New unredacted documents don’t make Meta look good.
The new documents, show, among other things, CEO Mark Zuckerberg choosing to keep filters that simulate plastic surgery on its platforms — despite support from top executives to remove them and recommendations from independent experts that said the filters might be harmful to younger users.
The documents surfaced from a Massachusetts lawsuit that’s part of broader litigation alleging the company misled users about the safety of its products. You can read the unredacted documents here, and you can see the redacted version on Massachusetts’ website.

The Overwatch League is done.
“We are transitioning from the Overwatch League and evolving competitive Overwatch in a new direction,” an Activision Blizzard spokesperson said in a statement to PC Gamer. “We are grateful to everyone who made OWL possible and remain focused on building our vision of a revitalized esports program. We will share details with you all in the near future.”
There had been signs this might be coming, like Wednesday’s press release from Toronto Defiant’s owner announcing its exit from the league. In October, Activision Blizzard said it was building a “revitalized esports program” for Overwatch.

NASA’s free, ad-free, and subscription-free streaming service has officially launched. I’m personally a fan of the “Space Out” series tagged under “NASA & Chill,” which are 30-minute shows featuring incredible shots of planets and space stuff all backed by chill music.
