Snapchat’s AI tools are causing major headaches for law enforcement in the United States after kids have been using the latest “homeless” filter to create fake videos to scare people and pull pranks. The trend has grown so out of control that law enforcement have issued warnings asking people to stop pulling pranks using the filter and instead, find other content to create.  The filter has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. It essentially sees people use the Snapchat AI tool to create images of a dirty man in their home, and kids are sending these photos to their parents. The tool is quite versatile to the point where you can picture this dirty man sitting on your couch, or even lying in bed.  Of course, kids are then picturing themselves lying next to the man or perhaps sitting next to him in an overly friendly manner. Once created, these images are sent to parents, and the kids film the reactions and upload them to TikTok. Here, they garner millions of views as the parents obviously freak out about it.  However, the issue here is that parents have started calling the police regarding this “dirty man” in their homes.

Europe is asking tough questions, and the world’s biggest tech companies now have to answer. This week, the European Union called on Apple, Google, YouTube and Snapchat to prove they are protecting children online. It’s a defining test of the Digital Services Act (DSA), the law that is reshaping how the internet works across Europe. The call came from EU Tech Commissioner Henna Virkkunen, who confirmed that formal Requests for Information (RFIs) have been sent to each platform. They must now provide detailed proof of how they keep minors safe from harmful content and data misuse. Virkkunen said: “These measures are about accountability. When minors use online services, a very high level of privacy, security and safety must be ensured. That’s why we have the Digital Services Act in place.” Her words echoed a growing mood in Europe, a shift from guidance to enforcement. In Copenhagen, where EU ministers are meeting to sign the Jutland Declaration, the timing feels symbolic. Europe is moving together to create a digital space that values safety as much as innovation. A new phase for Europe’s internet rules The DSA is no longer theory, it’s action. At the centre of this push lies Article 28

Daily Mirror Icon News UK News Court case Sick David John Andrews admitted to 130 charges of sexual abuse during a trial last year after he was found to have lured young girls on Snapchat and Instagram while posing as a teen 14:28, 11 Oct 2025 Updated 14:31, 11 Oct 2025 A twisted paedophile who targeted dozens of children and carried out the "sickening abuse" of a disabled man has been denied his freedom. Judges have denied an appeal from David John Andrews, 56, a "heinous predator" found to have preyed on 47 victims - 46 of whom were children - to reduce a 27-year sentence he was handed last year. Andrews, from Northern Ireland, received the sentence after pleading guilty to 130 charges of sexual abuse. A court heard he posed as a 13-year-old to catfish young children. Lady Chief Justice Dame Siobhan Keegan described his offending as a "modern scourge of high seriousness directed at vulnerable children which requires punishment", adding the high sentence was warranted. Belfast Live reports that Andrews, whose offences stretched back to 2019, used Snapchat and Instagram to target underage girls, and lured them into sending him explicit images.

Dhaka, Oct. 11 -- The EU on Friday demanded tech giants Apple, Google, Snapchat and YouTube explain what steps they are taking to protect children online.
