SappChat: Providing Safe Communications and Financial Operations on the Blockchain – GlobeNewswire

TALLINN, Estonia, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobile applications have become an integral part of today's phones that contain multimedia features such as text/audio/video chats, group chats, message notifications, status updates, and media sharing. The average smartphone user spends 82 percent of his/her time on email communication, social interaction, and entertainment. Smartphones are an integral part of lives in the 21st century, with more than 3.5 billion mobile phone users worldwide.

Due to its characteristics, the use of mobile applications exceeds the use of social networking websites, with the most prominent applications being WhatsApp (with over a billion users), WeChat (with more than 900 million Chinese users), Facebook Messenger (over 1.3 billion users) and Viber (with 800 million registered users and 260 million active users).

However, it seems that today no communications and financial operations are private and safe anymore. Practically any mobile messaging application transfers our most private messages to the servers of the companies that operate them, where our text messages, photographs, audio, and video recordings and feed are processed, mined, and analyzed by advanced algorithms that have only one aim profiting the company at the expense of our most private moments, and more generally our lives.

Once we click the "record" or the "send" buttons, the contents are not within our control. Company employees can view and read them. AI can process them to offer us advertisements literally in every online channel, and data about us can be sold to other parties. Further, governments worldwide eavesdrop on our most private conversations as a part of the terms that allow mobile messaging companies to operate within their borders, and messaging in oppressive regimes can cost a person's freedom.

Mobile payments, money transfers, and shopping are not excluded from these types of privacy violations in most countries worldwide. Financial institutes are successfully hacked, and data are distributed online or sold through the Darknet. Uploading lists of credit card details and other payment methods to the Internet has become a norm. Banks are required to disclose any data on customers and transactions to/from their accounts should any government agency desire to receive them.

This description is not taken from a science fiction book. This is the reality in which we live, communicate and operate unsafely and with no privacy rights concerning our interpersonal communications and financial transfers.

Everything The Social Network Got Wrong About The True Story – Looper

The Social Network opens with Mark getting dumped by his girlfriend, Erica Albright (Rooney Mara). Upset over the breakup, Mark goes back to his Harvard dorm room and blogs about Erica, including many insulting remarks about her. Soon after blogging, Mark begins working on a website called Facemash, created to compare the physical features of female campus students, after hacking into the university's database. The website blows up in popularity, grabbing the attention of twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer). They approach Mark about helping them with a social networking site exclusive to Harvard students. Mark agrees to help them, but instead works on his own similar project, which becomes Facebook.

In reality, the origins of the site were not the same. It's true that Zuckerberg wrote a negative blog post about a woman who may or may not have been an ex-girlfriend although they changed the name mentioned in his post for the film and he did create Facemash, which was taken down by Harvard and led to Zuckerberg facing expulsion (via SlashFilm and ScreenRant). However, according to Vanity Fair, Facemash used photos of both men and women for attractiveness comparisons.

During aQ&A session, Zuckerberg claims he did not create Facebook to "attract girls." He brings up how he's known his wife, Priscilla Chan, since before he started Facebook. If he had the same motivations as the film portrays, his wife likely wouldn't have continued dating him or eventually marry him. According to the Vanity Fair piece, this statement is true: Zuckerberg started dating Chan in 2003, which is the year the film begins. In the Q&A, Zuckerberg insists he made Facebook because he wanted to "help connect the world."

Fawad apologises over social media suspension – The News International

ISLAMABAD: The social media sites were blocked in extreme circumstances and every effort will be made to prevent a shutdown in future, Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry said.

The newly-appointed information minister also regretted the blockage of social media sites across the country from 11am to 3pm on Friday.

He also promised that he will try his best that the measure is not taken again in the future

"I regret the three-hour suspension of social media and seek an apology over it," the minister said in a statement.

"Every effort will be made to prevent a shutdown of social media in the future," he added.

Daily routine across the country had been disrupted during the past few days as supporters of a religiopolitical party took to the streets and staged sit-ins and violent protests in major cities.

At least three people lost their lives, including two policemen, during the ensuing skirmishes between protesters and law enforcement agencies. Hundreds of policemen were injured in attacks by the protesters, some seriously.

On Friday, the interior ministry had directed the telecom regulator to shut social networking sites from 11am till 3pm in a bid to maintain law and order in the country. Officials later said they had feared another wave of protests post Jumma prayers.

Chaudhry promised that those found involved in violence against law enforcement personnel will be brought to book.

"The miscreants will fail in their nefarious designs," he said, adding the government cannot be blackmailed through a show of force.

He said the government handled the situation wisely and thwarted violent protests.

"The role played by the interior and religious ministries, LEAs and the provincial governments is commendable," he said.

Fawad added that the masses offered the first Friday prayers of Ramadan peacefully while traffic is now normal on all main roads in the country.
