End of Facebook Live Streaming? Facebook admits it can not control Facebook Live

End of Facebook Live Streaming? Facebook admits it can not control Facebook Live Facebook live streaming is in hot waters after Christchurch brutal terrorist attack at the mosque that killed fifty innocent Muslims offering Friday prayers. I wrote an article few hours after the incident voicing my opinion that  Facebook Live Stream  should be a facility for  verified profiles  and closed groups only. NewZealand sought answers from  Facebook over  livestreamed massacre and now after a lot of pressure, Facebook admits, it can not control Facebook live. There is too much content in general to train  A.I (artificial intelligence)  to control a certain content. Relying on online users to report an inappropriate content is clearly not the solution now as the incident in NewZealand was live streamed for 20 minutes and no one reported it. Although Christchurch incident has raised the awareness about the issues with the live stream, there have been many unfortunate incidents stream

Facebook bans white nationalism on its platforms

Facebook bans white nationalism on its platforms The recent New Zealand killings have clearly demonstrated the global reach of a white nationalist movement that preaches others regarding an imaginary European ideal. This is the movement that rejects immigration and is known to share vicious threat over the internet through social media. According to analysts, this movement has a huge following in the US, Canada, Europe, and Russia. For this purpose, Facebook has banned any kind of praise, support, and representation of white nationalism as well as white separatism on its platforms including Instagram. In on Wednesday, the social media giant stated that the policy will begin next week.

ZapBuddy Finally Launches on Android & that is great news for Privacy Conscious Users

ZapBuddy Finally Launches on Android & that is great news for Privacy Conscious Users It has been almost a year since we covered the upcoming chat startup. We liked it for a number of reasons mainly because there hasn’t been something new and good in the highly competitive world of chat apps. The world of Chat Apps has been a very limited one with many new entrants failing to make an impact and rise up to the big players. This startup felt one of the best challenger to the mainstream apps, and that is a feat that very few apps have achieved so far. We really liked it and were impressed by the hard work done by the team, given the fact they were working with jobs with the team divided between Melbourne and Islamabad. It was an extraordinary story and it was exciting to see the next garage success story happening before us. How a small team manages to work between different countries and jobs yet still strives to work on new features is truly amazing. The most exciting
