LinkedIn has launched new virtual events feature on its platform globally at a time when physical events are risky due to the rise of coronavirus. Through the new solutions, organisations and their audiences will be able to connect virtually in real-time while following the social distancing norms. The company said that using LinkedIn Live, companies can now host virtual events and stream them live to the attendees. This has been enabled by integrating LinkedIn Live and LinkedIn Events.

The top professional social media network said, This integration between LinkedIn Live and LinkedIn Events helps companies to host live, real-time events in a trusted environment, attract the right professional audiences, drive strong reach and engagement, and get more mileage for their events with a dedicated hub for videos of the event on their Pages.

The companies can create an online event on their pages and share it with the audience. The attendees will join the event when it starts and they will also be able to comment when it is going on. Additionally, LinkedIn says that organisations can keep the conversation going even after the event is over wit the Videos tab.

LinkedIn said that according to its data, 82 percent of audiences prefer watching live-streams from companies than regular social media posts. It also said that its parent Microsoft is already live-streaming its keynotes to its followers. The new feature is available to all members globally across all markets on desktop and mobile.

LinkedIn launched LinkedIn Events in October 2019 and in March this year, it allowed companies to create events on their LinkedIn Pages. It said that it has now launched the new solution with tighter integration of Events, Pages, and Live.

Twitters effort to tackle coronavirus misinformation is prompting the company to place labels and warning messages on tweets that contain disputed claims about the pandemic.

The change is designed to give users additional context to Twitter conversations swirling around the topic involving contested or misleading claims, Public Policy Director Nick Picklessaidon Monday.

In March, Twitter began removing tweets that contain coronavirus misinformation. However, the policy only applies to posts that risk causing serious harm, like advising people to drink bleach to cure themselves.

Now the company is trying to address the heated COVID-19 debates swirling on the platform, which often point toconspiracy theories. The same posts can also cast doubt on the need to practice social distancing or wear a mask. In response, Twitter plans on placing a warning message over tweets that contain disputed coronavirus information the company deems severe.

These warnings will inform people that the information in the Tweet conflicts with public health experts guidance before they view it, the company said in a blog post. Most importantly, the warning messages will also cover up the tweet from view unless the user clicks through it.

On tweets that only contain coronavirus misinformation found to be moderately harmful, the company is going to place a label under the content that says Get the facts about COVID-19 with a link to a credible source.

How Twitter will rate harm depends on the immediacy and likelihood someone believing the coronavirus claim will put them in danger, the company told PCMag. For example, a tweet that says "wearing a mask will get you sick" could easily be adopted, and put people at risk. A tweet that says "COVID came from a lab in China," on the other hand, poses no immediate risk to causing harm.

What specific topics or conspiracy theories will get flagged with a label or warning message wasnt spelled out. But as an example, Twitter told PCMag it will place the warnings on tweets that saygetting a flu shot may increase your susceptibility to COVID," a debunked claim that's been growing in circulation on social media, particularly among anti-vaccination supporters.

Still, Twitter says it will take no action on tweets that contain "unverified" COVID-19 claims. So the company may be slow to respond to new coronavirus debates peddling misinformation that emerge on the platform.

Twitter indicated its going to rely on automated content moderating systems and trusted partners to help it identify the problematic tweets. But the larger question is whether the approach will work. So far, the pandemic is showing coronavirus misinformation can quickly go viral on social media before its taken down. Last week, a video called Plandemic, which at one point says "wearing the mask literally activates your own virus," managed to get millions of views on YouTube and Facebook prior to its removal.

TikTok: The Social Media Craze at the ForeFront of Quarantine

Dance routines, dramatic scenes, hacks and tricks -TikTok is unleashing everyones inner content creator and untapped performer. Although the social media platform has been around long before the COVID-19 outbreak and quarantine to follow, TikTok has reached new levels of fame and use worldwide following the aftereffects of the pandemic.

This beloved social networking application was initially founded in China in 2016 and quickly rose to fame amongst millennials and the general younger population. By 2018, the application garnered even more popularity globally and in 2019 TikTok was named the seventh-most-downloaded mobile app of the decade, between 2010 to 2019.

Recently, as the majority of the worlds population has found itself in lockdown, spending more and more time at home, one of the greatest available solaces has been TikTok (in addition to various social media platforms in general). Perhaps TikToks entertainment and creativity factor is what has caused it to lead the current social media race, however.

Unlike some other social media platforms (such as Instagram or Facebook both of which can be used for both light and slightly heavier or more serious content), TikTok is meant to be used for pure entertainment, and most of the content shared and created through the app is usually light in nature.

From global dance challenges to local acting scene trends, TikTok is one of those entertainment platforms where one can lose his or herself in for hours on end both watching peoples creations and getting inspired to work on ones own as well.

TikTok Globally

On a global scale, TikToks download rate has reportedly increased significantly ever since the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdown to follow. So much so that, according to The Economic Times in India, short video app TikTok is the most downloaded app in India in the social media category during the government enforced lockdown to battle COVID-19, followed by WhatsApp and Facebook.

In addition to India however, the 15-second video sharing app has seen the same rise to fame across Europe and North America, as well as Asia and Africa. Even an article on UK publication The Guardian dubbed it as the social media sensation of lockdown.

Although each region or country always has its own set of top trending TikTok challenges and content, there are a few challenges and trends that have gone viral across the world. Some of these trending TikTok challenges include the savage dance challenge to Megan Thee Stallions song Savage, the Dont Rush challenge in which people seem to give themselves makeovers or transform themselves in a matter of seconds, and creating creative or fun lip syncing videos to the trending Tyga and Curtis Roach song Bored In The House.

TikTok in Egypt

Adding its own flavor to TikTok, Egypt sees its local viral trends and challenges in addition to the global ones. Performers at heart, what seems to be particularly popular amongst Egyptian TikTok users is acting out scenes from popular Egyptian films, TV shows or programs, or general video content.

A TikTok user who seems to have mastered the art of acting out various scenes is Rasha Rahwanji (@rasharahwanji0), having gained herself over 190,000 followers. Her precision and wit seem to have uncovered untapped talent in the realms of acting and performing for a virtual audience.

In addition to giving the general population the chance to unleash their creativity and just have a good time dancing and lip syncing to some of their favorite songs, TikTok has also pushed some of the countrys most beloved influencers and celebrities to take their content a step further.

Tameem Younes (@tameemyouness) for example, an influencer and comedian, has managed to consistently be one of TikToks leading content creators, usually always having videos trending and highlighted on the home feed. What particularly stands out with the famed comedian and content creator, is the fact that unlike most TikTok users a lot of his videos seem to be original content, as opposed to riding the lip sync and challenge waves.

Given the fact that the Egyptian population is generally known for their lightness of spirit and their ability to find the humor in anything, it only makes sense that TikTok has become more and more popular during this period of time.

So much so in fact, that there has even been a TV show created that airs daily during Ramadan on the Sada Elbalad Channel, entitled Top TikTok, in which the host discusses some of Egypts top trending TikTok videos.

The application however, has also been met with some criticism. Last month, Egyptian Tiktok influencer Haneen Hossam was detained after being arrested for posting videos on TikTok inciting debauchery and immorality. In addition to this, the Public Prosecution in Egypt also detained a group of TikTok users last month after ignoring the nationwide curfew andgoing out to the streets at night to film videos on the app inciting citizens to leave their homes and not implement the curfew.

Given its popularity and quick rise to fame, the question stands at whether or not the social media platform will continue to grow and stand the test of time, or whether it will eventually die out and be replaced by a new and improved video-creating platforms such as the case with Snapchat and Vine.

Dubai: Social networking has decades of experience connecting people, helping us keep up to date with the latest news, following interesting topics, being informed about public announcements, gaining insight from specialists and other goodies that help us and bring joy to our daily life. While this is useful, when using these platforms, one has to follow the right ethics and be aware of the pitfalls.

False rumors are a source of destruction, and it is up to each of us to tackle them. We need to be vigilant and review all information received and not immediately consider it to be truth unless it comes directly from an official agency. We have to be the strong dam that stops false rumors from spreading.

There are pathetic people among us who live by generating malicious gossip that offends and defames their goals. What might surprise you is that these gossips are carefully crafted traps that lure the target into a counterattack that the clapster then fights against the target. One should be aware of such traps and always be careful to express their opinion without defamation, insult or mention of names.

One of the disadvantages of the Internet is the inability to prevent or even restrict the distribution of images and other media. Private pictures and messages between people sent via WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram or even Snapchat can be saved and republished. This is a matter of great concern that we need to be aware of as many people of both sexes have been seriously humiliated and affected by the publication of these private pictures and messages.

Fake accounts are created by individuals or organizations with the aim of spreading conflict in societies and making personal money gains. We have to be careful and especially not to get into emotional traps, especially when we receive messages like Help a new Muslim or Poor child in the hospital. In other cases, they will fall victim to your social responsibility by posting bogus messages allegedly from royal people, such as Princess Wallet stolen, asking you to transfer money to them and have them recognize and return you as soon as they are back in the country. Check each new account to prevent fraudulent information or being cheated.

Some people innocently link their accounts to third-party online applications that write messages on behalf of the user. These messages can be as simple as daily useful information and statistics, and as complicated as replying to other people with reminders. Because they are generated in another country, the news published is sometimes culturally or politically insensitive, which can be very serious. Even if the likelihood of this happening is less than 10% since it was published on your behalf, you will be held responsible.
