<p>A new online tool, funded by Meta, colloquially known as Facebook and developed by The National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children (NCMEC) is helping people remove their sexually explicit images and videos that have spread across the wide realms of the internet. The tool, named 'Take It Down' is an attempt to grant more authority to the original owners of the media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The only caveat is that the images will only be removed from the participating platforms. Currently, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, Yubo, OnlyFans and Pornhub are some of the platforms that have joined the initiative.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“<a href="https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Take It Down</strong></a>&nbsp;is made specifically for people who have an image that they have reason to believe is already out on the web somewhere, or that it could be,” Gavin Portnoy, an NCMEC spokesperson was quoted as saying by The Associated Press.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Portnoy added that teens share such images with the person they are dating or someone who has extorted them. Once the image is out, they fear going to law enforcement agencies, fearing for their privacy.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/meta-fined-more-than-400-million-over-european-union-data-breaches-549688" target="_blank"><strong>WATCH | Meta fined more than $400 million over European Union data breaches</strong></a></p>

<p>The website tool enables them to maintain a certain level of anonymity and simultaneously helps in removing the contentious image from spreading further.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We created this system because many children are facing these desperate situations. Our hope is that children become aware of this service, and they feel a sense of relief that tools exist to help take the images down. NCMEC is here to help," said Michelle DeLaune, president and CEO of NCMEC.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To achieve the objective, an individual needs to visit the website and create a digital footprint, also called 'hash value' by uploading the said photograph or video that has been leaked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This fingerprint is then fed into the database and participating companies remove the media from their services - no questions asked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, if someone has altered the original image by cropping or adding any emoji or turning it into a meme - the hash value changes.</p>

<p>The participating platforms have been one of the most criticised online services for failing to protect minors from sexual exploitation.&nbsp;</p>

A new online tool, funded by Meta, colloquially known as Facebook and developed by The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is helping people remove their sexually explicit images and videos that have spread across the wide realms of the internet.

A new online tool, funded by Meta, colloquially known as Facebook and developed by The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is helping people remove their sexually explicit images and videos that have spread across the wide realms of the internet. The tool, named 'Take It Down' is an attempt to grant more authority to the original owners of the media. The only caveat is that the images will only be removed from the participating platforms. Currently, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, Yubo, OnlyFans and Pornhub are some of the platforms that have joined the initiative. “Take It Down is made specifically for people who have an image that they have reason to believe is already out on the web somewhere, or that it could be,” Gavin Portnoy, an NCMEC spokesperson was quoted as saying by The Associated Press. Portnoy added that teens share such images with the person they are dating or someone who has extorted them. Once the image is out, they fear going to law enforcement agencies, fearing for their privacy. WATCH | Meta fined more than $400 million over European Union data breaches The website tool enables them to maintain a certain level of anonymity and simultaneously helps in removing the contentious image from spreading further. “We created this system because many children are facing these desperate situations. Our hope is that children become aware of this service, and they feel a sense of relief that tools exist to help take the images down. NCMEC is here to help," said Michelle DeLaune, president and CEO of NCMEC. Read more: Meta bans targeted ads at teenagers based on gender To achieve the objective, an individual needs to visit the website and create a digital footprint, also called 'hash value' by uploading the said photograph or video that has been leaked. This fingerprint is then fed into the database and participating companies remove the media from their services - no questions asked. However, if someone has altered the original image by cropping or adding any emoji or turning it into a meme - the hash value changes. The participating platforms have been one of the most criticised online services for failing to protect minors from sexual exploitation. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

This Meta-funded tool helps people remove their explicit images, videos from online platforms

<p>Indian star shuttler PV Sindhu has decided to part ways with her South Korean coach Park Tae-Sang. The development was confirmed by the coach on Instagram on Friday (February 24). Thus, this brings an end to a memorable four-year association between Sindhu and Park which saw the former win gold in the World Championships and Commonwealth Games along with a bronze in Tokyo Olympics. In addition, she clinched the Syed Modi International, the Swiss Open, and the Singapore Open under his guidance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Park wrote&nbsp;on his Instagram post, "I came back to Hyderabad a few days ago. And I want to say thank you to everyone who worried about my father. To be honest, my father's condition is not good yet. So I felt heavy walking back to India."</p>

<p>"I'd like to talk about my relationship with PV Sindhu, which many people have asked about. She has made disappointing moves in all recent matches, and as a coach, I feel responsible. So she wanted a change and said she would find a new coach. I decided to respect and follow her decision. I'm sorry that I can't be with her until the next Olympics, but now I'm going to support her from afar. I will remember every moment with her. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting and encouraging me," he further added.</p>

<p>Meta's new verification business could generate a whopping 12 million subscribers for Mark Zuckerberg-owned social media empire, a Bank of America research note said. This makes for a $1.7 billion in "high-margin revenue in 2024", the research note claimed. The Menlo Park, California-headquartered social media conglomerate is testing its new subscription service in Australia and New Zealand months after Twitter and Snapchat announced their head start in paid verification social media business.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is Meta's paid verification service?</strong></h2>

<p>The service, announced by Meta Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week, has been pitched as a way to increase "authenticity and security" across the Meta platforms; Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Meta Quest. At present, the service starts at $11.99 per month. This entails a verification badge and identity verification features and related tools. The service is under testing in Australia and New Zealand.</p>

<p>Facebook's parent company Meta has reportedly delayed finalising the team budgets at multiple levels as it reportedly sets the backdrop for yet another round of job cuts. A report in Financial Times, citing two Meta employees, said that there has been a lack of clarity on crucial matters such as team budgets as well as "future headcounts" in recent weeks. People at Meta have complained that since their managers have been unable to plan their upcoming workloads, their work efficiency is being hampered up to the point of "zero work".</p>

<p>"Honestly, it’s still a mess," Financial Times quoted one of the Meta employees as saying. "The year of efficiency is kicking off with a bunch of people getting paid to do nothing."</p>

Facebook's parent company Meta has reportedly delayed finalising the team budgets at multiple levels as it reportedly sets the backdrop for yet another round of job cuts.

Facebook's parent company Meta has reportedly delayed finalising the team budgets at multiple levels as it reportedly sets the backdrop for yet another round of job cuts. A report in Financial Times, citing two Meta employees, said that there has been a lack of clarity on crucial matters such as team budgets as well as "future headcounts" in recent weeks. People at Meta have complained that since their managers have been unable to plan their upcoming workloads, their work efficiency is being hampered up to the point of "zero work". "Honestly, it’s still a mess," Financial Times quoted one of the Meta employees as saying. "The year of efficiency is kicking off with a bunch of people getting paid to do nothing."

South Korean actor Lee Seung Gi to marry girlfriend Lee Da In: Check date, time, venue & handwritten post

<p>India and New Zealand locked horns in the three-match T20I series decider on Wednesday (February 01), in Ahmedabad, with the scoreline being 1-1. Opting to bat first, India rode on in-form opener Shubman Gill's 63-ball 126 not out, laced with 12 fours and 7 sixes, to post a mammoth 234 for 4 and dismissed the Kiwis for a paltry 66 in 12.1 overs to win by a humongous 168-run margin at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad. Gill slammed his maiden ton in the format. In addition, he registered the highest individual score by an Indian batter in T20Is, surpassing Virat Kohli's 122*. He became the seventh Indian batter to score a T20I hundred and became the fifth among his countrymen to log a ton in all forms of the game.</p>

<p>After his Ahmedabad heroics, Kohli -- who will next be seen in action during the forthcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia on home soil -- took to his official Instagram account to laud Gill. On his Instagram story, the 34-year-old shared Gill's picture and wrote, "Sitara (Star). The future is here."</p>

<p>Gill stitched an entertaining 80-run second-wicket stand with Rahul Tripathi, who set the platform for his side courtesy his 22-ball 44. He was well supported by Suryakumar Yadav (13-ball 24) and captain Hardik Pandya (17-ball 30) as India piled up a mammoth total and defended it with ease, with Hardik leading the charge (with 4 for 16) along with two-fers from Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik each.</p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, centurion Gill said, "It feels good when you practice and it pays off. I was backing myself to score big. Didn't happen in the Sri Lanka series, but happy to see it work out now. Everybody has a different technique to hit sixes. Hardik bhai told me to play my game, not do anything extra and he kept backing me. When you represent your country, there is no fatigue. It was my dream to play for India, and I am very fortunate to be part of the team in all three formats."</p>

Opting to bat first, India rode on in-form opener Shubman Gill's 63-ball 126 not out, laced with 12 fours and 7 sixes, to post a mammoth 234 for 4 and dismissed the Kiwis for a paltry 66 in 12.1 overs to win by a humongous 168-run margin at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad. Gill slammed his maiden ton in the format. In addition, he registered the highest individual score by an Indian batter in T20Is, surpassing Virat Kohli's 122*. He became the seventh Indian batter to score a T20I hundred and became the fifth among his countrymen to log a ton in all forms of the game. After his Ahmedabad heroics, Kohli -- who will next be seen in action during the forthcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia on home soil -- took to his official Instagram account to laud Gill. On his Instagram story, the 34-year-old shared Gill's picture and wrote, "Sitara (Star). The future is here."

He was well supported by Suryakumar Yadav (13-ball 24) and captain Hardik Pandya (17-ball 30) as India piled up a mammoth total and defended it with ease, with Hardik leading the charge (with 4 for 16) along with two-fers from Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik each. At the post-match presentation, centurion Gill said, "It feels good when you practice and it pays off. I was backing myself to score big. Didn't happen in the Sri Lanka series, but happy to see it work out now. Everybody has a different technique to hit sixes. Hardik bhai told me to play my game, not do anything extra and he kept backing me. When you represent your country, there is no fatigue. It was my dream to play for India, and I am very fortunate to be part of the team in all three formats."

<p>Meta-owned Instagram launched the ‘Quiet Mode’ to discourage people from consistently being on the app. Targeted at teenagers, the ‘Quiet Mode’ will ensure that once enabled, they do not receive any notifications.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Once a user enables the Quiet Mode, the profile activity status will change to 'In Quiet Mode' for the followers. If someone sends a Direct Message while the user is 'In Quiet Mode', Instagram will send an auto-reply (just like the automated reply that are sent by WhatsApp Business users).</p>

<p>Instagram said that one can easily customize&nbsp;the 'Quiet Mode' hours to fit an individual's schedule.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Anyone can use ‘Quiet mode’, but we’ll prompt teens to do so when they spend a specific amount of time on Instagram late at night," Instagram said in a blog post.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Where will the Quiet Mode be available?</strong></p>

<p>Instagram said that the ‘Quiet mode’ will be available to everyone in the US, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand today. The platform hopes to bring it to more countries soon.</p>

<p>Instagram also came up with other features. This includes new ways to manage recommendations and supporting teens’ experience with updated parental supervision tools.</p>

<p><strong>Expansion of recommended posts</strong></p>

<p>While users can already hide comments and DMs containing specific words, Instagram has now expanded the feature to apply to recommended posts that one sees across Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Add a word or list of words, emojis or hashtags that you want to avoid – like ‘fitness’ or ‘recipes’ – and we’ll work to no longer recommend content with those words in the caption or the hashtag,” Instagram said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One can access this feature in the ‘Hidden Words’ section of Privacy settings.</p>

<p><strong>Parental supervision tools</strong></p>

<p>Instagram, under its 'Family Centre and supervision tools' feature, said that it will maker it easier for the parents to stay "more aware of the choices their teens make".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If their teen updates a setting, parents will receive a notification so they can talk to their teen about the change. Parents can now also view accounts their teen has blocked," Instagram said.</p>

Meta-owned Instagram launched the ‘Quiet Mode’ to discourage people from consistently being on the app. Targeted at teenagers, the ‘Quiet Mode’ will ensure that once enabled, they do not receive any notifications. Once a user enables the Quiet Mode, the profile activity status will change to 'In Quiet Mode' for the followers. If someone sends a Direct Message while the user is 'In Quiet Mode', Instagram will send an auto-reply (just like the automated reply that are sent by WhatsApp Business users). Instagram said that one can easily customize the 'Quiet Mode' hours to fit an individual's schedule.

One can access this feature in the ‘Hidden Words’ section of Privacy settings. Parental supervision tools Instagram, under its 'Family Centre and supervision tools' feature, said that it will maker it easier for the parents to stay "more aware of the choices their teens make".

Meta’s independent oversight board has reportedly decided to lift its strict rule that had banned photos of bare breasts to be posted on Instagram and Facebook, following a decade-long “free the nipple” campaign. The oversight board, which is composed of academics, politicians and journalists, on January 17 advised the tech firm to change its adult nudity and sexual activity community standard “so that it is governed by clear criteria that respect international human rights standards”, reports the Guardian. The recommendations of the board are said to be binding and it is expected that Meta will most likely follow them. In its recommendation, the board said that “the [old] policy is based on a binary view of gender and a distinction between male and female bodies,” which makes rules about baring nipples “unclear” for those who do not identify as women. It argued that the policy hindered inclusivity on the platforms, especially for women, intersex, non-binary and transgender people. The move comes after the board overturned Meta’s decision to strike out two Instagram posts featuring transgender and non-binary people with bare chests. Meta’s strict nudity policy has been the subject of an intense debate over its strict guidelines in cutting the exposure of women’s nipples. This rule had often come in the way of breastfeeding women who have had their content censured. The movement, which began in 2000 in an attempt to de-sexualise the image of breasts, went mainstream in 2012 after Facebook took down clips from the actor/director Lina Esco’s documentary Free the Nipple.

<p>Argentina superstar Lionel Messi is on a record-breaking spree at the moment after winning the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Having already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players to ever play the sport, Messi reached another landmark when his first celebratory Instagram post after the World Cup triumph became the most-liked social media post of all time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The previous record was held by TikToker Bella Poarch who had posted a video of her lip-syncing to Millie B's ‘M to the B’ and amassed 60.3 million likes. However, as of the last update, Messi's post had beaten Poarch's record by&nbsp;garnering over 67 million likes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!! I dreamed it so many times, I wanted it so much that I still haven't fallen, I can't believe it," read the post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Thank you very much to my family, to all who support me and also to all who believed in us. We demonstrate once again that Argentines when we fight together and united we are capable of achieving what we set out to do. The merit belongs to this group, which is above individualities, it is the strength of all fighting for the same dream that was also the dream of all Argentines... We did it!!! GO ARGENTINA!!!!! we are seeing each other very soon," it added.&nbsp;</p>

Argentina ended their 36-year-long drought by winning the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition on Sunday evening (December 18), edging past defending champions France in a riveting finale at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.

Argentina ended their 36-year-long drought by winning the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition on Sunday evening (December 18), edging past defending champions France in a riveting finale at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar. Being ahead by 2-0 till the 80th minute, Argentina lost the plot with Frenchman Kylian Mbappe scoring twice and taking the game to the extra time. The extra time also couldn't separate the two sides with the scoreline being 3-3 before Lionel Messi & Co. kept their calm and emerged on top in the penalty shootout (by a 4-2 margin). With this, Messi's World Cup run ended on an emphatic fashion and the 35-year-old also returned with the Golden Ball Award; being the first to win in twice. After the win, Messi is on cloud nine and kept the World Cup trophy close to him. In a recent Instagram post, the Argentine captain shared pictures of him sleeping with the coveted trophy.

Lionel Messi-led Argentina won the FIFA World Cup 2022 final, beating the defending champions France in an epic clash at the Lusail Stadium, Qatar on Sunday (December 18).

Lionel Messi-led Argentina won the FIFA World Cup 2022 final, beating the defending champions France in an epic clash at the Lusail Stadium, Qatar on Sunday (December 18). Having reached the final in style, beating the 2018 edition's runners-up Croatia 3-0, Messi & Co. started off with a bang and were leading 2-0 till the 80th minute before France rode on Kylian Mbappe's twin strikes and levelled the scores to push the game to the extra time. In the extra time, Argentina was once again ahead by 3-2, with Messi striking for the second time in the contest before Mbappe's hat-trick pushed the game to the penalty shootout where Argentina ended on top (4-2). After the game, wishes have been pouring in from all corners for Argentina captain Messi. He had already revealed, post the Croatia win, that the Qatar final will be his last World Cup appearance and, hence, he ended his run in the mega event on a glorious note. Hence, many legends have joined in to wish the 35-year-old Messi. Roger Federer, who retired from tennis early this year, took to his official Instagram handle and wrote, "Fairytale stuff Argentina! Time and time again you @leomessi have redefined greatness. It’s a privilege to watch you. Congrats Leo & Special and historic," along with sharing a photo of Messi's famous World Cup trophy kiss.

'Husband to a Superwoman': Shoaib Malik's Instagram bio goes viral amid divorce rumours with Sania Mirza

<p>In a series of decisions, European Union’s privacy regulators have said that Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta Platforms’ Inc should not require users to agree to personalised advertisements based on their digital activity, said a report by the Wall Street Journal. This could affect the company’s access to sell such ads which also reportedly contribute a significant amount to Meta’s revenue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The personalised advertisements in question are the ones that the social media platforms show tp their users based on their activity, clicks and what they watch within Meta’s own apps. Notably, Meta users can opt out of ads based on their activity on other websites and apps, a provision that has been in place for years but is not applicable for ads data based on user activity on its own platforms.</p>

<p>This comes after the European Union privacy regulators approved a series of decisions, in line with their privacy laws, which cannot be evaded by Meta using their terms of service as a justification, said a person familiar with the matter to the WSJ. However, the board’s ruling which was approved on Monday has not been made public yet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the report, if users are allowed to opt out of such targeted ads, platforms like Facebook and Instagram would have less access to user information which is used to build these ads, and people close to the company say these ads contribute significantly to the platforms’ revenue.</p>

Ireland is also home to Meta’s headquarters in the 27-country bloc. &nbsp;</p>

Meta’s targeted advertisements could face restrictions in the EU: Report

<p>A 16-year-old Pennsylvania boy reportedly admitted through Instagram video chat of murdering a 13-year-old girl. After he was taken into custody, he informed police that "it was an accident," read the criminal complaint. The incident took place in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Police on Friday afternoon was alerted by a girl that she reportedly received a video call and text messages from Joshua Cooper. The girl said that in an Instagram video chat, Cooper told her that he had killed someone. Cooper also sought help from the girl for disposing the body, the complaint said.</p>

<p>When police arrived at Cooper's house in response to the report of the video chat, they observed a young guy sprinting out from the rear of the house who they suspect to be Cooper. Police found the 13-year-old victim inside the home with a "large caliber" gunshot wound to her chest, according to the complaint. The authorities said the girl's family later recognised the victim based on the jewellery she was wearing.</p>

<p>Later, police found and apprehended Cooper. The complaint claims that the suspect was making "unsolicited utterances" as he was being taken into custody. Cooper was saying “sorry” and that he is “going to jail for the rest of his life.” However, Cooper was denied bail on several adult charges which includes criminal homicide. The 16 years old was sent to a juvenile detention centre, according to a police statement, reported CNN.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the complaint, Cooper during an interview with detectives reportedly admitted to viewing a Netflix series with the victim in his house. The paper said that the suspect claimed to have been in a previous relationship with the victim. Additionally, according to the complaint, Cooper said that he had accessed his father's safe earlier that day and opened it by replacing the batteries that his father had taken out, rendering the combination lock unoperational. The document stated that he removed, rearranged, and replaced the weapons that were in the safe.</p>

<p>Cooper and his mother reportedly "terminated" the investigators' interview with them before it was finished. According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, Cooper's next court date is December 7.</p>

Police on Friday afternoon was alerted by a girl that she reportedly received a video call and text messages from Joshua Cooper. The girl said that in an Instagram video chat, Cooper told her that he had killed someone. Cooper also sought help from the girl for disposing the body, the complaint said. When police arrived at Cooper's house in response to the report of the video chat, they observed a young guy sprinting out from the rear of the house who they suspect to be Cooper. Police found the 13-year-old victim inside the home with a "large caliber" gunshot wound to her chest, according to the complaint. The authorities said the girl's family later recognised the victim based on the jewellery she was wearing. Later, police found and apprehended Cooper. The complaint claims that the suspect was making "unsolicited utterances" as he was being taken into custody. Cooper was saying “sorry” and that he is “going to jail for the rest of his life.” However, Cooper was denied bail on several adult charges which includes criminal homicide. The 16 years old was sent to a juvenile detention centre, according to a police statement, reported CNN. According to the complaint, Cooper during an interview with detectives reportedly admitted to viewing a Netflix series with the victim in his house. The paper said that the suspect claimed to have been in a previous relationship with the victim. Additionally, according to the complaint, Cooper said that he had accessed his father's safe earlier that day and opened it by replacing the batteries that his father had taken out, rendering the combination lock unoperational. The document stated that he removed, rearranged, and replaced the weapons that were in the safe. Cooper and his mother reportedly "terminated" the investigators' interview with them before it was finished. According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, Cooper's next court date is December 7.
