Tumblr Belongs To Verizon Now And Will Exploit Black Lives Matter To Make More Money For Yahoo

Tumblr belongs to Verizon now and will exploit Black Lives Matter to make more money for Yahoo

Verizon has completed its acquisition of Tumblr parent company Yahoo, and is preventing Tumblr from participating in the day to save Net Neutrality next month on July 12, 2017.  Tumblr can also no longer freely participate in political protest like it did before.

Furthermore, Yahoo senior VP and head of Media Brands and Products Simon Khalaf gave a speech at the all-hands meeting at Tumblr last month, where he explicitly stated that Black Lives Matter is among several communities that the company should focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge, “Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to [make] a ton of money.”

Um... I'm sorry but aren't you a bit too old to be playing the sims? You're 44 for pete's sake.

Hm, interesting question, Anon. I’m not sure how to answer it without coming across as defensive. I don’t think there’s an age limit to playing the Sims, or any video game, really. I know a ton of Simmers who are my age or older (I’d hazard a guess that half the community consists of “older” Simmers). :) We enjoy the game because it makes us laugh, or it’s therapeutic, or a creative outlet. Should we stop because we’ve reached some magical grown-up age? Should I stop watching cartoons, too? I’m not being snarky here, I’m really curious. At what age do you think people should stop playing the Sims, and why?

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

May is also the month of Google I/O, our annual developer conference. Whether you’re learning to code, deploying a helpful tool, building your portfolio, or starting a new community, .foo, .zip, .mov and .nexus have you covered. 

Here are some examples from our developer community:

gamers . nexus: Use gamers . nexus to review computer hardware and plan your next gaming PC.

helloworld . foo: Learn how to code “hello world” in each programming language.

url . zip: Create short, powerful and trackable links with url . zip

david . mov: Watch videos by David Imel in this liminal space.

Starting today, you can register all of these new extensions as part of our Early Access Program for an additional one-time fee. This fee decreases according to a daily schedule through the end of May 10. On May 10 at 16:00 UTC, all of these domains will be publicly available at a base annual price through your registrar of choice. To make it super easy for anyone to get their website live, we’ve worked with Google Sites to launch new templates for graduates, professors and parents.

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.
