SnapChat

Photo: Rich Fury / Staff (Getty Images)This week covers the whole spectrum of kid-internet-culture, from Britney Spears stuck in a conservatorship, to a movie about family stuck next to the ultimate Karen, to a TikTok lady who got stuck in her own chair. Let’s dive in—here’s what you need to know.This week in Supreme Court rulings: Teenage cheerleader vindicatedI don’t usually cover Supreme Court decisions, but this case features a disgruntled teenage cheerleader, vulgar Snapchat messages, and a school district petty enough to take a discipline matter to the Supreme Court. The trouble began way back in 2017 when Brandi Levy, then a high school student in Pennsylvania, was not moved up to varsity cheer. Angered, the teenager posted, “Fuck school fuck softball fuck cheer fuck everything” to her SnapChat, and the school responded by cutting her from the cheer team. Her parents filed suit, arguing that she wasn’t in school when she cursed on the internet, and maybe the school should stop being such fascists. The case moved from Pennsylvania district court up the legal pyramid to the Big Show—the Supremes. In a win for free speech and The Cheeristocracy, the Court ruled 8-1 that The Mahanoy School district…

Debate has raged about whether digital addiction is a real affliction or something akin to a strong habit. As the evidence has accumulated, however, doctors and psychiatrists are increasingly confident classifying our digital devices as addictive, not unlike cigarettes or gambling.Now economists are weighing in. This June, a team of economists from Harvard, Stanford, and New York universities released a white paper entitled, simply, “Digital Addiction” that used economic methods, such as small payments, to analyze people’s “digital self-control problems.”The researchers recruited about 2,000 American adults who installed an Android app allowing them to limit screen time. Participants were given self-control options that were difficult to override, as well financial incentives ($2.50 for every hour that blocked Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube). Users reduced screen time for those services by 22 minutes per day over 12 weeks.The researchers built a model showing how people’s behavior corresponded to their preferences (versus their compulsion to check their phones). The study concludes about a third of social media use (48 minutes per day on average) are linked to self-control problems and habit formation engendered by our digital technology. “The model predicts that 31% of social media use is not what people would…

Tinder's new video profile feature Image: Tinder By Anna Iovine2021-06-22 13:00:00 UTC In the years since the ubiquitous dating app Tinder launched in 2012, its interface has stayed largely the same. Until now. Today Tinder is launching a slew of new features to serve Gen Z, which accounts for more than half of their users according to their press release. With the introduction of video and an Explore page, the app is going to look a lot more like TikTok and Snapchat. Let's breakdown the features: Videos in profiles Tinder wants to "bring the main character energy" to the app, invoking a popular TikTok meme, by adding the ability for users to put videos on their profiles. They say this is part of making Tinder a "multi-dimensional experience." Users will be able to crop and upload videos as they are currently only able to with photos.

A supermarket worker, sacked after sending a 13-year-old a sexual video from Morrisons toilets, has avoided a jail sentence. Henry Cole sent sickening sexual messages, images and video to two different children on Snapchat. He told one 13-year-old he wanted to have sex with her on the bonnet of his car, and sent her an explicit video of himself in the toilets of Morrisons supermarket in Peterhead, where he worked at the time. And Cole, 21, who was also arrested at the supermarket, has now appeared back in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to be sentenced over the matter. Cole lost job but not his freedom Defence agent Stuart Flowerdew said his client had no previous convictions. He added: “The commission of this offending has impacted heavily in as much as he’s lost his employment and no longer plays rugby. “People have isolated themselves from him. A restriction of liberty order may increase the isolation.” Mr Flowerdew said court-ordered social work indicated there was an “educational path” available in terms of sentencing. Cole, of South Mains of Birness, Ellon, admitted coercing a 13-year-old into looking at a sexual image and communicating indecently with her. And he also admitted a…

Snapchat became famous upon its creation in 2011 with its graphics-forward approach to communication. Users sent stickers, animated figures, and edited selfies to their friends to add a visual element to what was earlier a text-populated virtual world. Nine years later, the approach has paid off, with over four billion Snaps being sent every day.Snapchat has to keep its platform interesting by adding new updates and features lest it be eaten up by its competitors, and one of the easiest ways to do this is through recent, innovative filters. One of the viral offerings of the app has been what it calls the ‘Disney-Style’ 3D filter. The feature makes one’s face most suited to the cartoon form they would take if they were in a Disney movie, and has been greatly popular among users of the app.Using the filter on SnapchatStep One: Go to the App Store on your phone to get the Snapchat app. If you already have it, check that it’s updated.Step Two: Open the app’s camera and click the smiling emoji which is at the right of the shutter/camera button.Step Three: Pick the Cartoon 3D Style option from the list in the Explore menu.Step Four: Search for…

Snapchat has removed its “speed filter” feature after it was allegedly blamed for boosting dangerous speeding by safety supporters and families of car crash victims. In a statement to Private News, a Snap spokesperson confirmed the company was excluding the feature, saying the sticker was barely used by the app’s 500 million monthly active users. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our Snapchat community, and we had previously disabled the filter at driving speeds,” the spokesperson said. “Today the sticker is barely used by Snapchatters, and in light of that, we are removing it altogether.” the spokesperson said. On the contrary, the company began eliminating the feature starting this week, but it will be a couple more weeks before it disappears entirely from the app. Whereas Snapchat first introduced the controversial feature in 2013 but further improved some of its features after the reaction and lawsuits. It changed it from a filter to a less projecting sticker and added a “don’t snap and drive” warning while the feature was in use. It also limited the top driving speed at which a snap could be shared to 35 mph, according to NPR. The feature’s removal came a month after an…
