Mark Zuckerberg 'expressed concerns' in Trump phone call, so that should fix everything

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly suggested to President Donald Trump, in a roundabout fashion, that perhaps the poster-in-chief could tone it down a little. For him? Pretty please?

Axios reports that two sources familiar with a phone call Trump made to the Facebook CEO on Friday said that Zuckerberg did not make any specific requests of the president, but conveyed "concerns" about his "tone and rhetoric," expressed disagreement with recent sentiments, and told the president that his choice of words "put Facebook in a difficult position."

The latter is likely a reference to the fact that Facebook has faced increased pressure to moderate the president's statements on the platform, which regularly contain outright lies, misinformation, and inflammatory rhetoric. Read more...

Here are all the companies from Y Combinator’s Summer 2021 Demo Day, Part 1 By Natasha Mascarenhas Today Y Combinator kicked off the Demo Day cycle for its Summer 2021 cohort. The collection of early-stage startups on day one-of-two alone numbered in the hundreds, meaning that we had to assemble a team here at TechCrunch just to cover it all. But before we get into notes on each company that presented, a few notes on the cohort itself. Per Y Combinator leadership, the 377 (!) startups in this cohort have founders from 47 different countries, and 37% of the founders in this cohort were from underrepresented groups (which YC’s Michael Seibel says the accelerator defines as Black, Latinx or female.) The international breakdown of the batch parallels that of this past winter. Nearly 50% of YC startups are based outside of the United States, with India, U.K. and Mexico making up the largest part of that percentage. What follows is a list of the 180+ companies in the order that they pi...

Snap just outlined its plan to fight Facebook By Karissa Bell Snap has long been known for its secretive ways. Even after going public in 2017, CEO Evan Spiegel rarely divulges much about the company publicly, save for quarterly earnings calls. But that may be starting to change. This week, the company hosted its first big public event in its history: a one-day Partner Summit, where the company announced several new features aimed at turning the messaging app into a wider platform.  Snap announced new camera features, a gaming platform , new developer tools, and a new lineup of original shows. But one of the most intriguing revelations is one you'd find only from reading in between the lines of the company's news. Snap quietly walked the public through how it plans to fight Facebook at a time when the social network seems as if it will stop at nothing to completely crush Snap.  Read more...

Rivivete il vostro 2021 musicale con il riassunto di YouTube Music By Vito Laminafra Alla fine del 2020, Google ha offerto all'interno dell'app YouTube Music il recap "Year in Review" , che mostrava quelli che erano stati gli artisti e brani più riprodotti durante l'anno. Anche questa volta è disponibile un qualcosa di simile, con decisamente più informazioni rispetto al 2020. Al momento, il "2021 Recap" di YouTube Music è disponibile solo per un numero ristretto di utenti : per alcuni, è visibile solo una playlist che contiene i 100 brani più scoltati durante l'anno, mentre altri riescono ad accedere ad una schermata che mostra una lista decisamente più esaustiva riguardo le statistiche di brani, album e artisti preferiti del 2021. Sicuramente durante il mese di dicembre avremo più informazioni a riguardo e il "2021 Recap" di YouTube Music arriverà per tutti gli abbonati al servizio di streaming musicale di Google. L'artico...
