Facebook

Social media platform, Facebook will now regularly update users about its work on maintaining privacy on its family of apps via a dedicated Page.

The Facebook Page on privacy will have in-depth posts on some of the "hard technical questions we encounter, to actions we're taking against those who try to undermine privacy on our platform".

The social network has faced several privacy-related scandals in the past that led to intense scrutiny and penalties. In a historic judgment, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last July slapped a massive $5 billion fine on Facebook over users' privacy violations in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Facebook said that in the dedicated Page, it would explain improvements it makes to further protect people's privacy.

"We will continue to share how we design privacy into our products, highlight advances we make to the technology that keeps people's information safe and provide more transparency into things we find and fix," said the company.

The company said it would report on its privacy practices to the newly formed Privacy Committee on its Board of Directors.

"And an independent, third-party assessor will review our practices and report on them to the Privacy Committee and the FTC," said Facebook.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last year directed the social networking platform to pay $100 million penaltyfor making misleading disclosures regarding the risk of misuse of user data.

Detectives in Lurgan are currently investigation recent reports of sextortion in the area.

While no specific details on the incidents were revealed by the PSNI, they have issued advice to potential victims.

They say they are committed to fully investigating this type of crime when it is reported to them; however, they want to do all they can to raise awareness so this doesnt happen at all. They also need victims of sextortion to report it.

Sextortion is a form of blackmail where a perpetrator threatens to reveal intimate images of the victim online unless they give in to their demands.

These demands are typically for money or further intimate images. Criminals might befriend victims online by using a fake identity and then persuade them to perform sexual acts in front of their webcam.

Criminals who then threaten to share the images with the victims friends and family. This can make the victims feel embarrassed and ashamed, and prevent them from coming forward to report the incident.

Perpetrators can be located anywhere, targeting a number of people, targeting victims through dating apps, social media or webcams. Many are based overseas. For the criminal, this is a low risk way to make money and they can reach many victims easily online. Criminals will always exploit any opportunity to extort money from unsuspecting members of our community but together we can stop it.

A PSNI spokesperson said: We believe these types of crimes are generally under reported and that in some cases, people prefer to pay money rather than contact police.

We would urge anyone who has been the victim of cyber related blackmail to come forward and report it to police on 101 or 999 in an emergency.

Even though it may be embarrassing, anybody who is the victim of such a crime should be reassured that we are able to deal with it.

PSNI advice on online safety:

Do not share intimate videos online. Do not get lured into compromising situations such as removing clothes or performing intimate acts online. Always remember that what goes online may well stay online Be wary about who you invite or accept invitations from on social networking sites. Do not accept friendship requests from complete strangers Update the privacy settings on your social networking accounts so only people you know can view your account Do not include any sensitive, private or confidential information in profiles If you use online dating sites, choose those that offer the ability to email prospective dates using a service that conceals both parties true email addresses Also on dating sites, set up a separate email account that does not use your real name. This is very simple and quick to do using such providers as Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or Gmail Quickly block nuisance and fraudulent users from further contact with you and also report them for abuse If you become a victim of this type of scam, do not respond to the blackmailers demands, but report the issue to the police and the relevant social networking site If you think that you have been persuaded by anyone to part with payment details, contact your bank or card issuer immediately

Social Networking - Tutorialspoint

The first social media site to reach a million monthly active users was MySpace it achieved this milestone around 2004. This is arguably the beginning of social media as we know it.1

In the interactive chart below we plot monthly active users, by platform, since 2004. You can use the slider to focus on particular years, and you can click the + Add option to change series and track the evolution of other social media platforms.

This chart shows that there are some large social media sites that have been around for ten or more years, such as Facebook, YouTube and Reddit; but other large sites are much newer.

TikTok, for example, launched in September 2016 and by mid-2018 it had already reached half a billion users. To put this in perspective: TikTok gained on average about 20 million new users per month over this period.

The data also shows rapid changes in the opposite direction. Once-dominant platforms have disappeared. In 2008, Hi5, MySpace and Friendster were close competitors to Facebook, yet by 2012 they had virtually no share of the market. The case of MySpace is remarkable considering that in 2006 it temporarily surpassed Google as the most visited website in the US.

Most of the social media platforms that survived the last decade have shifted significantly in what they offer users. Twitter, for example, didnt allow users to upload videos or images in the beginning. Since 2011 this is possible and today more than 50% of the content viewed on Twitter includes images and videos.
