| White House says Trump position unchanged as Syria withdrawal plans slow Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:51 PM PST  Trump's abrupt announcement last month that he was bringing home the roughly 2,000 troops in Syria, saying they had succeeded in their mission to defeat Islamic State there, sparked concern among officials in Washington and allies abroad and prompted Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to resign. In recent days, Trump administration officials have applied the brakes, making clear the withdrawal will not happen quickly. The president himself said last week that the United States would get out of Syria slowly "over a period of time." "The president hasn't changed his position, as he mentioned his primary goal is to ensure the safety of our troops and the safety of our allies as well," White House spokeswoman Mercedes Schlapp told Fox News on Monday.

| US trafficking victim granted clemency over killing of man who bought her for sex as teenager Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:37 PM PST  AUS trafficking victim serving a life sentence for killing a man who bought her for sex when she was a teenager was granted clemency on Monday following a celebrity-backed viral campaign for her freedom. Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam said Cyntoia Brown, now 30, had been given "too harsh" a sentence for the 2004 murder of a real estate agent in the city of Nashville. Johnny Allen had picked up Brown, who was 16 at the time and a runaway under the influence of a dangerous pimp, and taken her to his home for sex. The ex-Army sharpshooter allegedly showed off his firearms and "grabbed" Brown forcefully between her legs. She said she shot him in fear for her life. A jury convicted Brown of first-degree murder and aggravated robbery, and she was given life with the possibility of parole after serving at least 51 years in prison. Calling the case "tragic and complex," Mr Haslam granted clemency under the condition of a 10-year parole. Brown will be released on August 7 after undergoing training on returning to society. "Cyntoia Brown committed, by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16," Haslam said in a statement. "Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life." Without the governor's intervention, Brown would have remained in prison at least until 2055. In a statement published by The Tennessean, Brown thanked her supporters and the governor and promised to "do everything I can to justify your faith in me." Brown's case was featured in a 2011 documentary, and was the subject of a social media campaign involving multiple celebrities who advocated for clemency, saying she should have been treated as a traumatised child victim of sex trafficking. "It's heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life," reality star Kim Kardashian wrote on Twitter in 2017. Last month, actress Ashley Judd implored her home state's governor to grant clemency by saying Brown "deserves our empathy and your mercy."

| Google worker behind 'anti-diversity memo' claims role in censored Chinese Search engine Posted: 08 Jan 2019 03:44 PM PST  A Google worker fired for "perpetuating gender stereotypes" has claimed he was working on the company's controversial Chinese search engine before he was sacked. James Damore, a computer engineer who whipped up a storm in Silicon Valley after claiming that the gender gap among technology workers was down to biological differences between men and women, said that he was one of the 100 workers working on the top secret Project Dragonfly. Google was forced to admit the existence of a censored Search engine late last year after a whistle-blower leaked it to the press. The Harvard University graduate also said that during his tenure at the Mountain View campus, he had reported a number of "legal issues" that had "probably not been fixed", without elaborating on what they were. The claims were made amid a twist in an ongoing legal battle between Google and Mr Damore, played out across social media on Monday evening. An anonymous person claiming to be a Google employee who was involved in the firing of Mr Damore, published a statement on popular link-sharing website Reddit that suggested Google had been spying on the software engineer and leaked stories to the press to try and drum up ill feeling toward him before he was sacked. Wow, a Google insider lays out how they conspired to quell dissent by making an example of me, manipulating the media, and lobbying the NLRB. It can't be fully verified, but they have intimate knowledge of the situation.https://t.co/UaSVHgS5vIpic.twitter.com/VsoR6RDI3x— James Damore (@JamesADamore) January 8, 2019 The post, which has since been shared by Mr Damore on Twitter, read: "We needed to make an example of Damore. Looking for some excuse to fire him, we spied on his phone and computer. We didn't find anything, although our spying probably made his devices unusably slow, preventing him from organizing support within the company. "When we did fire him, our reputation and integrity took a hit, but at least other employees were now afraid to speak up." Under the post, which was shared on Reddit, Mr Damore wrote "Whoah [sic], this would explain a lot. I was one of about 100 employees that knew about Dragonfly. "I also did report several legal issues in Search that they probably haven't fixed." A swarm of users were quick to comment on how the piece seemed questionable based on the "spy fiction novel" prose. Mr Damore was fired when his manifesto which accused the company of a "left bias" and a "politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence", was picked up by the media after sparking an internal row among staff. He is suing the company for unfair dismissal. The case has been regularly cited among right-leaning figureheads as what they claim is proof that technology is biased. Shortly after his sacking in August 2017, Wikileaks' Julian Assange offered Mr Damore a job, saying that "censorship is for losers". When asked whether Damore had been a part of the search engine, Google re-issued a statement first sent out in 2017 which read: "An important part of our culture is lively debate. But like any workplace, that doesn't mean that anything goes, as we explained here. We look forward to defending against Mr. Damore's claims."

| Authorities warn people to not eat chicken tenders spilled on roadside Posted: 07 Jan 2019 06:39 PM PST  We get it, cheapskates, free food is hard to resist. Especially when it comes in the form of delicious chicken tenders, but Alabama authorities have warned people to not eat any from boxes that were spilled from a 18-wheeler truck on Sunday. SEE ALSO: An 18-inch pizza has more pizza than two 12-inch pizzas, and people are losing it The crash on Highway 35 in Cherokee County prompted motorists to stop and pick up the truckload of spilled tenders, according to the Associated Press. Quick to say nope was the Cherokee County Emergency Management Agency, who warned on Facebook that it's a crime to stop and impede the flow of traffic with your chicken tender pilfering efforts. The agency also cautioned that the cases of tenders had been on the ground for more than 24 hours, and are thus unsafe to eat. Food poisoning ain't fun, people. According to one commenter on the post, the exact location of where to get the free chicken was shared on the Dekalb Buy and Sell Facebook page. "All the people commenting and the guy that posted it were so serious," the commenter wrote. Seems like they weren't the only ones who were keen. > Waiting for a rig hauling bbq sauce to get involved. > > -- Michael Carter (@mtnmedic64) January 7, 2019 > Oh my god there are free highway tenders in Cherokee County, I am going down there RIGHT NOW > > -- Buddy Luv (@TwiterPowerUser) January 7, 2019 > This is some real gov't overreach if you ask me https://t.co/QVtbzLVNV2 > > -- Max Lederman (@Max_Lederman) January 7, 2019 > but...CHICKEN TENDERS https://t.co/cCXV2U34mN > > -- Sheri Lynch (@sherilynch) January 7, 2019 If the roadside, likely off chicken wasn't enough to deter people from trying to get it -- as of Monday, there was none left. The spill had been cleaned up, according to another Facebook post by the Cherokee County Emergency Management Agency. So, if you scored some of the free roadside chicken tenders, maybe put it in the bin, not your mouth. ## WATCH: PepsiCo is using robots to deliver snacks to college students

| Smartphones are paving way for the Antichrist, says head of Russian church Posted: 08 Jan 2019 10:08 AM PST  The Russian Orthodox patriarch has warned that the popularity of smartphones is paving the way for the coming of the Antichrist. In an interview on state television for Russian Orthodox Christmas on Monday, Patriarch Kirill warned that the widespread use of gadgets connected to the Internet has opened the possibility for "universal control over humanity". The "devil acts very wisely" in offering people such a "toy", he said. "Such control from one place forebodes the coming of the Antichrist," Patriarch Kirill said. "The Antichrist is the person that will be at the head of the world wide web controlling all of humanity. That means that the structure itself poses a danger. There shouldn't be a single centre, at least not in the foreseeable future, if we don't want to bring on the apocalypse." The patriarch maintained he wasn't categorically against gadgets, but warned that people should be careful not to "fall into slavery to what's in your hands". "You should remain free inside and not fall under any addiction, not to alcohol, not to narcotics, not to gadgets," he said. The Russian Orthodox church has been trying to attract young believers, in part through the web. At a press conference featuring B-movie action star Steven Seagal in October, church officials announced they would create a council for youth affairs with a strong digital presence. Patriarch Kirill serves the Christmas Mass in the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, Russia Credit: AP But its leader, an outspoken opponent of feminism and gay rights, has remained suspicious of the Internet, which he previously criticised as the "enslavement of consciousness and volition" and a "marketplace of human vanity". Twitter users mostly laughed off Patriarch Kirill's latest warning. "Well, they'll ban international Internet in Russia so the 'Antichrist doesn't come through it,' but where's the guarantee that he won't come through Gundyayev's Breguet watch?" wrote one, referring to the patriarch by his surname. The Russian Orthodox church website photoshopped a Breguet watch worth at least £24,000 off of the patriarch's wrist in a 2012 picture, but it remained clearly visible in the reflection of his arm on a well-polished table. Last month, the church again came under fire over a priest who repeatedly posted photographs of himself with Gucci and Louis Vutton luxury bags and shoes on Instagram. The patriarch would seem to have bigger problems to worry about than iPhones, most notably a schism in the church. The top Orthodox leader in Istanbul signed a decree this weekend recognising a new independent Orthodox church in Ukraine, which will challenge the Russian Orthodox church's sway over the tens of millions of believers in that country. The Moscow church has broken off ties with the Constantinople patriarchate over the "blasphemous" decision. The decree on independence was displayed to the faithful at a Kiev cathedral on Monday.

The rebuke highlights the difficulties in implementing Trump's goal of bringing home some 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in Syria. Trump's plan, clouded by mixed messages from the president and his administration, hinges on Turkish cooperation to secure a huge swathe of northeast Syria as the United States departs.

| Mark Zuckerberg promises to host a series of public debates on the future of technology Posted: 08 Jan 2019 04:08 PM PST  Mark Zuckerberg has announced that his annual "personal challenge" for 2019 will be to host a series of public talks about the role of Facebook in society. The Facebook founder and chief executive said he would "engage more" with debates about the future of technology and "put [him]self out there" more than he had previously been "comfortable with". The challenge was a contrast with Mr Zuckerberg's 2018 goal of "fixing" Facebook's problems with hate speech, election interference and mindless browsing, in which he acknowledged that the social network had "a lot of work to do". "There are so many big questions about the world we want to live in and technology's place in it," said Mr Zuckerberg in a post on his personal Facebook page on Tuesday evening. "My challenge for 2019 is to host a series of public discussions about the future of technology in society -- the opportunities, the challenges, the hopes, and the anxieties. "This will be intellectually interesting, but there's a personal challenge for me here too... I'm going to put myself out there more than I've been comfortable with and engage more in some of these debates about the future, the tradeoffs we face, and where we want to go." He said that in the past he had let his ideas and products "speak for themselves", but that this was no longer good enough, hinting that he would be more forthright in defending Facebook from its critics. Tech wreck Big Tech shares have lost $1tn in value this year His post came after a year of unprecedented turbulence for the tech giant in which repeated privacy scandals and fears that its user growth had peaked drove its share price down by almost 40 per cent from its peak in July. In the last three months of 2018, Mr Zuckerberg paused plans to sell off shares in order to fund his philanthropy, though a Facebook spokesman declined to say why. Mr Zuckerberg's previous challenges have included wearing a neck tie every day to show that he was serious about his business, learning Mandarin Chinese, reading a new book every two weeks and visiting all 50 states of the USA. Reflecting on his 2018 goal, Mr Zuckerberg said he was "proud" of the progress he had made, citing Facebook's increased use of AI to remove fake accounts and terrorist content, its larger moderation team, its new transparency requirements for political adverts and changes to its news feed algorithm which prioritised friends and family over brands and publishers. But he warned that some problems, such as "harmful speech" or election interference, "can never fully be solved", echoing company statements over the past year that framed such issues as long-term battles that would never truly be won. The public talks, he said, will take place "every few weeks" and be broadcast via his Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as "other media".
