~ ELSEWHERE IN CYNOPSIS ~
CYNOPSIS DIGITAL - TODAY'S TOP STORY: New media outlets are finding themselves at the center of
all sorts of controversies these days. Craigslist is back in the hot
seat after a North Carolina man used the site to recruit someone to attack his
wife with him in the room. Meanwhile St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa
filed a lawsuit against Twitter for publishing a fake account bearing
his name. (Someone purporting to be La Russa tweeted sardonically about sore
subjects including a drunk driving charge, according the AP.) Twitter
co-founder Biz Stone defended the
company's Terms of Service policy and responded to the growing problem of
unauthorized profiles by announcing plans to launch a "Verified
Accounts" option later this summer. Verified Accounts will guarantee authenticity
for "public officials, public agencies, famous artists, athletes, and
other well known individuals at risk of impersonation." Now we'll know
whether or not it's the real Shaq
and the actual Dwight Howard
using the platform to place a digital smack down on one another ... Full edition:CYN DIGITAL.
