YouTube and Meta announce new safety updates

YouTube and Meta announce new safety updates
Meta, the company that own Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Threads, announced:

it’s working with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to expand its ‘Take it Down’ initiative, which provides a simple, privacy-friendly way to address the spread of intimate images online.
they’ve partnered with Thorn on a new guide for teenagers on how they can avoid ‘sextortion’.
they’ve also added new safety notices and alerts to help users report accounts that threaten to share their private images.

YouTube also announced that they had expanded measures to help keep young users safe, including updates to its in-stream “Take a Break” prompts, a broader roll out of content restrictions for potentially harmful topics, and a new report on digital wellbeing, created in collaboration with adolescent health experts.

Just like Meta, one of our focuses is to protect our children and young people from sextortion, which is currently affecting boys and young men aged between 14 and 17. If you have a son, we have a parents guide available on the West Sussex County Council website for you to take a look at.

Pizza Rebellion rebels against users

There is a pizza machine in various locations across sussex where you can tap into a screen your order and a few minutes later its delivered, a fast food vending machine.

These are obviously popular with the numerous cheese loving junkies but as they are built inside a shipping container cause some issues with the less mobile snackers around. eg wheelchair users
