WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two regional congressmen have introduced a bipartisan bill which would begin tracking when the internet, and especially social media outlets, are used in illegal activity.The bill, sponsored by Democrat Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican from Pennsylvania, requires the FBI to include a check-off box on crime reports submitted by local law enforcement which will show that the internet was somehow involved in the crime being reported.The two lawmakers held a joint news conference on Thursday which included Dr. Laura Berman and Samuel Chapman, parents of Sammy Chapman, a 16-year-old who purchased drugs over a Snapchat connection. The drugs were laced with fentanyl and led to his death.Known as CHATS, "Combating Harmful Actions with Transparency on Social" act, the bill would require the U.S. Attorney General, working with the FBI, to set up standards for local police to include social media involvement in any crimes.The proposed law, which has support from the National Fraternal Order of Police, directs the FBI and Justice Department to collect and report on data on crimes involving social media.Of interest:NJ getting $641M to fight the opioid epidemic.

. 6 months agoStreaming star Ludwig ‘Ludwig’ Ahgren has revealed the story behind his exit from Snapchat as he may have had a bit of a bizarre reason for leaving.  No matter if you’re big from Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, or another platform, fans are desperate to know the ins and outs of a content creator’s life. That includes their backstory and what they did beforehand.

Snapchat is taking a step outside your smartphones and is landing right on the web. The platform is bringing in features like chatting, video calling, and even snapping to the desktop via a new web app. This is also the first time Snapchat has stepped out of smartphones. Snapchat for Web can be logged in via the same credentials you use on your Snapchat account on the smartphone and use the web platform to send private messages to friends and also call them. However, it appears that Snapchat for Web might see a phased rollout because initially it is going to be available to Snapchat Plus subscribers only. Snap launched this paid tier for the platform in June this year and this is the first exclusive feature that is coming to the subscribers. Snapchat Plus subscribers in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will get access to Snapchat for Web first. Additionally, Snapchat for Web is only compatible with Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari browser. While Snapchat is supposed to be a “visual-first” messaging app, the platform’s head of messaging product Nathan Boyd explained that a web version of the app makes sense because users are on…

Snap just announced Snapchat for Web, a new way to stay in touch with friends while using a computer. Using Snapchat in a browser is surprisingly similar to how it works with the mobile app, yet Snap takes advantage of the larger screen to show a list of friends in a sidebar at the left. Both chats and video calls are available as early access features to paid Snapchat+ subscribers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Eventually, the ability to use Snapchat from a computer will roll out to all Snapchatters, worldwide. To use Snapchat for Web, you need Google’s Chrome browser and it’s best to update to the latest version. The browser version of Snapchat works with Windows, MacOS, and Chrome OS, so if you’re a Snapchat+ subscriber in a supported region, you should be able to log in right now on your computer’s Chrome browser at web.snapchat.com. Snap introduced Snapchat+ just a few weeks ago, a way to give priority access to new features to the platform’s most dedicated users. Top features include the ability to change the app’s icon, pin a friend to the top of your chat history, and see who rewatched…

To begin with, the web platform will be available exclusively for Snapchat Plus subscribers in the US, the UK and Canada, and Snapchatters across Australia, and New Zealand. Topics Snapchat | Video Calling | Social Media IANS  |  New Delhi  Last Updated at July 18, 2022 19:33 IST Snapchat on Monday announced to bring features like chatting and video calling to desktop through a new web app for the first time.

Unlike many other social media platforms, Snapchat has been available only on mobile since its launch over a decade ago. But on Monday, the company launched a web-based version of the popular messaging app.The goal is to give users the freedom to switch between their phones and computers, all while continuing their conversations on the platform. But the new desktop option could also help Snapchat take on a surprising rival: Zoom.While Snapchat is known for letting users send disappearing chats and photos, called snaps, video calling has become a popular feature of the app, according to the company. Snapchat said its app hosts more than 100 million video calls each month with up to 15 participants each. Now, it hopes that service will become easier and more pleasant to use when people join those calls from a desktop.The idea is similar to video calling services such as Zoom, which exploded in popularity during the pandemic, but with some selling points unique to Snapchat. Users will be able to initiate calls more quickly and easily because they're already connected to friends and can see when others are online, according to the company. Snapchat's signature photo lenses — the ones that can…

BENTONVILLE -- A Siloam Springs man arrested last month in connection with extortion has been arrested again following accusations he raped two girls and extorted several others by threatening to release nude images of them. Matthew Nance, 22, was in court Monday for his third bond hearing in recent weeks. He was arrested in connection with two counts of rape, six counts of sexual extortion and one count of kidnapping. He was arrested last week in connection with sexual extortion. His first arrest was June 20 in connection with four counts of sexual extortion. Prosecutors have not filed formal charges against Nance. He was in the Benton County Jail on Tuesday on a bond of $425,000. Siloam Springs police started investigating in April after the mother of a 17-year-old girl reported an incident, according to a probable cause affidavit. The girl told police she was in Walmart when Nance, who worked for a bank, approached her about opening a checking and savings account. Nance set up the account and asked for her cellphone to set up the mobile banking app, according to the affidavit. The girl said she received a message from someone on Snapchat, and the person threatened to…

The app’s color palette is changed to a darker setting in Dark Mode also known as night mode. Another name for dark mode is bedtime mode; if you intend to remain up late with the lights off, this is the display setting you should use. Snapchat and other apps, like Facebook, allow you to enable Dark Mode. However, not all apps include a night mode; in fact, some of the most well-liked ones still lack this useful function. No matter what other apps can do, here’s how to make Snapchat’s dark mode work. Sadly, Snapchat hasn’t made Dark Mode available for Android users, however, they consistently update everything else. Since “Dark Mode” launched on iOS/iPhone almost three years ago (in October 2019), it is probably reasonable to assume that it won’t be coming to Android. Nevertheless, depending on where they are in the world, some users might have access to Dark Mode. Snapchat for Android may not natively support Dark Mode, but you can take a different approach. To compel Snapchat and all other applications to use Dark Mode, turn on “Android developer mode” and use “Settings.” The OS’s Dark Mode setting may change several of an app’s visible features,…
