Russian Facebook trolls advocated killing ‘dangerous illegal aliens’

This just keeps getting worse. Another messed-up shoe has dropped in the ongoing saga of Facebook’s influence on the 2016 U.S. presidential election. This time, it’s the revelation that Russian-linked troll accounts called for race-based violence. 

Facebook has so far refused to publicly release the Russian-backed ads that ran on its platform, potentially reaching up to 126 million Americans in the process. But that didn’t stop Jonathan Albright of Columbia University’s Tow Center for Digital Journalism from collecting and collating the contents of six (now removed) Russian-linked groups reportedly created by the Internet Research Agency.  Read more…

These truly wireless earbuds are on sale for more than 25% off

Just to let you know, if you buy something featured here, Mashable might earn an affiliate commission.

The first headphones were invented in 1919 as a way to listen to electrical audio. Since then, headphones have received a serious upgrade. They’re no longer essential for listening to music — we now have speakers and amplifiers for that — so it’s important to make them as user-friendly as possible. 

Today, headphones are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Some models are even noise-canceling or Bluetooth-compatible, which ultimately makes listening to a song, audiobook, or podcast more enjoyable. Read more…
