Twitter has joined companies like Facebook in asking users to protect its targeted ad dollars in a new iOS 14.5 prompt, as the new Apple App Tracking Transparency forces developers to ask permission from users if they want to enable ad tracking. See Zee Business Live TV Streaming Below: Unlike an aggressive Facebook and Instagram, Twitter has politely asked users to enable tracking on iOS. According to MacRumor, after updating to version 8.65 which adds support for audio chat app Spaces, Twitter users will see a pop-up notification that asks them to "keep ads relevant". "Keep ads relevant to you by allowing Twitter to track data from other companies on this device, like apps you use and websites you visit," reads the prompt. Tapping "Continue" on the popup will bring iOS users to the actual App Tracking Transparency setting. Twitter has also included a link to a support post in the help centre that explains why it has to ask for permission, includes a link to its current App Privacy Policy. Facebook has been a vocal critic of Apple`s iOS 14 privacy updates, arguing that the privacy changes could hurt small businesses globally. Earlier this month, Facebook and Instagram added…

As part of iOS 14.5, Apple’s App Tracking Transparency forces developers to ask permission for something they used to be able to do for free: track iOS users. Today, Twitter is joining the ranks of other developers and adding a prompt that asks users to enable tracking on iOS (via MacRumors). Twitter’s main justification for listening to its request is straightforward — having the feature enabled allows it to serve “better” ads. The company includes a link to settings so you can make those changes, but read Twitter’s explanation before you decide: Keep ads relevant to you by allowing Twitter to track data from other companies on this device, like apps you use and websites you visit. The company also includes a link to a support post in the Twitter help center which explains why it has to ask for permission, includes a link to its current App Privacy Policy, and goes over what enabling or disabling tracking does in iOS. The new Twitter ad tracking prompt. It’s a surprisingly low-key attempt to get users to allow Twitter to track them, considering the company highlighted Apple’s addition of App Tracking Transparency in iOS 14.5 as a potential risk in its…

Seth Rogen appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Thursday night, where the actor explained why his so-called feud with Senator Ted Cruz is "not a feud."Rogen is known for being openly opinionated on Twitter and, back in January, he and Cruz had a days-long Twitter exchange, which all started on Inauguration Day, when Cruz criticized President Joe Biden for reentering the Paris Climate Agreement.On Thursday, host Stephen Colbert asked the actor to explain why he is calling his social media spar with Cruz "not a feud.""Feud implies equal ground," Rogen explained. "If someone's trying to murder someone with a baseball bat and someone is yelling that person to stop, is that a feud between the baseball bat-wielder and the person yelling at the baseball bat-wielder? I don't know if that's a feud."Rogen added, "I think feud implies two people hitting each other with baseball bats. I'm, like, Ted Cruz is a fascist. He denies the reality of the election. His words cause people to die, and I'm making jokes about it. Is that a feud? I don't know. To me, it doesn't seem like a feud. To me, it seems like I'm pointing out the fact that he is…

But how'd you react if you found that senior Roshan was trending on the microblogging site for his dance skills? Yes, you read that right. It isn't Hrithik this time, but his father whose dance moves have taken the Internet by storm. So how did this all happen? Turns out, on Twitter spaces, a platform where people from across the globe can join and discuss anything they wish to, one of the speakers in one such discussion said Rakesh Roshan was the best dancer in India in the 1980s. And that triggered a meme-fest.Another Twitter user shed light on what led to Rakesh Roshan's name trending on the microblogging site.

by: Lainey Gerber Posted: May 11, 2021 / 10:38 PM CDT / Updated: May 11, 2021 / 10:38 PM CDT TOPEKA (KSNT) – Topeka native Teven Jenkins’ fandom extends beyond the football field. In the days leading up to the NFL draft, Jenkins had under 2,000 twitter followers. That number went up to over 4,000 the day he got drafted by the Chicago Bears. Less than two weeks later, he is up to over 26,000 followers. A big market team with a lot of excited fans drafted him, but the biggest reason for his surge in social media interest could be his reactions to old photos of himself. He doesn’t even know where his followers are finding these pictures. Some of the tweets get thousands of likes and hundreds of retweets. Jenkins responds with memes or just plain disappointment. He even tried denying the existence of any photos taken before a few days ago. Every great trend evolves with time, and this one has grown to include some photoshop magic.  Jenkins said it’s all just for laughs. It looks like he has quite a few friends to look forward to in Chicago.
