Survey finds more than half of US respondents have blocked a family member on Facebook

new survey, researchers found that more than half of respondents have blocked at least one family member on Facebook, with 54.8% of survey users admitting to blocking the person on the social media platform.The survey, conducted by Time2play earlier this month, asked over 2,000 users of Facebook and Instagram in the United States if and why they blocked a family member on social media. According to the results, 46.4% of respondents cited the posting of "hateful, toxic or problematic things" as the top reason for blocking the person. Meanwhile, other top reasons include sharing fake news (43.5%) and positing too much political content (41.4%).In this photo illustration the Social networking site Facebook is displayed on a laptop screen (Credit: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images) On Instagram, the study found only 25.8% of Instagram users admit to blocking a family member on the platform. As for why Instagram users block their family members, we found they were motivated by concealing their own content from family members, rather than avoiding what their family members were posting.The study also found that the average age of an Instagram user who has blocked a family member was 26.1 years, compared to 32.7 years old for those who have blocked a family member on Facebook.Facebook currently boasts over 240 million active users in the U.S.

Pennsylvania family files lawsuit against TikTok after attorney says girl died trying social media challenge

PHILADELPHIA - A Delaware County family is suing TikTok after a young girl died while attempting a social media challenge they claim that she saw on the app. The family of 10-year-old Nylah Anderson, who died in December, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the social media giant Thursday in Philadelphia. Attorney Jeffrey Goodman, a partner at the firm representing the Anderson family, called TikTok a "dangerously popular app" and warned that what happened to Nylah could happen to any child. "The nature of the lawsuit is that TikTok, through their algorithms, decided that it was a good decision to send a how-to video to a 10-year-old on how to asphyxiate oneself," Goodman said.He explained that TikTok is unique from other social media apps and websites like YouTube. TikTok's "whole business model," according to Goodman, centers around its ‘For You' page, a section of the app that procures content based on a user's viewing habits."With TikTok you see the videos that it puts in front of you and the purpose of the algorithm is to try and get users hooked," Goodman said.

Elon Musk's big plans for Twitter: What we know so far

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Tesla CEO Elon Musk has laid out some bold, if still vague, plans for transforming Twitter into a place of "maximum fun" once he buys the social media platform for $44 billion and takes it private.But enacting what at the moment are little more than a mix of vague principles and technical details could be considerably more complicated than he suggests.Here's what might happen if Musk follows through on his ideas about free speech, fighting spam and opening up the "black box" of artificial intelligence tools that amplify social media trends.Musk's feistiest priority -- but also the one with the vaguest roadmap -- is to make Twitter a "politically neutral" digital town square for the world's discourse that allows as much free speech as each country's laws allow. He's acknowledged that his plans to reshape Twitter could anger the political left and mostly please the right. He hasn't specified exactly what he'll do about former President Donald Trump's permanently banned account or other right-wing leaders whose tweets have run afoul of the company's restrictions against hate speech, violent threats or harmful misinformation. A rancher is offering 100 acres of free land to Elon Musk if he moves the Twitter headquarters from California to Schwertner, Texas.DOWNLOAD: FOX 7 AUSTIN NEWS APPShould Musk go this direction, it could mean bringing back not only Trump, but "many, many others that were removed as a result of QAnon conspiracies, targeted harassment of journalists and activists, and of course all of the accounts that were removed after Jan.

LOS ANGELES - Comic book lovers rejoice! Based on the popular graphic novel, the movie "Corrective Measures" debuted Friday on FOX’s free streaming platform Tubi. Written and directed by Sean Patrick O’Reilly (the "Howard Lovecraft" films), the movie is set in San Tiburon, the world’s most dangerous maximum-security penitentiary, holding the most treacherous superpowered criminals, monsters and supervillains on the planet.As the inmates' tension with the prison staff builds, "The Conductor," played by Tom Cavanagh ("The Flash") sends shocks through the prison system."I’ve always sort-of had a soft spot for a prison-break movie, which sounds like a weird sentence, but it’s really true," Cavanagh told FOX TV Stations Group on Friday. Tom Cavanagh stars in 'Corrective Measures' which streams free on Tubi. (Credit: Tubi/FOX) The 58-year-old actor discussed his character’s evolving development throughout the film, with order eventually turning upside down."It’s nice because he starts off as one thing," Cavanagh continued, adding "But after awhile, dude’s had enough."

FBI warns teen boys increasingly targeted in online 'sextortion' schemes

FBI is warning parents that teen boys are increasingly being targeted in online "sextortion" schemes. FBI Boston Division’s Child Exploitation-Human Trafficking Task Force warned parents and caregivers on Wednesday about an increasing number of reports of adults posing as young girls who coerce young boys through social media to produce sexual images and videos and then extort them for money. In the so-called "sextortion" schemes that have recently become more prevalent, adult predators pretending to be young girls contact young males usually between the ages of 14 and 17 online over any platform used to meet and communicate, such as a game, app or social media accounts. They then use "deception and manipulation" to convince the young males to engage in explicit activity over video, which is then secretly recorded by the predator, the FBI says.

How you watch Netflix might change as the company tries to recoup losses

Netflix’s share value plummeted this week on the news that the streaming platform lost roughly 200,000 subscribers in the last quarter.The Los Gatos, Calif., company also told investors to expect deeper losses in the months ahead, signalling that the days of unlimited growth for the streaming pioneer might be over.It’s a far cry from two years ago, when lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic were forcing consumers indoors with little else to do than watch Netflix.Now, not only is the global economy reopening to consumers eager to take in concerts and activities outside the home, but the streaming landscape has filled up with competitors launching or expanding their offerings to take more of the pie from Netflix. Netflix Canada raises prices to start 2022 The company showed in a letter to shareholders this week that while its share of the overall streaming market grew over the past year, so too has the amount taken up by Disney+, Amazon Prime, and assorted other on-demand platforms, including traditional cable giants launching their own collections.“Two years into the pandemic, the streaming market is a very different place,” says Carmi Levy, a Canadian tech analyst who’s been following Netflix’s struggles.As Netflix sees its subscriber growth dwindle and even start to reverse, Levy says the company has less free rein to jack up its subscription prices to offset revenue losses, lest it risk pushing consumers into the hands of an increasingly tight market.“It takes a lot less for consumers to drop one service and move to another,” he says.

The suspect then left the station, walking back towards the street.

In January, Johnson, 46, and his wife Dawn Chavous, 40, were indicted on fraud charges in what officials called a "widespread corruption conspiracy."

Chavous is accused of entering into a "sham" consulting agreement with a nonprofit that was used to funnel payments to her husband, authorities say. Before being indicted, Johnson released a statement saying, "First, let me be clear: I am innocent.

Elon Musk’s Twitter bid prompts company to adopt ‘poison pill’ defence

Twitter said Friday that its board of directors has unanimously adopted a “poison pill” defense in response to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s proposal to buy the company for more than $43 billion and take it private.The move would allow existing Twitter shareholders _ except for Musk _ to buy additional shares at a discount, thereby diluting Musk’s stake in the company and making it harder for him to corral a majority of shareholder votes in favor of the acquisition.Twitter’s plan would take effect if Musk’s roughly 9% stake grows to 15% or more. Elon Musk wants Twitter to be ‘the platform for free speech.’ What about misinformation? The poison pill injects another twist into a melodrama surrounding the possibility of the world’s richest person taking over a social media platform he described Thursday as the world’s “de facto town square.”Twitter said its plan would reduce the likelihood that any one person can gain control of the company without either paying shareholders a premium or giving the board more time to evaluate an offer.

Sextortion warning: Cases of predators getting images, money from teenage boys on the rise, FBI says

PHILADELPHIA - The FBI Newark Field Office is warning parents about an increase in reports of sextortion involving teenage boys. According to the agency, sextortion is an online crime that involves contact between a minor and an adult on an online platform, such as a gaming website or social media."The adult predator or scammer convinces the child to share sexual images or video and then threatens to post the content unless the victim sends more content or money," the FBI said. According to federal authorities, the most recent increase in cases mainly targets teenage boys between the age of 14 and 17. The field office says the coercion of a child by an adult to produce child sexual abuse material carries heavy penalties, including a possible life sentence for offenders. "To make victimization stop, children typically have to come forward to someone - normally a parent, teacher, caregiver, or law enforcement," the FBI said. "The embarrassment children feel from the activity where they were coerced or enticed to engage in is what typically prevents them from coming forward." The agency is urging victims to come forward to help stop extortion offenders, who may have hundreds of victims around the world. "We want parents, teachers, other relatives, anyone who is in a child’s life, to be aware," said Special Agent in Charge George M.
