uses the suit sometimes when he needs to get some place fast.”

Seemed like overkill, but who was Peter to judge, he would probably do the same if had a suit like that.

They spent the rest of the afternoon in the park and then headed home for the night. MJ turned in early, she said she was beat from a busy week, and Peter and Ned stayed up until a little later, re-watching Star Wars movies. It was close to 2AM when Ned said his goodnight and Peter went to check his Just4Fans, because he hadn’t answered any messages all day long.

There were quite a few, but he did notice there was one missing. YKWIM hadn’t answered him yet and Peter immediately felt like a failure. They probably hated the pictures, they must have thought “ugh, ten thousand dollars for that?”. Peter should have photoshopped them. He could have made himself look at least a little bit better, if only–

Before he could hate on himself too much, YKWIM messaged him, like they could read minds. Peter quickly opened their chat, still a little worried about their reaction to the pictures.

“Damn, baby! You have no fucking idea what those did to me. Fuck! Can I show you? Please?”

Peter was oddly relieved to read that, and was endeared by the fact that they actually asked before sending a dick pic. Or a clit pic? Was that a thing?

“Of course, gorgeous, I’d love to see it.”

Within seconds, they sent a video in the chat. Peter was a little surprised by that, but pressed play anyway, and almost fell off the couch when he did.

It was a thirteen seconds video. He could see the man’s midriff, all the way down to the tops of his thighs. His belly was toned and spattered with dark hair that led down to perfectly trimmed pubes that framed the most beautiful cock Peter had ever seen. There was no other way to put it.

It was long and thick, but not so much so that it would hurt – Peter knew better –, it stood proudly between his thighs, attached to a heavy set of balls that made his mouth water. He was jacking it mercilessly, Peter could only hear him grunting quietly before his balls recoiled and he came, covering his stomach in thick, pearly white come. Peter whimpered, pressing down on his hard-on, and almost cried when the video was over.

“Fuck, daddy, that was so fucking hot.” It was probably the first time ever that he actually meant that answering a DM from a subscriber.

“That was the third time today, baby, I have been thinking about those pics from the minute you sent them. Spent the whole day with blue balls, even after coming twice.”

Fuck.

“Wish I could have helped you with that.”

“Who knows, honey, maybe someday.”

Yeah, Peter thought, biting his pillow on the couch so he wouldn’t be heard when he came embarrassingly hard in his pajamas pants, face burning with shame. Maybe someday.

Assistance for Isis much better in Persia web 2 . in Europe when compared to inside Syria

theguardian.com

Sustain for Islamic Declare (Isis) among Arabic-speaking social media clients with Belgium, Britain, England and also the US is usually greater than in the militant group’s heartlands involving Syria together with Iraq, a global analysis associated with across 2m Arabic-language online posts has got found.

theguardian.com

In what exactly understood to be the primary arduous mass analysis of the with regard to and about the world’s largest jihadist organisation, Italian teachers found which in a very three-and-a-half month interval getting into in Come july 1st, content posted as a result of Arabic-speaking Europeans with Twitter and additionally Squidoo was more beneficial to be able to Isis compared to content posted within those countries over the frontline in the discord.

In Syria, Isis is dramatically melting away the battle meant for hearts and opinions with more as opposed to 92% of tweets, blog in addition to forum reviews hostile to the militants who have rampaged on the east with the region and western Iraq, confiscating large tracts of territory along with declaring the store of a christian declare.

The jihadist militants are notable for operating a good slick propaganda piece of equipment - managing via the internet distribution for you to systematically evade content manages, piggybacking popular internet conversations and galvanising thousands of global enthusiasts into growing your message.

Their projects look like having a consequence. Outside Syria, assistance for Isis, at all times a tossing amongst online communities, rises substantially. Forty-seven per cent from studied tweets together with posts from Qatar, 35% with Pakistan, 31% from Belgium and additionally almost 24% of posts because of UK and 21% from the YOU ended up classified as being supporting for the jihadist setup compared with just under 20% in Jordan, Saudi Arabia (19. 7%) and Iraq (19. 8%).

Dr Luigi Curini from Suggests from the Blogs, an agency set up simply by teachers from Milan Or even which is pioneering completely new forms of large-scale examination of online feedback, known as message exploration, says the research is actually wonderful evidence for ones proposition that to understand Isis up close is planned to be hostile to your potential customers.

The Best Android Apps (April 2020)

Aren’t smartphones just amazing? There’s almost no limit to what your Android phone can achieve. From the top Android flagships to the best budget phones, a few taps is all that’s needed to order takeout, watch live news, or hail a cab. If you’re looking to get really advanced, you can even call people, too.

A lot of these features don’t come preloaded, so to get the most out of your phone you’re going to need apps. Which apps should you pick? There are millions of apps to choose from on the Google Play Store, and deciding which to download and install on your Android phone or tablet can be a tricky task. Thankfully, we’re here to help with a tantalizing menu that combines a solid core of apps everyone should find useful, with a few lesser-known apps that you might want to try out. You’ll find 100 apps in all, neatly divided into different categories for your consideration.

If you’re an iPhone lover, then check out our list of the best iOS apps instead, and if you’re more into gaming, check out our list of the best Android games.

Android essentials

Facebook

Can a billion people be wrong? The biggest social network on the planet has a decent official app. Keep up with your friends and family, jump into instant chats, and stay informed with push notifications. Best of all, Facebook isn’t just a place to share content stolen from Reddit and Twitter, as the world’s biggest social media site has also pushed out into sections for dating, shopping, and videos. Pair it with Messenger for the ultimate double-act.

Google Play

YouTube

Alright, you probably have YouTube already — but that doesn’t make it any less an essential. YouTube’s mobile app is sleek and intuitive, bringing the entirety of the video-sharing site to the palm of your hand. For those subscribed to YouTube Premium, you’ll have access to all the premium content, as well as special features like audio playback while the screen is off.

Google Play

Twitter

Sometimes unfairly viewed as the lesser version of Facebook, Twitter is the place where everything seems to happen instantly. Birthplace of the now now-ubiquitous internet facet, the hashtag, Twitter is the best place to be if you like to be on top of the latest breaking news as it happens. Follow your favorite content creators, actors, or crazes, and follow all the news, impressions, and opinions as they roll in.

Google Play

Google Opinion Rewards

It’s the Play Store’s best kept secret, but it’s a secret you should really know about. Google Opinion Rewards is exactly what it sounds like — it gives you rewards for your opinions. Specifically, it’ll ask you questions about places you’ve been or about yourself, and you answer the questions to earn Play Store credit. If you’re not worried about giving up more of your data tmhen this is a good way to earn a little extra money for apps.

Google Play

Movies and videos

Netflix

Netflix isn’t just one of the best video-streaming services, it’s THE video-streaming service. There’s a huge selection of movies and TV shows for subscribers and the performance is silky smooth. It’s not just restricted to old favorites either, as Netflix has produced a huge amount of excellent exclusive content — though if you’re anything like us, you’ll just put The Office on again. This is as entertained as you can get from just $9 a month.

Google Play

Disney+

If you’re looking for anything from Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, or National Geographic, the only place to go is Disney+. The Disney+ app allows you to stream everything from the latest Avengers blockbuster to those weird Disney Channel programs you used to watch back when you were a teenager. There’s a 7-day free trial, and it’ll cost you $6 a month after that — though you can pay $60 for a year in advance to save $12.

Google Play

Hulu

Hulu’s the place to go if you want to see the latest episodes of thousands of shows or movies, or catch up on some older classics. Running shows are updated as they air, while you can often also catch live sport on here too. Hulu offers various subscription models, including one that opens up the entire streaming library for $6 a month, and another that removes midstream ads for $12 a month.

Google Play

Fite — Boxing, Wrestling, MMA

If MMA, wrestling, or boxing is something you love to watch, Fite could be your Netflix. Fite provides a way to watch a huge range of combat sports, from UFC to All Elite Wrestling to the top boxing matches around. It’s free to use, but you’ll need to order each event you want to watch, though it does support streaming for easy viewing.

Google Play

Crunchyroll

Whether it’s a guilty pleasure, full-on obsession, or anywhere in between, anime is exploding in popularity across the world. If you love to dive into the latest series — or are just curious — Crunchyroll is your gateway to anime paradise. It has the latest anime episodes, streamed just 1 hour after Japan, and there’s an enormous range of series to pick from. A monthly subscription for ad-free access and the latest episodes is just $8 a month.

Google Play

Music and audio

Spotify

Spotify is probably the first name that springs to mind when you think about music streaming. That’s for a very good reason — it’s probably one of the best streaming services out there. There’s a massive selection of music on offer, from the latest huge releases to some seriously obscure genres — parrot-fronted death metal, anyone? There’s a free version if you want to try it out, but if you want ad-free listening, to download music, play any song, and have unlimited skip, then you’ll need to subscribe for $10 a month.

Google Play

Soundcloud

If you’re looking for an all-you-can-eat buffet of sound with no ads and no subscription fees, you’ve found it. You can discover new music and stream it from the cloud, but this is no Spotify replacement — most of the music on Soundcloud is from relatively unknown artists, and if you’re not able to find it on Spotify, you can probably find it here. Listening is free, with the pro versions of SoundCloud mostly being for the artists themselves. It’s not just about music though, as you’ll find a lot of podcasts on here too. A great complement to another music streaming service.

Google Play

Bandcamp

Bandcamp is the place to go if you’d rather directly support your favorite artists. Bandcamp’s mobile app allows you to stream and play the music you’ve purchased from the artists who make their livings on Bandcamp, and you can browse and buy new music as well. If you’re a fan of a specific Bandcamp artist, this is also a great way to keep tabs on them.

Google Play

Google Play Music

Google’s official streaming service is a worthy competitor to Spotify. Not only does the app provide a vast library of content, but it also allows users to upload up to 50,000 of their own songs for online storage. So if you’ve got a collection of MP3s from before the days when streaming was the normal way to consume music, upload them to Google Play Music and stream them from any of your mobile devices. Be warned though, it’s not long for this world.

Google Play

Apple Music

If you use a Mac or iPad on top of your Android phone, you may be better served with Apple Music over Google Play Music or Spotify. Apple Music offers access to Apple’s massive library of music, as well as Apple’s Beats 1 radio station, which plays both current hits and up-and-coming music. The celebrity DJs and exclusive album streams are a plus, but you’ll have to subscribe before you can listen. There’s no free tier, so you’ll have to pony up $10 a month.

Google Play

News

The New York Times

One of America’s most hallowed publications also has one of the best news apps. The New York Times app arranges the publication’s content in a clean format and allows users to customize their newsfeed, and it comes with breaking news alerts to bring you the biggest news as it happens.

Google Play

Vice News

If you prefer journalism that leans toward gonzo, Vice offers its robust library of written and video content in an app that is elegant and easy to navigate. The app includes estimated reading times, so users with a time-crunch can prioritize articles to suit their schedules.

Google Play

NPR News

The official app of National Public Radio provides a steady stream of straightforward reporting in both print and audio. Users can not only listen to news reports but also various programs such as All Things Considered and Radiolab.

Google Play

The Washington Post Select

One of America’s most noteworthy papers has a beautiful mobile app, with vivid images and colorful menus. The content is also top-notch, particularly the incisive political reporting. The app requires a subscription though.

Google Play

Flipboard

If you love curated news and updates, Flipboard is the perfect app. It allows you to follow publications and topics you’re passionate about. Throughout the day, Flipboard updates with the best stories, allowing you to flip to find whatever you’d like to read. Its redesign makes it look slicker than ever.

Google Play

Nwsty

Ever feel like there’s just too much news to keep up with? Nwsty might well be the app for you. It’s aimed at those who don’t often read the news and makes it easy to keep up with the daily headlines without spending too much time on them. Each day, you get six to 10 headlines in your digest that you can quickly and easily read in a matter of only a few minutes.

Google Play

Sports

theScore

Whatever gets you excited, from NASCAR to the NFL, theScore will have you dancing in victory or crying in your beer. It brings you all the latest touchdowns, goals, and home runs as they happen.

Google Play

Google Play

CBS Sports

Not only does the CBS Sports app have the latest news, standings, and scores for all major league sports, you can also watch live games and events like NCAA basketball and the PGA Tour, as well as CBS Sports original programming, like Fantasy Football Today.

Google Play

Social media

Tiktok

Essentially Vine for a new generation, TikTok is the home of short videos that are amusing, meme-laden, and just generally fit for a certain demographic. It says it’s there for raw, 15-second storytelling — but we know most people are there for the memes and song mimers. It’s fun, and showcases some real creativity — but it’s probably not for everyone.

Google Play

If you’re a parent, then Messenger Kids is a must-download on your child’s phone. Messenger Kids might seem like it’s built for kids, but it’s really built for parents. With the app, parents have control over their kids’ contact list, and messages can’t be deleted — meaning that parents can check in to take a look whenever they want. Of course, there are some pretty sweet features for kids, like kid-appropriate stickers, GIFs, emojis, and so on.

Messenger Messenger Kids

The Google Play Store has no shortage of messaging apps, but WhatsApp’s secure end-to-end encryption and feature-rich interface mark it as one of the best.

A must-have for messaging addicts, even if the U.S. hasn’t fully embraced it yet.

It’s tied into Google’s other services as well, including Gmail and Docs, making it the natural choice for anyone invested in Google’s ecosystem.

Google Play

Dropbox

Dropbox is another cloud saving service, and while you think you have that covered with Google Drive, Dropbox is still useful to download and use, because it often works with a number of third-party apps Drive doesn’t. It only gives you 2GB for free, but if you use it primarily for smaller files you should be okay with that amount.

Google Play

Evernote

Who needs to carry a notepad when you have your phone and Evernote? Evernote’s app is an elegant and extremely useful solution for note-taking, and can be used for everything from simple to-do lists, to notes with accompanying photos.

Google Docs is the ultimate free collaborative writing tool, and allows simultaneous usage of a single document with a large number of other people.

An excellent writing tool if you’re working with others or alone.

Google Play

Productivity

Recorder

It disappeared for a little while, but now Google’s Recorder app has returned and is happily back in its position as our favorite recording app. Recorder is more than just your usual voice recorder — it uses Google’s powerful AI to transcribe conversations as you record them, meaning you can reread conversations and even search for specific phrases. While its transciption feature isn’t perfect, it’s still a very powerful tool and worth including in your toolbox.

Google Play

Adobe Scan eliminates the need for you to have a dedicated scanner in your home or office — simply take a photo of the document, and the app will crop it and make it look like a scanned document.

Google Play

Box

Box recently launched revamped web and Windows apps to better tackle online collaboration. Box takes things a step further by offering an overhauled web app that you can access through any browser by logging into box.com.

Google Play

Google Assistant

This app doesn’t bring Google Assistant to your phone if you don’t have it, but it does allow for a much easier way to access Assistant — by adding a shortcut to your home screen. If squeezing the edge, long-pressing the home button, or using a dedicated key aren’t your style, you can add the shortcut to your home screen easily thanks to this app.

Google Play

CloudCal

CloudCal offers one of the most unique ways of showing you how busy you are on any given day. The Android exclusive uses a system it calls Magic Circles, which turns the days of the month into clock faces and shows different colored circles, or segments of a circle.

Hypnosis With The Legendary Gil Boyne

Buy Now

What difference would the teachings of a master hypnotherapist make to YOUR hypnotherapy practice… to your clients, and your LIFE?

Gil Boyne dedicated his life to the development of the hypnotherapy profession and mentoring professional hypnotherapists, and his LIVE Master Class attracted people from around the world for more than 55 years. His teachings started the careers of over 12,000 hypnotherapists worldwide, and his original and radical thinking has shaped the practice of modern hypnotherapy.

As a hypnotherapist, Gil Boyne helped many thousands of people. Acclaimed in the media, his news articles and stories have been published in 32 languages and 340 media publications.

If you can achieve just a portion of his success:

You can help more people

You can run a more successful hypnotherapy practice

You can have a more fulfilling life

You can earn more money doing what you love

Gil Boyne Online is part of Gil’s legacy of valuable teaching material, and is a fantastic resource for hypnotherapists of all levels, but especially for those who missed the opportunity to see Gil at work while he was alive.

One the best-known leaders in the hypnotherapy profession says:

“I was fortunate to take Gil Boyne’s hypnotherapy training in 1968. As I developed my practice, he was exceptionally generous with his guidance and wisdom. After ten years of a practice, I founded one of the first state-licensed hypnotherapy schools in 1978. My therapy and teaching is strongly influenced by Gil Boyne, as are my books. His live therapy films are an important part of an advanced level of my classes and I am grateful for his mentoring over the years.”

-Randall Churchill, Co-Director, Hypnotism Training Institute of Northern Calif.

Gil Boyne Online is available when YOU want it – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can fit learning from Gil around your clients and your life.

Here’s what you get when you join today…

1) Rapid and Instantaneous Induction videos with transcripts

A series of videos in which GIl demonstrates a variety of inductions and deepening techniques, including:

Hand Closing Induction

Wolberg Arm Levitation Induction

Standing Induction – Rapid Induction

Rapid Hypnosis Induction

Direct Gaze induction

Hypnotic equilibrium

The Critical Factor of the Mind

Eye catalepsy, automatic motion, and conditioning with post-hypnotic re-induction

Rocking Deepener

Each video comes complete with a transcript of the induction used for easy reference.

Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel toward Gil Boyne. Approximately 20 years ago I attended his classes in hypnosis/hypnotherapy. Without a doubt, studying with Gil Boyne was a true turning point in my life. His knowledge, ability and ease of style are incomparable. He is indeed the Teacher of Masters and the Master of Teachers. Most of the best known and successful workers in our field started with Gil Boyne. The investment that I made in his courses has come back to me in millions of dollars. For anyone looking to build a solid foundation in hypnosis/hypnotherapy, make the pilgrimage and study with Gil. You will thank yourself for the rest of your life.

– Marshall Sylver Hypnotherapist, Motivator Author-“Passion Power and Profit” Las Vegas, NV.

2) The Case of Bunny, video with teaching commentary

In this live video, Gil starts by demonstrating instantaneous inductions with several subjects. While testing one of them by making her upraised arm rigid, she exclaims, “it’s a miracle!”.

Bunny explains that she has been unable to lift her arm higher than her shoulder for over two years. In an exciting and highly dramatic age regression, Gil Boyne discovers the cause of her arm, neck and shoulder problems to be a result of early sexual abuse by her alcoholic father.

Using several original and unorthodox techniques, Gil creates a complete release from these disabling symptoms.

The commentary, approved by Gil Boyne personally, is provided by Dr John Butler, who is a highly regarded hypnotherapist with over 27 years of proven experience and over 30,000 hours of practice as a successful clinical practitioner. He is an instructor in hypnosurgery, teaching clinical hypnosis applications to surgeons and anaesthetists in a course accredited by the Royal College of Anaesthetists.

Gil is one of the true pioneers of Clinical Hypnotherapy training with 55 years of experience in the field and having trained over 12,000 hypnotherapists world wide. He has worked with many stars of the entertainment and sports worlds including Sylvester Stallone, Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and many more… His development of ‘Transforming Therapy’ and his subsequent book takes you on a journey of true emotional transformation. His teaching methods, based on video taped real therapy sessions, often left me breathless. I am proud & privileged to be his protege.

– Andrew Hughes, Hypnotherapist, Chesterfield, U.K.

3) The Case of Mary, video with teaching commentary

Mary learned as a child that it’s “nasty” to feel good. In this video, a regression uncovers the discovery of “good feelings” in the genitals. Mother warns Mary, “Nice girls don’t do that.”

As an adult, Mary avoids sexuality through obesity and unattractive appearance. A two-day follow-up shows Mary nicely dressed, with her hair styled and groomed. She reports a different body image and new eating patterns.

The commentary, approved by Gil Boyne personally, is provided by Rob Woodgate, co-creator of Gil Boyne Online and former Editor of The Hypnotherapy Journal.

Gil Boyne is a living legend — almost a cult figure.

He has been the consistent inspiration in leading the profession to upgrade its educational standards. If it were not for his legislative work the profession may not have survived intact to this day. As well as creating a new approach to hypnotherapy practice, Gil Boyne has been the right man at the right time and the entire profession will be forever in his debt.

Gil Boyne has the most profoundly laudatory testimonials from the leading professionals in the field I have ever seen.

– pnosis.com

4) The Case of Damien, video with teaching commentary

A 22-year-old male college student has had seven sessions with two different hypnotherapists and reports he has never “been in a trance.” In this video, Gil demonstrates an intake interview, an instant standing induction, eye catalepsy, arm catalepsy, arm levitation, heavy left arm, handclasp response plus self-hypnosis training session.

In the posthypnotic interview, Damien reports he is now convinced he was in a trance.

The commentary, approved by Gil Boyne personally, is provided by Rob Woodgate, co-creator of Gil Boyne Online and former Editor of The Hypnotherapy Journal.

Gil Boyne, who has become a a living legend in the hypnotherapy world, takes his students on a journey of true emotional and spiritual transformation in just six weekends. Gil is the only therapist who has videotaped a comprehensive library of his successful hypnotherapy sessions and follow-up interviews. The videos are shown to students on a giant screen and interspersed with Gil’s insightful commentary. Gil’s unique “Transforming Therapy,” shows its potency in liberating clients from a wide range of emotional traumas and physical ailments. This is one training course that I can recommend with absolute confidence.

– Donald Robertson, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Harley St. London, UK

5) The Case of Bob, video with discussion

Bob, a 72-year-old Hypnotherapist, has been unable to experience trance in spite of his many efforts to do so. Using age regression, Boyne uncovers mother’s early script: “You’ll never amount to anything”. Bob enters into a deep trance complete with several tests. Boyne then teaches him self-hypnosis and he comes up from the trance amazed and radiant.

Designed to help you consolidate your learning from the previous videos, this case study is left open for students to provide comments and discuss the specific techniques used.

Gil Boyne is a Master! He is and always will be my main Hypnosis mentor. He made a powerful and lasting impact on me, both as a teacher and as a friend. The professional and social time I spent with him many years ago continue to be highpoints in my life. His brilliance continues to be felt globally through his personal work and the work of his many gifted students.”

– George Bien is one of America’s most renowned hypnotherapists, He teaches and practices in New York City and teaches Hypnotherapy throughout Southeast Asia.

6) PLUS, numerous never before seen video interviews with Gil and a host of articles and learning points penned by the great man himself.

It adds up to over 100 teaching topics… which you will enjoy in just 5 minutes from now

Ordering is easy – simply go to the checkout page and order now.

Once your payment is made, you get your login for immediate access! It’s safe, simple and secure.

You would typically have to pay $4000 to fully qualify as a hypnotherapist with the AMERICAN COUNCIL OF HYPNOTIST EXAMINERS or over $1100 to learn from Gil in his live Master Class.

And when Gil was alive, people used to buy his case study videos alone, without any form of teaching commentary, for $75 each, and his hypnotherapy training articles sold for $99.95, so this package, including the Masterclass Grade teaching commentaries, has a real world, actual value of $997.

But because everything is now delivered online, you can get full, ongoing access to all the material on this site for a one time payment of only $147.

You also get a full 60 day, no-quibble money back guarantee, which means that if for any reason you are not totally delighted with your decision to invest in your hypnotherapy education, we will cheerfully refund every penny of your money.

NB: All prices exclude VAT, which is payable by customers in the European Union.

Subscription Fatigue

Subscription Management

I have active subscriptions with about a half-dozen different news & finance sites along with about a half dozen software tools, but sometimes using a VPN or web proxy across different web browsers makes logging in to all of them & clearing cookies for some paywall sites a real pain.

If you don't subscribe to any outlets then subscribing to an aggregator like Apple News+ can make a lot of sense, but it is very easy to end up with dozens of forgotten subscriptions.

Subscription fatigue is turning into subscription stress. Something alarming, guilt inducing about having 40+ reoccurring charges each month. Financial death by a thousand cuts.— Tom Goodwin (@tomfgoodwin) January 28, 2020

Winner-take-most Market Stratification

The news business is coming to resemble other tech-enabled businesses where a winner takes most. The New York Times stock, for instance, is trading at 15 year highs & they recently announced they are raising subscription prices:

The New York Times is raising the price of its digital subscription for the first time, from $15 every four weeks to $17 — from about $195 to $221 a year.

With a Trump re-election all but assured after the Russsia, Russia, Russia garbage, the party-line impeachment (less private equity plunderer Mitt Romney) & the ridiculous Iowa primary, many NYT readers will pledge their #NeverTrumpTwice dollars with the New York Times.

If you think politics looks ridiculous today, wait until you see some of the China-related ads in a half-year as the novel coronavirus spreads around the world.

Outside of a few core winners, the news business online has been so brutal that even Warren Buffett is now a seller. As the economics get uglier news sites get more extreme with ad placements, user data sales, and pushing subscriptions. Some of these aggressive monetization efforts make otherwise respectable news outlets look like part of a very downmarket subset of the web.

Users Fight Back

Users have thus adopted to blocking ads & are also starting to ramp up blocking paywall notifications.

Some of the most popular browser extensions are ad blockers & tracking blockers like Adblock Plus, Ghostery & Privacy Badger.

Apple has made tracking their users across sites harder with their Intelligent Tracking Prevention, causing iPhone ad rates to plummet: "The allure of a Safari user in an auction has plummeted," Rubicon Project CEO Michael Barrett told the publication. "There's no easy ability to ID a user."

The Opera web browser comes with an ad blocker baked in.

Mozilla is also pushing to protect user privacy in Firefox.

Google recently announced they will stop supporting third party cookies in Chrome in the next couple years. Those who invested into adopting AMP will have to invest into making yet more technical changes to manage paywalls on AMP pages.

Each additional layer of technological complexity is another cost center publishers have to fund, often through making the user experience of their sites worse, which in turn makes their own sites less differentiated & inferior to the copies they have left across the web (via AMP, via Facebook Instant Articles, syndication in Apple News or on various portal sites like MSN or Yahoo!).

A Web Browser For Every Season

Google Chrome is spyware, so I won't recommend installing that.

Not good enough for you? Not a direct enough corollary? How about this?Also out today: https://t.co/6dUWCCEyii Google has a backdoor to track individual Chrome users by installation ID.Even GG's denial admits pieces of the same complaints y'all had about Jumpshot last week! pic.twitter.com/Km2mQfOgbJ— Rand Fishkin (@randfish) February 4, 2020

Here Google's official guide on how to remove the spyware.

The easiest & most basic solution which works across many sites using metered paywalls is to have multiple web browsers installed on your computer. Have a couple browsers which are used exclusively for reading news articles when they won't show up in your main browser & set those web browsers to delete cookies on close. Or open the browsers in private mode and search for the URL of the page from Google to see if that allows access.

If you like Firefox there are other iterations from other players like Pale Moon, Comodo IceDragon or Waterfox using their core.

If you like Google Chrome then Chromium is the parallel version of it without the spyware baked in. The Chromium project is also the underlying source used to build about a dozen other web browsers including: Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Cilqz, Blisk, Comodo Dragon, SRWare Iron, Yandex Browser & many others. Even Microsoft recently switched their Edge browser to being powered by the Chromium project. The browsers based on the Chromium store allow you to install extensions from the Chrome web store.

Some web browsers monetize users by setting affiliate links on the home screen and/or by selling the default search engine recommendation. You can change those once and they'll typically stick with whatever settings you use.

For some browsers I use for regular day to day web use I set them up to continue session on restart, and I have a session manager plugin like this one for Firefox or this one for Chromium-based browsers. For browsers which are used exclusively for reading paywall blocked articles I set them up to clear cookies on restart.

Bypassing Paywalls

There are a couple solid web browser plugins built specifically for bypassing paywalls.

Academic Journals

Unpaywall is an open database of around 25,000,000 free scholarly articles. They provide extensions for Firefox and Chromium based web browsers on their website.

News Articles

There is also one for news publications called bypass paywalls.

Mozilla Firefox: To install the Firefox version go here.

Chrome-like web browsers: To install the Chrome version of the extension in Opera or Chromium or Microsoft Edge you can download the extension here, enter developer mode inside the extensions area of your web browser & install extension. To turn developer mode on, open up the drop down menu for the browser, click on extensions to go to the extension management area, and then slide the "Developer mode" button to the right so it is blue.

Regional Blocking

If you travel internationally some websites like YouTube or Twitter or news sites will have portions of their content restricted to only showing in some geographic regions. This can be especially true for new sports content and some music.

These can be bypassed by using a VPN service like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Witopia or IPVanish. Some VPN providers also sell pre-configured routers. If you buy a pre-configured router you can use an ethernet switch or wifi to switch back and forth between the regular router and the VPN router.

You can also buy web proxies & enter them into the Foxy Proxy web browser extension (Firefox or Chromium-compatible) with different browsers set to default to different country locations, making it easier to see what the search results show in different countries & cities quickly.

If you use a variety of web proxies you can configure some of them to work automatically in an open source rank tracking tool like Serposcope.

The Future of Journalism

I think the future of news is going to be a lot more sites like Ben Thompson's Stratechery or Jessica Lessin's TheInformation & far fewer broad/horizontal news organizations. Things are moving toward the 1,000 true fans or perhaps 100 true fans model:

This represents a move away from the traditional donation model—in which users pay to benefit the creator—to a value model, in which users are willing to pay more for something that benefits themselves. What was traditionally dubbed “self-help” now exists under the umbrella of “wellness.” People are willing to pay more for exclusive, ROI-positive services that are constructive in their lives, whether it’s related to health, finances, education, or work. In the offline world, people are accustomed to hiring experts across verticals

A friend of mine named Terry Godier launched a conversion-oriented email newsletter named Conversion Gold which has done quite well right out of the gate, leading him to launch IndieMailer, a community for paid newsletter creators.

The model which seems to be working well for those sorts of news sites is...

stick to a tight topic range

publish regularly at a somewhat decent frequency like daily or weekly, though have a strong preference to quality & originality over quantity

have a single author or a small core team which does most the writing and expand editorial hiring slowly

offer original insights & much more depth of coverage than you would typically find in the mainstream news

Rely on Wordpress or a low-cost CMS & billing technology partner like Substack, Memberful, sell on a marketplace like Udemy, Podia or Teachable, or if they have a bit more technical chops they can install aMember on their own server. One of the biggest mistakes I made when I opened up a membership site about a decade back was hand rolling custom code for memberhsip management. At one point we shut down the membership site for a while in order to allow us to rip out all that custom code & replace it with aMember.

Accept user comments on pieces or integrate a user forum using something like Discord on a subdomain or a custom Slack channel. Highlight or feature the best comments. Update readers to new features via email.

Invest much more into obtaining unique data & sources to deliver new insights without spending aggressively to syndicate onto other platforms using graphical content layouts which would require significant design, maintenance & updating expenses

Heavily differentiate your perspective from other sources

maintain a low technological maintenance overhead

low cost monthly subscription with a solid discount for annual pre-payment

instead of using a metered paywall, set some content to require payment to read & periodically publish full-feature free content (perhaps weekly) to keep up awareness of the offering in the broader public to help offset churn.

Some also work across multiple formats with complimentary offerings. The Ringer has done well with podcasts & Stratechery also has the Exponent podcast.

There are a number of other successful online-only news subscription sites like TheAthletic & Bill Bishop's Sinocism newsletter about China, but I haven't subscribed to them yet. Many people support a wide range of projects on platforms like Patreon & sites like MasterClass with an all-you-can-eat subscription will also make paying for online content far more common..

When it comes to elections, Facebook moves slow, may still break things

This week, Facebook invited a small group of journalists — which didn’t include TechCrunch — to look at the “war room” it has set up in Dublin, Ireland, to help monitor its products for election-related content that violates its policies. (“Time and space constraints” limited the numbers, a spokesperson told us when he asked why we weren’t invited.)

Facebook announced it would be setting up this Dublin hub — which will bring together data scientists, researchers, legal and community team members, and others in the organization to tackle issues like fake news, hate speech and voter suppression — back in January. The company has said it has nearly 40 teams working on elections across its family of apps, without breaking out the number of staff it has dedicated to countering political disinformation.

We have been told that there would be “no news items” during the closed tour — which, despite that, is “under embargo” until Sunday — beyond what Facebook and its executives discussed last Friday in a press conference about its European election preparations.

The tour looks to be a direct copy-paste of the one Facebook held to show off its US election “war room” last year, which it did invite us on. (In that case it was forced to claim it had not disbanded the room soon after heavily PR’ing its existence — saying the monitoring hub would be used again for future elections.)

We understand — via a non-Facebook source — that several broadcast journalists were among the invites to its Dublin “war room”. So expect to see a few gauzy inside views at the end of the weekend, as Facebook’s PR machine spins up a gear ahead of the vote to elect the next European Parliament later this month.

It’s clearly hoping shots of serious-looking Facebook employees crowded around banks of monitors will play well on camera and help influence public opinion that it’s delivering an even social media playing field for the EU parliament election. The European Commission is also keeping a close watch on how platforms handle political disinformation before a key vote.

But with the pan-EU elections set to start May 23, and a general election already held in Spain last month, we believe the lack of new developments to secure EU elections is very much to the company’s discredit.

The EU parliament elections are now a mere three weeks away, and there are a lot of unresolved questions and issues Facebook has yet to address. Yet we’re told the attending journalists were once again not allowed to put any questions to the fresh-faced Facebook employees staffing the “war room”.

Ahead of the looming batch of Sunday evening ‘war room tour’ news reports, which Facebook will be hoping contain its “five pillars of countering disinformation” talking points, we’ve compiled a run down of some key concerns and complications flowing from the company’s still highly centralized oversight of political campaigning on its platform — even as it seeks to gloss over how much dubious stuff keeps falling through the cracks.

Worthwhile counterpoints to another highly managed Facebook “election security” PR tour.

No overview of political ads in most EU markets

Since political disinformation created an existential nightmare for Facebook’s ad business with the revelations of Kremlin-backed propaganda targeting the 2016 US presidential election, the company has vowed to deliver transparency — via the launch of a searchable political ad archive for ads running across its products.

The Facebook Ad Library now shines a narrow beam of light into the murky world of political advertising. Before this, each Facebook user could only see the propaganda targeted specifically at them. Now, such ads stick around in its searchable repository for seven years. This is a major step up on total obscurity. (Obscurity that Facebook isn’t wholly keen to lift the lid on, we should add; Its political data releases to researchers so far haven’t gone back before 2017.)

However, in its current form, in the vast majority of markets, the Ad Library makes the user do all the leg work — running searches manually to try to understand and quantify how Facebook’s platform is being used to spread political messages intended to influence voters.

Facebook does also offer an Ad Library Report — a downloadable weekly summary of ads viewed and highest spending advertisers. But it only offers this in four countries globally right now: the US, India, Israel and the UK.

It has said it intends to ship an update to the reports in mid-May. But it’s not clear whether that will make them available in every EU country. (Mid-May would also be pretty late for elections that start May 23.)

So while the UK report makes clear that the new ‘Brexit Party’ is now a leading spender ahead of the EU election, what about the other 27 members of the bloc? Don’t they deserve an overview too?

A spokesperson we talked to about this week’s closed briefing said Facebook had no updates on expanding Ad Library Reports to more countries, in Europe or otherwise.

So, as it stands, the vast majority of EU citizens are missing out on meaningful reports that could help them understand which political advertisers are trying to reach them and how much they’re spending.

Which brings us to…

Facebook’s Ad Archive API is far too limited

In another positive step Facebook has launched an API for the ad archive that developers and researchers can use to query the data. However, as we reported earlier this week, many respected researchers have voiced disappointed with what it’s offering so far — saying the rate-limited API is not nearly open or accessible enough to get a complete picture of all ads running on its platform.

Following this criticism, Facebook’s director of product, Rob Leathern, tweeted a response, saying the API would improve. “With a new undertaking, we’re committed to feedback & want to improve in a privacy-safe way,” he wrote.

The question is when will researchers have a fit-for-purpose tool to understand how political propaganda is flowing over Facebook’s platform? Apparently not in time for the EU elections, either: We asked about this on Thursday and were pointed to Leathern’s tweets as the only update.

This issue is compounded by Facebook also restricting the ability of political transparency campaigners — such as the UK group WhoTargetsMe and US investigative journalism site ProPublica — to monitor ads via browser plug-ins, as the Guardian reported in January.

The net effect is that Facebook is making life hard for civil society groups and public interest researchers to study the flow of political messaging on its platform to try to quantify democratic impacts, and offering only a highly managed level of access to ad data that falls far short of the “political ads transparency” Facebook’s PR has been loudly trumpeting since 2017.

Ad loopholes remain ripe for exploiting

Facebook’s Ad Library includes data on political ads that were active on its platform but subsequently got pulled (made “inactive” in its parlance) because they broke its disclosure rules.

There are multiple examples of inactive ads for the Spanish far right party Vox visible in Facebook’s Ad Library that were pulled for running without the required disclaimer label, for example.

“After the ad started running, we determined that the ad was related to politics and issues of national importance and required the label. The ad was taken down,” runs the standard explainer Facebook offers if you click on the little ‘i’ next to an observation that “this ad ran without a disclaimer”.

What is not at all clear is how quickly Facebook acted to removed rule-breaking political ads.

It is possible to click on each individual ad to get some additional details. Here Facebook provides a per ad breakdown of impressions; genders, ages, and regional locations of the people who saw the ad; and how much was spent on it.

But all those clicks don’t scale. So it’s not possible to get an overview of how effectively Facebook is handling political ad rule breakers. Unless, well, you literally go in clicking and counting on each and every ad…

There is then also the wider question of whether a political advertiser that is found to be systematically breaking Facebook rules should be allowed to keep running ads on its platform.

Because if Facebook does allow that to happen there’s a pretty obvious (and massive) workaround for its disclosure rules: Bad faith political advertisers could simply keep submitting fresh ads after the last batch got taken down.

We were, for instance, able to find inactive Vox ads taken down for lacking a disclaimer that had still been able to rack up thousands — and even tens of thousands — of impressions in the time they were still active.

Facebook needs to be much clearer about how it handles systematic rule breakers.

Definition of political issue ads is still opaque

Facebook currently requires that all political advertisers in the EU go through its authorization process in the country where ads are being delivered if they relate to the European Parliamentary elections, as a step to try and prevent foreign interference.

This means it asks political advertisers to submit documents and runs technical checks to confirm their identity and location. Though it noted, on last week’s call, that it cannot guarantee this ID system cannot be circumvented. (As it was last year when UK journalists were able to successfully place ads paid for by ‘Cambridge Analytica’.)

One other big potential workaround is the question of what is a political ad? And what is an issue ad?

Facebook says these types of ads on Facebook and Instagram in the EU “must now be clearly labeled, including a paid-for-by disclosure from the advertiser at the top of the ad” — so users can see who is paying for the ads and, if there’s a business or organization behind it, their contact details, plus some disclosure about who, if anyone, saw the ads.

But the big question is how is Facebook defining political and issue ads across Europe?

While political ads might seem fairly easy to categorize — assuming they’re attached to registered political parties and candidates, issues are a whole lot more subjective.

Currently Facebook defines issue ads as those relating to “any national legislative issue of public importance in any place where the ad is being run.” It says it worked with EU barometer, YouGov and other third parties to develop an initial list of key issues — examples for Europe include immigration, civil and social rights, political values, security and foreign policy, the economy and environmental politics — that it will “refine… over time.”

Again specifics on when and how that will be refined are not clear. Yet ads that Facebook does not deem political/issue ads will slip right under its radar. They won’t be included in the Ad Library; they won’t be searchable; but they will be able to influence Facebook users under the perfect cover of its commercial ad platform — as before.

So if any maliciously minded propaganda slips through Facebook’s net, because the company decides it’s a non-political issue, it will once again leave no auditable trace.

In recent years the company has also had a habit of announcing major takedowns of what it badges “fake accounts” ahead of major votes. But again voters have to take it on trust that Facebook is getting those judgement calls right.

Facebook continues to bar pan-EU campaigns

On the flip side of weeding out non-transparent political propaganda and/or political disinformation, Facebook is currently blocking the free flow of legal pan-EU political campaigning on its platform.

This issue first came to light several weeks ago, when it emerged that European officials had written to Nick Clegg (Facebook’s vice president of global affairs) to point out that its current rules — i.e. that require those campaigning via Facebook ads to have a registered office in the country where the ad is running — run counter to the pan-European nature of this particular election.

It means EU institutions are in the strange position of not being able to run Facebook ads for their own pan-EU election everywhere across the region. “This runs counter to the nature of EU institutions. By definition, our constituency is multinational and our target audience are in all EU countries and beyond,” the EU’s most senior civil servants pointed out in a letter to the company last month.

This issue impacts not just EU institutions and organizations advocating for particular policies and candidates across EU borders, but even NGOs wanting to run vanilla “get out the vote” campaigns Europe-wide — leading to a number to accuse Facebook of breaching their electoral rights and freedoms.

Facebook claimed last week that the ball is effectively in the regulators’ court on this issue — saying it’s open to making the changes but has to get their agreement to do so. A spokesperson confirmed to us that there is no update to that situation, either.

Of course the company may be trying to err on the side of caution, to prevent bad actors being able to interfere with the vote across Europe. But at what cost to democratic freedoms?

What about fake news spreading on WhatsApp?

Facebook’s ‘election security’ initiatives have focused on political and/or politically charged ads running across its products. But there’s no shortage of political disinformation flowing unchecked across its platforms as user uploaded ‘content’.

On the Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp, which is hugely popular in some European markets, the presence of end-to-end encryption further complicates this issue by providing a cloak for the spread of political propaganda that’s not being regulated by Facebook.

In a recent study of political messages spread via WhatsApp ahead of last month’s general election in Spain, the campaign group Avaaz dubbed it “social media’s dark web” — claiming the app had been “flooded with lies and hate”.

“Posts range from fake news about Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez signing a secret deal for Catalan independence to conspiracy theories about migrants receiving big cash payouts, propaganda against gay people and an endless flood of hateful, sexist, racist memes and outright lies,” it wrote.

Avaaz compiled this snapshot of politically charged messages and memes being shared on Spanish WhatsApp by co-opting 5,833 local members to forward election-related content that they deemed false, misleading or hateful.

It says it received a total of 2,461 submissions — which is of course just a tiny, tiny fraction of the stuff being shared in WhatsApp groups and chats. Which makes this app the elephant in Facebook’s election ‘war room’.

What exactly is a war room anyway?

Facebook has said its Dublin Elections Operation Center — to give it its official title — is “focused on the EU elections”, while also suggesting it will plug into a network of global teams “to better coordinate in real time across regions and with our headquarters in California [and] accelerate our rapid response times to fight bad actors and bad content”.

But we’re concerned Facebook is sending out mixed — and potentially misleading — messages about how its election-focused resources are being allocated.

Our (non-Facebook) source told us the 40-odd staffers in the Dublin hub during the press tour were simultaneously looking at the Indian elections. If that’s the case, it does not sound entirely “focused” on either the EU or India’s elections.

Facebook’s eponymous platform has 2.375 billion monthly active users globally, with some 384 million MAUs in Europe. That’s more users than in the US (243M MAUs). Though Europe is Facebook’s second-biggest market in terms of revenues after the US. Last quarter, it pulled in $3.65BN in sales for Facebook (versus $7.3BN for the US) out of $15BN overall.

Apart from any kind of moral or legal pressure that Facebook might have for running a more responsible platform when it comes to supporting democratic processes, these numbers underscore the business imperative that it has to get this sorted out in Europe in a better way.

Having a “war room” may sound like a start, but unfortunately Facebook is presenting it as an end in itself. And its foot-dragging on all of the bigger issues that need tackling, in effect, means the war will continue to drag on.

Top 8 Reasons Why CTFO is One of the Fastest Growing MLM Companies

Regardless of what stance you take on the topic of cannabis, the market is poised to explode in the coming years as legalization for medicinal and recreational use continues to sweep across Canada and the United States. With the stigma around its consumption waning and the benefits becoming more prevalent, industries within the market are growing at a rapid pace.

According to the Hemp Business Journal, companies and projects within the industry are estimated to bring in roughly $2.1 billion by 2020, which is a 700% market increase over current recent years. One such company is CTFO, a free-to-join company that offers individuals an affordable and accessible business opportunity within the cannabis market, buying and selling CTFO certified products that are safe, reliable, and lab-tested. With this said, let’s take a look at why CTFO has become one of the fastest growing MLM companies within the industry.

CTFO The Fastest Growing MLM Companies

1) The Income Is Sustainable and Not Wildly Disproportionate:

Unlike other MLM companies that boast hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in profits, CTFO only really began to explode in growth when they opened up operations in the UK, Ireland, and Sweden. The key here is that new affiliates are going to enjoy a steady and sustainable income right off the hop and with hard work, may enjoy an explosion in growth but it won’t be wildly disproportionate to the number of sales you are making. This shows you that the markup on the prices of the products is fair and affordable.

2) The Compensation Plan Gets You Going From The Start:

For the little guys starting out, it may be intimidating because you do not have thousands of people you can bring over, you may not have a huge cold-calling contact list, and you may not even have anyone to pitch to. But, because you can earn money from anyone you sign up under you, without you ever buying the product, you can actually earn money in your very first week of being an affiliate.

3) No Goofy Car Bonuses and Big Incentives to Keep You Selling:

Some MLM companies offer car bonuses if you hit a certain rank in the compensation plan. Unfortunately, what these MLM companies do not tell you is that these bonuses are coming at the expense of the little guys in the company. CTFO does not have any type of car bonus or car qualifications and does not force you to lease a car and put the company’s logo on it. If you truly want to and you have the commissions to do it, you could go and lease yourself a new car but it won’t be coming from the company in the way of a specific bonus. It will come all from your own commissions.

4) You Do Not Need a Credit Card to Join:

It is completely free to join the company. You do not need to buy an affiliate kit, you do not need to pay for website hosting, and you do not need to pay anything to get marketing materials. To sign up, you just need your personal contact information and yes, that means no credit card is required at all.

5) Maintain Your Affiliate Rank Without Autoship or Monthly Purchases:

One of the major issues with a lot of MLM companies is that they require you to have a certain monthly volume in purchases in order for you to maintain your rank. This can be anywhere from $100-200 a month in product volume on top of the fact that you have to hit a certain monetary threshold to max out the compensation plan. In some companies, the higher the rank, the more purchase volume you need from your downline. What’s worse is that some MLM companies require you to order on a consistent basis (every month) in order to keep the downline that you worked so hard to build up.

CTFO does things differently in that they do not require a forced autoship, but if you do choose to use autoship, there is a 5% discount you get on the wholesale price. Plus, you never lose your downline if you miss a month and there are two ways you can max out the compensation plan. You either purchase around $50 a month of product or you have ten personally enrolled customers/affiliates that purchase around $50 a month in product. If you choose the second route, you don’t even have to buy product if you do not want to and you’ll still get commissions. Beyond this, if you do not buy any product and do not have ten people under you, sure the compensation plan won’t be maxed out but you still get 20% commissions on anyone who buys that you have personally signed up. Watch the Compensation Plan Video:

6) CBD Oil Has Exploded in Popularity Due to its Benefits:

A lot of individuals are choosing to use CBD oil because of the benefits it provides. When taken correctly, CBD oil can help reduce inflammation in the body and provide pain relief, dramatically reduce seizures, it can fight against cancer and combat anxiety, and even treat sleep issues and reduce your risk of diabetes. The only issue with CBD oil for many people is that it comes with a high price tag. CTFO is looking to change that by providing the highest quality of CBD oil possible at the best price available.

CTFO is able to offer CBD oil at wholesale prices because they do not have to pay goofy car bonuses or insanely high commission bonuses to top reps. Rather, the company pays out a fair compensation to all affiliates which is what allows them to continue buying the highest quality product available on the market. The fact that their compensation model works this way is one of the many reasons why they are the fastest growing MLM companies.

7) They Are Investing Back Into The Company With Integrity:

Unfortunately, in the MLM networking business, you see a lot of companies create a very hostile and negative environment. Although this may not be intentional, it occurs because these types of MLM companies only care about profiting and bringing in new representatives and customers that create growth. This subsequently pushes representatives to do nothing but grow the company through hard sells and pushy sales tactics.

With CTFO, the leadership is different in that the growth that the company sustains must come from a place of trust, integrity, and credibility. Meaning, that rather than pocketing the money from sales and pushing reps to bring in more individuals, they focus on investing the money from growth into new marketing materials, new website systems, and new tracking systems for current and new affiliates. In doing so, the company has showcased that although they care about growth, they care about their representatives first and foremost.

8) Some Quick Facts About Company As a Whole:

Beyond the above reasons, CTFO is one of the fastest growing MLM companies in the industry because the company is completely debt-free, the executive leaders do not take a salary as their income is built off of commissions like everyone else, and the company is operating in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, England, Sweden, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. The compensation plan is different from other MLM companies in that they do not offer a binary compensation plan, there are no “legs” or “trees” to balance, and if you miss a month of order, you do not lose your downline.

Final Verdict About CTOF The Fastest Growing MLM Companies:

Finally, the company offers a 60-day money back guarantee on empty bottles and has a massive selection of CBD products for customers and affiliates to choose from. It’s clear to see why the company is one of the fastest growing MLM companies in the industry, as everyone who signs up can earn money, enjoy a high-quality product, and positively change their life for the better.

Colombia Is Your Ultimate Retirement Heaven and Here Is Why

Here is all what you need to know about what a fantastic place Colombia is now:

1.Low cost of living

The cost of living in Colombia is one of the top reasons attracting so many people to move to Colombia for their retirement. What makes it even a better deal is that the low living expenses allow you to have access to the first-world infrastructure and amenities that one would expect to see in a much more expensive location. Plus, it would be easy to find some legit bargains on food, travel, and transportation, and so on with the current exchange rate. However, gasoline is expensive in Colombia which is around $5 per gallon, so do consider taking public transportation as it takes you to almost any destination.

In addition to that, utilities bills are extremely low. High speed Internet costs $25 to $30 per month. In the climate of Andes Mountains, where the modern city of Medellin is located where neither heater nor air conditioners would be needed. You will probably end up paying just $15 a month for electricity. Cooking gas and hot water will likely cost around $5. Many households pay around $50 for electricity, water, and natural gas.

In Colombia, a system called estrato, or stratum, is used to calculate the utilities cost, including water, electricity, natural gas, phone, and internet service. An estrato number is assigned to neighborhoods by the system based on the average income of its residents. That means neighborhoods with lower estrato pay a lower rate than neighborhoods with high estrato.

2. Good food that costs much less

Thanks to Colombia's favorable climate, there are fresh fruits and vegetables available anytime throughout the year. Plus, meats organically produced in small towns cost only a fraction of what one would pay at Safeway or Kroger.

For less than $1, you can buy a fresh papaya for breakfast at the neighborhood markets. While in America, an avocado generally costs around $2, here in Colombia you would pay less than $1. The price of meat like a whole tuna costs less than $4 while that of chicken breasts ranges from $2.50 to $4.

Dining out is almost as affordable. In the nation's capital, Bogotá, a huge plate of Colombia favorite "bandeja paisa" which is a combination of beef, pork, beans, rice, and avocado costs no more than $6. What's more, A daily special at a lunch restaurant charges $2.50. As you go on exploring Colombian food scene anywhere, you would be surprised with how affordable yet scrumptious it is.

3. Buy or rent the home of your dream

If you decide to stay in Colombia, there are also abundant real estate options to choose from. Depending on the area in which you want to live, prices will vary. When it comes to Cartagena, Colombia's top tourist attractions for both local and international visitors, real estate and rental market has escalated dramatically with new malls, hotels, and condominium projects. Medellin real estate market, a project as part of Colombia's premier property market is receiving growing popularity in the international and local retiree community.

For instance, you can rent a one-bedroom condo in Medellin filled with light, fully equipped, and located within only a few minutes from all the entertainment and food scene. Alternatively, an American expat looking for something a bit more fancy might be up for a one-bedroom stylish apartment in El Poblado, Medellin that is fully renovated, has an inviting living room, and a fully equipped kitchen that opens to a perfect dining area. The location is ideal, providing you the convenience to explore the nightlife district as well as the business and commercial center. These are only two examples of what a steal renting Colombian real estate is.

The same applies to buying Colombia property. If you are interested in the price differences between major cities like Cartagena and others, you would be thrilled to learn about some of the bargains that are currently available. While you pay about $1 million for a 6,450 square feet bay view luxury penthouse in Bolivar, a comparable Balmoral penthouse in the same area with four spacious bedrooms will their own bath and closets will cost only $650,000. Check out our real estate listings across many cities in Colombia.

4.A dramatic beauty with perfect climate and great lifestyle

Colombia's diverse beauty and tropical climate accommodates whatever location and lifestyle you prefer.

One of the most popular attractions of Colombia is the Andes Mountains, which runs up the center of the country's western part and serves as a dividing line. This is where you find most of residences of the country as well as classic Spanish colonial architectures and breathtaking views. Most of Eastern Colombia is occupied with undeveloped jungles but the west is home to all sorts of environments and communities including the modern and vibrant city of Medellin.

Colombia's climate is a favorite to many because of its temperature stability across the country. This is due to its proximity to the equator which keeps the temperature the same all year round.

One of Spanish America's most desired locations is Cartagena. Located in the North of the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena is the ultimate destination for a fancy and roman dinner in a charming colonial district surrounded by turquoise shores. Another lovely seaside city to visit is Santa Marta, which is home to a stunning palm-covered beaches with the background of lush mountains.

Medellin, situated in the west, is called the city of innovation in Colombia by Wall Street Journal's Urban Land Groups and Citigroup division, making a hotspot for young start-ups from all over the world. Medellin has modern subway system, cable cars that accommodate hilltop residents, and many other advances in education, politics, and social development.

5.Rich culture comes with a rich cup of coffee

Colombian culture is very similar to that in Latin Americas. However, there are certain characteristics that make it stand out from the rest. Visitors to Colombia who are football fanatics would be thrilled to know that this sport is also a favorite of Colombians. It is the sport that brings Colombian society despite the differences in economic backgrounds.

What is also exciting about Colombia is its carnivals. This is the opportunity where the whole population come together and enjoy la fiesta, which is a prominent feature of Colombian culture. Of course, there cannot be carnivals without music. With Cumbia and Vallenato enjoyed nationwide, music plays an integral part of Colombian life. Shakira, a native Colombian, is an internationally known for her dancing and singing talent.

Art lovers often appeal to Colombian art scene as it holds a diverse range of styles and mediums that give insights into the country's cultural and political past. One interesting finding by archaeologists discovers that ceramics may have been produced in Colombia in the 3,000 BC, which is far ahead of the rest of the Americas.

6.It is absolutely safe

Considering the common misunderstanding about Colombia's safety, we feel the need to comment on this. Long gone the days of the past when Colombia was regarded with high criminal activity. Thanks to the implementation of safety policies in 2006, the security has been dramatically improved. Multiple sources have proved this true, leading to a growing flow of visitors to Colombia.

According to the US State Department, things have gotten a lot better as it reported that "Tens of thousands of U.S. citizens safely visit Colombia each year for tourism, business, university studies, and volunteer work. Security in Colombia has improved much in recent years, including in tourist and business travel destinations such as Bogota, Cartagena, Barranquilla, Medellín, and Cali." Not only that, Forbes, National Geographic, and the New York Times have all recommended several Colombian cities and geographic attractions as must-see venues.

7. Colombia has an amazing health care system

If you think Colombia is a Third World, think again! Not only is Colombian health care system so much better, it is also much more affordable than health care in the U.S or Canada. As a matter of fact, health care system in Colombia ranks the highest in both American continents. It also contributes to the country's economy as it gives rise to medical tourism which leaped by over 60% between 2012 and 2013. In fact, four highest-ranking Latin American hospitals are those in Colombia.

In other words, in case of illnesses or accidents, you are certainly in good hands. hospitals and clinics are equipped with modern medicine and technology along with an army of well-trained doctors.

8. Colombian people are friendly and kind

To most people, it is important to know about how the locals are, especially to foreigners. Regardless of the low daily living costs or the great real estate listings, it is the people who make Colombia worth visiting and/or living. Indeed, the locals would go out of their way to befriend with you, make you feel welcome, or try their best to help you in case of emergency. Come spend time with Colombians and you'll become enriched more than just economic reasons-wise.

Recap on the amazing gains when you retire in Colombia:
