Big Tech's Day of Reckoning: What the Meta and Google Verdicts Really Mean

In the span of just 48 hours this week, two separate juries in two different US states delivered verdicts that could reshape the entire social media industry — not because of the dollar amounts involved, but because of what those verdicts legally establish for the first time. On Tuesday, March 24, a jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $375 million for failing to protect children from sexual exploitation on Facebook and Instagram. Less than 24 hours later, on Wednesday, March 25, a jury in Los Angeles found both Meta and Google (YouTube) liable for engineering addiction in young users — finding them negligent in the design of their platforms and awarding a further $6 million in damages. Two days. Two states. Two juries. Both pointing at the same conclusion: that Big Tech can no longer hide behind the legal shields it has relied on for nearly three decades. This is the story of what happened, why it matters far beyond the headline numbers, and what comes next for the s...

Manage multiple Twitter accounts with one Mail ID

This comes in handy for people who have different accounts for business and personal Tweets. You know how it is. You have an account where you speak about your company and keep it official but also have another account to Tweet all your personal thoughts. Twitter on the other hand will not allow you to create more than one account per email ID which means to create another account you would need to use another mail ID which makes things all a bit too tedious.  So here is a simple workaround and works only with Gmail.

So you can use x.yz@gmail.com or you can use x.y.z@gmail.com and all mail will be delivered to the originial mail ID which is xyz@gmail.com. So this is what you use to trick Twitter. Twitter will consider xyz@gmail.com and x.yz@gmail.com as two separate and valid email addresses and even though both point to the ...

Tips and Tricks for Twitter

Twitter Guide : Learn some interesting tips and tricks for Twitter. Q:  Can I respond directly to someone’s tweet? What’s the difference between an @reply and a direct message? A:  You can respond to people one of two ways: with direct messages, which are private, 140-character exchanges, or with @replies, which are publicly viewable. You can send a ‘@reply’ by simply adding the ‘@’ symbol and the particular user’s name to the beginning of your message (example: “@switched: I really liked that article on Twitter!”). These @replies are ideal for furthering a public dialogue. On the other hand, direct messages, which you can send by clicking ‘Direct Messages’ in the Web site’s right-hand bar (or by preceding a text message with ‘d’ and the user name), are better for things you want to say to an individual, rather than the whole ‘Twitterverse.’ Q:  What is ReTweeting? A:  ReTweets are re-posted updates that give credit to the originator of the message. In other words, you’re simply cuttin...
