It's Friday, August 19th, 2016, and Twitter has taken significant steps to address concerns over extremism on its platform. According to a recent video transcript, nearly a quarter million accounts have been suspended by the social media giant, which it claims promoted extremist content. This move comes after an increasing amount of criticism from users and experts alike, who argue that Twitter's free speech policies have become problematic in light of the growing number of deadly terror attacks that have been glorified on the platform.

Twitter has been slow to crack down on accounts promoting extremism, despite its efforts to cast itself as a champion of free speech. The service has always taken the stance that "all hell can break loose" when it comes to content on its platform, but this approach has become increasingly problematic in recent years. With the number of deadly terror attacks on the rise, Twitter has finally begun to take action to address the issue.

In a statement released earlier today, Twitter confirmed that it had suspended 360,000 accounts that were promoting extremist content. This move is significant, given Twitter's user base of over 300 million. While some users may view this as a small percentage of the overall user base, others argue that it is a step in the right direction.

Despite these efforts, some users still believe that more needs to be done to purify Twitter of haters, bullies, and terrorists. The platform has recently added more tools for reporting extremism, but some argue that this is not enough to address the issue. Additionally, Twitter has expanded its teams responding to complaints, but some users feel that this move does not go far enough.

In other news, Apple's expected reveal of the iPhone 7 just weeks away, and rumors have emerged about a key feature that will be missing from the new device: stand-alone cellular service ability. According to reports, Bloomberg has discovered that Apple has come up against a technical hurdle when it comes to incorporating a cellular radio system into the watch.

Despite this setback, Apple is still believed to be working towards making the iPhone 7 more appealing to users who want to leave their bulky iPhones at home. One of the rumored features is independent GPS, which would make fitness apps and other functions on the device more independent and watch-like. However, it seems that incorporating a cellular radio system into the watch has proven to be too much for Apple to handle.

In a related development, Apple's Apple Watch is also expected to feature independent GPS, according to reports from Bloomberg. This would allow users to enjoy a more seamless fitness experience on their watches, with GPS data becoming less dependent on their connected devices. While this move may not address the issue of cellular service ability, it is still seen as a step in the right direction for Apple's watch.

In other tech news, Ion Storm has released a new game called Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is set two years after the events of the 2011 release of Human Revolution. The game takes place in a dystopian cyberpunk world where humans, cyborgs, and machines are at odds with each other.
