Demi Lovato chose Google's (GOOGL) YouTube as the official home for her four-part docuseries, "Dancing with the Devil." It details the singer's near-fatal overdose in 2018, and the turbulent events that led to it.The bombshell documentary follows a similar path as Justin Bieber's "Seasons," Paris Hilton's "This is Paris," and Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman Diaries," which also aired on the video-sharing platform.In 2017, YouTube released "Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated," a documentary about Lovato's life and career.But with traditional streamers from Netflix (NFLX) to Hulu (DIS) sinking their teeth into celebrity-focused programming, including "Surviving R. Kelly," “Framing Britney Spears," “Leaving Neverland" and "Operation Varsity Blues," YouTube seems like a dark horse candidate for such a high-profile offering.Or is it?"YouTube has billions and billions of viewers," Morningstar analyst Ali Mogharabi told Yahoo Finance. He added that although some YouTube Originals require a premium subscription, the platform "can help more aggressively promote some of the other things they may have in mind for the future such as attracting more subscribers to their own specific channels."Currently, nearly 17 million people subscribe to Lovato's YouTube channel. According to the company, over 2 billion logged-in users visit the YouTube platform each month, with visitors consuming…

By BARBARA ORTUTAY | March 23, 2021 at 7:03 AM EDT - Updated March 23 at 11:54 AM (AP) – A new outside report found that Facebook has allowed groups — many tied to QAnon, boogaloo and militia movements — to glorify violence during the 2020 election and in the weeks leading up to the deadly riots on the U.S. Capitol in January. Avaaz, a nonprofit advocacy group that says it seeks to protect democracies from misinformation, identified 267 pages and groups on Facebook that it says spread violence-glorifying material in the heat of the 2020 election to a combined following of 32 million users. More than two-thirds of the groups and pages had names that aligned with several domestic extremist movements, the report found. The first, boogaloo, promotes a second U.S. civil war and the breakdown of modern society. The second is the QAnon conspiracy, which claims that Donald Trump is waging a secret battle against the “deep state” and a sect of powerful Satan-worshipping pedophiles who dominate Hollywood, big business, the media and government.  » Read More

Misleading consumers is illegal under French law and companies face fines of up to 10% of their annual sales if found in violation. The suit filed with prosecutors in Paris on Monday argues that Facebook (FB) has engaged in "deceptive commercial practices" by allowing disinformation and threats to flourish despite promising users that it will "exercise professional diligence" to create "a safe, secure and error-free environment." The group, which is based in Paris and also known by its French initials RSF, said in a statement that the promises made in Facebook's terms and conditions are "largely mendacious" and contradicted by "the large-scale dissemination of hate speech and false information on its networks."To support its claims,  » Read More

The safety of its users is of paramount importance to Instagram. The app is putting more tools in place to protect teenagers on the platform. As we cannot always guarantee the person behind the screen is the person we think it is, Instagram’s new safety feature is set to prevent adults from messaging teens. New AI tools will identify ‘suspicious’ adults, notifying them that messaging a user under 18 is prohibited. Although the minimum age to sign up for an Instagram account is thirteen, the team behind the app are aware that there are cases of people who are younger than 13 lying about their age in order to set up a profile. AI features will also work to address this challenge. The new restrictions put in place will prevent adults from sending messages to people under the age of 18 who don’t follow them. The adult will receive an automated message addressing that this action isn’t possible. If the adult and the person under the age of 18 are following one another, messages can still be exchanged, as the Instagram team are aware that young users will be connected with older family and friends.  Urging teens to be more…
