News & Reviews:   social media platform

Bluesky today shared several developments on its platform, including stating that its platform now has 40 million registered users. The number of active users was not disclosed, but it shows the healthy development of the platform.

When you browse through social media, you'll often come across content that are just no good. This includes cyberbullying, discrimination, insults, and scams. Case in point, this tasteless joke about the missing MH370 flight by stand-up comedian Jocelyn Chia that went viral earlier today. She has since deactivated some of her social media accounts, but the backlash was bad.

As you can tell, this is a classic example of a social media content that's unacceptable. And there are plenty of these, especially on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. It's important to know how you can report them, so here's how you can report posts on most social media platforms.

The FIFA World Cup ended with team Argentina bringing home the iconic solid gold trophy. However, the joy of seeing their favourite team win is still not over with Instagram users, as many tapped twice on Lionel Messi's picture of him holding the trophy, making it the most-liked post in Instagram's history.

Elon Musk might have figured out a solution to solve the Twitter Blue fiasco. The current Twitter CEO says that the company will implement a new manual authentication process, which he described as "painful, but necessary."

Popular social media platform Twitter is rolling out a new feature that will allow users to combine text, photos, videos and GIFs in one tweet. Available on both the iOS and Android versions of the Twitter app, the feature was announced by the platform today via a statement.

Previously, we reported that popular social media platform Twitter is finally rolling out an Edit button; a feature that users have been requesting for years. Now, more details have emerged from the company regarding the new feature, including how users can edit their tweets up to 5 times within a specific period after posting.

Back in January, Instagram introduced its subscription service for the creators to earn a profit through what they post on the social media platform. However, the subscriptions only covered minimal content, such as stories and live streams. Now, Instagram will be adding photos, videos, or Reels into the package, which is one of the most requested changes by the creators.

Remember how Elon Musk was planning to buy Twitter? Yeah, that's probably not happening anymore. The business magnate first announced his plans to acquire the platform for roughly USD43.4 billion (~RM192.13 billion) back in April. But troubles soon followed and that plan is going down the drain.

Although the Twitter board has decided to sell the social media platform to Elon Musk, it doesn't mean that the ownership will immediately get transferred. Selling such a large company should go through a long process. Until today, the latest information has come stating that deal is now on hold when Musk waits for Twitter to give an accurate number of the existing fake or spam accounts.

Popular social media platform Twitter is currently experimenting with a new feature that helps protect users’ peace of mind. Called ‘unmentioning’, the feature allows you to remove yourself from conversations where you’re mentioned in.

Announced by the company’s Twitter Safety account, the feature is now available for some users on the web version of the platform. The tweet also showed a GIF of the feature in action which is rather straightforward.
