NBI cybercrime group to probe complaints of Sen. Pangilinan vs 2 YouTube channels

NBI cybercrime group to probe complaints of Sen. Pangilinan vs 2 YouTube channels National Bureau of Investigation The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has assigned its cybercrime division to probe the complaints of Sen. Francis “Kiko” N. Pangilinan against two YouTube channels and the country manager of Google Philippines for alleged attacks and fake news posted against him and his family. NBI Deputy Director Ferdinand M. Lavin said on Thursday, Nov. 18, said the complaints have been assigned to the agency’s Cybercrime Division (NBI-CCD) led by Head Agent Victor V. Lorenzo. Last week, State Counsel Angela Maria De Gracia of the Department of Justice’s Office of Cybercrime (DOJ-OOC) said the complaint of Pangilinan has been “endorsed to NBI for full blown investigation.” In his complaint, Pangilinan identified the YouTube channels in his complaints before the DOJ-OOC as “Starlet” and “Latest Chika.” The senator accused the two channels of having violated Section 4(c)(4) of Republic Act No. 10175, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, in relation to Article 355 of the Revised Penal Code. Also named by Pangilinan as respondent was Google Philippines country manager Bernadette Nacario for violation of Section 20(b)(1) and Section 30(j) of RA 10175. “Due to said…

YouTube Co-founder Protests Platform's 'Dislike' Move by Revisiting First-ever Video – News18

Screenshot shows first-ever image from YouTube's first-ever video. Image credits: Jawed Karim/YouTube.YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim updated the description of the first video uploaded to the video platform titled 'Me at the Zoo' to criticize the platform's decision to stop displaying dislikes publicly.News18.com Last Updated:November 17, 2021, 09:07 ISTFOLLOW US ON:YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim just ‘disliked’ this move. YouTube is rolling out a new feature where it will be hiding the public dislike counts on its videos in order to help protect smaller creators from distasteful comments or online harassment, a statement from the platform recently said. The new feature will be rolled out soon and only the content uploader will be able to see the dislikes in the video. This is, however not say that the actual dislike button will go away. Viewers can still dislike a particular video but it won’t be visible. The feature comes in the wake of an experiment YouTube had done earlier to check whether something like this with the ‘dislike’ button can help protect smaller content creators from harassment. Users often also indulge in purposefully disliking a video to rack up the numbers. A press release says that, YouTube “heard directly from smaller creators…

YouTube co-founder gives thumbs-down to hiding 'dislike' count – RT

Jawed Karim has joined the chorus of criticism against the YouTube platform that he helped create, blasting the company’s “stupid idea” of blocking users from down-voting videos. Karim made his feelings about the controversial move known by adding a comment in the description of the first video ever uploaded to YouTube, which he originally posted in April 2005. “When every YouTuber agrees that removing dislikes is a stupid idea, it probably is,” the YouTube co-founder said. “Try again, YouTube.” The dig was accompanied by a facepalm emoji. It came after the platform last week said it would begin hiding the thumbs-down count on all videos from public view, citing unfair “dislike attacks” meant to harass creators. Critics accused the company of trying to hide public dissent, particularly on such posts as the deeply unpopular videos uploaded by the White House.Karim’s reaction was an ironic twist – not only coming from one of the company’s creators, but also being written on an historic video that marked YouTube’s public debut. His 18-second video entitled ‘Me at the zoo’ has been viewed more than 202 million times.The East German-born software engineer reportedly got about $65 million for his stake in the video-sharing site…

Bilibili, China's YouTube, joins the Open Invention Network | ZDNet

Even in 2021, I still hear people saying, "Open source is somehow suspicious, or it's not good for business." Multi-billion-dollar Chinese companies know better. Bilibili has joined other Chinese technology powerhouses such as ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, and its rival Kuaishou, in joining the Open Invention Network (OIN). The OIN is the world's largest patent non-aggression consortium. It protects Linux and related open source software and the companies behind them from patent attacks and patent trolls. The OIN recently broadened its scope from core Linux programs and adjacent open source code by expanding its Linux System Definition to other patents such as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and the Extended File Allocation Table exFAT file system.The OIN does this by practicing patent non-aggression in core Linux and related open source technologies by cross-licensing Linux System patents to one another on a royalty-free basis. Patents owned by OIN are similarly licensed royalty-free to any organization that agrees not to assert its patents against the Linux System. Any company can do this by simply signing the OIN license online.So, why is a company that makes its money from giving its young content creators a platform allying with open source? For the…

'Me at the zoo,' first YouTube video, protests dislike removal – 9to5Google

The first YouTube video was uploaded by co-founder Jawed Karim on April 23, 2005. That seminal 18-second “Me at the zoo” clip now contains a protest of YouTube’s decision to no longer show public dislike counts. When every YouTuber agrees that removing dislikes is a stupid idea, it probably is. Try again, YouTube 🤦‍♂️ The change was first spotted on Saturday morning, and was preceded by Karim commenting (via Reddit) on the “Update to YouTube’s Dislike Count” video announcing the change. When the site launched in early 2005, Karim was not officially an employee but rather an informal advisor given that he was “focused on school.” That said, his shares were still worth around $64 million following the Google acquisition. This is not the first time the co-founder criticized a YouTube change using his channel, which is also the first one on the site. In 2013, he was very critical about the need for a Google+ account to comment on videos. Meanwhile, the YouTube description for “Me at the zoo” has been updated several times. At the start, it read: The first video on YouTube, uploaded at 8:27 P.M. on Saturday April 23rd, 2005. The video was shot by Yakov…
