FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Fresno County District Attorney's office is warning about an increase in teenagers and young adults ingesting counterfeit pills laced with the deadly drug fentanyl.Investigators say the pills are trafficked through Snapchat and other teen-friendly social media platforms.They are often sold as Xanax or some form of oxycodone, such as Percocet, Vicodin, or OxyContin.What the buyer usually does not know is that the drugs are laced with fentanyl, which is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.And even a tiny dose - as little as two milligrams - is fatal for most people.Fresno County DA Lisa Smittcamp is asking parents and guardians to educate themselves and talk to their children about the dangers of illicit drugs.The DA is also partnering with the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools to provide educational materials to school districts.

Snap is introducing a new feature it’s calling Friend Check Up. On Snapchat, having someone friended could give them access to your story and even possibly your location, depending on your Snap Map settings, so Snap wants to make sure that everyone on your friends list is still someone you actually want to call your friend. This feature could help make the platform safer for users, if they choose to use it. It could be a good way to help you realize you might still have somebody friended that you don’t want to see your posts. And I know there’ve been plenty of times when I’ve looked at a friend or follower of mine and said “I have no idea who this person is,” or worse: “oops, my ex can see my sadtweeting.” Snap says that the feature will be rolling out globally on Android “in the coming weeks” and to iOS devices “in the coming months.” The reminder will show up as a notification on your profile screen, as you can see in this GIF: The Friend Check Up feature shows a notification reminding you to look at your friends list.

Snapchat The 'Deadpool' actor takes his feud with the 'Wolverine' star to a new level as he uses the latter's headshot as a target during an axe-throwing session. Feb 7, 2021 AceShowbiz - Ryan Reynolds has refuelled his fake feud with Hugh Jackman by hurling axes at his nemesis. The pair of pals has been poking fun at each other ever since they worked together on "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" over a decade ago, often embarrassing each other on social media - and now the "Deadpool" star has taken the spat to dangerous new levels on his web series, "Ryan Doesn't Know". In a new video, Ryan recruits an axe thrower to give him tips and after failing to hit the target with his first few attempts, the actor gave himself a little incentive by pinning a photo of Hugh to the centre of a board.

Ryan Reynolds teamed up with Snapchat for "Ryan Doesn't Know". He is joined "by a group of talented emerging artists and creators from an…
