Earlier this year, Hack PR had a problem. The unorthodox public relations firm had snapped up a new client, a deep-pocketed entrepreneur with political ambitions.

I always thought people who covered their laptop cameras were delusional conspiracy theorists at best, or delusional narcissists at worst. Side-eyeing my friends and coworkers who'd shrewdly covered their webcams with stickers and bits of tape, I prided myself on having never quite reached the level of self-involvement where I thought some Russian hacker actually wanted to infiltrate my damn MacBook and watch me sadly scroll through fucking Into The Gloss for hours on end, while lying in bed in that weird upright horizontal position that inevitably ends in you accidentally dropping the entire computer on your own face.

If you weren’t paying close attention yesterday, it may have looked like AT&T got onboard the net neutrality “day of action” protest. The company’s website displayed a banner saying that “AT&T supports an open internet,” and it sent a message to DirecTV customers mentioning the same thing. “Tell Congress to adopt permanent protections,” both messages added, before directing people to an “Open Internet” page on AT&T’s site.

All new cars sold in Europe will be electric within less than two decades, driven by government support, falling battery costs and economies of scale, a Dutch bank has predicted.

On Friday, a book jumped to the #1 spot on Amazon, out of nowhere; it quickly became obvious that the author had used a clickfarm to gatecrash the charts.
