It’s a hot, hot Friday here on the East Coast, a perfect time to dig into this week’s Internet happenings — including feminist wins, the online hacking of our friend (boo!) and campaigns to get us more information and stomp out the trolls.

1. A coalition of feminist activists, led by Women, Action & the Media’s Jaclyn Friedman, succeeded in getting Facebook to review its systems for blocking hate speech, particularly speech against women. Many applauded Facebook — and the tech world more generally — for waking up to the sexism that exists within its male-dominated subcultures. But others worried about what amounts to Facebook censoring speech. “The question is not can Facebook censor speech,” Jillian C. York wrote, “… but should it?”

2. Activist, organizer and longtime Free Press pal Ruby Sinreich got hacked. She was blocked from her Twitter account (which was briefly deleted) and beset by a boatload of password-reset requests, hosting-account shutdowns and other online catastrophes. So Ruby took to Tumblr. Turns out someone (a teenager, but does it matter?) hacked most of her digital life just to sell her Twitter handle for a measly $80. Only 80 bucks?! Everything’s now up and running again in Ruby’s digital life.

3. The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s “Save Podcasting” campaign is blowing up. It raised more than $30,000 in less than 10 hours “to help cover the fees needed to try to bust the bogus, overbroad patent being used to threaten podcasters.” It’s nice to see patent trolls get schooled for making it harder for people to actually make stuff.

4. Tired of paying too much for a ton of cable channels you don’t watch? So is Sen. John McCain. McCain recently introduced the Television Consumer Freedom Act, which would give consumers the option of paying for individual cable channels (rather than the whole overpriced bundle). Lord knows we need to battle the bundle bloat in the messy modern video market. So tell your senators to support a la carte cable.

5. Some people aren’t just getting rid of cable; they’re cutting the broadband cord entirely. At least that’s what the Wall Street Journal says. Though, as GigaOm’s Stacey Higginbotham writes, the piece is a bit of a “hot mess” that doesn’t even mention the reason behind this apparent cord cutting until the fifth paragraph: It’s the high cost of broadband, stupid.

Finally, a 10-minute loop of Jeff Goldblum laughing bizarrely.
