Ava White, 12, was stabbed to death in Liverpool on 25 November 2021. A 14-year-old, who denies murder and manslaughter, claims he accidentally stabbed Ava in self-defence after a row over a Snapchat video.But Liverpool Crown Court was told the boy took selfies, ate crumpets and played a computer game after the stabbing. In her closing speech, Charlotte Newell, QC, prosecuting, said the defendant did not want to admit that he knew he had stabbed Ava as he ran from the scene, before abandoning his knife and coat.She said: "Otherwise it would expose his callous disregard for Ava, taking selfies, eating crumpets and playing Call Of Duty knowing he had stabbed her."The jury was shown CCTV footage of the boy and his friends after the stabbing going into a shop, where they bought butter which he said was for crumpets and he arranged his hair for a selfie.Ms Newell added: "Knowing he had stabbed her, his behaviour is of someone who is, at best, utterly…

Screenshots depicting Snapchat's upcoming parental control features have reportedly offered a glimpse at what the ephemeral messaging service appears to be calling Family Center.TechCrunch reports(Opens in a new window) that Watchful, a market intelligence company, shared a handful of screenshots of Family Center in action nearly seven months after Snap CEO Evan Spiegel revealed that Snapchat was developing these parental control features at WSJ Tech Live(Opens in a new window).The screenshots obtained by Watchful(Opens in a new window) and published by TechCrunch indicate that Family Center will allow parents of teenagers to "get visibility into who they are friends with," "see who they have messaged in the last seven days," and "feel comfortable reporting abuse" to Snapchat."The parental control feature works by allowing parents to invite their teen (or teens) to the new in-app Family Center in order to begin the monitoring," TechCrunch reports. "The recipient of that invitation has the option of either accepting or declining the invitation."This demonstrates the care with which Snap needs to approach the introduction of parental control features. The company probably doesn't want to alienate teenage users by giving their parents unfettered access to these tools, but it doesn't want to risk the parents'…

One of my earliest memories of Facebook is searching for a girl’s profile after getting home from a high school church fundraiser. I made a Tumblr account that same year, posting diary entries and Youtube videos of music I listened to and hoping it would add up to something. Twitter and Instagram followed a couple years later, then Snapchat, all of it constituting a lifetime growing up online, in apps and social networks, each of them provoking, beseeching, or outright demanding a certain level of performance, a gradation of attention and serious engagement, until it was unclear what words like “communication” or “information” even meant.I used to log onto Twitter for the shitposts, now I log on because I’m afraid I’ve missed important world events, or so I tell myself. Last week, I asked a friend how they quit Twitter, feeling like I was asking them how to put on a shirt. I deleted my Facebook ages ago, my Instagram last year, both of them constantly rekindling interest in faded friendships and acquaintanceships that I didn’t care to maintain. Tumblr’s the only platform I use almost identically to how I did when I first logged on. Meanwhile, for some reason…

New Delhi: Popular social media platform Snapchat is reportedly planning to introduce a new parental control feature called “Family Center,” which will allow parents to see who are the friends of their kids on the app. The new feature will also allow parents to see who they’ve been messaging with over the past seven days and more, reports TechCrunch. “Snap is one of the last Big Tech social platforms to address the need for parental monitoring tools, though its app sees heavy use among younger users,” the report mentioned. Snapchat app now reaches more than 75 per cent of 13-34-year olds in over 20 countries, and 80 per cent of the Gen Z population had watched at least one of its Snap Original shows. The new feature could be useful for parents because, unlike many social networks, Snapchat’s friend lists aren’t public. This new feature also allows parents to assist their teen in reporting abuse and harassment. The parental control feature works by allowing parents to invite their teen (or teens) to the new in-app “Family Center” in order to begin the monitoring as mentioned in a report The recipient of that invitation has the option of either accepting or…

With just a few quick taps, it is possible to share a YouTube video link in a Snapchat Story or directly with friends in a regular Snap. Snapchat is a versatile and fun app that adds so many new features regularly that it can be hard to keep up with what's possible on the social network. One of the most useful capabilities is a way to share favorite YouTube videos more quickly and easily. This leaves more time for sharing and creating instead of fussing with copying and pasting content. Snapchat is a bit different from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media apps, in that it tends to be more private. Instead of sharing with the public or a large a nebulous group, Snaps can be directed to particular people or groups and are seen only by them. The fleeting nature of a Snap tends to inspire sharing more freely without trying to get everything just perfect. While Snapchat favors user-created content, sharing links to content from other apps is easy as well. Snapchat users can share a video link directly from the YouTube app in a super-fast and easy, one-step process. Of course, both the Snapchat and YouTube apps should be installed on the…

Snapchat has recently been accused of breaking an Illinois privacy statute relating to biometrics. The latest complaint has brought the company’s Lenses app into the limelight, claiming that it breached the law’s privacy requirements. Residents from Illinois were said to have filed the case late last week, and their names were recently revealed as Maribel Ocampo and Adrian Coss. Both users claim that the social networking app uses the special effects lenses function to scan their faces. Furthermore, the pair has stated that their acts are in direct violation of Illinois’ existing Privacy Information Law, which forbids businesses from participating in such conduct without receiving written agreement from individuals who agree to such tactics. The legislation states that any information linked to a person’s biodata, including facial scans, cannot be acquired at random. This Act, which was approved in 2008, has a lengthy explanation regarding how firms may be fined if they fail to take people under their wing when it comes to biodata gathering. Similarly, the conditions require the corporation to set a schedule for how it will destroy any information or details it collects. Firms that fail to comply with the legislation face a $5000 fine for each…
