Screengrab from Instagram video&nbsp In a horrific incident, an Instagram beauty blogger, on Wednesday, was attacked by a Zomato delivery guy. Hitesha Chandranee took to her Instagram account to explain her ordeal and shared a video in which she could be seen bleeding from her nose.

DEAR ABBY: A few weeks ago, my 14-year-old sister snuck out and had sex with a boy she met on Snapchat. I know this because my distraught mother decided to tell me. My sister lied to my parents repeatedly about it, but later, when they went through her phone, they found explicit images that a girl her age should never have. Furthermore, after they confiscated her phone, she acquired a new one from a friend and continues to message boys through Snapchat. She continues to lie to my parents when they ask her if she’s communicating with anyone. She has been hanging around a toxic group of girls at school, and she’s very impressionable. She isn’t a bad person, but all this lying has left me confused and upset. What can I do to help her? — HER WORRIED BROTHER IN GEORGIA DEAR BROTHER: The age of consent in Georgia is 16. Do your parents know the identity and age of the person your sister met on Snapchat? The inappropriate pictures your parents discovered on her phone could be considered child pornography, and there are laws against it. It’s very important that your sister understand how dangerous what she has…

Facebook is expected to release its first smart glasses product later this year, but the company also has an eye on your wrist for creating a proper augmented reality (AR) experience – and it's one that doesn't involve an iPhone.Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google all have widely available hardware, but Facebook's Portal didn't hit its stride until the pandemic, unlike existing hits such as Amazon's Echo smart speakers, Microsoft's Surface laptops, Google's Pixel phones, and the iPhone. Facebook does have Oculus virtual reality headsets, though – and now the social networking company is exploring the idea of glasses synced-up with a wrist-borne device.SEE: Virtual hiring tips for job seekers and recruiters (free PDF) (TechRepublic)According to Facebook, you'd be less distracted than smartphone users by this future technology, which exploits the company's advances in artificial intelligence (AI) fields such as computer vision and natural language processing.  "Imagine a world where a lightweight, stylish pair of glasses could replace your need for a computer or smartphone," the company says in a new blogpost.  » Read More

A Snapchat filter that virtually removes one's beard is trending on TikTok with people posting their reactions—and their partner's reactions—to a clean shave.Although the trend is popular on TikTok, the videos themselves are recorded on Snapchat first, and then exported.The videos typically involve someone placing a hand over their mouth so that the filter does not immediately activate.Then, as the person removes their hand, the filter erases their beard to show what the person might look like if they were clean-shaven. Sometimes it works better than others. How to get the no beard filterTo use the filter, head to Snapchat and open the app in front-facing camera mode.Then, tap and hold on your face until the filter selection comes up near the bottom of the screen.The app may not immediately show up on the filter selection, so tap "Explore" on the bottom right, which is Snapchat's filter search feature.Then, type "no beard" and select one of the filters that works best. Newsweek found one by author Andre Pappas that appears to work in the same way as those in popular TikTok videos.Users may also come across a filter published by Snapchat called "Remove Beard," but this only takes still photos…

Nothing to see here, just cleaning up. Image: Malte Mueller / getty By Jack Morse2021-03-09 23:24:22 UTC Dispo's privacy policy is apparently still developing.  The hot new photo app, which has raised $20 million in Series A funding, attempts to breathe life into social image sharing by adapting the aesthetic of disposable cameras. On Tuesday, Dispo shed its invite-only skin and opened up to the wider public — quietly, and without notice, updating its privacy policy in the background.  The app's privacy includes a section titled "Information automatically collected," which details numerous types of data collection done by the app. On the afternoon of March 5, that section of the policy explained that Dispo collects location data.  "We collect location data such as information about your device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise," the policy, a screenshot of which is embedded below, explained. "How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the App." As of March 5.  » Read More

9 Mar 2021 Serena Barker Singh takes us through the corridors of Clubhouse – and asks whether this is an app that really is like no other – or whether it’s got all the baggage of its social media ancestors. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thefourcast/210309_Clubhouse_Mix_-_2145.mp3There’s a brand new app in town making waves and changing the way we chat with one another.  An app where all the topics on the tip of your tongue are discussed by people from around the world – all live, all audio, like live podcasts with no limits. But there’s the catch: if this world gives you free flowing live chat, where are the controls and where are the limits? As Clubhouse rises in popularity, so too rises a darker side around privacy, harassment, racism, misogyny, misinformation. These are the age-old problems of social media – so why has this app not learnt the lessons? Today, Serena Barker Singh, takes us through the corridors of Clubhouse – and asks whether this is an app that really is like no other – or whether it’s got all the baggage of its social media ancestors.  » Read More
