It’s a text based microblogging app that can be integrated with Instagram, but will also be a stand-alone app. Tyla: Well, Instagram have announced a new feature coming to the platform this summer. Tyla: Completely by coincidence, I’m sure!Ĭolin: Of course! But copyright around social media features is pretty complicated – there’s not really any law, as such, that stops one social media company copying a feature of another. When a feature works really well on one social media platform, we sometimes see a very similar feature pop up on one of the others… So, Colin, we know that social media websites often appear to copy each other’s features.Ĭolin: Yes. Tyla: Well, let’s see if we’re talking about this again in six months then! Tyla: And Meta have also been told they have to stop transferring users’ data the US within the next five months.Ĭolin: Yes and they have been given six months to remove any data they already have from their US servers. – This is despite a previous ruling by the European court of justice back in 2020 that robust protections must be put in place. This time, the fine is about how their platform Facebook transfers the data of EU users to the US without proper safeguarding. This is actually their fifth fine by the Irish regulator. One of the biggest stories has been about Meta, who have been fined 1.2 billion euros for mishandling data by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission.Ĭolin: It may well and that’s because this isn’t the first time that Meta have faced fines for how they handle the data of users in Ireland. Tyla: Sounds good – let’s get started with some social media news! Colin?Ĭolin: It’s actually been quite a social media-heavy news week. Tyla: And I’m Tyla! What are we talking about in this week’s episode, Colin?Ĭolin: Today, we’re discussing fines facing Meta, TikTok pranks and online challenges, and how one child racked up a hefty bank bill on Roblox. Colin: Hello listeners, welcome to Safeguarding Soundbites, the podcast that brings you the latest in safeguarding news and alerts.
