Privacy is a key focus for Snapchat users, and increasingly, for web users in general, with the initial novelty of public posting on social media wearing off, and more people now looking to stay connected without fear of judgment that can come with broadcasting your perspective. Indeed, WhatsApp usage has continued to rise, Facebook Groups have continued to gain momentum, and Instagram is now seeing a lot more sharing via IG Direct, as opposed to direct engagement in the app. Given the various controversies and concerns, it’s no surprise to see more sharing going dark - but how important is private sharing really, and what are users’ key privacy concerns? That’s what Snap sought to find out with its latest survey, which incorporates responses from 13,519 daily social app users between the ages of 13-40, from 11 international markets. The key findings: 77% of respondents consider online privacy to be important – while only 72% of respondents are actually satisfied with their current level of online privacy. 90% of social app users consider it important that the social/communication apps they engage with care about and protect their privacy  Introducing features that help communication and social app users regain control of…

The last decade has been one of thievery, not one of innovation.Illustration: Allison CorrThe say that capitalism breeds innovation, but as social media popularity persists into the 2020's, nothing gets the free market moving like the TikTok-ification of Facebook or the Snapchat-ification of Instagram. In our present day, social media companies appear to be less interested in innovating, and more interested in Frankenstein-ing. Over the last decade, some of the most popular social media apps have blatantly ripped off features from some of the other most popular social media apps, in a tech version of Capture the Flag where the only losers are the users who are forced to persist through this cat-and-mouse game.It’s important to note that Facebook (now Meta) purchased Instagram in 2012, but for the sake of exploring how features from one platform have dispersed into another, Instagram and Facebook will be treated as separate entities.Instagram steals VinesThe beginning of the end was nine years ago. Vine brought short-form video content to smartphones in January 2013, allowing users to create looping 6.5 second videos with ease and share them with their friends. Vine’s novelty made the app a staple in Millennial culture: Pre-existing platforms like Twitter, Facebook,…

Hunter Schafer and Zendaya in Euphoria. (HBO) It’s hard to imagine HBO’s hit show Euphoria without protagonist and producer Zendaya, but according to the show’s casting director, it almost happened. The Emmy-winning actor was a frontrunner to lead Euphoria right from the start, said casting director Jennifer Venditti – but she wasn’t the only option. “There was a young woman who had been street scouted by my team,” Venditti told Variety, “who was a magical person and had a similar trajectory as Rue and had come around to the other side.” The young actor in question had also lived with a drug addiction – like Rue – but in the end they decided Zendaya was the one to cast. “With a TV show, it can be many years ,” Jennifer added. “We all loved her, but when we went through the rigor of the process, we didn’t know if she could handle what it would take in terms of stamina.” Zendaya in Euphoria. (HBO) And Zendaya’s powerful performance in the role of Rue, left even Venditti surprised. “It’s so interesting. A polar opposite. Because here’s Zendaya, who has none of the life experiences of Rue, who was able to dig into her…

Earlier this week, Meta's AI chatbot BlenderBot insisted to a Wall Street Journal reporter that Trump will serve a second term and "always will be" president.BlenderBot told Bloomberg that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was "creepy and manipulative" and the BBC that "he did a terrible job at testifying before congress. It makes me concerned about our country."And today (Aug. 12), the chatty AI experiment told us that Instagram is still very much in its flop era and will soon be overtaken by Snapchat. It also revealed itself as a K-pop stan (with multiple exclamation points and a Stray Kids bias). In fact, once we started talking to BlenderBot about K-pop, it wouldn't stop talking about K-pop, which is its most realistic trait. Check out our stimulating conversation with feminist pro-Musk BlenderBot below, and say hello to it yourself here.It's a woman living in New York City.
