The Junta de Andalucía had to face a situation that has been repeated countless times during the pandemic: the hoaxes on WhatsApp that alter the order. 2,000 older adults were scheduled to obtain the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Los Bermejales during Holy Thursday. However, a false news that was spread through WhatsApp caused many more people to attend than expected. According to the information of the aforementioned body, between 4,000 and 5,000 additional people they were presented to the sports center of the Sports Activities Service of the University of Seville. Those who were not cited arrived because, according to the information they received through WhatsApp, it was possible to obtain the vaccine without an appointment. Obviously, it was not possible to attend them because they did not comply with the official protocol. The biggest problem, however, is that the people named were also harmed by the WhatsApp hoax. Hundreds of them had to wait in the endless line of people despite having an appointment. In addition, the great agglomeration gave rise to moments of confusion and tension; Some were upset at not making their appointment effective, while the more than 4,000 deceived found out about the…

Publish dateApril 01, 2021The 2021 National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) season came to a close this past Saturday as the Boston Pride claimed its second Isobel Cup in franchise history.

In the clip in question, Smashgodxxx turns his camera away, a door is slammed, and a clear slap-like sound is heard. SmashGodxXx denies the accusations and has tried to downplay the situation, claiming that nothing happened and laying blame at the feet of his his girlfriend. SmashGodxXx claims that if she wants to “act up for content, or whatever it may be, and she wants to cost my life for this and my job, that’s on her.” Though an uncomfortable watch, the whole 16-minute VOD is here.

SmashGodxXx removed the original vod and clips, but Streamable has made the full VOD and clips available to be viewed.

Interactive platform to elicit suggestions File photo for representation.   Interactive platform to elicit suggestions Widely perceived to have ceded ground to its opponents on the social media till recently, the Congress-led United Democratic Front seems to have come with a winner, albeit belatedly for the forthcoming Assembly election, going by the response to its WhatsApp-based interactive platform to reach out to the electorate and elicit suggestions from them.A brainchild of the All India Professionals' Congress (AIPC) and backed by Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala and Shashi Tharoor, MP, the platform evoked such a great response within a short span of time since its launch on Thursday so much so that its server in Karnataka was in danger of crashing.“It was designed and customised in a month by a software company that has already been using its basic version for business development. We went for it as there was no simpler way to reach out to the public. Plans are now afoot to use it beyond the State Assembly elections with an impressed All India Congress Committee exploring the scope for adapting it nationally,” said Anand Mohanraj, Pathanamthitta district president of the AIPC, who has been tirelessly working on…
