SI-NBA.com

SI-NBA.com is another fake news site from the same mold as FoxNews-us.com and NYTimes-us.com.

The domain was registered on June 28th, 2018.  The WHOIS page only shows info about the Registrant State/Province (New South Wales) and the Registrant Country (AU).

The top story on SI-NBA.com is titled: "SEASON OVER – Lebron James Ruptures Achilles In Lakers Practice."  It was published August 9th, and it's obviously fake news.  I looked around, and it doesn't appear anyone has been sharing the story.  Incidentally, the photo in the article (showing LeBron James and a grimacing Kobe Bryant) was taken from a recent post on ClutchPoints.com

Invasion of the Instagram account snatchers

Mashable wrote about a massive Instagram hack that took place earlier this month:

BreakingUSA.us, MICHELLEa2 and SANDRAx1

There are two Reddit accounts spamming the site "BreakingUSA.us."

The accounts are /u/MICHELLEa2 and /u/SANDRAx1.

BreakingUSA.us is a political site that copies-and-pastes stories from other news outlets.  For example, an article on BreakingUSA.us titled "President Trump Has Had It With AG Sessions – Hits Him So Hard It Scared Him Stiff" was a copy of a Right Wing News article.   BreakingUSA.us also contains AdSense ads (ca-pub-5463543759997951).

MICHELLEa2 and SANDRAx1 have had some luck spamming their posts in /r/The_Donald, although none of their posts have actually broken 100 upvotes yet.

BreakingUSA.us has a Twitter account with 32 followers and a Facebook page with 51 likes.  The domain is registered to a "Awais Mughal" in Pakistan.

Realtiven.xyz

Come on, Realtiven.xyz, who are you trying to fool?

Your article from August, 2018, is titled: "Amazon quietly reduces free shipping minimum back to $35/order for non-Prime members"

A GeekWire article from February 21, 2017, is titled: "Amazon quietly reduces free shipping minimum back to $35/order for non-Prime members"

Your opening:

Facing new competition from Walmart’s free shipping program, Amazon has reverted to a minimum order of $35 for people who aren’t members of its Prime subscription program to qualify for free shipping.

The move comes a year after Amazon increased the threshold to $49 per order, and a few weeks after Walmart introduced its new $35 minimum order policy for free shipping. 

The opening from GeekWire:

You're using somebody else's content, and your site has AdSense ads?  That's just sketchy.

Alex Jones's follower count is surging on Twitter

Alex Jones and his InfoWars program have now been banned from YouTube, Facebook, iTunes and Spotify.  Nevertheless, Alex Jones still maintains a verified account on Twitter (much to the irritation of tech journalists).  Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey, has stated there are no immediate plans to ban Jones from the platform:

We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday. We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules. We’ll enforce if he does. And we’ll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren’t artificially amplified.

— jack (@jack) August 8, 2018

Jones is being treated well by Twitter in more ways than one.  According to SocialBlade, Jones has gained 42,592 new followers over the past 3 to 4 days.  Previously, Jones was gaining about 400 followers per day.

This jump makes sense.  If somebody wishes to "follow" Alex Jones on social media, Twitter is the only decent option remaining.  I wonder how long until he passes a million followers?

A compilation of people calling Jack Dorsey a Nazi

A modest compilation:

We all know jack is a nazi and a sack of Shit.

— Ban Trump, Fuck The NRA (@Ban_Trump_Now) August 8, 2018

Is that time that y'all accept that @jack is a nazi.

— ʎǝdnɔ ɟo ǝʞnp (@jlojno) August 8, 2018

Jack is a Nazi, are you surprised his Moral Takes stink of sympathizing with oppressors?

— Lani (@laaaaaaaaani) August 8, 2018

@jack is a Nazi, it really is that simple.

— Wade W. Wilson (@evilgjb) August 8, 2018

we all know who @jack is — a nazi-sympathizing piece of silicon valley trash who should be drawn and quartered. i implore all of us to consider leaving this hellhole of a website for good. pic.twitter.com/gvJTJ0xgT1

— assbutt (@evilassbutt) August 8, 2018

It's becoming more and more apparent that @jack is a nazi.

— john donelkovich (@walnutbackpack) August 8, 2018

@jack is a NAZI. Pure garbage. https://t.co/lrJYOTtCh1

— Julie (⛽kill ) 🌲🔥😚👌😤 #420Love (@missjulie420) August 8, 2018

@jack is a nazi

— BLM ❤️POCM❤️TRANSLM (@TheGirlNYC) August 8, 2018

@jack is a proud Nazi.

— Hiri David Feign (@HiriDavidFeign) August 8, 2018

The fact that @jack has consistently refused to deal with the fucking Nazis on his site leads me to conclude that @jack is a fucking Nazi.

— Robynne (@vinegarworks) August 8, 2018

The night we found out children were being kept in cages @jack went to a GOP fundraiser.

The day after refusing to ban Alex Jones he’s going on Hannity.

I apologize for ever calling him a Nazi sympathizer. He’s just a Nazi.

NYTiwes.com copy-and-paste job

NYTiwes.com is a fake news site, and it recently garnered attention by publishing a death hoax about singer Demi Lovato.  (LeadStories debunked the hoax here.) 

NYTiwes.com also does this annoying thing where they copy-and-paste the entirety of a story from another news outlet, and then insert one line at the end acknowledging the source.  For instance, this post titled "Margot Robbie Joins Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron in Fox News Movie" copies the entirety of a Hollywood Reporter article.  At the bottom of the post it says: "Source: hollywoodreporter.com"
   

At least they're not taking credit for writing the story.
