Shark Week, which debuted in 1988 as a week of programming on the Discovery Channel dedicated to the titular predatory fish, has grown into a cultural beast of its own.At Next Reality, we can think of no better way to commemorate the week than to try out some shark-themed AR Lenses via Snapchat. Searching for "shark" in Lens Explorer returns no shortage of options, but these separate themselves from the pack (or shiver, as that is what a group of sharks is called)...Don't Miss: AR Snapshots: Snapchat Lens Shows Us What Our Fav Live-Action Movies Would Look Like from Pixar Animation Look Cool While Swimming with Virtual SharksShark Week is Discovery Channel's thing, so, of course, it has created its own Lens to commemorate the occasion.The Shark Week Lens uses background segmentation to replace your background with an ocean scene, with an ocean overlay with virtual sharks in the foreground to create the illusion that you're treading water at sea.

For those of you who follow @jimmypanos accounts on various social media networks you know about his stances politically. Snapchat apparently also knows though many question why? If you were on Panos’s mailing list you’d see that these updates were targeted to his followers and many times sent privately. So what are we saying? This could be the absolute proof we needed to confirm Big Tech is in fact spying on its users. When you search for Panos’s account it doesn’t even come up. It has been permanently banned from the platform. When you try to make a new account with the username it’s marked as unavailable. What caused this to happen? The last Snap from the account was about why Panos was not able to be vaccinated due to his recent cancer treatment through chemotherapy and that people in similar situations should consult their doctor first. Seems reasonable to me however to Snapchat this was flagged as disinformation and against their community guidelines. Panos was not the only one deplatformed. If you go to the recent reviews in the app stores there are dozens of people complaining about the same issue. If you go to their Twitter profile there…

Photo for representation only. — File photo New Delhi, July 15 WhatsApp banned two million Indian accounts while it received 345 grievance reports between May 15 and June 15, the company said in its maiden monthly compliance report as mandated by the IT rules. The new IT rules require large digital platforms—with over five million users—to publish compliance reports every month, mentioning the details of complaints received and action taken. "Our top focus is preventing accounts from sending harmful or unwanted messages at scale. We maintain advanced capabilities to identify these accounts sending a high or abnormal rate of messages and banned two million accounts in India alone from May 15-June 15 attempting this kind of abuse," WhatsApp said on Thursday. WhatsApp clarified that more than 95 per cent of such bans are due to the unauthorised use of automated or bulk messaging (spam). "We expect to publish subsequent editions of the report 30-45 days after the reporting period to allow sufficient time for data collection and validation," WhatsApp said in the report. The Facebook-owned company explained that the number of accounts banned have risen significantly since 2019 as the sophistication of systems has increased, and "so we are catching…

Time and time again, there have been issues regarding influencers and Twitch streamers to promote and hype up a product. The most recent example can be the whole cryptocurrency scam, of which the influencers and streamers from the FaZe Clan played a major part.Amidst the whole "pump and dump" scheme and controversy going on, another Twitch streamer has come under the limelight with her promotion of an Android phone. It may not be on the same level as that of the FaZe crypto scam, but Twitch streamer Neekolul has become the target of trolls for her recent promotion.Neekolul is a popular streamer, and this is not the first time she has gotten stuck on the wrong side of fame.

1) Last week, we lost Paul Mariner. The striker made his name playing in Bobby Robson’s brilliant Ipswich Town team of the late-70s and early-80s – here they are beating Arsenal to win the 1978 FA Cup final, here he is discussing his memories of that day, and here’s the win over AZ Alkmaar which clinched the 1981 Uefa Cup. Mariner also contested that year’s goal-of-the-season competition, all of which is worth your time, but here’s his entry; here’s a hat-trick he scored in a 6-0 win over Manchester United, a game in which Town also missed three penalties; here’s a goal against Hungary that qualified England for the 1982 World Cup; here’s his winner in the 1982 Rous Cup match; and here’s a career tribute.2) There’s little better than sporting needle, brought in liberal quantities by Alja Tomljanovic and Jelena Ostapenko when they met in Wimbledon’s third round. Here are the pleasantries in full.3) Though cricket sees more sixes than ever before, it’s not often one goes into the top deck of the Lord’s pavilion.
