TikTok's meteoric rise has baffled Meta (formerly Facebook) as the Chinese short-video app is set to overtake the global advertising share of micro-blogging platform Twitter and photo-sharing platform Snapchat this year. Moreover, TikTok is predicted to catch up with Google-owned YouTube by clocking $23.6 billion in ad revenue by 2024, reports The Guardian. "Last year, it overtook the global ad take of Snapchat," the report said on Saturday. TikTok, which was banned in India in June 2020 along with several Chinese apps in the first lot, is likely to triple its global worldwide ad revenues $11.6 billion this year - more than $10.44 billion for Snapchat and Twitter combined. A TikTok user spent 19.6 hours on average per month on the app last year, according to data.ai, which is equal to Facebook which is seeing its user growth stalled, and dwindling among the Gen Z and millennials. While Facebook still has 2.9 billion monthly active users and Instagram nearly 2 billion and Meta registered $118 billion in revenue last year, the Mark Zuckerberg-run company is worried at TikTok's rise. Facebook has been losing users for quite some time while TikTok's usage is rising in the US. Meta's recent earnings report…

Want to practice American Sign Language? There's a Snapchat lens for that. On Tuesday, Snapchat released a new lens that teaches ASL, in partnership with SignAll, which designs AI technology for sign language translation. Called the ASL Alphabet Lens, it teaches you how to fingerspell your own name, practice the ASL alphabet, and play games to test your skills, all using hand-tracking technology. The new lens was led by Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Snap team members, called the "Deafengers." You can try it here."For native signers, in a world where linguistic inequity is prevalent, we believe AR can help evolve the way we communicate," Snap said in a blog post. "We look forward to learning more from our community as we strive to continuously improve experiences for everyone on Snapchat."In September, Snapchat and SignAll released stickers and three augmented reality lenses that also taught fingerspelling basics, during International Week of the Deaf. "We’re constantly working to expand the ways Snapchatters can express themselves and make connections through our Camera," Snapchat said. "We hope that Lenses not only evolve the way we see the world, but help us feel closer to one another."

Image courtesy of ConnectSafely Authorities are investigating allegations of cyber bullying incident involving multiple juveniles in Searcy County. Sheriff Kenny Cassell says his office and the 12th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney’s Office began the investigation into the alleged bullying using the social media platform “Snapchat.” Sheriff Cassell says his office learned of the incident April 3. Since then, the investigation has reportedly revealed a web of “posts” to multiple “groups” created by children on Snapchat to taunt and defame the character of their peers. Cassell says, “Make no mistake. The Searcy County Sheriff’s Office will take all measures to ensure the safety of all children as well as conducting a thorough investigation involving these allegations.” Investigators are urging parents to monitor their children’s activities on all social media platforms to help identify victims of harassment. Cassell says, “The best way to control cyber bullying is to refrain from the use of any social media platform where users can hide behind false usernames to verbally attack children.” Anyone with information can contact Searcy County Sheriff’s Office at 870-448-2340.

Snapchat is introducing a new ASL alphabet learning lens called “Sign With Snap.” The lens will teach you how to “fingerspell your name, practice the ASL Alphabet, and play games that put new skills to the test”.  Snap’s aim is to help users feel closer to one another through shared communication. This feature is led by a group of deaf and hard-of-hearing team members at Snap called the ‘Deafengers.’ The social media giant is partnering with SignAll to use technology to capture users’ fingerspelling.
