This awful tabloid predicts a killer asteroid almost every day.
Take an article about what the tabloid called an “asteroid swarm” of 16 space rocks “hurtling towards Earth.” Scroll down several paragraphs — and past a few images of gigantic fireballs crashing into our planet — and you’ll read that all 16 asteroids will safely sail by.

Getting Stories from the Command Line.
Using command line tools whois and grep, the Financial Times found out who registered the website and retrieved a phone number.
I appreciate the article’s idea/lism on teaching journalists some computer tricks for their research. However, either its inception was way before the GDPR came into effect or it just outright wants to fool people tools like whois can still (i.e. under GDPR) be used reliably as an investigative tool.

On social media, we are at the mercy of the platform. It crops our images the way it wants to. It puts our posts in the same, uniform grids. We are yet another profile contained in a platform with a million others, pushed around by the changing tides of a company's whims. Algorithms determine where our posts show up in people’s feeds and in what order, how someone swipes through our photos, where we can and can’t post a link. The company decides whether we're in violation of privacy laws for sharing content we created ourselves. It can ban or shut us down without notice or explanation. On social media, we are not in control.
