Anybody else paying attention to the Roger Ailes - Gretchen Carson scandal? It's rather amusing in a grim way. Like the Cosby scandal, now many women are stepping forward to tell their seamy little tales of Roger Ailes' ugly sexual advances. I suspect Ailes will soon be history at Faux. But one wonders, what happens next? I don't see Faux getting better even without the Big Pig running things. But it gives me great schadenfreude to see these chickens coming home to roost. It all makes for a great break from the daily flood of disasters in the news.

So-called "sexual harassment" is the most destructive, ridiculous and subjective thing ever concocted by radical feminists. Even a woman overhearing two men sharing a rather mild joke is enough to get a man fired these days (see Donglegate)
It's just a way to destroy male careers and give women multi-million dollar payouts.

If Gretchen's story is real, it will be like Cosby's downfall. A dozen or more women will emerge with similar stories. That's the nature of this kind of thing. Men who abuse their power to obtain sex never stop at one.
If her story is a fabrication, all Ailes has do is say, "I'm 76 years old. What am I going to do with that?" and it all goes away.

Sexual harassment is destructive to the victims. Just ask the women of Eveleth Mines (https://www.nwhm.org/blog/background-on-class-action-suit/).
BTW, in Donglegate, the complainer (a woman) also got fired. That omission is more telling than your dismissal of the idea of sexual harassment.

A former model, identified as 66-year-old Susan, says she was only sixteen when Ailes propositioned her when she attempted to land a spot on the Mike Douglas Show.
"Ailes took me into this big office and locked the door with a key. He reclined on a couch in a seating area under a map that had flags of all the cities they were syndicated in. He proceeded to pull down his pants and very gingerly pull out his genitals and said, 'Kiss them.' And they were red like raw hamburger," she explained, stating Ailes grew angry when she refused, before she added, "I think he knew I was sixteen."
Yeah Derec, just a harmless lil ol' joke.
Sorry, but he's a staunch conservative. This controversy isn't going anywhere......
Why should we take claims from 50 years old seriously?
laughing dog said:
Sexual harassment is destructive to the victims.
Some can be. And it should be applied gender neutrally. But what radical feminists have wrought is ability for any woman to claim "sexual harassment" if she feels offended.
She was only fired after her employer was subjected to DDoS attacks. She should have been fired because her actions were antithetical to her job (a so-called evangelist who is not supposed to antagonize developers). The guy should not have been fired because he did absolutely nothing wrong. But in modern, post Anita Hill workplace climate, men have to walk on eggshells. That is not a good development.
Because it demonstrates a decades long habit of bad behavior on Ailes' part. Why shouldn't we take her seriously? 10 women now have said Ailes sexually harassed them.
Derec doesn't take claims from any woman seriously. As he said above, he thinks sexual harassment isn't real, and is just a way for women to make money.

The problem here is when such cases come forward years later they are hard to prove.
Should we accept an accusation on the basis it was made, or dismiss it where it could possible be true.
There may well be true and untrue accusations. The defence may say that the person made it up to obtain payment. The prosecution would claim that this was a true event.
The court has to burden of determining whether these were true or not.
Some can be.
So why did you write "So-called "sexual harassment" is the most destructive, ridiculous and subjective thing ever concocted by radical feminists" when you clearly acknowledge it can be a real problem?
Because these days it applies to SJWs like Adria Richards eavesdropping and then getting offended and calling security.
Ford said:
Since they can win a lot of money by making these claims they have a vested interest in claiming they were harassed even when they weren't.
So in your mind, sexual harassment doesn't exist.
A woman gets pushed up against a car in the parking garage by her boss, and that's just harmless fun.
No, but we should not take claims at face value without evidence. Especially since there is a vested monetary interest to lie. And especially when the claims are 50 fucking years old.
Unless there is a camera in the parking garage she could have just as easily made it up. Of course, surveillance cameras weren't prevalent in the 1960s.
In your SJW zeal, you made a false claim. And now, in your SJW zeal you claim Ms. Richards eavesdropped. She overheard something. That is not the same thing as eavesdropping which requires intent. If your case is so blatant, there would be no need for you to literally make things up.
They were in the next row, talking among themselves. She was itching for something to get offended about. I say she eavesdropped.
You're saying - like you do with claims of rape - that women make shit up and any accusations of sexual harassment or rape are all lies.
You start with the premise that women are all liars, and go from there.
I am saying that evidence should be required and that if you have a "he said she said" situation you should not presume that the woman in the one telling the truth.
I am not. However, by always believing the woman you are saying that men are all liars.
Just so we're clear:
Derec says all accusations of rape/sexual harassment are false.
He says that women who make such claims must be dismissed, because women in general are liars.
The only thing that you are making clear is how much you suck at reading comprehension.
I never said that. But you seem to think they are all true, or should at least be presumed to be true, without any evidence.
Ford says that women who make such claims must be believed, because men in general are liars.
These are your words, Derec.
You're not fooling anyone.
Yes, the words about the fact that "sexual harassment" has been broadened to such an extent that the very term is meaningless. Again, it includes women looking for things to be offended about predictably getting offended and then getting men fired.
You are doing a good job fooling yourself.

I don't know if he'll soon be history. It took so long for Cosby's crimes to finally get to a court. Of course, many more people loved Cosby's work and reputation than do Ailes'. But yes, I'm glad it getting the attention of courts.
I agree that Fox won't necessarily fix things without him.
Wonder if a Limbaugh-level alert to advertisers would help.
Can we have one thread about rape or sexually harassment that stays with the OP and doesn't drift into yet another Derec 'radical feminist' derail fuckfest?!
And you wonder why anyone would ever consider you might be a misogynist.
Reactions: Ford
Nothing misogynist about pointing out that the concept of "sexual harassment" has been broadened beyond breaking point.
Do you really agree that men should be fired every time a woman overhears something that offends her?
Radical feminists are instrumental in the dysfunction of both how we handle rape cases and sexual harassment cases these days.

Ms. Richards did not demand anyone be fired. To my knowledge, no one is demanding that men should be fired every time a woman overhears something that offends her. To my knowledge, no one expect men should be fired every time a woman overhears something that offends her. Your ridiculous and sexist straw man simply adds to the perception of your misogyny.

I know sexual harassment does exist but I also think we should be more skeptical of these claims. For one thing, society has a tendency to believe a woman over a man today. It seems when you're a man and a woman accuses you of a crime, you're guilty until proven innocent, and people will call for your head before all the facts are known.
Skepticism does not mean we assume all woman are liars. It just means we should wait until solid evidence is produced.
IMHO: I think Ailes is a pig. All you have to do is look at the anchor line-up. For fuck sake, it's not like Carlson, Kelly, Tantaros, and Guilfoyle are good at television; they are actually pretty dreadful when you listen to them. It's obvious Ailes hired them to sell conservatism by selling sex with it.
Carlson was a conservative bigot anyways. So fuck her if she loses.

This case reminds me of a number of cases brought by attorney Gloria Allred. That attorney brought case after case against rich and powerful institutions and persons on behalf of rich and powerful women. Ailes made a logical assumption on this woman...she must be willing to prostitute herself...hell! she was working for HIM and his propaganda machine. The case reminds me of the rich woman that wanted admission to the exclusive (men only) California club. This woman however lost her job, but her actions in the course of her employment make it difficult for some of us to take her protestations too seriously. I still say...go get him girl!
I honestly don't care.
She was an apologist for the network for years, and passionately defended Ailes from criticism. I don't forget all of the anti-gay, racist, pro-theocracy, attacks on 'liberalism', and otherwise ignorant and/or bigoted statements.
Carlson spent years attacking the left-wing and now she wants it's help.

Murdoch's kids want Ailes out, and are likely to use this case to do it. I'll be very happy if that happens. Don't think that FOX will suddenly become an actual news organization after that, but I think it will at least stop catering to the conspiracy theorists, and other extreme conservative elements.
As for proving her case... Heck, there are probably plenty of clips of Fox and Friends that would prove what kind of environment existed there, without having to go into what was going on behind the scenes.

It is a shame, really. What will Roger Ailes do with the rest of his life now that his career appears threatened? Of course, Fox News settled the open-shut case of harassment regarding Bill O'Reilly... and he still works there. He also hasn't managed to get Franken killed either, despite 'knowing' people.

I worked at a movie theater once. Our uniform was black slacks/pants. One day my boss took me in his office and told me that I was to wear the pants I was wearing that day every day as "they accented my sexy round ass" as he moved his hands across my butt. I was 14.
Derek - Sexual harassment or not?
Playball40 said:
Harassment is in the eye of the beholder, so this would depend upon whether you welcomed the attention or not. That is one of the problems of this issue.
However, the law has no regard for your feelings when it defines your boss's action as sexual molestation of a juvenile.
Depends, was the guy a Muslim or black?
Bronzeage said:
The age of 14 would seem to indicate that said buttocks should not have been touched. Nothing in their post indicated that they wanted their buttocks touched.
That is the point. If the theater manager's action were brought to light, a charge of "sexual harassment" would be the least of his worries.
My bad, sorry for the misinterpretation.
Just announced - Ailes resigns from Fox.

Poor guy, what is he going to do the rest of his life... with all that money he probably got in his severance package?

Apparently, he gets a 2 year contract as a consultant with Faux.
And there are hints the Murdoch's want to transistion their Faux to more resemble their English Skynet operation that has toned down their far right philosophy to gain more listenership from more moderate and sensible people.

French Historian Henry Laurens on the historical and religious baggage of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
Mohammed Saad , Wednesday 22 Feb 2017
French historian, Henry Laurens, celebrated the launch of the last volume of his book 'The Question of Palestine'
The renowned French historian Henry Laurens, Chair of History of the Contemporary Arab World at the Collège de France, is arguably best known for his work La Question de Palestine. This seminal work has marked his reputation as an exceptional scholar and an expert on the Middle East.
Laurens celebrated the launch of the Arabic translation of the last volume of La Question de Palestine, in Cairo last week. The Arabic edition features an eloquent translation by the prestigious translator Bashir El-Sebai' and is issued in ten volumes from the National Center for Translation (NCT).
Laurens spent ten years working on the original French volumes. The Arabic translations took an additional 20 years to be completed. Each volume is thematically divided into a specific era, extending from 1799 until 2001, reflecting Laurens' own method in writing the history of the Arab World.
Laurens positions himself in his own historical school, a school that depends on a special method that he developed with his friend Samir Kassir (1960-2005), the late Palestinian historian. Laurens' method depends on dividing the history of the Arab World into small pieces, to break it into months, weeks, and even days in order to understand it.
"My idea was that the history of the Arab World can be understood best if we divide it into small time windows, months, weeks or days, and this is why in the book you read the events day by day, like 2 August, 3 August, and this is what enabled me to determine the dominating theme of every era, in sometimes, you can find parallel scenes where the events are going at the same time as a director divides the screen in a given moment, and from that point the reader starts comprehend the timeline of events and that is a decisive factor in understanding that history," Laurens explained to his audience at Taha Hussein Hall at the NCT.
The title of the book The Question (La Question) stemmed from Laurens' concern of the notion "Question" that appeared for the first time in 1815, and developed with the rise of the "issue of the East" in France as a political and technical term, but it also comes from a speech by David Be Gurion, the founder of Israel, where he said: "The greatest success of Zionism is that it transformed the Question of the Jews, into the Question of the Arabs."
Laurens added that he hopes that "the question of Palestine disappears someday, but I don't think that will happen in my lifetime."
The last volume spans between 1982 and 2001, as the author stops right before 9/11. The main feature of this era, according to Laurens, is that the Arab-Israeli conflict evolved into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. He explained this shift in terminology by stating that Israel tried to force a peace that only works in its own favor, yet it "failed due to the Palestinian resistance and the rise of Yasser Arafat, who became a well-known figure on the world stage and disappearing him from that stage was hard to accept by the international community."
In September 1982 the peace process was started and there were an attempt to enroll the Palestinians into the peace talks by force, i.e. they join the process but not the negotiations. This path has unfolded over many years and has opened a link between the United States and the Palestinians.
It nevertheless led to numerous political failures. This phase lasted until the First Intifada in 1987, an even that allowed the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) to announce a Palestinian state from Algeria and become the sole representative of the Palestinians in the peace process.
"It failed of course because Hamas appeared and protested that the PLO became the exclusive representative of the Palestinian cause on one hand and on the other hand the right-wing Israeli government didn't want direct negotiations with the Palestinians," Laurens said.
Laurens further explained to his audience that the first Gulf War, which isolated the PLO but relaunched the negotiations for peace, led to Madrid peace conference in 1991, in which a delegation from the occupied territories participated.
He explained that Arafat controlled the delegation because he didn't want a Palestinian force independent from his control. For Laurens, Arafat was able to keep playing a major role because he was able to get funds from international donors. "Oslo Accords were bad for Palestine, but they were good for Arafat, because it gave him more significance and huge financial abilities," he explained.
The occupation force worked to prevent any real development in the occupied territories. The Palestinians had a stringent budget that could only be used within very tight limits, even though the international parties that had participated in Oslo negotiations pledged a multi-billion dollar budget. The main challenge became how to obtain that budget.
The French historian was very critical of Arafat's political ways, stating that he refused civil strife between Palestinians but he had no resources so he had to rule by corruption and nepotism.
"You can have all kinds of good and great ideas in a certain political scene but achieving it requires tools. The active players in any conflict always have a foreign power on their side, and on this basis Arafat kept being strong because he had control of the flux of money," he said.
For Laurens, to understand what went wrong in Oslo, we have to look at the way negotiators handled it. "Negotiators kept saying that the essential issues, the right of return, the land, and Jerusalem, were to be discussed in the end of the negotiations.
During the process, each party needs to work on building trust, but what happened is that each party tried to be at a better position as the process went on, and eventually there was no trust, and the Israelis kept building settlements during the negotiation itself," he added.
When the Palestinians realized that the Israelis wouldn't make substantial concessions they opened a parallel track. They began talks with Syria that ultimately failed, following which came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000, which Laurens described as most chaotic negotiations to take place in the 20th century.
In the Arab Israeli conflict Laurens makes a distinction between "realistic land" and a sacred land, and throughout the history of the conflict, there is a continuous switch between the two.
"In 1920 the issue was the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in 1937 it was he land, and again in 1989 when the First Intifada broke out it was the land, and by the time Camp David II happened and the United States allowed the Israelis to pray in the Aqsa Mosque the issue became the holy land and the mosque," he explained.
Laurens's book stops with the rise of George W. Bush and former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to power, the subsequent characterization of the Intifada as a terrorist movement, and finally 9/11 because then the conflict enters another phase with different characteristics, as he describes it.
Laurens, who is pessimistic about the situation in the Arab World, perceives that the Arab-Israeli conflict has comparatively small stakes on the global stage. He notes that throughout the course of the conflict, 23,000-24,000 Israeli Jews and 100,000 Palestinians have been killed, while tens of Arabs have died.
Significantly more Syrians have been killed during the ongoing conflict in that country, now in its sixth year, while millions have died in Africa in vicious conflicts that are given relatively little attention. He argues that the reason the Arab-Israeli conflict is accorded such significance is the symbolism of it: it is a conflict saturated in history and religious sensitivity.
"The West can't look at the Palestinian case without seeing what happened to the Jews of Eastern Europe during World War II; Arabs and Muslims can't look at the Palestinian issue without remembering the history of the violent imperialism.
This is why the symbolic stake here is so great and this is how we come to understand the passion related to it, and this is why it is a conflict that differs from the finite conflicts in Syria and Iraq, that do not have this symbolism," he explained.
"This work isn't just about the issue of Palestine in the Arab world. It is a history of the work of empires inside our region; it is about the struggle between the empire and its enemies, the role of the United States in the conflict. This work combines details with analysis it puts the details into its context, and analyzes the social, political structures; the diplomatic history.
"It is a monitoring of events that is done according to certain logic," Bashir El-Sebai' said. "No Arab historian has taken it upon himself to present such work, it is the biggest work in one subject even in the French historical writing in the past century, and we owe Laurens this great achievement," he added.

Q: Calculating morton code i am trying to interleave(For calculating morton code) 2 signed long numbers say  x and y (32 bits) with values
case 1 :

                                x_y|= (x_y<< (i - 1));
                    }
                    else
                    {
                                (x_y= x_y<< 1) |= ybit;
                    }
        }

The above code works fine ,if we have x positive and y negative but the case 2 is failing ,Please help me ,what is going wrong?
The negative numbers uses 64 bits ,whereas positive numbers uses 32 bits.Correct me if iam wrong.

A: I think below code work according to your requirement,
Morton code is 64 bits and we are making 64 bit number from two 32 bits numbers by interleaving.
Since numbers are signed ,we have to consider negative numbers as,
if (x < 0) //value will be represented as 2's compliment,hence uses all 64 bits
    {
        value = x; //value is of 32 bit,so use only first lower 32 bits
        cout << value;
        value &= ~(1 << 31); //make sign bit to 0,as it does not contribute to real value.
    }

similarly do for y.
Following code does the interleaving,
unsigned long long x_y_copy = 0; //make a copy of ur morton code
//looping for each bit of two 32 bit numbers starting from MSB.
    for (int i = 31; i >=0; i--)
    {
        //making mort to 0,so because shifting causes loss of data
        mort = 0;
        //take 32 bit from x
        int xbit = ((unsigned long)x)& (1 << i);
        mort = (mort |= xbit)<<i+1;    /*shifting*/
        //copy  formed code to copy ,so that next time the value is preserved for appending
        x_y_copy|= mort;
         mort =0;
        //take 32nd bit from 'y' also
        int ybit = ((unsigned long)y)& (1 << i);
        mort = (mort |= ybit)<<i;
        x_y_copy |= mort;
    }
    //this is important,when 'y'  is negative because the 32nd bit of 'y' is set to 0 by above first code,and while moving 32 bit of 'y' to morton code,the value 0 is copied to 63rd bit,which has to be made to 1,as sign bit is not 63rd bit.
    if (mapu_y < 0)
    {
        x_y_copy = (x_y_copy) | (4611686018427387904);//4611686018427387904 = pow(2,63)
    }

I hope this helps.:)

Both the U. S. and our enemy Shiite Iran are on the same side in Iraq — supporting Shiite al-Maliki against Sunni Al Qaeda.
To a large extent, our frenemy Maliki brought his Anbar province troubles on himself by mistreating the Sunnis there and creating an opening for Al Qaeda. Now he's struggling to get the Sunni tribal leaders to turn against Al Qaeda and turn back to him, hoping they hate his guts a little less.
The violence spreading out from Syria shows that the Mideast right now is just fighting the Sunni-Shiite battle that's been going on since the seventh century. At this moment, it's led by Saudi Arabia and Iran fanning proxy wars, just as the U. S. and Russia had their client states during the Cold War. The Sunni Saudis are trying to fight both the Shiites and Al Qaeda, a monster they helped create. Good luck with that.
We have to fight Al Qaeda and its affiliates, and we have to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, which would lead to Saudi Arabia's getting nuclear weapons. Resolving the Sunni-Shiite thing? Fuhgeddaboudit.
Josh Rogin has an exclusive at The Daily Beast that Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) told him that President Obama has quietly suspended military aid to Egypt, although without finding that there was a coup. But we are acting, at least temporarily, as if there was a coup.
I have no problem with sending a message by delaying aid briefly, just as we would send a message by recalling our ambassador temporarily. But I think overall we should support the military.
Neither side reflects our values, so we need to go with the folks who represent our interests, and that is clearly the military.
Just as I oppose political Christianity here, I oppose political Islam there. The Muslim Brotherhood is awful for the 10% of Egyptians who are Christian, awful for women's rights, and awful for the many, many Egyptians who are Muslim, but want a modern, secular goverment.
After waiting for 85 years to take power, the Muslim Brotherhood did a miserable job. Morsi refused to reach out and run an inclusive government that tried to represent all Egyptians, he refused to be bound by the Constitution, and basically steered the country more and more toward a theocracy. I'm sure the military did all it could to "help" him fail, but he did a pretty spectacular job himself.
It would have been better to postpone elections until moderate, secular forces had an opportunity to organize, but that didn't happen. After Mubarak was overthrown, there was no Jeffersonian alternative waiting in the wings. If the choice is between autocracies, and right now it is, I'll go with the secular one, thank you very much.
It makes no sense that much of the GOP has been criticizing Obama, other than that whatever he does, they automatically feel obligated to oppose him. I can't help but believe that if Obama had immediately taken a hard line against the military and called for the reinstatement of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, the right would have asked, "What do you expect from our Muslim, terrorist-supporting President?" They would have been yelling and screaming about the threat to our fly-over rights, to our ability to jump the line at the Suez Canal, to Israel's security. Instead, you had the bizarre spectacle of John McCain and Lindsey ("Butters") Graham defending Morsi against the military. Do they really believe Egypt is better off in the seventh century?
The new allegations about Princess Diana's death don't just vaguely claim she was murdered by the British military, but specifically by the elite special forces Special Air Service (SAS).
They are analogous in terms of training and missions to the work U. S. special forces (Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Green Berets) do.
The SAS hunted down and took out suspected Al Qaeda members in Iraq and Taliban in Afghanistan in daring and dangerous raids. Taking out a royal who was seen as a threat for her romance with and possible marriage to a Muslim, resulting in Muslim siblings for the future king, Prince William? Would have been a piece of cake for these guys. Aside from her relationship with Dodi, Diana was seen as too much of a loose cannon.
I didn't expect anything to come out while the Queen and Prince Philip are alive, and I still really don't.
President Obama has cancelled scheduled joint military exercises with the Egyptian military, following its crackdown on Morsi supporters. The death toll has passed 500.
As expected, the Egyptian military is clearing out the pro-Morsi demonstrators in Cairo. There are reports of hundreds killed and wounded. They have also declared a state of emergency, which imposes a curfew and means that people can be arrested and held without charges.
Counter demonstrations are occurring all over the country.
The Obama Administration has condemned both the violence and the state of emergency.

While a panel of news anchors was discussing President Trump's attacks of the mainstream media, urging the American public to remain skeptical of the press, Brzezinski proclaimed that Americans may begin to trust Trump over the press.
Still think that MSM is "real news"? According to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, it's their job to control "exactly what people think," too. Yes, that's right—one of the most popular anchors at a major mainstream news conglomerate literally just said it's the media's job to control exactly what people think.
And yet, somehow, people keep saying that Trump's supporters are putting out fake news. They attack Breitbart, they attack Silence is Consent, they attack Info Wars, and they attack our movement.
She is crazy. She shall be fired. Noone shall pretend to control the people. Even if Prez Trump acts as influencing people for his policies. The tasks of the media is to only report the facts. Media is not an opposition party. This is so sad!!!

Joker - May announce a bounty has been placed on X player. If X is not lynched or killed within 2 days the Joker may kill 2 other people and pick his target again.
Target a first target (Seen by investigatives) and a secondary target, may self target.
When two are targeted, one of the two must be lynched during day.
Lynching someone other than the two Joker targets will allow the Joker to decide their fate (kill one/both or spare, this isn't seen by investigatives).
If this happens, the Joker may discard their original action the following night to plant a bomb to a targeted player.
Bomb causes everyone in that house (thus no visit / being visited) to die.
The Joker has a limited 4 kills from his manual kill ability, this does not reflect on Bomb.
1) What should happen if the joker gets role blocked the night he's announcing a bounty?
2) What should happen if the joker gets role blocked the night he's killing? Should he get to kill again another day? Is it then like they get a charged killing that they can use up all on one night?
3) X player. Is that a single player? What would happen if I upped it so Joker can say "lynch one of these 5 people, or I get to kill 2 people"
5) What happens if the joker's target dies instead of getting lynched. They get to rebounty the following night? I guess this doesn't matter much.

Respecting your privacy is critically important to achieving our mission of motivating every student. These are our guiding privacy principles:
We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
We don't keep your personal information longer than is necessary to provide our services to you.
We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, provide our services, or protect our rights.
We don't rent, sell or exchange your personal information.
We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what's visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
This Privacy Policy describes how Quizizz collects, uses, shares, stores and protects your personally identifiable information and how you can access, update, delete, limit, and otherwise halt the use of this information. We offer you choices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information, including the option to use services without providing personal information.
We strive to support as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. If a screen reader makes this policy more accessible to you, we recommend the following browser and screen reader combinations: Chrome and ChromeVox, Safari and VoiceOver (for Mac users), and Firefox and NVDA (for Windows users).
Protecting students and their personal information
Quizizz believes the personally identifiable information of children and students deserves special protections and we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). We also assist schools in meeting their obligations pursuant to the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act ("FERPA"). Quizizz offers a limited feature set and web site experience for young users of Quizizz. We do not require students to submit their name or contact information, nor do we require them to create accounts. When a student indicates that they are under the age when they can grant consent on their own, Quizizz does not collect personal information as defined under COPPA and may take additional steps to safeguard student privacy as required by law. Except as described in this privacy policy, Quizizz does not accumulate personal information about any child for distribution, sharing, or selling.
Here are some examples of safety and privacy measures on Quizizz:
Behaviorally targeted advertising is not permitted on Quizizz.
Students can join games without creating an account.
Students who have not or cannot provide consent have a limited product experience.
The platform does not facilitate direct messaging between students.
Quizzes are subject to proactive content filters and reactive reporting tools.
Quizizz empowers parents and legal guardians of children younger than the age of consent (in the U.S., this means under 13) who have registered accounts with Quizizz to exercise their legal rights pursuant to legislation such as COPPA. Parents/guardians can consent to collection and use by Quizizz of a child's personally identifiable information (PII) without consenting to the disclosure of information to third parties by Quizizz. Currently, the only personal information we collect from a child younger than 13 is their parent's or guardian's email address.
Parents/guardians may delete, modify, and review information their children shared with Quizizz by accessing their child's account. They may also create a parent account to manage their child's access to Quizizz. Parents may also request that Quizizz delete that information and refuse to allow Quizizz to collect further information from their children by contacting us at privacy@quizizz.com. Quizizz may ask additional questions or take other steps to verify the identity of parents/guardians before responding to a request to review or delete their child's information, or a request to refuse further collection from children.
Quizizz will never require a child to share more information than is reasonably necessary for using Quizizz. While Quizizz will assign persistent identifiers to all Quizizz users to recognize repeat visitors and improve their Quizizz experience, Quizizz does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children younger than the age of consent without a parent or guardian's consent. If we become aware, despite our intention not to gather this information, that we collected personally identifiable information from a child younger than the age of consent without permission then we will either delete this information or seek to obtain verifiable parental consent from the child's parent or guardian to collect and use that data to provide the child with Quizizz services in the future.
How Quizizz Collects Personal Information
The information that Quizizz collects depends on the nature of the services you request. For example, fewer data are collected from a student joining a game without an account than from a teacher who creates an account in order to create quizzes and host games. All interactions with the Quizizz website or app produce metadata that may identify you or could be identifiable information when paired with other information about you. In every case, Quizizz strives to collect only the minimum necessary information from you as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Quizizz or that is required by law. Visitors to the Quizizz website or app may always refuse to supply personally identifying information, however, doing so may prevent you from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Information you provide to Quizizz
Accounts are not a prerequisite to using Quizizz, but are required to access some features and to save progress over time. If you create an account, Quizizz saves the account information you provide. This information may include: an email address, a parent or guardian email address, first name, last name, profile photo, or organization name.
You may choose not to provide specific information or to delete or modify it at any time. These actions may prevent you from engaging with specific services or features that require this information. Additional information may be provided to Quizizz if you communicate with our support team, participate in user research, marketing campaigns or sweepstakes, or otherwise use the services.
If you engage in a financial transaction with Quizizz, you may be asked to provide additional information such as a credit card number, billing address or full name.
As you use the service, you may also create academic content including quizzes and certain forms of responses. This information is not typically personally identifying, but it may be deleted at any time either by the relevant account holder or by reaching out to our team at support@quizizz.com.
We receive and store some types of information automatically as you use the service. These may include device information such as device model, operating system, and device identifiers such as IDFA and UDID.
Quizizz also collects log information as you use the service. These data may include information regarding how and when you use the service as well as your browser type, preferred language, time zone, referring site, and internet protocol (IP) address.
We may use your IP address to generate a general approximation of your location to provide the service. Examples include providing the right version of Quizizz based on your state or country and helping teachers select their school when they sign up. Quizizz does not collect fine location data such as GPS or bluetooth beacons.
Depending on how you use the service, Quizizz may collect information from partners and integrated technologies. For example, if you choose to use Google Login or join using the Google Classroom integration, we may receive information including your name and email address from Google. Quizizz does not have access to the passwords used to log into your Google accounts.
We may also receive your personal information from another user. For example, a teacher might input your email in order to share a quiz or parent report. If a teacher chooses to enter student information directly into Quizizz or requires students to sign up via the Google Classroom Integration, Classes on Quizizz, or a similar rostering functionality, we require that teachers or schools get parental consent before using Quizizz with children who are under the age when they can grant consent on their own.
Content on Quizizz may contain links to other websites not affiliated with the service. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and users need to be aware of the data privacy practices of such sites should they choose to use these links.
As described above, we limit data collection to what we need to provide the requested services. Quizizz does not knowingly collect data considered sensitive by GDPR such as those related to race or ethnicity, health and biometric information, or political affiliation. In addition to these categories, we do not collect free or reduced lunch eligibility.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies to test new features and to help Quizizz identify and track visitors, their usage of the Quizizz website, and their website access preferences.

How does Quizizz use this information?
Quizizz limits its disclosure of both information that could on its own or in combination with other information be used to identify you. We only disclose personally identifying information to Quizizz employees, contractors and subcontractors that: (i) must access that information in order to process it on Quizizz's behalf or to provide services available at Quizizz's website and mobile applications; and, (ii) agree not to disclose that information to others.
Quizizz does not rent, sell or exchange potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to any third party without your consent. Other than to Quizizz's employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Quizizz discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law such as to comply with a court order, or when Quizizz believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property, or legal rights or safety of Quizizz, third parties or the public at large.
The information we collect helps us to provide the service, maintain a consistent experience, and improve it or develop new services. Examples of how this information is used include:
Providing access to your account and saving progress over time.
Personalizing your experience based on factors such as general location, preferred language and areas of study.
Helping teachers identify and support individual students.
Analyzing engagement with specific features over time.
We also use personal information to enforce our policies, comply with the law, and promote safety on the platform. These efforts protect the property, or legal rights or safety of Quizizz, third parties or the public at large. Examples of these efforts include:
Preventing security breaches and fraud.
Protecting users from inappropriate content.
Verifying the identity of a user
Complying with privacy legislation.
