There are more tech stories happening around the globe than Rest of World alone could possibly cover. Here are some of the articles, podcasts, and photography essays by other publications that most impressed us during 2022. Between them, they cover the high-profile scandals surrounding Twitter and crypto, the devastating war in Ukraine, as well as stories unfolding away from global attention, such as the experiences of low-income workers whose inputs are crucial for artificial intelligence and TikTok.

“The hidden marketing machine behind Brazil’s food delivery giant”

By Clarissa Levy and Bárbara D’Osualdo, Coda Story

More than 80% of Brazil’s food delivery app market is taken up by iFood. This investigation, first published by the São Paulo nonprofit Agência Pública, exposed one tactic iFood uses to maintain its dominance. Digital marketing firms on the company’s payroll regularly undercut delivery workers organizing on social media by infiltrating the workers’ Facebook groups with fake profiles or by identifying leading organizers to “shadow ban” on the iFood platform. It is a striking document of how social media has become a key battleground for labor movements, and those who wish to suppress them, in the gig economy. – Andrew Deck, reporter

“Exposing Indonesia’s Coal Oligarchs”

By Viriya Singgih, Project Multatuli

I’ve long admired Project Multatuli, a young, not-for-profit media outfit from Indonesia that punches well above its weight. Here’s an illustration of their chops: an interactive that combines the intensive research of a report with a wry reference in format to game-playing — and the aesthetics of Street Fighter. – Sarah Hilton, Asia editor

“The Benin Bronzes and the road to restitution”

In 2022, photographers for Rest of World traveled far and wide to connect the dots between technology and how it impacts our lives: from the apps we download to how we shop for new clothing to open-source intelligence in Ukraine to the crypto collapse.

Our photographers created images that reflect this new reality, and the people living it. They went snorkeling on remote islands in French Polynesia, flew drones over nickel mines in Indonesia, and met with clandestine crypto miners in Lebanon. They made hundreds of photos for the stories we published this year.

Here are a few of our favorites.

Marcelo Perez for Rest of World The unlikely quest to build electric vehicles in Bolivia

In La Paz, Marcelo Perez photographed Quantum Motors, a Bolivian company attempting to revolutionize the local car economy, one charge at a time. Championed as a symbol of Bolivia’s lithium-powered future, Quantum’s tiny electric cars cost around $6,000 apiece and can fit one person comfortably.

Suliane Favennec for Rest of World How islanders in French Polynesia built their own online shopping ecosystem

On the remote islands of French Polynesia, Suliane Favennec photographed the local startups filling e-commerce gaps by planes and boats. Favennec even went underwater to photograph for this story.

Yuri Kozyrev/NOOR for Rest of World InDriver’s unique haggling feature is helping it expand outside Siberia

In the midst of Siberian winter, photographer Yuri Kozyrev ventured out onto the ice pack of Yakutsk, Russia to photograph the ride-hailing app inDriver. Like Uber, the platform connects riders with drivers, but, uniquely, also lets them haggle over the price.

Venezuela’s gamers see esports as a way to escape the country’s crisis

On one of the top floors of a half-abandoned shopping mall in Caracas, photographer Lexi Para met with a team of professional online video game players, known as the Gorgeous Gamers. In a country facing widespread economic

0% introductory APR for 21 months on balance transfers: One of the longest introductory periods on balance transfers we've come across, you'll get a 0% intro APR on the balance transferred for a full 21 months, which means you’ll have almost two years to pay off your balance.

0% introductory APR for 12 months on purchases: You'll also get a 0% intro APR on new purchases for the first 12 months. This is a helpful perk if you plan on buying anything with the card.

Choose your payment due date: A little flexibility can go a long way when it comes to managing your finances. The card lets you choose from any available payment date, whether it's in the beginning, middle, or end of the month. That way, you can set up automatic payments that are aligned with your paycheck.

No late fees: One of the most unique perks is that there are no late fees, ever. While you should always pay your bill on time, because late payments can still affect your credit, it's nice to know that you won't be charged if you do slip up and miss a payment.

No penalty APR: If you miss some payments, most credit cards will increase your interest rate to their penalty APR. Citi® Simplicity® Card never charges a penalty rate, so your APR isn't at risk of increasing due to late payments.

No annual fee: This card comes with no annual fee, which is an important feature if your goal is to pay off debt.

Sami Zayn has been part of the WWE family for well over 8 years now and worked hard to become a dependable star. His ability to master anything handed to him has helped him earn the trust of WWE.

Click here for our complete coverage of WWE SmackDown this week.

The Bloodline has become the most dominant faction in the entire company. For a long time now, Sami Zayn had been on a mission to be part of The Bloodline as well. He is now considered an Honorary Uce by the faction.

Jey Uso wasn’t all that happy about that and continues to have a lot of trouble with Zayn. Despite this, Zayn has made it clear that he will remain a true part of the Bloodline.

For many fans, Sami Zayn’s current role has become the best thing about Friday Night Smackdown as well. In fact, even his fellow Bloodline members sing praises of him now. While speaking with GiveMeSport WWE, Solo Sikoa called Sami Zayn the Kobe Bryant of WWE.

“A lot of people would do anything to be in my position to get taught by these guys –- my brothers, the best tag team in WWE ever; Roman Reigns, the greatest champion and still going; and Sami Zayn, the student of the game,” Sikoa said. “He’s like the Kobe Bryant of wrestling.”

He also doesn’t want to face Roman Reigns in the future. We will have to wait and see what is next in store for Sami Zayn.

Triple H is undoubtedly a veteran in the pro wrestling world and is one of the most important figures in WWE’s history, being one of the mainstays of the Attitude Era. He eventually became a huge deal backstage as well.

Ahead of his huge boxing match against Anderson Silva, Jake Paul decided to pay tribute to Triple H during the weigh-in for the match. He did Triple H’s iconic water spit and fans certainly noticed this.

Triple H took to Twitter and reacted to Jake Paul imitating him, as he made it clear that he approved of what the younger Paul brother did.

GAME ON!

In the meantime, Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, is scheduled to battle Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel on November 5th. We’ll have to see how that match will turn out to be.

Are you excited for Paul’s fight against Silva? Let us know in the comments!

Bayley was away for well over a year after suffering an ACL injury while training at the WWE Performance Center. She finally returned during WWE SummerSlam, alongside Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. They are known as Damage CTRL and haven’t lost any steam since.

Bayley is a multi-time Women’s Champion in WWE, even having a record-breaking reign as the Smackdown Women’s Champion a couple of years ago. WWE introduced the Women’s Tag Team Titles after repeated requests from Bayley, Sasha Banks, and so many more.

However, there is no mid-card title for women in WWE. While speaking to Riju Dasgupta, Bayley made it clear that she wants a mid-card title for women in WWE.

“I mean, it wouldn’t hurt. It would be nice to have another title. I think it’s just gonna take time. When we wanted those Women’s Tag Team titles, it took a long time and it took someone actually fighting for them, so if that’s what we want, someone has to stand up for it and really fight for it and prove that it’s going to be a benefit for the division.”

Bayley is set to challenge Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Championship in a Last Woman Standing Match at WWE Crown Jewel on November 5th. We’ll have to wait and see how the match will turn out to be.

AEW President Tony Khan has a lot of passion for professional wrestling, and no one doubts that whatsoever. However, his reputation has taken a hit over the past year or so.

All Elite Wrestling was plagued with injuries this year, with CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole all being on the shelf at one point or another. Not only that, but others such as Kris Statlander and Thunder Rosa are injured as well. Even Adam Page suffered a concussion during last week’s AEW Dynamite.

While speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T blasted AEW fans for treating pro wrestlers like toys and not caring about the fact that they are injured.

“The AEW fans, man. They don’t care about those guys in the ring. They do not care about those guys working. Those guys could — they’re nothing more than toys, video games for these guys.

“They don’t care about those guys in the ring.” “If they’re not out there getting a ‘This Is Awesome’ chant, they don’t give a damn about these guys going out there getting hurt. They really don’t.”

Adam Page said that he was doing fine after undergoing a medical evaluation. We will have to wait and see when The Millennial Cowboy will make his triumphant return to AEW television.

LMusk has been cutting -- and started right after the deal closed Thursday with several executives, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, people familiar with the matter have said.

Elon Musk has started to cut employees at Twitter.

People who identified themselves as Twitter employees were seen leaving the company’s San Francisco headquarters carrying boxes of belongings. Internally, Slack channels lit up with suspicion that the departing people were enacting a hoax, and were not in fact laid off, people familiar with the matter said.

Still, Musk has been cutting — and started right after the deal closed Thursday with several executives, including the CEO and CFO, they said.

The company has scheduled an employee meeting for next Wednesday, but some staff did not receive invitations, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.

Twitter didn’t respond to a request for comment.
