TikTok launches a new version of its “borderline suggestive model” to help identify sexually explicit content
Everyone wants to be safe when engaging in some form of online social activities. With TikTok, there is no gain saying how important it is to stay safe. While Americans continue to express doubts about the safety and privacy of its citizens on the platform, TikTok continues to launch some safety measures to improve what you see online. The China-owned app has just launched a new version of its “borderline suggestive model” to help identify sexually explicit content. According to a statement on the company’s blog, its priority has always been to make everyone “feel safe” while using its platform. “We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable when they spend time on TikTok. We’ve always had strict policies prohibiting nudity, sexual activity, and sexually explicit content, including content that directs to adult websites or apps. Over 40,000 dedicated trust and safety professionals work to develop and enforce these policies and build processes and technologies to detect, remove or restrict violative content at scale,” TikTok said in a blog post. A TikTok spokesperson said the new mode is now better able to detect so-called “borderline content,” videos that do not explicitly break the company’s rules, but may not be...
Amazon is reportedly developing its own standalone sports app
Image Credit: Amazon Per The Information, Amazon is working on a new standalone streaming app to declutter Prime Video and better highlight its current deal with the NFL, Premier League, and the New York Yankees. This is coming on the heels of recent comments made by Andy Jassy, the Amazon CEO. Jassy highlighted live sports content as one of the areas the company plans to continue spending money even as it tries to cut cost in other areas. According to The Information, there is no fixed or exact release date for the new app from Amazon. It also cannot confirm if the ecommerce giant has any plan to charge separately for access to Prime Video’s sports content. The Information, however, adds that Amazon may decide to abandon plans to launch the app. A couple of weeks ago, Amazon added a TikTok-like shopping experience within its app. The launch of Inspire, according to Amazon, will allow consumers to browse products and ideas and shop from content created by brands, influencers, and other customers. Inspire offers a short-form video and photo feed, and is similar to how TikTok works. According to Amazon, Inspire will initially roll out to select customers in the...
Meta set to decide whether to allow Trump back on Facebook And Instagram
This month could be decisive in lifting the ban placed on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. According to the Financial Times, Meta is set to decide whether to allow the former president regain access to his social media accounts. Recall that Meta had earlier said it will decide by January 7 whether or not to allow Trump return. The FT, however, reports that the decision could be delayed until later in the month, citing person familiar with the matter. Meta has already set up a working group to focus on the Trump suspension, according to those with internal knowledge of its operations, the FT adds. The working group includes, staffers from the public policy and communications teams, as well as the content policy team. In November, Elon Musk confirmed that Twitter had lifted the suspension it placed on Trump’s account after the riot that took place at the Capitol Hill. The lifting of the suspension runs contrary to an earlier statement made by Musk where he affirmed that no decision on account reinstatements would be made until the company had put together a “content moderation council” to decide on such moves. The decision to reinstate the account however, was made...

If it’s available to you, you will see that the progress bar is white or gray, rather than red. When you’re watching a video in portrait orientation, you might see it. You won’t see it on the light theme. Android Police also reported that some iPhone and iPad users have also spotted the new color of the progress bar. If you don’t see it yet, you might need to update the app to the latest version. If after updating the feature is still not enabled, it will be very soon. Updates YouTube has released several updates in the past few weeks. Recently, it released the add-to-queue feature on the YouTube website. Previously, the only way to get back to content that you don’t want to watch right away is to save it to “Save to Watch later” option or you can send it to Save to playlist. But these options are more permanent. If means that if you no longer want the video, you need to remove it manually after watching it. However, the YouTube queue feature is temporary....
