A THUG viciously attacked a man at a block of flats and then posted a bragging picture of his bloodied victim online. Taylor Miller, then 22, showed up at the victim’s flat in Barry at just after midnight on September 20 last year. Prosecutor Emily Jermin said the defendant punched him whilst outside before tackling him to the ground inside the entrance hallway. When the victim was on the floor, Miller kicked him and stamped on him at least twice. The court heard that Miller posted a picture of the bloodied victim on Snapchat with the caption: ‘That’s what happens when you touch my family’. The victim was taken to University Hospital of Wales. He had suffered a bleed on the brain, had a reduced level of consciousness, had swelling and multiple wounds to his head and face, and had bruising to his chest and back. Ms Jermin said the victim woke up in hospital with no memory of the attack. Miller, of Dorothy Close in Barry, was arrested and gave a no comment police interview. He later pleaded guilty at Cardiff Crown Court to inflicting grievous bodily harm. Adam Sharp, appearing for Miller, acknowledged that the defendant’s attendance at

X has changed pretty radically since the days when it was known as Twitter, after it was acquired by Elon Musk in 2022, with many leaving for greener pastures at different social media platforms amid the shifting tone of the site. X has now open-sourced much of its code, which could make many elements of how its algorithm works much less mysterious. Earlier this week, the company made the source code for its "For You" timeline available on GitHub under the Apache v2 license. This means you can see the how and why behind certain posts appearing near the top of your feed when you open the app, and others not. In an interview with TechCrunch, which covered the release, X's VP of Product Keith Coleman explained how the GitHub release includes "the core ranking code that pulls posts and ranks them for any given user and assembles the feed." The code repository contains the systems used to filter out potentially problematic, rule-violating content, according to Coleman. X is also testing tools that will allow users to see how X's algorithms impact their own posts. If you want to access the tool, head to the Under the Hood page directly

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Horry-Georgetown Technical College violated a student’s First Amendment rights by disciplining her over social media posts, according to a court ruling. A federal judge ruled Monday that HGTC violated cosmetology student Leigha Lemoine’s First Amendment rights. The case started in September 2024 when Lemoine, while off campus, sent a Snapchat message in a private group that included some HGTC students. In the chat, Lemoine vented about a derogatory term her boyfriend’s roommate called her, telling the chat, “he needa get blasted.” According to Lemoine’s October 2024 federal lawsuit, everyone in the chat found it funny and supported her instead of expressing fear. On Sept. 11, 2024, HGTC called Lemoine in to discuss the post. She explained that “get blasted” meant calling the person out, not a physical threat, according to the lawsuit. HGTC accepted the explanation and told Lemoine she did not violate the student code, the lawsuit stated. But days later, someone found a video of Lemoine doing target practice with a friend’s handgun in North Carolina, wearing western attire with the caption: “Got u hooked.” HGTC met with Lemoine again, but this time the school handed her an interim suspension and no-trespass order

Local News Affidavits cite jail calls, Snapchat video, payment app records in Calfas case SAN ANTONIO – Defense attorney Neil Calfas is accused of solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. A former prosecutor who’s covered a case like this explains that the affidavits describe an unusual path for the case. “This investigation was all started because of a complaint that had been given to the DA’s office, who then referred it to law enforcement,” Meredith Chacon said. “Which is an unusual way that a case can be referred.” Arrest affidavits accuse the San Antonio attorney Calfas of offering legal services in exchange for sex and paying women for sex, according to documents tied to a Texas Department of Public Safety investigation. Chacon, who is now a defense attorney, handled a human trafficking case against a lawyer, Mark Benavides. He was sentenced to 80 years in prison, convicted of exchanging legal services for sex. Chacon said her experience with Benavides’ case taught her these allegations reflect a sobering reality: criminal conduct like this can turn up in unexpected places. “This does happen at that level,” Chacon said. “You’re not shielded from those things

India’s festive shopping journey is becoming less about a single Diwali-led purchase moment and more about an extended cycle of discovery, discussion and decision-making, according to new research by GWI and Snapchat. The study, based on 1,008 Gen Z internet users in India, finds that while creators and content continue to influence product discovery, purchase decisions are increasingly shaped by conversations with friends and family. Seven in 10 Gen Z consumers say creator content helps them discover products. But when it comes to making the final decision, 63% share products with friends or family before purchasing, while 76% say instant feedback from people they trust makes them more confident about their purchase decisions. Four in 10 actively seek opinions or advice before buying. The findings point to a more fragmented purchase journey, where a consumer may discover a product through a creator or social content but turn to their inner circle before deciding whether to actually buy it. For marketers, this means the traditional awareness-to-consideration-to-conversion funnel is becoming less linear, with influence moving between public content and private conversations. Gen Z is planning for festive shopping earlier The research also challenges the idea of Diwali as the singular peak of
