• the Commerce Department
• Department of Homeland Security
• the Pentagon
• the Treasury Department

President Trump has yet to make any public mention of the hack, and members of his administration have said little beyond acknowledging that it happened and is being investigated. bit.ly/37tGnub

U.S. national security agencies seem to have been blindsided by news that hackers — suspected to be Russia's foreign intelligence service — have been digging around inside government systems, possibly since the spring. bit.ly/37tGnub

From YouTube to Facebook, most social media companies encourage users to watch and create livestreams to keep people’s attention.

But as the world saw during election week, these platforms struggle to monitor and curb misinformation in these videos. n.pr/2JXxOyz 🧵

Even when violent threats are streamed, thousands may have seen the videos before action is taken.

When Steve Bannon called for the beheadings of 2 officials, Facebook and YouTube took his video down — after it already got hundreds of thousands of views. n.pr/3kqvUTK

And video removed from one platform may show up on another.

Nearly a decade ago, Fukushima was devastated by one of the world’s biggest nuclear disasters.

Since then, Japan has poured billions of dollars into recovery.

But what does recovery really mean?

We traveled there to find out. trib.al/5w0GFXt

In the 1960s & '70s, Japan’s energy demands were rising along with its economic power. But the country had few homegrown fuel sources.

So, it began offering rural communities money to host nuclear power plants.

It was risky. But experts stressed the safety of nuclear power.

By the early 2000s, it accounted for over a quarter of Japan’s electricity. trib.al/5w0GFXt
