Today, we're looking at Snapchat's 'First Commercial' showcase.Snapchat has showcased the first ads under its ‘First Commercial’ ad offering in the UK, with O2 and eBay named as the pioneers. Snapchat began testing ‘First Commercial’ back last Spring, releasing it to advertisers in October. Available through Snapchat's self-serve advertising platform, Ads Manager, 'First Commercial' is Snap's first-ever video takeover product.

O2 and eBay are among the first in the UK to take advantage of the six-second, non-skippable video takeover. Over the past few years, Snapchat has been steadily strengthening its ad offering. In 2019, it introduced ‘Commercials’, which ran across Snapchat's shows in the UK. That was followed by ‘Extended Play Commercials’ which ran up to three minutes but were skippable after six seconds.In a bid to entice brands to its platform, Snap also debuted its first brand-facing campaign, ‘Meet the Snapchat Generation,’ where it showcased how…

Akash Sondhi, 27, targeted 573 users - including four from Nottinghamshire - aged between 16 and 25 between 2015 and 2020. While some of his victims are yet to be traced, police officers discovered they were located all across the world – including the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Romania and beyond. Police said Sondhi hacked the accounts to gain access to intimate images. He would then threaten to expose the pictures to friends and family members in their phone contacts if they did not send him more images and videos. His home was raided by officers in March 2020 when several victims made reports to the police. A number of his victims have since been identified and have been supported by officers from the cyber team. Sondhi, of of Hedingham Road, Chafford Hundred in Essex,…

Don’t film yourself during a Daytona test session. And don’t post that video to social media.That’s the lessons that 15-year-old Taylor Gray has undoubtedly learned after he posted a video of himself driving during an ARCA Series test session at Daytona to Snapchat on Friday.Here’s the video. Gray doesn’t appear to be around any other cars while he’s on the track.As you can imagine, it’s against NASCAR rules to film yourself with your phone while driving during a test, practice or race (NASCAR owns the ARCA Series). In fact, it’s against NASCAR rules to have a phone or any type of device that can record in your car at all.Drivers have been penalized for that rule infraction before, so it’s very possible that NASCAR will sanction Gray — especially since he posted it to social media. While driving with no one else around you at Daytona isn’t the most challenging thing in racing — drivers don’t typically have to lift off the gas or work very hard to steer their cars — it’s still a terrible idea to use your phone while going over 170 MPH.Gray made his first ARCA starts in 2020 after he turned 15 in March. He…

Snapchat makes Trump’s ‘indefinite’ ban PERMANENT, accusing him of ‘inciting violence’ & ‘spreading misinformation’.Popular American multimedia messaging app Snapchat has banned US President Donald Trump from its platform for good, turning a temporary suspension into a permanent one while arguing the commander in chief used his account to “incite violence” and spread disinformation. “In the interest of public safety, and based on attempts to spread misinformation, hate speech, and incite violence, which are clear violations of our guidelines, we have made the decision to permanently terminate his account,” a spokesperson for Snap Inc., which owns Snapchat, said. The company said the decision came after it assessed what “long term action is in the best interest of our Snapchat community” following Trump’s “indefinite” suspension last week. Snapchat is the latest social media site to ban the president, following similar actions by Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter, among others. Some have handed out only temporary bans, while others have opted to make them permanent. The Big Tech purge was prompted by a violent disturbance at the US Capitol last week, which left at least five dead after a crowd of Trump supporters stormed the building as Congress convened to certify the results of the 2020…
