Beware of suspicious messages from bot accounts on Facebook and Instagram! 🤖❌

These fake accounts are sending out messages claiming your account has been restricted or violated Meta policies. They often include a link to "verify" or "restore" your account.

🚫 DO NOT CLICK ON THESE LINKS! 🚫

Remember:
• Meta (Facebook/Instagram) will never ask you to verify your account through a direct message
• These bot accounts often use official-looking logos and language to seem legitimate
• Clicking on suspicious links can lead to account theft or malware infection

Stay vigilant and protect yourself:
✅ Report and block suspicious accounts
✅ Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts
✅ Regularly update your passwords

If you're concerned about your account status, always log in directly through the official app or website.

If you follow any of these top TikTok influencers in the USA:

Charli D'Amelio - 155+ million followers
Khaby Lame - Although Senegalese-Italian, he has a massive US following
Addison Rae
Bella Poarch
Zach King
Will Smith
Jason Derulo
These influencers, along with many others, stand to lose significant income if a TikTok ban goes into effect. The potential financial impact of a ban would be substantial:

Direct Income Loss: Many top influencers earn millions annually from TikTok. For example, Charli D'Amelio's creator earnings were estimated at $17.5 million as of September 2023. Jason Derulo has reportedly received as much as $1.4 million for a single post.

📱 TikTok Turmoil: 170M Users at Risk, RedNote on the Rise! 🚀

As the Jan 19 deadline looms for TikTok's potential US ban, a whopping 170 million American users face digital displacement. But wait, there's a plot twist! 🔄

Enter RedNote (小红书), the Chinese social media sensation climbing the App Store charts faster than you can say "viral dance challenge." 📈

With over 500K new US users this week alone, RedNote's serving Pinterest vibes with a TikTok twist. But here's the kicker – it's mostly in Mandarin! 🇨🇳

"Learn Mandarin" searches are skyrocketing as users prep for a potential platform pivot. Talk about commitment! 💪

So, TikTok fans, are you ready to trade your FYP for a 小红书 (Little Red Book)? Or will you be exploring other digital horizons? 🤔

📣 Big News! 🐦 Twitter has today undergone a major makeover with a brand-new logo! Say goodbye to the iconic bird and say hello to the sleek and stylish 'X' logo! 😍

Elon Musk made the exciting announcement over the weekend, and the winds of change seem to blow strong. Not only has the official Twitter account changed its name and display picture to the 'X' logo, but even Musk's profile picture proudly showcases the new symbol.

But here's the twist - while Twitter embraces its fresh look, many websites still display the old bird logo. 🕊️ It's like stepping into a time machine! 🔄

So, stay ahead of the curve and watch for the 'X' logo on your favourite websites. Change is in the air, and Twitter is leading the way! 🚀💙

For every minute you spend reading this article, another £2,300 is lost to fraud in the UK.

If you’re tricked into transferring money to a scammer, pleading with your bank to cover the losses is your only hope of obtaining redress. But if bank bosses had their way, social media sites, where they say most fraud attempts originate, would have to pick up a share of the tab.

Last year, £1.2bn of customers’ money was lost to scammers, according to figures released this week, with nearly 3mn people falling victim.

Marginally lower than 2021 levels, the banks deserve plaudits for detecting and preventing a further £1.2bn of fraud. But the cost of investigating and policing suspicious transactions is mounting.

One large high street lender says fraud is a more significant cost than its branch network.

Most UK fraud originates online and AI brings a frightening new dimension to scams

WhatsApp's new feature to allow multiple devices is a much-awaited one. It enables users to log into the same WhatsApp account on up to four additional devices, making it easier to stay connected while switching instruments. Each linked phone connects to WhatsApp independently, ensuring end-to-end encryption of personal messages, media, and calls. This feature can also benefit business owners, allowing multiple employees to log into the same WhatsApp Business account and respond to customers directly. WhatsApp is also working on an alternative way to link to companion devices. Overall, it's a handy update to keep in touch with your loved ones and colleagues.

How do you feel about having to pay for a Twitter Blue Tick?
The blue tick on Twitter is a verification symbol confirming an account is authentic and belongs to a public figure, celebrity, or brand. While it may seem harmless, some argue that it has created an elitist hierarchy on the platform. Verified accounts tend to have more visibility and credibility, leading to a potential imbalance of power and influence. Additionally, the verification process has been criticized for being opaque and inconsistent, leading to accusations of favouritism. However, it's important to note that the blue tick is just one small aspect of Twitter, and while it may have its flaws, it's unlikely to be the death of the social media platform.

How are you finding the new AI chatbot on Snapchat👻

Snapchat has introduced a new feature called "My AI," a chatbot powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT. The chatbot can engage with Snapchat users and has already received almost two million chat messages per day from subscribers worldwide [1]. Users can send their Snapchats to My AI, welcome a chat reply, and even bring the bot into conversation with friends. The chatbot is designed to avoid biased or misleading responses, and users can name their personal AI bot, design their custom "Bitmoji," and ask for recommendations. However, users are warned not to rely on its advice, and there have been concerns regarding unsafe advice given to a woman posing as a 13-year-old girl. Snapchat has implemented community guidelines and protections against harmful or inappropriate content, with 99.5% of My AI responses conforming to these guidelines? Users can provide feedback to improve the user experience.

Quantum computers promise to be millions of times faster than today's fastest supercomputers, potentially revolutionizing everything from medical research to the way people solve problems of climate change. However, the wait for these machines has been extended despite the billions poured into them.
