It is no secret that a huge source of news for everyone these days is social media platforms, and people around the world are influenced by what is posted there. Social media can be a great source of information, too, when what is posted is actually true and from a genuine source. The danger lies in how easy it is for social media to post something false, or to twist the truth to something that serves the poster's purpose.
This past week, the anime world was given a reminder that not everything posted on social media is necessarily true, and you should always take it with a grain of salt. The official X/Twitter page for the globally popular anime Naruto posted a reminder in both English and Japanese that the creator of the series, Masashi Kishimoto, does not have any personal social media accounts. Anyone who is claiming to be Kishimoto is lying, and any information they post is not official.
It is a little ironic that it is a social media site that was used to warn fans of the dangers of trusting social media, but the reality is that there are not any other options for reaching large numbers of people at once. People who really like Naruto are likely to follow the anime on its social media pages — and they are also likely to try to follow its creator, Masashi Kishimoto, as well if they can, so it is the easiest way to reach them. After all, many other people in the anime industry, from voice actors to mangaka to directors and more, are active on social media, and sometimes even post hints and previews of their work or funny memes for their fans.
Because of this, many fans will follow the accounts of their favorite celebrities and artists. But it is not that hard for other people to impersonate someone on the internet. It has become even more challenging to discern what is an official account and what is not, especially on X/Twitter. This can make it harder than ever for fans to know if the news they are receiving and the accounts they are following are official or not.
To save Naruto fans from being fooled by false accounts, the Naruto X/Twitter page posted its reminder that the creator does not use any social media. There are accounts out there that can easily fool someone who is not investigating their sources, too, including accounts like @kishimotomasshi which was found by AnimeNewsNetwork. This account includes the blue verified check mark and only says «parody account» at the end of the profile's biography (and does spell Kishimoto's first name wrong as well, but that may not be noticed at first glance).
Whether you are personally a fan of Naruto or not, this does serve as an important reminder about social media. Our parents always told us, «Don't believe everything you read on the internet,»

Following a report by Game Developer on the ESA’s refusal to budge during a hearing on easing copyright restrictions around academia’s remote access to legacy games, Deus Ex creator Warren Spector has written for the website on his own frustrations with, and efforts to aid, game preservation.

With hundreds of techniques populating Naruto's narrative, it's fairly common for jutsu to often get sidelined after their initial novelty fades. Sai's Super Beast Scroll technique falls under a similar premise, as this largely underrated technique has spent much of its time in the shadows while other flashy techniques take center stage. With the power to animate ink into beasts of varying strengths, the technique presents limitless value in battle, both offensively and defensively.
Shinji Mikami, the esteemed director of iconic games like Resident Evil (1996) and The Evil Within, has finally opened up regarding his decision to leave Tango Gameworks, the company he founded.

In an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), employees globally are grappling with the uncertainty of job security. Zack Kass, an AI futurist and former executive at OpenAI, sheds light on four indispensable human qualities that could safeguard employment amidst this technological surge.
When Young Sheldon was first announced, I remember the reaction of my closest friends: disgust, terror, confusion. The Big Bang Theory is a tired and poorly aged sitcom about a herd of nerds who suddenly fall in with a hot lady friend. The breakout protagonist, Sheldon Cooper, is an obnoxious know-it-all, and the last thing that I expected to enjoy is an origin story for the character. Years later, my social media feeds are filled with Young Sheldon clips and content, enough for me to start watching the show out of morbid curiosity, only to find out: It’s actually quite good. Now, I understand why there’s a second spinoff related to the deep lore of the Cooper family. I get why the fans are clamoring for an Old Sheldon series starring Michael Keaton. Young Sheldon is downright heartwarming, and one of the few sitcoms I actually adore.
