Social media algorithms are drowning breaking news and important public safety alerts in anachronic nonsense. Why show something that's happening *now* when you can induce panic with a 14-hour old alert? Do that enough and the audience becomes numb to everything — at its peril.

Today, prosecutors sought to force a news outlet to delete a post revealing name of a Diddy witness who testified under pseudonym. US has asked media to respect anonymity (and many outlets do) but judge rightly noted that nothing bars them from figuring out real name on own.
