Whatsapp polices and amid risks of loss of users

What is happening actually? WhatsApp is forcing users to agree to sharing information with Facebook if they want to keep using the service. The company warns users in a pop-up notice that they "need to accept these updates to continue using WhatsApp" - or delete their accounts. But Facebook, which owns WhatsApp, said European and UK users would not see the same data-sharing changes, although they will need to accept new terms. The exception has been welcomed by some as a victory for EU privacy regulators. The deadline in both regions to accept the change is 8 February, after which "you'll need to accept these updates to continue using WhatsApp", the company said in the pop-up alert to users. A section of the international privacy policy has been removed, which previously let people opt out of sharing personal information with Facebook for the first 30 days after the changes went live. Instead, the latest alert points users to its online help centre "if...

Information Warfare

Based on true story A couple of days ago here in USA I happened to meet a Pakistani-American girl. She was roughly 10 years old and was born and bred in USA. It was an extremely interesting conversation with a confident and intelligent kid who had visited Pakistan only once in her lifetime. During the course of conversation, I asked the kid about her views to shift back to Pakistan to which she straightforwardly gave an expected negative reply. I asked the reason to which she gave a strange reply that she won't shift to Pakistan because India will attack Pakistan and will destroy it. Surprised on getting such an unexpected answer, I further probed her as to why she thought that such an incident would happen. Her reply was rather shocking for me when she referred to some Indian movie that she had watched, which revolved around the story of an Indian attack on Pakistan. I was taken aback by this few minutes of conversation with an innocent little kid and made me think ho...

Impact and general awareness about this taboo

Victims experience stigmatization in their life especially the female victims face stigmatization in patrilineal rituals with strong culture and taboos regarding sex and sexual life. Victim is isolated from the society and even prohibited from marrying too. UNICEF and International alert released a report about the children released by Nigeria’s insurgency group Boko Haram often face rejection by their own families and the children born of sexual violence are not even considered children and are becoming a matter of discrimination for their own parents . There is a common practice of blaming the victim especially in sexual assault for her clothing and certain actions which reduce others ability to resist against sexual activity. Such type of accusation against victims arise from the assumption that sexually revealing clothes conveys consent for the sexual actions, irrespective of the verbal consent . Now the need of the time is to educate the young that attire is...

The Life with Covid-19

The cases are already beginning to emerge. When 85-year-old Colin Horseman was admitted to Doncaster Royal Infirmary in late December, it was for a suspected kidney infection. But not long afterwards he caught Covid-19 – at the time, roughly one in four people in hospital with the virus had acquired it there. He developed severe symptoms and was eventually put on a ventilator. A few days later, he died. At first glance, Horseman's situation may seem fairly typical, though no less tragic for it. After all, at least 84,767 people have now succumbed to the disease in the UK alone at the time of writing. But, as his son recently explained in a local newspaper , less than three weeks earlier he had been among the first people in the world to receive the initial dose of a Covid-19 vaccine – the Pfizer-BioNTech version. He was due to receive the second dose two days prior to his death. In fact, most vaccines require booster doses to work. Take the MMR – measles, mumps and rub...
