From Twitch scares to big-screen horror | The Express Tribune

Inde Navarrette is experiencing an unusual kind of double spotlight, where a breakthrough Hollywood moment is being matched by a sudden rediscovery of her earlier life online, as fans revisit her gaming past following the success of 'Obsession'. The Blumhouse horror, in which Navarrette plays a central role, has crossed $200 million worldwide, transforming her into one of the film's most discussed breakout performers across social media and entertainment circles. As interest surged, viewers began unearthing her Twitch history, where she once streamed gameplay sessions to more than 50,000 followers, often playing titles such as 'Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War' while wearing a Nintendo Toad hat. Clips circulating online also show her engaging with horror games and interacting casually with fans, a contrast many viewers have found striking given her current role in a film built on psychological dread and escalating fear. The resurgence has been amplified by fan accounts sharing longer archived sessions, including a nearly five-hour playthrough of 'The Last of Us', which has drawn renewed attention for its early glimpse into her screen presence and personality. In 'Obsession', Navarrette stars opposite Michael Johnston in a story about a cursed wish that spirals into dangerous fixation

FrameRate Releases Free Desktop App | LBBOnline

FrameRate has released FrameRate Migrator, a free desktop application that gives creators a simple way to download their complete Vimeo library to their own computer. The app is available now for Mac, with Windows support coming soon. Migrator connects directly to a user's Vimeo account and pulls in their full video library. Users can select which videos to download or take everything at once. Each video is saved at the highest available quality, and all metadata, titles, descriptions, tags, and privacy settings are preserved automatically alongside the files. Downloads run in the background, so users can keep working while the app does its thing. "Getting your videos out of Vimeo is harder than it should be," said Justin Cone , co-founder at FrameRate. "We wanted to build something that made the process painless. Download everything, keep it on your hard drive, and decide what to do with it later. People should be able to have their own work on their own terms." The release comes at a moment of uncertainty for Vimeo's creative community. Since Bending Spoons acquired the platform in late 2025, many filmmakers, motion designers and animators have been looking for a way to secure their libraries, but

Five big questions about the UK’s under-16s social media ban – BBC

1 hour ago Liv McMahon & Philippa Wain Technology reporters Getty Images However, details on which apps are and are not included, besides those named by the government, and how the measures will extend to gaming sites like Roblox, remain sparse. And many are already asking whether enforcing the ban will mean cracking down on virtual private networks (VPNs), which can disguise someone's location online. Ministers have said they will provide an update on further restrictions like potential curfews, curbing of "addictive" features like infinite scroll and AI chatbots, in July. But here are some of the big unanswered questions about the UK social media ban. 1. What does it mean for Roblox and other gaming sites? The government has only specified a handful of sites included in the UK's social media ban. These are Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X. However, it says its restrictions will closely follow Australia's - where the above apps plus Kick, Reddit, Threads and Twitch are banned for under-16s. So where does that leave Roblox and gaming sites like it? Roblox is hugely popular with children in the UK, but it has been accused of failing to keep them safe - including allegations

Britain announces sweeping social media ban for under-16s – USA Today

Updated June 15, 2026, 12:39 p.m. ET LONDON ‒ British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on June 15 he would ban social media sites for children under the age of 16 and impose restrictions on gaming and live-streaming platforms, in a fightback against big tech that goes further than any other country. The sweeping changes will "give kids their childhood back," Starmer said, outlining measures against platforms including Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, as well as gaming sites that allow strangers to communicate with children. "It is clear to me a full ban is the right choice," he told a press conference. "It will make a huge difference, it will make our children safer, it will make our children happier, it will give them more time, more security, more freedom to grow up, more opportunity". Britain will use a similar model to Australia, which enacted a ban last December, the government said. It will cover platforms that also include YouTube, Facebook and X, but messaging services such as WhatsApp and Signal will not be included in the ban. Britain will also introduce "world-leading blocks" on harmful functions such as live streaming and stranger communication with children under 16. "Is there a situation
