The never-ending changes to Facebook’s ad and content policies are apparently starting to wear on publishers. “Digital media company Mic is one of the publishers to more recently feel the force of Facebook’s swift rule changes,” The Wall Street Journal reports. The publisher seems to have run afoul of very recent change at Facebook, which specifies that banner ads cannot appear in videos.

If you weren’t aware, Snapchat has a secretive culture and its CEO Evan Spiegel is kind of a prick -- or, at least, that’s according to Recode. “He’s headstrong and controlling, and he implements a quick-to-fire style foreign to the Silicon Valley tech scene,” Recode writes of Spiegel. And, ironically, Spiegel is apparently “obsessed” with privacy.

Tumblr just launched Labs -- a program that will invite users test new and experimental features on the network. “Some of the initial experiments are of a more frivolous nature -- like being about to change the color of a post on your Dashboard,” TechCrunch reports. “Meanwhile, other experiments may appeal to those who use the service in a more professional fashion -- like an advanced queuing system for scheduled posts.”

LinkedIn is reportedly weighing a service akin to Facebook’s Instant Articles, which would let publishers host content directly on the social network. “LinkedIn has discussed the product with various publishers in recent weeks as it tests the waters,” Buzzfeed reports, citing sources. Like Facebook, “Google has its own quick loading articles project, an open source initiative called Accelerated Mobile Pages, or AMP.”

Yelp beat Wall Street’s first-quarter estimates, Forbes reports. “Yelp’s revenue rose 34% to $158.6 million, topping analyst estimates of $155.6 million,” it writes. “This growth came from local advertising revenue, where it generates the bulk of its revenue, and which rose 40% to $138.1 million during the quarter.”

Google is apparently using romance novels to teach its AI how to be more conversational. “And it’s working, too,” Buzzfeed reports. “Google’s research team recently got the AI to write sentences that resemble those in the books … With that achievement unlocked, they’re now planning to move on to bigger challenges [like] using the conversational styles the AI has learned to inform and humanize the company’s products.”
