Today's Story Highlights

How to Rein In Powerful Companies Without Ruining the US Tech Industry
Elizabeth Warren's desire to curtail Facebook, Amazon and other
companies that have misused their massive power -- or may do so in the
future -- is well founded. The U.S. appears to be trending toward civil
war, and I'd place social media in general on the wrong side of this
trend. However, we need a plan that will cure the problem without
killing the patient.

AR in Harry Potter Game Is Next Best Thing to Real Magic
Niantic last week offered a few members of the gaming press a chance to
take in the magic of its upcoming Harry Potter: Wizards Unite augmented
reality game. The game, which is being developed as part of a joint
effort with WB Games San Francisco under the Portkey Games label,
promises to build on Niantic's hugely popular Pokémon Go mobile phone
game.

New Chrome Extension Aims to Make the Web Less Toxic
Jigsaw has released Tune, an experimental Chrome extension that lets
users hide comments its algorithms identify as toxic. It is available
for Mac, Windows, Linux and the Chrome OS. Tune builds on the same
machine learning models that power Jigsaw's Perspective API to rate the
toxicity of comments. Tune users can adjust the volume of comments from
zero to anything goes.
