A teenager filmed on Snapchat kicking a helpless pensioner into a freezing river has been jailed for 10 weeks. Benjamin Bridgeman, 19, booted the unsuspecting 74-year-old from behind as he paused during a walk along the River Mersey on April 25. He and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, could then be seen running away laughing after the attack. The elderly victim was only rescued from the water when two schoolgirls heard him screaming and formed a human chain to pull him out. Bridgeman, of Orford in Warrington, pleaded guilty to assault at the town’s magistrates’ court. District Judge Nicholas Sanders handed him a 10-week prison sentence and ordered him to pay the victim £500 in compensation. He said it was an ‘extremely serious offence’ and described the video as ‘frankly sickening’. The court heard the pensioner had been out for a walk at around 2.30pm on the Sunday afternoon when he was ‘pushed very hard from behind’. Footage of the attack was posted on the social media app with a series of laughing emojis. Prosecutor Angela Blackmore told the court the victim fell into the river ‘and banged his face on something’, adding: ‘He described…

(File Photo: Reuters) 3 min read . Updated: 12 Jun 2021, 06:02 PM IST Prasid Banerjee The government has sent multiple notices to Twitter and threatened to revoke the intermediary protection offered by Section 79 of India’s IT Act, which protects platforms for being sued for acts by its users NEW DELHI: Micro-blogging giant Twitter said it has “declined a number of orders" from the Indian government, which the company didn’t agree with, and thought were in violation of Indian and international law, targeting very particular journalists or activists, etc. "Those accounts and tweets, in many instances have remained on the platform," said Vijaya Gadde, chief legal officer at Twitter, adding that it’s a “very delicate balance to draw". She was speaking at the RightCon 2021 conference on 10 June. "From a purely legal perspective, litigation is one tool and it’s not always the best tool, it’s a very blunt tool. If you don’t know the outcome, you can be taking some pretty big risks with…

The England and Wales Cricket Board is to launch a "social media review" that could lead to widespread disciplinary action following the fall-out from Ollie Robinson's Twitter posts.The Sussex seamer was suspended from England duty pending an investigation after historic racist and sexist posts made in 2012 and 2013 re-emerged during his Test debut against New Zealand at Lord's last week.Since Robinson's posts re-emerged, the social media feeds of a number of internationals have been scrutinised, with an unnamed player found to have sent offensive tweets while under the age of 16.Meanwhile, the experienced England trio of James Anderson, Jos Buttler and limited overs captain Eoin Morgan have all faced accusations of publishing potentially offensive messages.The ECB board met Wednesday, when they decided to look into the issue in more detail, with a statement issued Saturday saying: "The board agreed to the executive's recommendation for a social media review to address any historical issues, remind individuals of their personal responsibilities going forward, and help them learn lessons along the way."The board was clear that this process would not prevent further disciplinary action in the future, should that be required, under the applicable processes, but it is hoped that the game…

You don't need to be living amid a global pandemic or ~unprecidented times~ to see the appeal of a virtual watch party. It's all the fun of a movie night with friends, except you don't have to leave the comfort of your own couch or bed, and all the snacks are yours for the monching. You're basically getting the best of both worlds, to quote the great philosopher Hannah Montana. Watching a movie together while apart was once a precarious dance of devices that involved linking up over a group text or Skype call while you all tried to press "Play" on "3, 2, 1" (and god forbid anyone needs a bathroom break). Not so much anymore, though. Several major streaming services rolled out group watch features in the thick of the COVID-19 restrictions that forced everyone to isolate indoors, and a handful of third-party tools with screensharing, video-syncing, and chat capabilities have picked up the slack for those that haven't. Soon you'll even be able to watch movies together on FaceTime thanks to a new watch party feature for Apple called SharePlay, which is coming to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey later this year.

Image Courtesy: Forbes Last year, Snapchat made it easier for users to learn Hindi, Kannada, and Marathi languages by introducing language learning lenses, and now they’ve expanded the languages by adding Bengali, Punjabi, and Telugu languages in the lenses as well. Image Courtesy: The Bharat Express News.  Snapchat leverages AR and Machine Learning Technology to discover the names of over 1,000 objects in multiple languages. Users are required to put the object in front of the Snapchat lenses to identify the name of the object in regional language.
