Instagram has defeated a suit from users who say their embed feature flouts copyright laws by allowing third party websites display videos and images without a license. Two photographers in May sued Instagram on behalf users who uploaded content to the app that was later embedded elsewhere without permission. Alexis Hunley and Matthew Brauer argue that Instagram’s embed feature lets third parties display content without licensing it and therefore the app is secondarily liable for enabling their copyright infringement. Instagram in July filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, arguing that because embedding “is not direct copyright infringement” no one can be secondarily liable for enabling it. The social media app argued that not only do users agree to terms of use that gives Instagram “a nonexclusive license to publicly reproduce and display the content the user uploads and posts to their account,” but the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has established a “server test” under which a company can only be liable for copyright infringement if it “hosts and transmits” the material. Instagram argues it hosts and transmits the content but can’t be liable for directly infringing copyrights because it has a license — and, because third parties…

OAKLAND — Ten current or former Oakland police officers were found to have been involved with an Instagram account that featured racist, misogynists posts or violated department policies in other ways online, according to an announcement from the city. Investigations by a third-party investigation firm and by Oakland’s Community Police Review Agency found that the officers who were found to have violated a variety of department policies ranged in rank from officer to Lieutenant. The discipline imposed on them ranged from a three-day unpaid suspension to a 25-day unpaid suspension, according to a news release from the office of Mayor Libby Schaaf. “Sexist and racist behaviors are far too prevalent in our culture and have no place in our public safety institutions,” Schaaf said in a written statement. “I wholeheartedly and strongly condemn any behavior, including online communications, that supports or engages with sexist or racist tropes.” The Instagram account, which was named “@crimereductionteam” — the name of a specific Oakland Police Department entity — posted multiple memes and captions that mocked efforts to curb police brutality. The investigation determined that the offensive account was created by a former Oakland police officer shortly after he had been fired for violating…

Most of the videos showing the attacks on police stations across the country during last year’s #EndSARS protests were downloaded from the internet, Oludotun Odubona, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, told the Lagos Judicial Panel of Enquiry on Friday. Mr Odubona, who represented Hakeem Odumosu, the state’s police commissioner, disclosed this while being cross-examined by Adesina Ogunlana and Oluwatomi Olagunju, counsels to the #EndSARS protesters. Mr Odubona had earlier presented several videos to the panel explaining how police officers were attacked and the activities of #EndSARS protesters. “You have brought several videos before the panel. Can you tell us your source?” Mr Olagunju asked. “Like I mentioned it before, a lot of the videos were taken from the internet,” the assistant police commissioner replied. When asked whether the police relied on the description given to them by the people who posted them on the internet, Mr Odubona said there were landmarks and other pointers that helped the police to identify the locations. Mr Olagunju said some of the videos had no bearing or connection to the protests of October 2020, yet, the police presented them as evidence for the #EndSARS protests. In a video played by the #EndSARS counsel, he…

When mentioning developers of some of the biggest video games in the world we hear the usual names: Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc. However, nobody ever mentions Zynga, which is unfortunate because they are the developers of some of the most popular games ever, including Farmville. Yes, they’re the ones responsible for everyone sending you requests to go visit their farm on Facebook all those years ago, but while the notifications may have annoyed some, they were great for others. Farmville was a delightful, albeit addictive, game that brought many people into the world of gaming. This is why it should come as no surprise to see that Snapchat, seeking out a game of their own, has decided to enlist Zynga’s help to develop a game that is going to be something like an Among Us clone called ReVamp. However, unlike when Fortnite attempted their own Among Us clone, this one actually feels kind of original. It also appears that, while it’s definitely taking inspiration from the hit party game, they’re more going back to the roots of the game concept entirely using Vampires as the enemy. A traditional Halloween-style villain that’s killing others and trying to lie their…

Kara SwisherSept. 17, 2021, 5:59 p.m. ETCredit...Arsh Raziuddin, The New York TimesIn March of 2018, I interviewed Marc Benioff, the chief executive of Salesforce, at the top of the company’s San Francisco tower. He offered up an astonishing metaphor when I asked him for his take on the impact of social media companies.“Facebook is the new cigarettes,” Benioff said. “It’s addictive. It’s not good for you.” As it did with cigarette companies, “the government needs to step in,” he added.” The government needs to really regulate what’s happening.”At the time, I thought it was a flashy reach by an executive who often went out on verbal limbs to make brazen points. But today, after the latest series of investigations into the sketchy acts of the social media giant, Benioff seems like Nostradamus.In the past weeks, The Wall Street Journal published “The Facebook Files” — well reported pieces that rely on whistle-blowers who are now just tossing incriminating documents over the wall at a furious pace.  » Read More

AN amputee Army veteran is relying on YouTube to treat himself after he was denied a face-to-face appointment with his GP. Ben Elton, 54, was in agony with a ruptured tendon in his only leg. 1Amputee Ben Elton had to resort to YouTube medical advice after failing to get a GP appointmentCredit: MEN Media But the Gulf War veteran, who served for 23 years, was told he would get only an online appointment — and was left waiting for help for nearly two months in agony. He tried to see a GP on May 6 but had to wait until May 30 for a call from the doctor, who made him an online appointment with a physio. He finally got a physiotherapist call on June 21 but was told to find exercises on an NHS website. Mr Elton, a former Regimental Sergeant Major, from Hull, said: “No appointments, no face to face, then asking us to research our symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. “Enough is enough. Most of the physio I’ve been doing has been as a result of me doing my own research on YouTube.” It comes after a poll revealed half of GPs do not expect to offer face-to-face…
