Facebook and WhatsApp group Admins could go to jail for offensive posts in India

According to a joint order issued by the district magistrate of Varanasi and the city’s police chief, offensive posts such as rumours or fake new circulated through WhatsApp or Facebook groups can land the group admin in jail.

Varanasi DM Yogeshwar Ram Mishra and SP Nitin Tiwari recently issued  a joint order that said an FIR (first investigation report) can be filed against a group administrator if factually incorrect, rumour or misleading information is circulated on his/her social media group.

The order partly reads, “there are several groups on social media which are named on news groups and also groups with other names which are propagating news and information which is not authentic. These are being forwarded without cross-checking”.

The order stated social media group administrators should be ready to bear the responsibility and ownership of the groups. The administrator must include only those members who are personally known to him or her. If any statement is made by a group member which is fake, can cause religious disharmony, or rumour, the group admin must deny it on the group and remove the member from the group.

“In the event of inaction from the group admin, he or she will be considered guilty and action will be taken against the group admin,” the order stated.

Such a post must also be reported to the nearest police station so that action can be taken against the member under the law.  A case under cyber crime law, Information Technology Act and Indian Penal Code will be filed in case of violation of these guidelines. The order also made it clear that orders of Supreme Court and various high courts will be considered while initiating action.  “While freedom of expression on social media is important, it also comes with a responsibility,” the order said.

JUST IN: Facebook to pay 110m euro fine for deceit

European Union (EU) antitrust regulators on Thursday said they would fine Facebook 110 million euros (122.4 million dollars) for providing misleading information over its purchase of messaging service WhatsApp in 2014.

Calling it a “proportionate and deterrent fine,” the European Commission, which acts as the EU’s competition watchdog, said Facebook had said it could not automatically match user accounts on its namesake platform and WhatsApp but two years later launched a service that did exactly that.

“The Commission has found that, contrary to Facebook’s statements in the 2014 merger review process, the technical possibility of automatically matching Facebook and WhatsApp users’ identities already existed in 2014, and that Facebook staff were aware of such a possibility,” the Commission said.

The commission added that the fine would not reverse the Commission’s decision to clear the purchase of WhatsApp and was unrelated to separate investigations into data protection issues.

Reuters reported on Wednesday that Facebook was set to be fined.

Fraudsters Use My big B*obs To Scam People –Roman Goddess

Ask the average Nigerian guy who is active on Instagram; he wouldn’t have a hard time telling you about internet sensation, Roman Goddess.

With the handle, @roman goddess she has over 200, 000 followers and going by the volume of likes and comments all her posts attract, it shows that many of her social media fans are active.

Roman Goddess is so frontally endowed that it would be very difficult for her to pass in front of a man without driving attention. Balanced on a nice hip and big b*tt, she is a sight for sore eyes.

However, she is not happy at the moment. And that’s because some scammers are defrauding people online with her sexy pictures. Posting several screenshots of the fake accounts on her Instagram page, she warned her followers not to have interactions with them. In one of the posts, she wrote, “I don’t have a Facebook account.”

Responding to a fan, Roman Goddess said, “Many of these scammers are taking advantage of my big b**bs and sexy curves to defraud people. I am only on Instagram and my followers know my real account.”

Facebook begins crack down on spam websites

On Wednesday, Facebook announced plans to start cracking down on links to "low-quality" web pages as part of the company's plan to show people "fewer misleading posts, and more informative posts." Facebook is starting with the ratio of ads to actual content; a page with too many ads and not enough original text or images is considered spam.

If a site's ads are "disruptive, shocking, or malicious," Facebook will make sure fewer people can see and click on it. The company continues to explain that the links aren't being banned; if you post one it will still appear on your wall but their news feed ranking will drop and they will be seen by far fewer people if anyone at all.

The changes will happen over the next few months, and Facebook says it could mean a boost in traffic for publishers that produce quality content.

Two teenagers arrested for murder after posting Facebook Live video where they 'beat student to death'

Serena McKay was brutally assaulted in clip - which was streaming on social media for nearly four hours before it was ordered to be taken down.

Two teenage girls have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a video on was posted on Facebook live of a fellow student being beaten to death.

The unidentified Canadian teenagers, aged 16 and 17, shared the disturbing footage to their social media page as well as a private instant messaging app, according to authorities.

The victim, 19-year-old Serena McKay, was last seen by her family Sunday, April 23, the same day she was found dead nearby the home, reports the New York Daily News.

McKay, who was due to graduate next month, was heard in the recorded video crying out to her perpetrators, “I'm so sorry.”

The footage was left streaming on Facebook for nearly four hours before it was ordered to be taken down, according to a CBC report.

It comes as Facebook has faced criticism for not doing enough to address the issue of brutal crime on the video streaming service.

Principal of Sagkeeng Anicinab High, Claude Guimond alleged drugs may have been a factor in what he described as a "violent assault".

"After seeing what I saw on the video, you know what? There's nobody in their right mind [who] would do something like that, unless they were extremely high on whatever and just totally, like, out of it," Guimond told the newspaper.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are currently investigating the incident, as well as "a case of mistaken identity" which involved officers grabbing and handcuffing the wrong 16-year-old suspect at a local bus stop.

"Once it was learned that it was not the correct person, she was released immediately," police said in a statement.

The mistakenly arrested teen’s parents have since filed a formal complaint on the incident.

Dad 'tries to hang his daughter on Facebook' - but police don't even charge him

The latest incident in Thailand comes after a man from Phuket broadcast himself hanging his 11-month-old daughter in a livestream on the social media site before taking his own life

A dad has 'tried to hang' his five-year-old daughter on Facebook Live - in the second such incident in the country in less than a WEEK.

The latest incident in Phetchabun, Thailand, comes after a man from Phuket broadcast himself hanging his 11-month-old baby daughter in a livestream on the social media site - before taking his own life.

In the Phetchabun case, the dad is reported to have 'threatened to kill his daughter' - and indicating he was about to hang her - at their home as people watched via Facebook Live on Friday.

The father was heard to say in the video: “This rope will send me and my daughter to a better place”.

Local police are however now being criticised for letting the father, Wichai Kwanprom, off the hook without pressing charges against him.

As his daughter began to cry he let her go and ended the livestream.

Pol. Lt. Col. Kritsanapong Patsit, deputy commander of Wangpong Police, said Wichai was questioned, had his “attitude adjusted" - so they released him.

According to police, Wichai said he did not intend to hurt his daughter or himself, but rather only wanted to get his wife’s attention.

The child is now in the care of his older sister.

Wichai said that he works in Bangkok and sends his money back to his wife and daughter.

Local reports say that he had suspected his wife of cheating, came home last week to find his daughter abandoned at their home - and his wife allegedly having left to be with another man.

Wichai said that he has received support from his relatives since the incident.

He apologised to the public and promised to fight for his daughter and not repeat his actions.

Meanwhile, the family of Beta, the 11-month-old baby who was killed by her father in Phuket, mourned her death at the burial on Saturday.

Homeless men and their dog found living rough in a car park are mocked by cruel jibes – until a kind-hearted stranger stepped in to help

TWO HOMELESS men and their dog found living rough in a car park were mocked by cruel trolls until a kind-hearted stranger stepped in to help.

A picture of the pair sleeping in the multi-storey in Gloucester city centre was posted to a community Facebook page by accident and people began making fun of them.

Steve Currie, from Gloucester, was so appalled at the comments he decided to launch a fundraising page to get £1,000 to try and help them.

He said: “I’ve always wanted to help homeless people but wasn’t sure how and when I saw a photo on the Gloucester spotted page that someone posted making fun of these 2 homeless people in a car park I decided to take action.

“I set a target of £1,000 but in a perfect world I’d like to raise enough to get them off the streets permanently.”

He’s set up a GoFundMe page with the aim of helping the mystery man and his dog get back on their feet.
On the page he wrote: “I saw this guy being made fun of on social media by someone going past in their nice warm car in a Gloucester car park and decided to do something about it.

“I’ve always wanted to help the homeless but didn’t know how. I’m hoping to raise £1000 and hope it makes some kind of difference to him, but anything would be good. Hopefully the power of social media can change his life. No one should be living like this in 2017.”
The appeal has already raised more than £280 and has prompted some more constructive and supportive comments online.

Facebook has addressed occurrences of murder and suicide reports on its platform.

In a statement released by the company, it said such content had no place on the platform.

“This is an appalling incident and our hearts go out to the family of the victims. There is absolutely no place for content of this kind on Facebook and it has now been removed,” the statement said.

Facebook recently updated the tools and resources offered to people who might be thinking of suicide, as well as the support it offered to their concerned friends and family members, which included integrated suicide prevention tools to help people in real time on Facebook Live.

“If someone posts something on Facebook that makes you feel  about their well-being, you can reach out to them directly or report the post to Facebook. The company has teams working around the world, 24/7, who review reports that come in and prioritise the most serious reports like suicide,” the statement said.

It also said, “Facebook provides people who have expressed suicidal thoughts with a number of support options. For example, it prompts people to reach out to a friend and even offer pre-populated text to make it easier for people to start a conversation. Facebook also suggests contacting a helpline and offers other tips and resources for people to help themselves in that moment.

“Suicide prevention tools have been available on Facebook for more than 10 years and were developed in collaboration with mental health organisations such as Save.org, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Forefront and Crisis Text Line, and with input from people who have personal experience thinking about or attempting suicide.

• Man kills baby daughter on Facebook Live

“In 2016, Facebook expanded the availability of the latest tools globally – with the help of over 70 partners around the world – and improved how they work based on new technology and feedback from the community.”

Facebook said it was also aware of at least four recent instances in which friends that saw the streams and alerted authorities interrupted attempted suicides streamed on live.

In addition to improving Facebook’s reporting flows, the company said it was constantly exploring ways that new technologies could help make sure that Facebook was a safe environment.

“Artificial Intelligence, for example, plays an important part in this work, helping Facebook prevent the videos from being re-shared in their entirety. The company is also working on improving its review processes,” the company said

Fears over fake Bieber and Styles accounts

Law enforcement officers have been warning BBC Trending radio about a growing number of social media accounts wrongly purporting to be teen idols like Harry Styles and Justin Bieber, speaking inappropriately to young children.

The growing world of social media apps with big teenage audiences has made the situation even more difficult to police, they say.

"Identity assumption by child sex offenders is increasing quite steadily," Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, who runs task force Argos, a specialist branch responsible for tackling online child exploitation in Queensland, Australia, told us.

Detective Inspector Rouse led a recent investigation that led to a 42-year-old man, who allegedly posed as Canadian singer Justin Bieber on a number of social media platforms in order to gain indecent images of children, being charged with more than 900 child sex offences.

"The fact that so many children across the world could believe that they were talking to Justin Bieber, and that Justin Bieber would make them do the things that they did, is really quite concerning," he says, "I think a re-evaluation of the way we educate children about safe online behaviour is really needed."

One mother of an 8-year-old girl, who has asked to remain anonymous, told BBC Trending that her daughter had downloaded a popular social media app for just two days before she was approached by an account impersonating a celebrity.

"The first message was inviting you to enter a competition and to win it you get a five minute chat (with the celebrity)," she says.

"And then the second message that came up was along the lines of 'all you need to do is send me a photo of you naked or of your vagina.' And then all these messages flew across the screen.

"Then the third message said 'don't worry about it. All the girls are sending me these photos. Just do it. It'll be our secret'. And then the last message was 'do it now'."
