FWIW, there is a very interesting book called _Influencer_, by Patterson, Grenny, Maxfield, McMillan, and Switzler. It says to change things there are 6 areas to work on, which it presents in a 2x3 chart with 2 headings across the top: Mov

Good question. I only noticed that if I go to the bookmark list, and tap/hold on one of them, it brings up a small dialog where I can enter more text in its name. I don't know of a way to make it obvious while reading that there

It may be true that we "cannot police misinformation" in a good way. I haven't figured out otherwise. BUT: I'd really like to know what would happen if we required putting some words like this all over the place (FB, .
