On July 12th, Meta announced that earlier this week, users could generate images in Meta AI by mentioning public Instagram accounts they wanted to reference. This feature, which allowed referencing public content by default, drew criticism from organizations such as the Screen Actors Guild, who argued it could infringe on portrait rights and pose criminal risks. Meta stated that its initial intention was to provide a practical creative tool and allow users to control whether their public content was allowed to be referenced in this way, but after receiving user feedback that the feature failed to achieve its intended effect, it has been removed.July 12 - Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, said at a press conference in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, on July 11 that the two strong earthquakes that struck the country on June 24 have killed 4,333 people and injured 16,740.

YouTube and Meta will expand their regulations and research to prevent online extremism

Thursday, as part of a White House conference on combating violence inspired by hatred, major internet companies vowed to take additional efforts to prevent online extremism by removing more violent content and promoting media literacy among young users.


For years, Facebook (NASDAQ:META) and YouTube (NASDAQ:GOOGLYouTube) have been accused of permitting hate speech, misinformation, and violent emotions to thrive on their own platforms.


At a White House gathering attended by academics, survivors, and bipartisan local leaders on Thursday morning, Vice President Joe Biden urged Americans to combat racism and extremism.


YouTube has announced that it will widen its limits on violent extremism to include the removal of content that praises violent acts, regardless of whether the videos' creators are linked with a terrorist organization.


The video streaming website already prohibits violent incitement, but in at least some instances has not applied such prohibitions to videos promoting militia organizations implicated in the assault on the United States Capitol on January 6.


In a report published in May by the Tech Transparency Project, 435 pro-militia YouTube videos were identified, including 85 uploaded since the January 6 incident. Some of the movies contained training instructions, such as how to perform guerilla ambushes.


Jack Malon, a spokesman for YouTube, would comment on whether the service will change its approach to this content in light of the new policy, although he did note that the adjustment enables YouTube to go further than before with enforcement.


YouTube also said that it will launch a media literacy program to teach younger users how to recognize manipulation techniques used to spread misinformation.


Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stated that it will make a simpler, less expensive version of its artificial intelligence and machine learning technology available to schools and smaller groups in order to help them detect and prevent violence.


The proprietor of Facebook, Meta, has partnered with the Center for Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.


Legislators questioned the CEOs of Alphabet, Facebook, and Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) on their companies' possible involvement in the January 6 attack.
