The might of two world leaders was not enough to withstand the desperate need for an instantly viral selfie. United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were walking along at the Ben Gurion Airport in Israel on Monday when an Israeli politician stepped in with a ready smartphone. A note about that politician: Oren Hazan, 35 years old and a member of parliament, really likes Trump. Hazan only follows one person on Twitter, and that person is the The Donald.

On Sunday afternoon we learned about Facebook’s internal content moderation rules from a massive leak by The Guardian.It confirmed what a lot of people had long suspected:Facebook is making it up as they go along and we’re the collateral damage. The leaked moderator documents cover how to deal with depictions of things like self-harm and animal cruelty in exceedingly detailed ways.

The Leader Of The Free World unleashed a tweetstorm on Friday, mainly focused on the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties with the Russian government, with some hallmark media bashing thrown in. In half-dozen tweets, Trump repeated his previous attacks on Democrats and the media, suggested he would halt press briefings, and threatened former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired Tuesday evening. That's a lot to pack into roughly 840 characters or less.

You've probably never heard of this platform, but it's already surpassed Twitter in terms of users. According to Weibo's first quarter results, it has a whopping 340 million active monthly users, a 30% increase from its previous year. Twitter has around 328 million active monthly users in comparison. Of course, it doesn't help that Twitter is blocked in China, along with other social media giants like Facebook.

Uh, so, okay: This is real. President Donald Trump is going to take part in a live Twitter forum when he visits Saudi Arabia on Friday, according to National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster. Here's video from a Tuesday briefing that proves this is more than an idea: So the plan appears to be that young people in Saudi Arabia will have some kind of dialogue with the president, and the youngsters can live-tweet whatever the president says.

President Donald Trump is all about togetherness this weekend. POTUS woke up, skipped his usual vicious Saturday morning tweetstorm, and instead, waited until the afternoon to tweet a simple, yet powerfully unifying two letters in the form of the word: "We." Now, we're assuming this was an accidental tweet — which Trump, along with his Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, are very familiar with — because the message was promptly deleted.

What do you get when you cross 200 protesters with a Donald Trump-branded golf course? It's not a joke; this actually happened, and those 200 protesters hit the dirt at southern California's Trump National Golf Club to spell out an emphatic statement: "RESIST!" The group in question is the San Pedro chapter of Indivisible, a nationwide network that formed after the 2016 election.

For all its talk about creating a more "open and connected world", Facebook appears to be quietly pandering to more government requests for censorship. The social giant on Tuesday said that it would consider blocking local content on Facebook in Thailand, on a case-by-case basis, in response to a request by the Thai government to block some 600 local Facebook pages. “When governments believe that something on the Internet violates their laws, they may contact [us].

Sometimes the world throws a thing at its inhabitants that requires everyone to blink a few times to reset their brains around their new collective reality.

President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey around that time, amid an FBI investigation into the Trump campaign's potential connections to the Russian government.

A WhatsApp group admin in India has courted trouble for circulating morphed images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The 30-year-old man was reportedly arrested in the state of Karnataka, and later released on bail. As strange as it may sound, two Indian state governments had issued directives last year, saying that social media admins were liable for content circulated in groups.
