All participants can keep their phones wedged in their butt cracks until they sit down. Older people of both sexes can carry their devices tucked under their boobs, or belly folds.

Yeah, it's a bit fucking weird, isn't it?

Perhaps because I live in an open air sauna, the thought of saunas really makes me want to reach for my Luger. I can't stand the things.

We do use things called towels to sit on.

Amazingly the vast majority of visitors are women.

Facebook and Twitter threatened with sanctions in UK 'fake news' inquiry

Facebook and Twitter could face sanctions if they continue to stonewall parliament over Russian interference in the EU referendum, the chair of a Commons inquiry has said.

Damian Collins, chair of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport select committee, which is looking into so-called “fake news”, has given the companies until 18 January to correct their failure to hand over information he requested about Russian misinformation campaigns on their platforms.

“There has to be a way of scrutinising the procedures that companies like Facebook put in place to help them identify known sources of disinformation, particularly when it’s politically motivated and coming from another country,” Collins said.

“They need to be able to tell us what they can do about it. And what we need to be able to do is say to the companies: we recognise that you are best placed to monitor what is going on your own site and to get the balance right in taking action against it but also safeguarding the privacy of users.

“But what there has to be then is some mechanism of saying: if you fail to do that, if you ignore requests to act, if you fail to police the site effectively and deal with highly problematic content, then there has to be some sort of sanction against you.”...
