An app that has been accused of facilitating bullying has been taken down from the Apple
and Google stores.
My name is Danny Burke - back for my second day as your fill in host for Landon Productions
this week.
Fill in host sounds weird, not sure why I said that.
Lets get back into this story.
The app is called Sarahah and was designed for adults to leave each other anonymously
leave each other feedback.
The feedback can be good or bad, it can be used between friends, families and work colleagues
but it is always anonymous.
Well, it seems that some school kids found out about this around the world and thought
it would be a great way to be nasty to each other.
Karina Collins is an Australian mother who was shocked to find that her 13 year old daughter
was receiving messages on the app telling her to kill herself.
She started a peition on change.org calling for the app to be removed from Google and
Apples stores, accusing them of facilitating bullying and self harm.
The petition gained almost half a million supporters and seemed to work as both companies
removed the app from their stores.
The CEO of the company, Zain-Alabdin Tawfiq, has said hes comitted to improving the filtering
system on the app using AI and machine learning.
It seems that the app was good at blocking out words such as kill but couldnt detect
that phrases such as -throw yourself off a cliff- were just as bad.
Do you guys think the app should stay banned or return once these changes are in place?
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring - Banana phone.
I will now say Banana like I normally do.
The Nokia Banana phone is back and everyone who remembers them is going ape for them right
now - pun intended.
They gained immense popularity in 1999 after being featured in the Matrix - theyre the
phones that Morpheus and Neo use.
Well they are set for a re release as part of the new Nokia Originals.
Its gonna be called the Nokia 8110 4G, named after the original of course, and its going
to be very simple to use.
You can answer and end calls by simply sliding the bottom of the phone up and down.
The battery will last for 25 days - thats right, 25 days, meaning youll only have to
recharge it once every month or so.
It will cost 79 euros on release - thats about 97 US dollars or 69 British pounds.
The best part is, it contains the legendary snake game.
That might even be its main appeal for me if Im honest.
A much loved rapper has been spotted by fans walking around Somalia.
This wouldnt be a big deal except for one thing - it was 2pac. 2pac was shot and killed
almost 22 years ago on September 13th 1996 but despite that, there have been rumours
from all over the world that he is alive and well and simply in hiding.
This week, hes apparently been seen in the East African nation of Somalia.
A user by the name of suldaan_mahdi posted online to say -Ive seen Tupac and Kadafi way
after their sad deaths, in Somalia- Kadafi was the co founder with Tupac of the rap group
Outlawz.
Suldaan went on to say -Ive seen them both alive.
I was in a car and they were heading in the other direction.
Kadafi was doing some kind of hand signals, he looked kind of funky- Im not sure what
he means by funky there, could mean a lot of things.
Do you guys think theres any truth to this? 2PAC is alive seems to be one of the most
talked about conspiracy theories in the world - does that mean there is a little bit of
truth to it somehow?
Let me know … Yesterday I talked about the new Sony phone
and I think Apple must have watched that video because today they had an announcement of
their own.
They are going to be release not one, not two, but 3 phones later this year.
This will include their largest iPhone ever and a less expensive model.
This seems to be a direct reaction to the poor sales of the iPhone X last year which
fell short of analysts projects.
It seems people were put off by the 1000 dollar price tag despite liking features of the phone
such as the large edge to edge screen.
The 3 new phones will address these problems.
The large model will have a screen close to 6.5 inches - one of the largest on the market.
It will also feature the edge to edge design of the iPhone X and have a Face ID Scanner
instead of a thumb scanner.
The cheaper version of the phone will feature the LCD screen technology used in the iPhone
8.
It will also have aluminium edges and a glass back, not the fancy stainless steel one used
in the iPhone 10.
Apple hopes this will keep the price low enough for more people to afford it as an entry level
phone.
Twitter blew up yesterday when an Uber driver shared the playlists he uses for his passengers
based on how they look.
Its pretty funny stuff.
The playlists have names such as heady bros, white dudes who look like they like rap, basic
20-30s, 30+ and quiet people.
My personal favourite was simply called -fucking hipsters- … I presume they mean that as
an adjective and not a verb.
Anyway the tweet has got over a quarter of a million likes - some people were discussing
which playlist would suit them as a passenger but a lot of people were asking for links
to the playlists to listen to them.
Eventually, someone found the playlists on spotify and then everyone started listening
to them.
I fully intend to listen to White dudes who look like they like rap, quiet people and
fucking hipsters.
After his playlists were discovered, the Uber driver tweeted out saying he has to step up
his game now.
That means that by the time you guys find it, he might have improved them or even made
whole new ones.
If you listen to them, let me know which playlist you are … who needs Buzzfeed am I right?
And finally now - yesterday we talked about how well Black Panther was doing - well apparently
its not done famous enough because a British supermarket got its name very wrong.
Tesco is a major British supermarket chain that recently released a Black Panther outfit
called -Marvel Avengers Dark Panther Fancy Dress Costume- … some pointed the error
out on Twitter and soon after, Tesco fixed the problem and said they were extremely sorry.
Some people found it funny but the people who were slightly more concerned were asking
would this have happened if it was iron man?
Would they have accidently called him Metal Man?
I saw one guy on Twitter surmise that it was either a genuine mistake, a licensing problem
or a clever marketing ploy to get people talking about their product.
If its that last one then well played.
You got me talking about it.
I wonder if they will sell any more Dark Panther costumes now …
Day 2 in the bag.
Was it better than day 1?
Will it be better than day 4?
Who knows, I havent even got there yet!
All I know is Im having fun, I hope you did too, let me know which was your favourite
story so I know what kind of stuff to look for next.
My names Danny Burke, thanks for watching Landon Productions and Ill see you all in
the next video!
