Omg/wtf.

Ugh I'd hoped to make some clever puns re: King Mark's coming heir, but then I saw a picture of his mop dog and lost my train of thought from there. Did you know that Zuck had a dog? Did you know he has his own VERIFIED page? Did you know he sometimes vaults over brooms (for what reasons I can't say)? Anyway, this is all a lot more interesting than the pending bb Zuck. I mean, this dog's basically a walking carpet. Omg/wtf.

1. In the past two years, more than 70 young women have accused YouTube stars of sexual abuse. This is a serious, disturbing problem made MORE problematic by the fact that the adults in the room aren't quite sure what to do.

2. Erasing yourself from the Internet is really, really hard. Latoya Peterson tried it -- with no luck after eight hours.

3. The real problem with the "challenge" that transfixed the Internet last year? The ice bucket challenge focused so much on the stunt that the actual suffering -- ALS -- totally disappeared.

Shh I'm not here

Pocketable: Vanity Fair's dispatch from Vidcon is the only one you need to read. (4937/20 minutes)

Postscripts: Tonkey Bear / Snapchat stars / campaign Internet. Yelp is already over and Twitter's just trying to save itself. Why people are tweeting cakes today, parts 1 and 2. We don't know who #thegirlsonthenegatives are, but hey, maybe you do! What it's like running a sext-ring for desperate, Snapchatting kids. What the precise problem with Internet mob justice is. How the GIF took over the world and when Netflix will beat TV. A final parting lol: "disarming" the gun emoji.

Enjoy the weekend!
