Since 2016, social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have vowed to crack down on misinformation related to elections.

After a wave of bad press involving police partnerships, hacking, and other privacy violations, Amazon’s Ring doorbell has released an update.
On Friday, the smart device’s mobile app rolled out a new control center that grants users more authority over their privacy and security settings. You’ll now be able to add and remove shared users on an account, restrict third-party access, view two-factor authentication settings, and (perhaps, most importantly) opt out of all video request notifications from law enforcement.
Uncovered in reporting by Motherboard and Gizmodo in 2019, the scale of Amazon’s Neighbor Portal program is much larger than originally believed — and its various affiliations with law enforcement has raised alarming ethical questions.
American Airlines and Delta Air Lines announced more flight cancellations to China on Saturday as coronavirus cases rise rapidly.
Delta said it will suspend flights between the United States and China starting on Sunday until at least April 30, according to a press release.
That’s four days earlier than it had initially planned. Delta’s last China-bound flight leaves on Saturday, February 1 and its last returning flight from China to the United States leaves on Sunday.
Delta moved the date up after the US State Department warned this week that people should not travel to China due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus, which was first discovered in Wuhan, China, in December.

The accrual method recognizes credits and debits, regardless of whether or not a monetary transaction has been made.
If you switch from cash to accrual accounting, you will need to receive permission from the IRS.

My very first job was in a cheese factory, moving large wheels of cheese around a stone-cold warehouse. I clocked in, did my hours, and clocked out when my shift was over.
Today, the rise of the knowledge economy has transformed work for millions of people who are now employed for their intellectual capital, be it their ability to close a deal, turn a complainant into a happy customer, or to write a report.
As a leader, it’s important to understand the goals and vision of your company. It’s arguably even more important to convey that information to your employees, who play a huge role in turning those goals and visions into reality.

To help you do this, we asked Young Entrepreneur Council members the following question:
Q. What is your preferred method for communicating company goals and vision with your employees?
From a young age, we learned the essential skills of reading. This is a skill that we often don’t think much of, especially around the subject of comprehension strategies for adults.
You’d think it’s rather weird at first. Adults all across the world are fully capable of reading anything. We’ve been doing that for decades.
But there is a massive difference between reading comprehension amongst children and adults you see. It’s something that hasn’t been explored much in science. You can tell by the number of studies out there discussing kid’s reading abilities rather than adults.
