Mr. Sajid Javid, home secretary of the UK will be taking measures to restrict the users of the UK from accessing Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter also if the social media platform fails to remove the content that is spreading terrorism, fake news, child abuse, sexual abuse will face removal from the search engines like google, bing, and Yahoo.

The UK government is taking these steps because of the terrorist attack that took place in Christchurch, New Zealand. The attacker name Brenton Tarrant went live on Facebook while shooting the locals and the people inside the mosque killed almost 50 Muslims, more than 4000 people watched it before it was taken down by Facebook millions of people around the world saw it on different social media sites like Twitter and Instagram.

The apps will not support the bubbles feature automatically so the developers of third-party apps (other than Google) like Facebook, Twitter, or any other productivity app will have to implement this feature in their apps.

Another new feature Android Q is packed with is Scraped Storage. Taking Apple’s privacy as an inspiration Google will follow the footsteps of iOS’s way of allocating a certain amount of storage space for each app. In this way, applications will have access to only their share of storage and won’t require permission for accessing the data. Therefore your photos, videos, and other files will be only accessed after your permission. This feature will also promote faster operations for each application.

With the new Android update, you will now have control over how long the applications will have access to your location. In current versions of android os applications either have full access or no access to your location but in Android Q you can set applications to access your location while in the foreground though some apps may still have access to your location while your display is turned off.

Other features include the complete dark mode which is system-level dark mode which can be tested by enabling battery saver mode for now as there’s no individual option to test this feature for now.

Apps that require access to a specific feature like Bluetooth, wifi, etc will bring up the menu automatically so you won’t have to go to the settings menu. You will also be able to see the estimated battery life on the status bar beside the battery logo.

As of now, Android Q is currently available for pixel users only (including the 1st gen pixel users), and according to Google, the beta version contains a lot of bugs like apps accessing your photos, videos and other files that are yet to be fixed so if you are an android lover and your pixel device is not your primary device enroll for the beta program and wait for the notification of the OTA update. The next release that is Android Q beta 3 is expected to roll out on May 7th.

Mr. Alex Jones is currently banned from YouTube for violating the site’s policy on abusive behavior. He also is banned from many other social platforms for breaching conditions governing such conduct.

Alex Jones: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Alex Jones Show. Today, we have a very special guest joining us, none other than Logan Paul. Logan has been in the news quite a bit lately, and we wanted to bring him on to discuss some of the controversies and negative comments surrounding him. Logan, welcome to the show.

Logan Paul: Thanks, Alex. Glad to be here.

Alex Jones: Logan, let’s get right into it. You’ve faced a lot of criticism in recent years, particularly surrounding some of your YouTube videos and your public persona. How do you respond to all these negative comments?

Logan Paul: Well, Alex, it’s definitely been a challenging journey. I’ve made some mistakes in the past, and I’ve faced a lot of backlash because of it. But I believe in personal growth and learning from those mistakes. I’ve taken steps to educate myself and make amends for my actions.

The Hope Not Hate campaign said:

It was a blunder for Mr. Paul to give a platform to an extremist. Well, the two-hour chat with Mr. Jones features on the Logan Paul podcast channel, currently has about 1.4 million subscribers, many of whom happen to be teens and 20s.

Legal action

While being interviewed, Mr. Paul giggles with Mr. Jones about his widely contested views, at one point going along with Mr. Jones’s claim that former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was crazy.

For that matter, Mr. Paul does challenge Mr. Jones, who is being sued for defamation by parents of children killed during the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, on his views on the massacre, saying his view of it as a falsification could become something terrible.

Joe Mulhall [[Senior Researcher at Hope Not Hate]

Joe criticized the decision to record and air the talk. Paul might have given a platform to an extremist simply to generate more views and appears to have mimicked his guest as amusement. Also, Paul described Jones as a far-right collusion theorist but still decided to have him on his show.

This leaves us with the thought that he knew what he was doing and seemingly didn’t seem to care much.
The show has targeted a new and younger audience.

Ban from Social platform

As you observe it carefully, the interview sets to add significant views as Mr. Paul has more than four million followers on Twitter, where the chat was previewed.

Moreover, 19 million people subscribe to Mr. Paul’s main YouTube channel. Also, Mr. Paul and YouTube ought to respond to questions for comment about the interview.

Starting from with the list, Twitter has permanently banned Mr. Jones and his InfoWars channel for regularly violating its terms and conditions, followed by Facebook, Apple, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
And Paypal has also denied processing payments on behalf of InfoWars.

CEO Dorsey applauded the company’s AI for helping them to tackle terrorism over the platform efficiently.

Twitter VP, told that the dropping number is because the number of organizations or individuals using Twitter is reducing year on year due to the company’s regulations and policies.

Twitter received an account information request from 86 countries where the US comprises only 30 percent of global government information requests and 35 percent of all global accounts specified in the same category while the second highest volume of information requests was submitted by Japan with 24% of the total requests.

Twitter is rolling out features to tackle serious issues from 2013 itself. To help in these serious Twitter introduced the “report abuse” button in 2013 where people could manually report ‘abusive’ tweets.

Terrorism is just spreading out like wildfire and this is a great step to fight it efficiently.

Apple has included an extra spring up screen where clients can affirm that they need to pay for repeating application memberships. When clients download applications that require memberships or tap on the in-application membership alternatives, the spring up will appear after the underlying Face ID or Touch ID affirmation screen.

The “Affirm Subscription” menu discloses to clients that the membership will proceed with except if they drop in Settings. It’s valuable data to know, particularly since most applications draw clients by offering free preliminaries, and clients might be uninformed that their cards are as yet being charged after the preliminary finishes. The element was first spotted by designer David Barnard on Twitter.

The update is a piece of Apple’s continuous exertion to make in-application installment alternatives increasingly straightforward. In January, the organization started requiring application memberships to demonstrate the full expense to clients before information exchange to take action against deceiving in-application memberships.

The component will likewise be helpful for eliminating tricks for Touch ID telephones, where an inadvertent tap of the home catch could trigger a unique mark-sweep to affirm buys. Some wellness applications have been deceiving clients into making in-application buys while getting their unique mark checks for “wellness following information.” The new spring up screen can fill in as an additional layer of insurance against awful on-screen characters.

As the number of users is increasing, more business ideas and options are being created on Twitter, and that all lead to spam. Combating with spam is not an easy job because they find new ways of spamming when a company tries finding solutions.

Twitter has cut down the number of accounts you can follow per day to 400. It is a huge drop from the previous cap which is of 1000 accounts. That means, earlier you could follow 1000 accounts a day but now, you cannot follow more than 400 accounts a day.

One of the  Twitter spokespersons stated, “As a part of our commitment to building a healthy service, we remain focused on stopping spam and abuse on Twitter.”

What Twitter has done is right because there are spammers who do follow a huge number of accounts per day to get followed, and once they get followed, they start unfollowing others which is unethical. They do it to spam!

So, we respect Twitter’s decision of cutting down the numbers.
