Liveblog: Get the Latest News From Facebook F8 as It Happens
ON TUESDAY, APRIL 18, in San Jose, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivers his keynote at the
F8 conference,
Facebook’s biggest public event of the year. F8 is a developer show, so expect lots of talk about new code releases and tools for building things for Facebook. Of course the annual event generates a ton of news for regular folk too as the company outlines new features and capabilities for the nearly two billion people who use Facebook regularly. That’s the meat of F8, the stuff to get excited about.
Zuck’s keynote starts at 10 am PDT (1 pm EDT) and runs for 90 minutes. We’ll be liveblogging the whole thing. Sure, you can
live stream F8 as well, but we’re going to liveblog it anyway. Why liveblog something you can just watch for yourself? Well, because we love liveblogs of course! We’ll have WIRED writers David Pierce and Brian Barrett posting live updates and offering their analysis of each bit of F8 news: why it matters, who it’s for, and what to expect from Facebook going forward. We recommend joining the liveblog and leaving it open as a compliment to the live video feed. You’ll get Zuck’s smiling face in one window, and all of that brilliant WIRED insight in the other.
Join us right here on Tuesday morning. We’re going live at 9 am PDT, one hour before the event starts.

Table of contents Have you ever been harassed in the street? Received a crass message on a dating app? Had a coworker make a comment about your appearance that just didn’t sit right? You’re not alone. With the #MeToo movement, it’s easy to log onto Twitter or Facebook and see just how many women are victims of sexual harassment. Whether in person or online, women everywhere have experienced it in one way or another. And with all the new ways the internet has opened avenues of communication, online harassment is more prevalent than ever . According to a study by the Pew Research Center, most online abuse takes place on social media . Although men are also subject to online harassment – which includes name calling, derision, and physical threats – the study found that online, women are more than twice as likely as men to experience sexual harassment . In addition, more than half of women ages 18-29 report having been sent sexually explicit images without
NEW YORK (AP) — AlphaBay, the now-shuttered online marketplace that authorities say traded in illegal drugs, firearms and counterfeit goods, wasn’t all that different from any other e-commerce site, court documents show. Not only did it work hard to match buyers and sellers and to stamp out fraud, it offered dispute-resolution services when things went awry and kept a public-relations manager to promote the site to new users. Of course, AlphaBay was no eBay. It went to great lengths to hide the identities of its vendors and customers, and it promoted money-laundering services to mask the flow of bitcoin and other digital currencies from prying eyes. Such “darknet” sites operate in an anonymity-friendly internet netherworld that’s inaccessible to ordinary browsers. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering just how they really work, a U.S. criminal case unveiled Thursday offers an eye-opening look. ___ WHAT IS ALPHABAY? U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions calls it the

King Salman has said it is to take effect from June 2018; the delay seems intended to get conservatives accustomed to a highly visible social change and deal with the practicalities of training female driving instructors and traffic police. Why has this change happened now, after so long? It is partly the result of top-down factors, as a new crown prince ushers in a new style of politics. It also reflects changes coming from deep within a society that may be highly religious, but is also very young and faces a new economic future.
