On this episode of Lawfare's Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic talked about how everything is on fire—not metaphorically, but literally. In recent months, wildfires in the American West have caused unprecedented devastation and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes. And along with the fires, the West has been grappling with a surge of false material circulating online about the flames. But this isn't the first time wildfires and disinformation have gone together. This past December and January, Australia was hit with both a brutal bushfire season and a similar wave of disinformation and misinformation about what sparked the fires and the role of climate change.Evelyn and Quinta spoke about the offline and online conflagrations on both sides of the Pacific with Charlie Warzel of the New York Times and Cam Wilson, a reporter for Gizmodo Australia and Business Insider Australia.

Welcome to Bits, your daily tech news bulletin, for Wednesday, May 5, I'm Seamus Byrne.Officeworks has removed Apple AirTags from store shelves over child safety concerns. After initially going on sale, the products have been removed from shelves and from the online store, including AirTags accessory products. The ACCC confirmed to Gizmodo Australia that it is aware of concerns over accessibility to the button battery inside AirTags, but did not say it was involved with the decision. AirTags are still available from most other major Apple retailers.https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/05/officeworks-has-pulled-apples-airtags-from-sale-over-safety-concerns/Telstra has been hit with a $1.5M fine after it stopped porting phone numbers in March last year due to the impact of COVID-19 on its offshore operations. The Australian Communications and Media Authority issued the fine after finding Telstra unilaterally cancelled transfer requests for months, and once it resumed transfer processing in July it was still dealing with a backlog of requests until October. ACMA says it took into consideration the pandemic when deciding on the size of the fine, which could have been as much as $250,000 per infringement.https://www.zdnet.com/article/telstra-pays-au1-5m-fine-after-preventing-number-porting-due-to-covid-hitting-offshore/Privacy-focused encrypted messaging service Signal has had its advertising account blocked by Facebook after running ads on Instagram that showed users just how much information it could access about them through Facebook's ad platform. Using Facebook's ad targeting systems, it displayed text like "You got this ad because you're a newlywed pilates instructor and you're cartoon crazy, you're into parenting blogs and you're thinking about LGBTQ adoption." Heaven forbid users are told directly how they've been targeted like that...https://www.slashgear.com/facebook-shut-down-signals-ads-because-they-exposed-too-much-04671574/In better news at the same company, Instagram has added a new caption feature to make videos more accessible with no sound. Rolling out today, you can now choose a Caption Sticker option from the Sticker tray and Instagram will run a speech-to-text conversion and apply it to your video. The feature will be available for Stories first and will head to Reels at a later date.https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/04/instagram-adds-a-captions-option-for-stories-and-soon-reels/If you haven't gotten around to performing a final farewell to Adobe Flash, Microsoft has announced it will shift the update that removes it from Windows 10 systems from optional to integrated with the standard cumulative patch cycle in June and July. Adobe officially discontinued Flash on December 31, 2020 and while it brought the early web to life with amazing interactive features far before HTML could handle it, Flash became a hotbed for malicious activity in its twilight years.https://www.zdnet.com/article/adobe-flash-microsoft-lays-out-plans-to-remove-it-from-windows-10-pcs-for-good/In space, the NASA Parker Space Probe has now reached speeds faster than any human made vehicle in history. Late last week the probe made its closest approach yet to the Sun at a distance of 10 million kilometres and was travelling at a speed of 150km per second. New Scientist pegs that speed at around 0.05 percent of the speed of light. Over a series of fly bys over the next four years, and using a slingshot manoeuvre around Venus on each loop, it is expected to top out at around 200km per second.https://www.newscientist.com/article/2276358-nasas-parker-solar-probe-has-gone-faster-than-any-spacecraft-ever/Disney did indeed make some reveals overnight for Star Wars Day, with a range of art releases and a new Bad Batch series on Disney Plus. But the most exciting reveal is a 'real' lightsaber that will appear as part of special performances at the Star Wars Galactic Cruiser resort set...
