Damned if you do: social media and content moderation

Twitter’s chief executive, Jack Dorsey, will probably be unable to avoid appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday. The committee, which has a Republican majority, votes today on whether to summon him. Lindsey Graham, its chair, thinks Twitter censored a news story alleging sleazy behaviour by Hunter Biden, the son of the Democratic presidential nominee. Mr Dorsey says Twitter initially blocked links because it suspected materials for the story were hacked. It later allowed the story to be shared, but the hearings are sure to be fiery and wide-ranging. Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have been blocking or putting warning labels on politically explosive content more often: unfounded warnings about voting by mail (some spread by President Donald Trump); QAnon, a lurid conspiracy theory; anti-vaccine misinformation; and more. Silicon Valley’s social-media companies began with the dream that information wants to be free; they seem not to have prepared for how misinformation does, too.

Parallel universe: China’s growth

A post-pandemic recovery feels like a distant dream for much of the world. China is the big exception. Not only is its economy growing, but it has nearly returned to its pre-covid pace. Data published today will show that GDP in the third quarter probably expanded by about 5% compared with a year earlier. Until vaccines are rolled out, other countries will struggle to match China’s feat. It got one critical thing right: by almost entirely stamping out the virus, it has been able to allow activity to resume with few restrictions in place. Schools are fully open, factories are running at full tilt and shopping malls are bustling. China is also fortunate in one critical dimension: as a continent-sized economy, it is better insulated from weak global demand than smaller countries such as New Zealand that have also done a good job of containing covid-19.

pace: 速度 节奏，步伐

with a year earlier: 较早一年

Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, has said another round of economic relief is necessary to bolster the economy and prevent millions falling into poverty.

Zalando reached an agreement to buy Fision, a body-scanning company. The online clothing retailer’s policy of free, no-questions-asked returns helped it rise to prominence. But returns are also a big cost: about half of all items are sent back. As online clothes-shopping grows during the pandemic, Zalando hopes that Fision’s technology will help customers get the right fit the first time.

prominence：出名，卓越，突出

Instagram will make changes in its rules for “influencers”: people paid for conspicuously using a product in the photos they share on the platform. Britain’s Competition and Markets Authority says these amount to advertising. Instagram will do more to make paid promotion clear as such. The rules affect users in Britain and anyone who “directs their posts towards Instagram users in the UK”.

conspicuously：明显地，显著地
amount to：接近，意味着，发展成

Liberty Steel, a privately held company owned by the Gupta family, offered to buy the steel division of Thyssenkrupp, a German industrial conglomerate. The purchase would unite Europe’s fourth- and second-biggest steelmakers respectively. However, some trade unions, fearing job losses, are lobbying hard against the deal. They want the German government to take a stake in Thyssenkrupp instead.

conglomerate：联合大公司，企业集团
respectively：分别，各自
trade union：工会
lobby：游说（从政者或政府）
take a stake in 入股

😑 企业门口也能有斑马线

Turning purple: the presidential race in the south

There is probably no better place in Georgia for Donald Trump to rally supporters than Macon, where he will appear this evening. Though Macon–Bibb County, which is largely African-American, backed Hillary Clinton in 2016, the surrounding counties are deeply conservative. Mr Trump needs votes there to offset his presumptive losses in Atlanta and its suburbs—the candidates are currently neck-and-neck in Georgia. The days of the Republican solid South are fading. Virginia is now safely Democratic. Joe Biden holds a small but steady lead in North Carolina. Besides Georgia, Florida and even Texas, which no Democrat has won since Jimmy Carter in 1976, are all in play. The South is changing: Atlanta’s suburbs are multiracial and Georgia’s black and Latino populations are growing faster than whites. North Carolina’s Research Triangle draws talent from all over the world. Virginia’s population now centres around the wealthy, highly educated suburbs of Washington, DC. The South’s future is purple.

rally：集合，召集

Macon: (地名)梅肯

back：支持，帮助

conservetive：守旧派，保守党

offset：抵消，补偿

presumptive：假设的，推测的

suburb：郊区，城外

neck-and-neck：齐头并进

The Republican: 共和党

The Democratic: 民主党

in play：在比赛中，在起作用

multiracial：多种族的

draw talent：吸引人才

centre around：集中于，包围

Research Triangle: （机构名）三角研究院

注: purple 紫色州，是摇摆州，指的是在美国总统大选中，民主党和共和党势均力敌的州。

昨天一直在各种表格里穿梭，晚上十点多到家已经没力气了。也就没整理昨天的英文阅读，争取晚上整理出来，补上昨天的

Boris Johnson said that Britain should prepare to have no trade deal with the European Union when the Brexit transition period ends on December 31st. The British prime minister accused the EU of blocking a “Canada-style” deal, saying the outcome will be a looser “Australia-style” arrangement—ie, no deal at all. A briefing by his spokesman to journalists was more blunt: “The talks are over.” Unless, that is, the EU changes its negotiating position: fisheries and state aid are the main areas of disagreement.

Brexit: (Brixit) 英国退出欧盟，British exit or British exiting from the EU

transition：过度，转变

blunt：嘴直的，直言的

fisheries：渔业

state aid：国家补助
