"'Pay attention to Georgia on Monday,' as there is a 'big endorsement coming.'" #Mediabuzz," added Miller.

After being banned from the social networking platforms Trump's office put out a statement on the controversial far-rightuserbase Gab on February 5.

Donald Trump to return to social media with OWN platform in 2-3 months thatll redefine the game, says... - The Sun

The US Supreme Court declined to consider an appeal by Facebook that would have derailed a $15-billion (roughly Rs. 1,08,590 crore) lawsuit over whether it illegally tracked users about a decade ago.

The nation's top court issued an order denying a request by the leading social network to review a California federal court's decision to allow the litigation accusing Facebook of violating wiretap laws.

Facebook did not respond to a request for comment.

It had argued in court filings that it was a legitimate "party" for exchanges involving digital content received from software tools such as "like" or "share" buttons plugged into other websites.

"Rather than eavesdropping on a separate communication, the communication with Facebook contained distinct content intended for Facebook," the leading social network said in a legal filing.

US wiretap law makes it illegal to snoop on electronic communications unless one is a party to the exchange.

The suit accuses Facebook of wrongly tracking users away from the social network, then making money from the data by selling it to marketers for targeting ads.

The class action lawsuit consolidated more than 20 related cases filed in an array of US states in 2011 and early 2012 and seeks more than $15 billion (roughly Rs. 1,08,590 crore)on behalf of members of the world's largest social network.

Facebook has since changed the way it uses software snippets such as like and share buttons that gather information about users' Internet activities.

The Silicon Valley tech giant added that allowing the case to proceed would have "sweeping, and detrimental consequences."

Critics and regulators have repeatedly taken aim at Facebook over user privacy.

I think were going to see President Trump back on social media with his own site in two months, Jason Miller told Fox News.

He only mentioned several meetings in Mar-e-Lago, the Republican billionaires residence in Florida, and did not want to go into further details about the plans for this site.

Its not just one company approaching the president, there are many companies, and this new site will be huge, everyone will love it, it will bring millions and millions, tens of thousands of subscribers to this new site, he added.

Twitter, the New York businessmans main communications tool, deleted the @realDonaldTrump account and its 88 million subscribers after his supporters attacked Capital on January 6.

The former president, who left the White House on January 20 after being defeated by Democrat Joe Biden in the November election, has been temporarily or permanently blocked by the Internet on other major social networking sites or sites, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Snapshot. .

Since then, although he has been very influential within the Republican Party and has not refused to run for president, medieval and thunderous news of American political career have been rarely heard in recent years.

Launches first-of-a-kind safety guide to equip and empower women in India to recognize, prevent and combat digital abuse 83% of women in India experience online harassment of some kind, 1 in 3 women experience it weekly 70% of women believe cyberbullying increased since lockdown in 2020 Mumbai, March 24, 2021: Bumble, the women-first social networking app, has launched a new initiative 'Stand for Safety' as part of its mission to create a safer, kinder and more respectful internet. In response to ever-growing safety concerns, Bumble is releasing a safety guide, in partnership with Safecity, Red Dot Foundation's flagship public safety platform, to empower women in India to identify, prevent and combat rising digital abuse.

Through this initiative, Bumble continues to demonstrate its commitment to a zero-tolerance policy for hate, aggression, or bullying of any kind. "Through Bumble's Stands for Safety initiative, we hope to equip and empower women in India with crucial information to understand and recognize, prevent and fight digital abuse. We are happy to collaborate with Safecity who has been doing incredible work on creating safer spaces for women worldwide. We will continue to demonstrate our commitment to creating safer, healthy relationships on our platform and in our communities." commented Priti Joshi, VP of Global Strategy & Operations at Bumble.

A recent nationwide survey by Bumble found 83% of women surveyed in India experience online harassment of some kind, and 1 in 3 women experience it weekly. A further 70% of women believe that cyberbullying increased since lockdown was announced in 2020. Over half (59%) of women surveyed said they feel unsafe and just under half (48%) feel angry.

Speaking on the partnership, ElsaMarie D'Silva, Founder, Red Dot Foundation, commented "We are excited to partner with Bumble and create awareness on digital rights and online safety. Many women are silenced and intimidated in online spaces due to harassment and bullying directed towards them. Today's environment requires everyone to be comfortable and knowledgeable when accessing and utilizing digital spaces for various aspects of life. We hope our safety guide will help them navigate these spaces safely and confidently." Bumble is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space for its community to connect for healthy and equitable relationships. As a geographic-specific feature for the Bumble community in India, a woman can choose to use only the first initial of her name to create her Bumble Date profile and can share her full name with connections when she feels ready and comfortable. Bumble has a robust block and report feature within the app, and has made it easy for its community to block and report anyone who makes them uncomfortable on our app, or anyone whose behaviour goes against our Community Guidelines. Bumble also has a photo verification feature to help prevent catfishing within the app.

Another Bumble feature that leverages AI, Private Detector can capture, blur and alert users that they've been sent an unsolicited nude image making it the user's choice to either delete, view, or report the image. Bumble recently updated its terms and conditions to explicitly ban any unsolicited and derogatory comments made about someone's appearance, body shape, size, or health and became one of the first social networking apps to ban body shaming. The app uses automated safeguards to detect comments and images that go against its guidelines and terms and conditions, which can then be escalated to a human moderator to review. Bumble's community in India can also access the safety guide within the app under its recently launched Safety + wellbeing center, a resource hub built to help our global community to provide them with a safe and healthy dating experience.

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to return to social media with his own platform.

Former President Donald Trump plans to return to social media in the coming months with his own platform, a Trump adviser told Fox News on Sunday.

Jason Miller, a former Trump administration senior adviser, told Fox News's Mediabuzz that Trump would be "returning to social media in probably about two or three months" with "his own platform." Miller added that Trump's platform would attract "tens of millions" of new users and "completely redefine the game."

"This is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media," Miller said. "It's going to completely redefine the game and everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what President Trump does, but it will be his own platform."

Trump was essentially banished from the most popular social media platforms in January. Twitter and Facebook blocked President Donald Trump from posting on their sites after his supporters stormed the US Capitol, sparking violence and halting the process to certify the election of President Joe Biden. Snapchat also took action and locked Trump's account.

The actions came amid an increasingly urgent clamor for the social networks to deal with the president's use of their platforms to spread misinformation, stir grievance and incite violence. Before the bans were announced, Trump posted several messages to Twitter and Facebook that included baseless claims about election fraud. A video of Trump repeating those claims was removed from both platforms out of concern it would contribute to more violence.

During his four years as president, Trump was anotoriously provocative tweeter who redefined politics by using Twitter to sidestep official channels and traditional media. Twitter frequently left up Trump posts with content that breaks its rules against things like abusive behavior or glorifying violence, reasoning that they were in the public interest.

Twitter eventually began obscuring Trump tweets containing misinformation about the election and coronavirus with a warning label that included a link to more information or context. Users would have to click a View link in the alert label to read the post.

Twitter Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal said last month that Trump's ban would stay in place, even if he ran for office again.

"Our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence, and if anybody does that we have to remove them from the service and our policies don't allow people to come back," Segal said.

Throughout his president, Trump had a contentious relationship with social media giants, complaining that social media sites demonstrate a bias against conservative voices. In 2018, he accused Twitter of shadow banning conservatives. Twitter said it was a bug. Shadow banning refers to the practice of making a comment or post visible only to the user who created it.

Representatives for the former president couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
