Facebook wants to stop Internet bullying by using Rosetta!

 

“Internet bullying has gradually become a major social problem. Nowadays, the Internet has made many people know a lot of things by just simply sliding the phone, but they can stab a person’s heart within a few words. Even some people end their lives because of cyberbullying. Now Facebook intends to use Rosetta to prevent cyberbullying from growing.”

 

As more and more pictures or videos are used to convey inappropriate remarks and are heavily reprinted and shared, Facebook plans to use artificial intelligence to block and prevent these messages from being transmitted through image recognition.

Previously stressed that it will curb Internet strikes and hate speech. Facebook expects to filter more than 1 billion videoes and video content on Facebook and Instagram service platforms. Respectively, through the artificial intelligence system code-named Rosetta. Analyzing whether the “messages” presented in various languages involve hate transmission or advocate violence.

Identify the text-content in the image by artificial intelligence, and then analyze whether the content involves false or inappropriate speech.

In addition to using Rosetta to stop network attacks and hate speech, this artificial intelligence system is expected to be used for content filterings such as Internet rumours and fake news. Once the system detects and is shared and delivered by the system, the system will automatically intervene it. Clarify whether the content involves issues such as hate speech and Internet strikes.

The reason why Rosetta is proposed is that more and more “message” transmission is presented in the form of images and videos. Therefore, the traditional way of filtering through text recognition obviously cannot prevent such content from spreading through the web platform, so Facebook hopes to borrow Cross-matching by image recognition, to prevent such malicious “messages” from continuing to spread through Facebook or Instagram service platforms.

Prior to this, Facebook has indicated its desire to completely curb the phenomenon of network stagnation. It also emphasizes the desire to prevent the impact of fake news and hate speech, and continues to reduce such problems by filtering fake accounts, reporting mechanisms, and active filtering mechanisms.

Although some of the current processing models still rely on manual inspection and screening but face thousands of information transmissions every day, Facebook believes that artificial intelligence technology should actively filter these inappropriate content, rather than passively waiting for users to report.

“Xbox fans, don’t miss this news!

Perhaps in the future, it would not just the Xbox, with just one order, you can easily do a lot of things in your life~”

A more efficiency and safety Chrome is coming after it has been launched a decade.

 

“It has been 10 years since Chrome launched. Google Chrome has always been a simple life helper, even it was Microsoft IE and Edge can’t resist its power. At this moment of the decade, Google announced they are going to launch an update of the latest version of Chrome which includes three major characteristics that might let everyone surprised! Let’s take a quick look at what fantastic function does the new version of Chrome have!”

 

Since the Chrome browser has shown up in 2008, Google Chrome has quickly replaced Microsoft IE with the most popular browser. So far, more than 60% of the market share has been used. Google has also used Chrome to be the foundation of Chrome OS and developed more application of Chromebook, which brought a lot more convenience to the network surfing. Gradually, Chrome has become the main web browsing tool of the Android platform. Microsoft hopes to reverse the market situation with the new Edge browser. However, it seems that it still can’t stop everyone’s demand for Chrome.

On September 2nd this year, the 10th anniversary of its official expiration, Google also announced the launch of a new Chrome browser version. Replaced the current interface to a new and more compact appearance, strengthening the security protection, and re-adjust the browser operation interface, especially for mobile browsing, which would exactly make browsing more efficiency. As for the iOS platform, the main menu will be moved to the bottom, which is similar to the operation mode of Apple Safari and also improves the access efficiency of CSS syntax content.

When it comes to the web service, account password that users often considered it difficult to remember, the new version of Chrome will work with the new password administrator, which is called Chrome Dino mechanism. By logging in to the personal Google account, the system can remember it in a safer way and let the user get their account details in cross-platform and cross-device as well. Even when users meet the need to create new passwords, the system can automatically assist users to establish a higher level of password combination and record passwords in personal accounts, which makes the user more easily to use it later.

The second brand new function is Omnibox, which is added. It is a function of input prediction and searches suggestion, once the system finds the corresponding answer that users entered, it will be displayed in the search field in a summary manner. Or the search results page is presented in the form of an information chart so that the user can more intuitively understand the search content’s answer.

The new version of Chrome will now give users priority to browse HTTPS-encrypted web content or websites that are designed to be secure, and also natively target VR or AR content applications. In other parts, the emphasis is on shortening overall loading time and reducing browsing latency. And to increase the efficiency of memory usage, to avoid the old version is easy to generate memory is occupied by specific paging, it is expected to release a new version of Chrome browser update in the next few weeks.

Google expects to release new Chrome browser updates in the coming weeks. Not only for the PC platform, Android and the iOS system will be updated in the future as well. As for the Chrome OS operating system, it is expected to follow up also.

Chromium architecture drives more browser generation

In addition to Google’s continued implementation of the Chrome browser, its external Chromium architecture is also open to free access changes. For example, Opera’s subsequent implementation of the browser abandoned the original browser and changed to the WebKit browser engine used by the Chrome browser. Even the recent Red Core browsers that are controversial in China market are actually based on the Chromium architecture. Due to Chromium architecture allows third-party vendors to model themselves, it also spawns many web browsers with different application features.

At the same time, Google continues to support a variety of HTML5 technical specifications in the Chrome browser. Through the new image encoding technology allows users to view audio and video content without installing any plug-ins, and actively limit the use of Adobe Flash plug-ins unless Users manually open it when needed, otherwise, Google will stand in the user’s perspective to avoid all kinds of malicious attacks affecting browsing security.

Instagram is now planning to launched a new In-APP purchase function?!

 

“Now more and more people like to spend their free time on Instagram to engage in their friends’ dynamics posts, and even some people will choose to click on the ad linking to the store page for online shopping. Probably, Instagram will announce that an in-app purchase function will be launched. To increase the user experiences.”

 

Instagram will plan to further integrate online shopping, allowing consumers to complete shopping directly within the app, instead of the shopping behavior and system they are using and experiencing now.

The news on Verge shows that Instagram plans to further integrate online shopping mechanisms, allowing consumers to complete shopping directly within the app in order to expand more e-commerce applications.

However, Instagram did not respond specifically to this, nor did it indicate whether the service will be operational in the future.

According to the previous official monthly active users on Instagram is more than 1 billion people, it has naturally become a revenue source for Facebook’s important advertisements. For example, this year in mid-June announced the launch of IGTV independent audio and video application service. By attracting more people to look at the videos, at the same time, it also enhances the opportunities for Instagram advertising to benefit, and also helps brand manufacturers to promote their products.

On the other hand, Instagram’s exposure to brand collaboration is also quite significant. For example, L’Oreal has recently partnered with Instagram to allow Instagram users directly use the online service to augment the reality of the “makeup testing” and attract Instagram users to purchase related makeup products.
