WASHINGTON (AP) — Motorists are being convicted of driving under the influence of marijuana based on arbitrary state standards that have no connection to whether the driver was actually impaired, says a study by the nation's largest auto club.
The problem is only growing as more states contemplate legalizing the drug. At least three, and possibly as many as 11 states, will vote this fall on ballot measures to legalize marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, or both. Legislation to legalize the drug has also been introduced in a half dozen states.
It's only fitting that Twitter should have listed "Former Facebook Workers" as trending, because Facebook initially did not.
In fact, former Facebook workers say that the social media giant's managers instruct online curators to manipulate news feeds and trending lists to cut or leave out conservative content, according to a Gizmodo.com report that doesn't identify its sources by name. The report published Monday also says curators were told to insert certain articles into the trending list, whether or not those items were popular enough to merit the treatment.
