U.S. Adults don’t Trust Social Media for 2020 election news & Twitter warned to close accounts of Iranian leaders or face Sanctions
According to a new report, Democrats and Republicans can finally agree on something: Social media cannot be trusted. Just days before the start of the Democratic primaries, Pew Research Center’s recent survey showed that respondents from both sides of the aisle do not trust social media to provide reliable information on political and election news.
PCMag reported today that after surveying 12,043 US adults, Pew determined that the majority of respondents do not trust platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn as news sources. Facebook (59 percent), Twitter (48 percent), and Instagram (42 percent) were the least-trusted platforms.
The survey breaks results down by political leaning to show who cares more about which platforms. When it comes to Facebook, 59 percent of Democrat-leaning respondents and 62 percent of Republican-leaning respondents deemed the platform untrustworthy.
Similarly, 46 percent of left-aligning respondents and 51 percent of right-aligning respondents distrust Twitter. For Instagram, 41 percent Democrats and 45 percent Republicans don’t trust the platform.
It’s too bad that Pew didn’t add in Google or Apple News. It was announced on Monday that Apple News was stepping up its news coverage of the 2020 Election. I had noted in our coverage of the Apple News announcement that conservative / Republican Apple fans wouldn’t agree with Apple’s list of “trusted news sites.”
Most of these “trusted” news sites were untrustworthy in pushing the false Democratic narrative on Russia collusion. They were equally untrustworthy in supporting the former FBI director James Comey who pushed investigations into Presidential candidate Trump based on false information given to the FISA Court based on a fake dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton.
While we can all agree to love Apple for software and hardware devices, when it comes to news and politics, the community is rightfully split.
Today Cult of Mac posted a report titled “Bernie Sanders tops list for most donations from Apple employees.”
It’s pretty clear by the chart below where Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple’s employees stand politically and that’s fine. But asking conservatives to trust them on news is humorous at best.

As far as Google goes, once you see this Google video made after the last election, you realize that Google is a super far left wing company to its very core that could never be trusted beyond their left base. How can a business leader call half of their customer base fascists and think that’s okay?
Shut Down Iranian Leader Twitter Sites
In another story about politics and social media today, CNBC reports a group of Republican senators (Cruz, Rubio, Cotton and Blackburn) sent a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey saying that Twitter would be subject to U.S. sanctions if they didn’t end service to Iranian officials such as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. already sanctioned by the U.S. government.
The four senators wrote: “While the First Amendment protects the free speech rights of Americans — and Twitter should not be censoring the political speech of Americans — the Ayatollah enjoys zero protection from the United States Bill of Rights.
And, as the leader of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — directly responsible for the murder of hundreds of U.S. citizens — the Ayatollah and any American companies providing him assistance are entirely subject to U.S. sanctions laws.”

Facebook Faces Yet Another Outage: Platform Encounters Technical Issues Again
![Facebook Faces Yet Another Outage: Platform Encounters Technical Issues Again Facebook Problem Again](https://articles.entireweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/facebook-problem.jpg)
Uppdated: It seems that today’s issues with Facebook haven’t affected as many users as the last time. A smaller group of people appears to be impacted this time around, which is a relief compared to the larger incident before. Nevertheless, it’s still frustrating for those affected, and hopefully, the issues will be resolved soon by the Facebook team.
Facebook had another problem today (March 20, 2024). According to Downdetector, a website that shows when other websites are not working, many people had trouble using Facebook.
This isn’t the first time Facebook has had issues. Just a little while ago, there was another problem that stopped people from using the site. Today, when people tried to use Facebook, it didn’t work like it should. People couldn’t see their friends’ posts, and sometimes the website wouldn’t even load.
Downdetector, which watches out for problems on websites, showed that lots of people were having trouble with Facebook. People from all over the world said they couldn’t use the site, and they were not happy about it.
When websites like Facebook have problems, it affects a lot of people. It’s not just about not being able to see posts or chat with friends. It can also impact businesses that use Facebook to reach customers.
Since Facebook owns Messenger and Instagram, the problems with Facebook also meant that people had trouble using these apps. It made the situation even more frustrating for many users, who rely on these apps to stay connected with others.
During this recent problem, one thing is obvious: the internet is always changing, and even big websites like Facebook can have problems. While people wait for Facebook to fix the issue, it shows us how easily things online can go wrong. It’s a good reminder that we should have backup plans for staying connected online, just in case something like this happens again.

We asked ChatGPT what will be Google (GOOG) stock price for 2030
![We asked ChatGPT what will be Google (GOOG) stock price for 2030 We asked ChatGPT what will be Google (GOOG) stock price for 2030](https://articles.entireweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1679313229_We-asked-ChatGPT-what-will-be-Google-GOOG-stock-price.jpg)
Investors who have invested in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock have reaped significant benefits from the company’s robust financial performance over the last five years. Google’s dominance in the online advertising market has been a key driver of the company’s consistent revenue growth and impressive profit margins.
In addition, Google has expanded its operations into related fields such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. These areas show great promise as future growth drivers, making them increasingly attractive to investors. Notably, Alphabet’s stock price has been rising due to investor interest in the company’s recent initiatives in the fast-developing field of artificial intelligence (AI), adding generative AI features to Gmail and Google Docs.
However, when it comes to predicting the future pricing of a corporation like Google, there are many factors to consider. With this in mind, Finbold turned to the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT to suggest a likely pricing range for GOOG stock by 2030. Although the tool was unable to give a definitive price range, it did note the following:
“Over the long term, Google has a track record of strong financial performance and has shown an ability to adapt to changing market conditions. As such, it’s reasonable to expect that Google’s stock price may continue to appreciate over time.”
GOOG stock price prediction
While attempting to estimate the price range of future transactions, it is essential to consider a variety of measures in addition to the AI chat tool, which includes deep learning algorithms and stock market experts.
Finbold collected forecasts provided by CoinPriceForecast, a finance prediction tool that utilizes machine self-learning technology, to anticipate Google stock price by the end of 2030 to compare with ChatGPT’s projection.
According to the most recent long-term estimate, which Finbold obtained on March 20, the price of Google will rise beyond $200 in 2030 and touch $247 by the end of the year, which would indicate a 141% gain from today to the end of the year.
Google has been assigned a recommendation of ‘strong buy’ by the majority of analysts working on Wall Street for a more near-term time frame. Significantly, 36 analysts of the 48 have recommended a “strong buy,” while seven people have advocated a “buy.” The remaining five analysts had given a ‘hold’ rating.

The average price projection for Alphabet stock over the last three months has been $125.32; this objective represents a 22.31% upside from its current price. It’s interesting to note that the maximum price forecast for the next year is $160, representing a gain of 56.16% from the stock’s current price of $102.46.
While the outlook for Google stock may be positive, it’s important to keep in mind that some potential challenges and risks could impact its performance, including competition from ChatGPT itself, which could affect Google’s price.
