(WWBT) - Snapchat says it’s making changes to make it harder for kids to buy drugs on its platform, and it has to do with how “friends” are recommended on the app.An NBC News investigation published in October found that Snapchat was linked to the sale of fentanyl-laced pills that killed teenagers and young adults in over a dozen states. Virginia did not have any confirmed deaths in that report. However, there were warnings from the Drug Enforcement Administration that drug dealers are marketing to teenagers through popular social media apps, selling drugs that look like prescription medication and delivering counterfeit pills to kids and young adults. A special agent in charge of the warning says these sales often involve young people who use apps like Snapchat and Instagram to connect with dealers and order pills they think are safe but often prove deadly.It may be as easy as finding the pills online, walking a few blocks to get them, and bringing them home.So now, according to NBC News, Snapchat says new parental controls are coming to the social networking app. For example, there will be options to limit friend suggestions for teen users. That way, strangers can’t easily find…

Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino speak of the joys and challenges of a period show  Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino speak of the joys and challenges of a period show  After the marvellous Mrs Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) is dropped from the world tour by singer Shy Baldwin (Leroy McClain) at the end of Season 3, she is back in Season 4 ready to avenge her humiliation. The Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning period drama details Midge’s adventures as she discovers her talent for stand-up. While  The Marvelous Mrs Maisel is pretty much all-around amazing, the music deserves an extra special mention. “Music is a personal thing to us,” says creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, speaking from Brooklyn, New York. “We have always been heavily involved musically in all of our shows.  Gilmore Girls was music heavy. When we put music in a show, it has to mean something, it has to have character. I was lucky because I married a psychotic music-file. My husband, (Daniel Palladino, Executive Producer), has the serial killer equivalent of a music basement, which has thousands and thousands of albums and CDs.”  Right note  Daniel Palladino | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement The collection…

The Department for Education (DfE) has launched the UK’s first AR career fair with Snapchat to support its ‘Get the Jump’ campaign. The campaign has been devised to help young people understand what their education and training choices are and to help them get the best start to their working lives. Running until the end of March, this is the first time the DfE has run an AR campaign. Get the Jump covers all education and training options and the AR lens specifically spotlights technical education routes which have lower levels of awareness, for example, T Levels, traineeships, apprenticeships, and Higher Technical Qualifications. The AR campaign is supported by video content – produced by Future Studios and running on Snap’s Discover tab – that showcases the experiences that young people have had on the different available training paths. Rebecca Thould, Head of Campaigns for Young People and Adult Skills at the Department for Education, said: “We know from extensive research that young people like to hear from other young people, who they can relate to, about their own experiences. We know that Snapchat reaches 90% of 13-24-year-olds in the UK so partnering with Snap was an obvious choice for the…

The Irish Sun can reveal Jason Finnegan, 19, was one of five enforcers working for the caged killer - who remains in hiding in Spain - in the Basin Street Flats complex in Dublin’s south inner city. 5Jason Finnegan received a five year sentence, with two and a half suspended for a series of shocking attacksCredit: Paddy Cummins - IrishPhotodesk.i 5Gang boss Brian 'King Ratt' Rattigan is in hiding in SpainCredit: PcPhoto 5Finnegan recorded his pal stabbing a man on Snapchat But Finnegan’s reign of terror is now over after he received a five year sentence, with two and a half years suspended, last week for a series of shocking attacks. During an assault on Kenneth Osbourne on March 15, 2020, he encouraged thug Mark Pidgeon, 30, to “lash him, lash him out of it”. Dublin Circuit Court heard last week how Osbourne, 33, was attacked because he owed Finnegan €300 or €400. At the time of the assault, Finnegan was a major target for Gardai in Kevin Street and Kilmainham under…

news, local-news, When Geoff Anderson started going into classrooms in Parkes to teach the Wiradjuri language to primary school students, he realised what he'd been missing all his life. "As soon as I walked into that room I realised, I'm home," he said. "It just made me feel so good to share what it did for me ... and now it's in all schools in Parkes." Now Mr Anderson, a Wiradjuri descendant and First Languages Australia (FLA) director, is helping to take the language to even more young people with the launch of a new Wiradjuri Snapchat lens on Monday. The Wiradjuri language learning 'lens', one of four Indigenous languages featured on Snapchat as part of International Mother Language Day on February 21, uses augmented reality and machine learning to identify different objects and display their name in Wiradjuri. Young First Nations people worked with Snapchat developers on between twenty and thirty words in each language, including their phonetic pronunciation, mostly for common objects such as trees and animals. Mr Anderson said he hopes the Snapchat lens will help keep students engaged with Wiradjuri language when they reach their teen years. "You know what it's like with teenagers: if their…

The safety feature is being rolled out as more people are returning to school campuses, traveling, going out on dates and otherwise resuming what they did before the pandemic, the company said. The feature, which is similar to Apple (AAPL)‘s Find My app, allows users to share their real-time locations with a friend for 15 minutes, one hour or up to eight hours. Snapchat partnered with It’s On Us, a nonprofit founded in 2014 to combat sexual assault on campuses, in creating the feature. Since 2017, Snapchat has allowed users to share their locations with friends on its Snap Map feature, which updates a location only when the user has the app open. The company said 250 million users utilize Snap Map each month. Last May, Snapchat said it reached 500 million monthly active users. According to a survey conducted by the company, 78% of its US app users wouldn’t hesitate to share their locations on Snap Map, and most do it as a safe way to connect to others. Like the Snap Map, the new feature will remain off by default. Snapchatters can turn on their location “in an instant,” the company said, but only with specific friends. To…
