Nice bit of reporting from Swedish Radio. They built an online fake pharmacy and activated Facebook advertising tools. Thousands of simulated visits to the pharmacy were made each day, and the reporters could see all the sensitive, personal information being stored by Facebook.

Facebook sent no warnings to the pharmacy, despite saying they have tools in place to prevent this from happening.

A few weeks ago they revealed how this was happening with real pharmacies.

People have been arrested, charged, and convicted for threats for sending messages containing a pistol emoji. It's not hard to imagine a situation in which someone sends the emoji from a new phone (displayed as a water pistol), it's received on an old one (displayed as a handgun), and it's taken as a threat.

U+1F52B PISTOL (🔫) is meant to represent a handgun. US vendors, for political reasons, decided they didn't like the idea of a realistic handgun, so for quite a few years now, it's been displayed as a water pistol, exaggerated ray gun, or similar. Older devices and more compliant fonts haven't stopped existing, so here's a character that can seem either like a deadly threat or innocent fun depending on where you send or receive it

lookin at the dartlang documentation rn and

i'm not sure why these kinds of tutorials like to say "you can do this thing in our language, unlike in javascript!" about things you can 100% do in javascript?
