Facebook to revise dealing with measures of "hate speech"

Facebook pledged to review their measures to deal with content "controversial, harmful and hateful" after conceding that their current system is inefficient . The pressure from the media, campaign groups and advertisers has led to the company confirming that it will deploy the changes immediately, in order to remove the content faster and adjusting the criteria used to determine the removal. The announcement follows the backtrack of the company in May, over the decision not to remove a video of a man being beheaded and recent withdrawal of Nissan and Nationwide advertising.

Chinese hackers steal plans at the headquarters of the spy agency top of Australia?

In a move that looks more like a forage action movie than real life, ABC reports that Chinese hackers have stolen the plans to seat brand new top spy agency of Australia. The plans are said to include floor plans, server locations, security systems and communication wiring, and were swiped from a contractor working on the building in a targeted cyber attack.

Professor Des Ball, an expert in cyber security at the Australian National University, warned in the report that access to such plans could allow hackers to work out which rooms treat the most sensitive information and - more worryingly - how the monitor. The spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Hong Lei, accused claims to be "unfounded" while others said it was a clear sign of "US distrust."

Cuba began to offer limited public Internet

Cuba has one of the lowest levels of Internet access in the world, but now the Cuban government has unveiled plans to expand the public access to the Internet with 118 points of the Internet across the country from June 4 new items provide more flexibility for citizens, who can now access the Internet in places like schools, offices and luxury hotels. Restrictions that prevent the majority of people to get online at home, however, are set to stay in place, as well as the policy to monitor Internet traffic of the government - although some residents are hoping that this evolution marks the beginning of a significant change.
