Indiana police say Liberty German and Abigail Williams, victims of the Delphi murder, were communicating with someone behind a fake Instagram and Snapchat page set by a suspected pediatrician. I made it clear. Liberty and Abigail, both 14 years old, were found dead near a bridge and railroad track in Delphi, Indiana, after taking a walk together on February 13, 2017. On Monday, police investigating the murder case announced that they were looking for someone who created the profile anthony_shots. This is a fake account that seduces a young girl with an image of an innocent male model. Catfish pretended to be rich and posted photos of luxury cars, designer clothing and cash, and the shirtless photos he claimed. The same Instagram and Snapchat personas are named on the affidavit of 27-year-old Kegan Anthony Kline, who was arrested on February 23, 2017, within 40 miles of where the girl disappeared in Peru, Indiana.

Nearly a year ago, TikTok unveiled its Black creatives program, a three-month incubator in partnership with Charles D. King’s Macro media company, to support an inaugural class of 100 creators and propel their careers forward. Since then, creators have attended town halls and meetings with TikTok and entertainment industry execs and received training on topics like how to turn their platforms into brands. In November, TikTok and Macro said they were awarding 10 Black creators $50,000 grants each to pursue a larger project and help cover the costs of equipment, staffing and other resources. Jason Linton, who goes by @dadlifejason on TikTok and has 11.6 million followers, is a recipient of one of the grants, and says he was grateful the incubator brought him together with other Black creatives. Jason Linton Courtesy of TikTok “We will help each other with each other’s content and with each other’s vision. We’ve actually started a deeper camaraderie that was sparked with TikTok for Black creatives,” Linton says. “It continues even to this day. And that really changed the game for us.”  TikTok’s incubator program was built after the social media app faced accusations that it suppressed content related to Black Lives Matter as users spoke…

Social media apps encourage perfectionism and damage human psychology, particularly affecting teenagers, and can even push them to the point of suicide. ''I just hate this blue eyes filter! As if it's ugly to have brown eyes," says Berra Demir, a 19-year-old student from Istanbul, as she took an Instagram selfie with one of its filters on that gave her brown eyes a bluish effect.  When asked to take a picture without a filter, she said she is not confident enough with the way she looks."I don't find my normal self beautiful."Demir's answer reveals a deep complexity many men and women face in general today. In our "screen time" period, we express ourselves with the pictures we put on social media applications such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. But the edits that we make to our photos – from changing the complexion of our face to the colour of our eyes – tempts us to hide our ''normal'' selves. Think a little, how many filters can you count? Blue eyes, small noses, a perfectly shaped face, a thinner body, lighter skin tone, flushed cheeks, and even gender reassignment… Apart from these, there are now also apps that only consist of filters to…

TikToker Margaux Cody previously showed her 253k followers a hack to get into your partner's Snapchat account and find out if they're being unfaithful. 2Margaux made a name for herself on the app with her so-called "Toxic TikTok" series But she's since dramatically pulled the video and urged people move on from sleazy lovers.

December 16, 2021 TikTok has surpassed Snapchat and Twitter in global user numbers, according to the inaugural forecast on TikTok users worldwide by Insider Intelligence (formerly eMarketer).  The social networking app surpassed those competitors in 2020 and grew even larger in 2021, cementing itself as the  No. 3 worldwide social platform behind Facebook and Instagram. There will be 755 million monthly TikTok users in 2022, forecasts Insider Intelligence.  This number grew 59.8 per cent in 2020 and will increase an additional 40.8 per cent in 2021. While that growth will slow, it will remain high at 15.1 per cent in 2022. TikTok is also gaining share of overall social network users. In 2022, its share is predicted to surpass 20 per cent for the first time and approach one-quarter by 2024. “The rise of TikTok is especially challenging for Snapchat, with which it competes head-to-head for the youth audience,” said Debra Aho Williamson, Insider Intelligence principal analyst. “Although TikTok does not share much similarity to Twitter, its massive size relative to the more-established platform is a clear reflection of the addictive nature of TikTok’s content.” Next year, 3.57 billion people will use a social network at least once a month,…
