Papua New Guinea Banning Facebook For A Month


In a bid to crack down on fake accounts and also to research the effects of the world’s largest social network on the population, Papua New Guinea has decided to ban Facebook for one month. The country’s communication minister Sam Basil has said that the one month ban will enable the communication ministry to “filter” fake accounts and pornography, adding that the move will help people with real identities to use Facebook responsibly.

Basil explained the ban by saying that the time Facebook is inaccessible in the country will allow “information to be collected to identify users that hide behind fake accounts, users that upload pornographic images, users that post false and misleading information on Facebook to be filtered and removed.”

He pointed to the recent data misuse scandal that Facebook was ensnared by as well as the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and said that these cases involving Facebook “show us the vulnerabilities that Papua New Guinean citizens and residents on their personal data and exchanges when using this social network.”

The country has even been mulling the possibility of creating a social network for its citizens to use with “genuine profiles,” though with experts saying that since the vast majority of people in the country don’t use Facebook to begin with, this ban isn’t going to have a major effect on the population.

Arrested Development Season 5 Released On Netflix


Fox aired the first three seasons of Arrested Development in the early 2000s and then canceled the show after it didn’t take off the way the network had imagined it would. However, it has always retained a cult following which compelled Netflix to sign a deal in 2013 to bring the show back for a fourth season after Fox gave up on it. It has taken Netflix some time to get everyone back together for a fifth season but that finally happened and starting today, all episodes of Arrested Development season 5 are available for streaming on Netflix.

The new season is much more in sync with the first three seasons of the show than the fourth season was. Many fans felt that the last season was disjointed and confusing so it’s good to see that the people behind the show took notice of that and made amends.

Fans of the show will already be well aware that the new season brings back the entire original cast which includes Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, David Cross, and others.

Arrested Development season 5 has 16 episodes but the release has been split into two parts. The first eight episodes are now available on Netflix while the remaining eight will be released at some point in the second half of this year.

256GB OnePlus 6 Already Out Of Stock


OnePlus only recently started selling its new flagship smartphone and it appears that the one with the most onboard storage has become particularly popular with customers. It has only been a week since the company started selling the device and it’s already sold out of the 256GB OnePlus 6. This variant also features 8GB of RAM and costs $629, a full $100 above the base model of the device.

OnePlus offers three variants to customers in the United States. The base model costs $529 and comes with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Those who want a bit more storage can pay $579 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. The top-of-the-line model is the one with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage which costs $629.

You can head over to the company’s official website right now from where it sells the device and see that the $629 variant is sold out. It hasn’t just sold out of this model in the United States, customers in Canada and the United Kingdom can’t buy the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant of the OnePlus 6 right now.

It remains to be seen, though, how long it will take for the company to restock this particular variant which seems to be quite popular with its customers.
