From a teacher in Punjab who started a Youtube channel to make Maths accessible to a teacher in Gujarat who has introduced an approach to let students take decisions at all administrative levels at their school, The Indian Express talked to educators who have made a difference. The ‘school’ under a bridge in New Delhi For 15 years now, Rajesh Kumar, 52, has been teaching out-of-school children under a flyover in Delhi.

It caters to children of the farming community in the area. Express Photo by Tashi Tobgyal New DelhiThe school began in 2007 with 60-odd children. When the initiative first began, Kumar’s focus was on teaching non-enrolled students and helping them get admissions in the government schools in the Shakarpur area.  “Now there are around 250 students – 150 girls in the morning shift and 100 boys in the afternoon shift. When I started, it was just me. But now there are four other teachers who teach on a voluntary basis,” Kumar said. A sizable number of children attending it at the moment are already students…

YouTube Could Start Selling Individual Streaming Services – Wccftech

Companies like Apple, Amazon, and Roku are already letting their users subscribe to third-party streaming services using a single login. For instance, Prime Video Channels lets you sign up for Paramount Plus using your Amazon account, which helps in leveraging your Amazon billing info and letting you watch your favorite shows using Prime Video. Now, something like this could be coming to YouTube. YouTube Wants You to Have All our Streaming Services in One Place Now, a new report from Wall Street Journal reports that YouTube is planning on launching a "channel store" that would serve as the same purpose. The feature has been under development for 18 months and the launch is as close to this fall. The source has also explained that YouTube's Channel Store will allow users to choose the streaming services of their choice through the YouTube app. For the sake of comparison, YouTube TV service offers more than 80 channels for $65 a month.

YouTube showing election-fraud videos to users skeptical about 2020 US polls – Times Now

FILE PHOTO: Silhouettes of laptop and mobile device users are seen next to a screen projection of the YouTube logo in this picture illustration taken March 28, 2018. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File PhotoYouTube is showing more election-fraud videos to users already skeptical about the legitimacy of the 2020 US presidential election, a study has revealed, showing how its algorithms perpetuate existing misperceptions.The study, published in the Journal of Online Trust and Safety, found that those most skeptical of the election's legitimacy were shown three times as many election-fraud-related videos as were the least skeptical participants -- roughly eight additional recommendations out of approximately 400 videos suggested to each study participant.The findings expose the consequences of a recommendation system that provides users with the content they want."For those most concerned about possible election fraud, showing them related content provided a mechanism by which misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracies can find their way to those most likely to believe them," said the authors of the study.Importantly, these patterns reflect the independent influence of the algorithm on what real users are shown while using the platform."Our findings uncover the detrimental consequences of recommendation algorithms and cast doubt on the view that online information environments are solely…

Did the PTA illegally block YouTube during Imran Khan's speech? – Pakistan – DAWN.COM

It is now possible for the PTA to block applications and websites without instructing ISPs to do so. Usama Khilji Published September 2, 2022 Updated September 2, 2022 11:45am On Sunday, August 21, several internet users reported that they were unable to access video sharing site YouTube in Pakistan. This coincided with the timing of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speech regarding politically motivated cases registered against him as well as his party leadership, and the subsequent ban on live coverage of his speeches by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra). The former premier and his supporters allege that YouTube was temporarily blocked in Pakistan to obstruct live-streaming on YouTube of Imran Khan’s speech. What the evidence says Apart from hundreds of social media users complaining about being unable to access YouTube, independent internet watchdog Netblocks ran network analysis tests in Pakistan through users which showed that YouTube was working for only 38 per cent of users who ran the test. This means that YouTube was accessible on only a few networks and not on others. Because the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has not made any public comments to the media or on its website regarding the outage, we…

YouTube pushed Trump supporters toward voter fraud videos, study finds – NBC News

YouTube’s recommendation system may have boosted interest in false claims about voter fraud for several weeks between the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol, according to a study published Thursday based on data from the crucial period. Researchers analyzed YouTube usage from 361 people who signed up before the election to participate in the study. They found that participants most skeptical about the legitimacy of the election were disproportionately more likely to get fraud-related video recommendations from YouTube than participants who weren’t skeptical. The study adds to a debate within tech companies and among academics about online echo chambers and “filter bubbles,” in which people take in information only that they agree with — either because that’s what they want or that’s what tech platforms give them or both. The researchers found that those most skeptical of the election results got three times as many video recommendations for election fraud than the least likely participants, though in absolute terms the number of videos was small: 12 videos versus four videos among about 410 recommendations. James Bisbee, the study’s lead author and until recently a researcher at New York University, said YouTube’s recommendations helped to create a path for…
