Instagram faz mudança para barrar fake news nas eleições dos EUA

Aba organiza as hashtags em ordem cronológica e amplia a distribuição de conteúdo Freepik

Com o objetivo de evitar a disseminação de desinformação em torno da eleição presidencial de 3 de novembro, o Instagram informou na quinta-feira (29), por meio de comunicado no Twitter, que removeu temporariamente a aba “Recent” para usuários da plataforma nos Estados Unidos.

“Estamos fazendo isso para reduzir a disseminação em tempo real de conteúdo potencialmente prejudicial que pode surgir durante a eleição”, afirmou o comunicado.

A aba “Recent” do Instagram organiza as hashtags em ordem cronológica e amplia a distribuição do conteúdo. Pesquisadores alertaram que essa amplificação automática pode levar à rápida disseminação de informações incorretas na plataforma.

A medida ocorre no momento em que as empresas de mídia social enfrentam uma pressão crescente para combater a desinformação relacionada às eleições e se preparam para a possibilidade de violência ou intimidação nas urnas perto das votações de 3 de novembro.

No início deste mês, o Twitter disse que removerá os tuítes que pedem aos usuários que interfiram no processo eleitoral dos EUA ou na cumprimento dos resultados eleitorais, inclusive por meio de violência.

Separadamente, na quinta-feira, o Facebook reconheceu que um erro técnico em seus sistemas fez com que uma série de anúncios dos partidos Republicano e Democrata fossem pausados indevidamente.

Foi o resultado de uma mudança de política anunciada pelo Facebook no mês passado para bloquear novos anúncios políticos na semana anterior às eleições. O Facebook disse que fez atualizações para permitir a exibição dos anúncios afetados.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

King Haakon VIII of Norway and his lifelong love of surfing

When Haakon VIII became King of Norway on August 28, 2026, the world learned more about the man behind the crown. Former Crown Prince Haakon is a sailor, skier, outdoor enthusiast, and, perhaps most surprisingly for a European monarch, a committed surfer. Nevertheless, he's not the first. Charles III , King of England, has surfed before, as have previous British royals . But let's focus on the newly crowned Norwegian king who has already spent years chasing waves. Haakon surfed in California while studying at the University of California, Berkeley, and later returned to the water in Norway with his family. The Nordic royal helped bring the European Surfing Championships (Eurosurf) to Norway and watched his daughter compete in the sport. Then, in a 2023 interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK, he revealed how serious his surfing ambitions might once have been. Are you curious already? Let's see how surfing conquered Haakon VIII. A royal discovers surfing in Californ...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...
