"Celebrity Big Brother leaked video appears to prove show is scripted":

While Celebrity Big Brother was being aired LIVE the video linked above apparently shows what is to be accidental leaked footage of the show being scripted. Big Brother’s voice over announced further instruction to the finalists after contestants were to sleep. “This is Big Brother: Housemates, just listen to Big Brother again,” the announcement said. “Big Brother will tell you that tomorrow is a really, really, big day for all of you, and it will start quite early and end quite late.

“So what Big Brother would suggest is that you all wash your teeth, get whatever washing you need done and then call it a night relatively quickly.”

What blew it for the fans was this:

 “Great take guys,” Norwood said as he bounced back out of bed. "Great take."

However, later on there were plausible explanations for this, such as the footage being simply wanted to be used for production/editing purposes. "The show isn't fake. What they did was for production/editing purposes only, for the final show. On the final clip of house action during the live final, they like to show big brother saying good night, as they all go to sleep. Obviously in reality, they all sleep at different times. So they did this. It's for production only, similar to them adding music, replays of past convo's and onscreen name tags. It does make them look silly but doesn't make the show fake."

Whether this scene was scripted or not, or the entire show for matter, Celebrity Big Brother still has produced entertainment for their viewers, and that is what matters more in my opinion, but some fans have taken their beloved show for resentment and expressed their grief on Twitter.

"Are mobiles changing how we shop?":

The article discusses how mobiles once changed peoples' social lives and work ethics, but now it has taken its toll against people's wallets and as a result, changing peoples' buying habits too. Tina Spooner, chief information officer at IMRG claims smartphones manage too much of peoples' lives, therefore it is no surprise that people use it for almost everything too that's possible with it. It is simply more convenient, maybe too much that it makes people lazy.

•  49 per cent of online sales came through traditional computers
• 51 per cent of online sales between November and January in the UK involved hand-held devices rather than traditional computers or laptops.

Online shopping comes with consequential risks such as getting your credit card stolen if a user enters it on a non-trusted site or has their machine infected. Another reason to not shop online is also that it undoubtedly has made buyers lazier, perhaps made them even easier to want to spend money, necessary or not simply from online convenience. Pictures can also deceive people, in the shopping sense that when it arrives it looks different or doesn't fit a certain function, leaving consumers unsatisfied. This is apparent with clothing shopping, where for example a certain size may not be what it is labelled at etc. Conclusion: recommend to shop for clothes in stores!

 

The impact of Google:

1. ) As we know, newspapers are a dying media and this is the apparent cause for not even revenue being generated in order to compensate for other starting costs, and as a result Google has declined the newspaper industry.
2. )   'Google critics note how much advertising money has disappeared from the newspaper business over the past decade or so — more than $40 billion, or about 60 percent of the ad revenue the industry generated at its peak in 2000, according to figures from the Newspaper Association of America — and they draw a direct line connecting that with the in advertising revenue that Google brings in every year from AdWords.'
3. ) After the year 2000, the age of the online has taken its toll against newspapers, simply from the fact that online is more convenient and sometimes free. Illustrated by the graph, within a decade from 2000 to 2010 newspapers have gone from $58 million to $20 million and lower.
4. ) The world and its structure is always evolving and changing, so it would be unfair and cynical for any newspaper institution to say that Google captured their market.

"What does a feminist internet look like?"

The article demonstrates the vulnerability feminists face, and at an online level it is worse.

The article discusses and displays figures such as 'a 10% increase in number of prosecutions for violence against women and girls in England and Wales" in a year. As well as 'more than 6,500 individuals had been subjected to 10,000 aggressive and misogynistic tweets over a three-week period in the UK, and 80,000 people had been targeted by 200,000 such tweets internationally." Feminists are triggered by these statistics and intend to change it, and as the article writes, an organisations by the name 'AWIDForum' brought together feminists around the world to imagine feminist futures. 

• 10% increase in number of prosecutions for violence against women and girls in England and Wales
• more than 6,500 individuals had been subjected to 10,000 aggressive and misogynistic tweets over a three-week period in the UK
• Globally, women spend 5.88 hours, compared to men who spend 4.75 hours

Probably most of the time when a male says something that may seem derogatory and ridicule women, it was just to get a reaction out of them and while some take it for a joke, some don't and take it for more than what it meant out to be. However, distinctively there are more consequential cases of misogyny where feminists have earned their right to have a say, such as intentionally victims being harassed by people on a sexual level, e.g. leaving a sexual comment under an individual picture, or sharing their picture without consent. So in my opinion, it is sometimes necessary and sometimes unnecessary to take action as a feminist, depending on the severity of the situation.

"Nudity and Facebook's censors have a long history"

The article discusses how Facebook sometimes censors nudity, abiding by the law, which sometimes can be the case regarding political affairs such as a completely nude girl in the southern Vietnam napalm attack. The article also discusses other content such as breastfeeding, which is regarded as nudity by Facebook, but allows other graphic content such as animals in context of food processing or hunting as it occurs in nature. 

Facebook's explanation to this was that pictures are processed by automated machines, therefore they have no human intervention and judgement on it's appropriateness. 

• Facebook doesn't allow natural things such as breastfeeding, but allows graphic images of animal being processed for foods and hunted
• Facebook uses automated processing, so there is no human intervention to give a judgement on the picture

I personally think for example, political pictures should not be carelessly be taken down, therefore to avoid this publishers will need to censor areas of the picture that violate guidelines THEN post them. Or entirely, they could post the picture on another platform, but as it is for now, they must abide by the rules of the media they're currently using.
