Loyalty bonuses are given to players who have reached a certain status at an online casino.
The name says it all. These are bonuses that you will see at certain websites where the casino has made an exclusive deal with the website owner to offer his members.
This is a bonus that a casino offers you to play with but you cannot withdraw the bonus amount. This basically means that you will receive free money to play with and once you reach the playthrough requirement, you can only withdraw any winnings that are over and above the initial bonus amount. The bonus money will be removed from your account when you make your withdrawal.
This is a first deposit bonus where you know what you are getting irrelevant of the amount you deposit.
This bonus is usually used for new players who make their very first deposit at an online casino
There may be limitations on this bonus at the different casinos, but you must make sure you read their terms and conditions and make sure you understand the rules.
All you need to do is register a real players account at the casino offering this bonus, and you will receive the money. You do not have to make a deposit to receive it.
This is a bonus you receive when you make a deposit at a casino. They will match your deposit with a certain percentage of your total deposit

From Europe to Asia, leaders are rushing to adopt anti-fake news laws. France – where “fake news”, necessarily narrowly defined so as to protect free speech, has been illegal since 1881 – aims to allow judges to order the deletion of false online content in election periods.
Lawyers, technology experts, media representatives and free speech campaigners have expressed fears that hastily drawn-up domestic measures outlawing fake news may at best prove ineffective, and at worst counterproductive.
“Two once-distinct arenas – the media, and public debate – have merged and changed,” said RSF’s director, Christophe Deloire. “False and reliable information now circulates in the same channels, and ‘bad’ news circulates faster than ‘good’. We have to give a real advantage to those who produce reliable journalism.”

Society will be better off after it passes through this difficult period. We’ll have a better consensus what the role of journalism is in the modern age, people will value good quality accurate news and we’ll be more sceptical of what we’re told, which is a good rule to live by anyway.
Journalists are terrified of being called out for inaccuracies for fear of the fake news labels and taunts on Twitter (by the way, fake news isn’t the same as inaccurate news. One is a mistake, the other is malicious).
The charge to double check, to comb-over one more time, has reinvigorated journalism. With all of the financing problems facing the industry, the new fact-checking model provides a potential solution.
Fake news will be a historical point of reference for a society that needed an important conversation about journalism, facts, social media and critical analysis.

The money comes from ads, provided by the self-service ad technology of companies such as Google and Facebook. It is a business model that has changed little over the years, David Carroll, an associate professor of media design at the New School and an expert in advertising tech, told us. “Anybody can make a site and put ads on it,” he said. “They can easily set up a business, create content, and once it is viral, it drives traffic to their site.”

The campaigning group also said that, on average, it took Facebook a week to remove fact-checked fake reports from its platform after being informed by independent groups the posts contained misinformation. The delay, according to Quran, allowed millions of people to view the falsehoods after the company knew they were bogus.
While the company subsequently deleted some posts, Quran from Avaaz said identical social media messages, including the same images and texts, had often spread like wildfire globally as others copied the misinformation to share it with their friends and families.
"We will need more transparency and better access to data for researchers to fully verify the scope and impact of false content," Vêra Jourová, the European Commission vice president, told POLITICO in a written statement.
So far, Facebook said that, based on the work of independent fact-checking organizations, it had labeled 40 million Facebook posts with warnings that the content may be false.
"Facebook, given its scale, is the epicenter for misinformation," Fadi Quran, Avaaz's campaign director, told POLITICO, adding that the company's efforts to combat the problem had steadily improved since the social network announced it would do all it could to stop the spread of such life-threatening falsehoods.

Millions of Facebook users will soon be told if they saw online posts containing misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic after the social networking giant announced Thursday its latest plans to contain the spread of rumors, half truths and lies connected to the public health crisis.
As part of its latest push to quell the spread of coronavirus misinformation, Facebook will show people who engaged with false content, which has now been deleted, messages that debunk those claims based on fact-checking efforts by the WHO. That includes claims that 5G mobile networks can spread the disease and rumors that hot climates can render people immune — posts that have since been removed.

To be fair, social media corporations are in a difficult position. If they start policing lies, it means a person or group of people will have to act as the truth police. It means social media corporations will be subject to claims of censorship and political bias. It is much easier for these corporations to just take a step back and let politicians post whatever they want. This may be why, in the face of Warren’s attacks on Facebook and its policies, Zuckerberg has stated in no uncertain terms that Facebook has no plans to police ads that constitute political speech.
