It’s a text based microblogging app that can be integrated with Instagram, but will also be a stand-alone app. Tyla: Well, Instagram have announced a new feature coming to the platform this summer. Tyla: Completely by coincidence, I’m sure!Ĭolin: Of course! But copyright around social media features is pretty complicated – there’s not really any law, as such, that stops one social media company copying a feature of another. When a feature works really well on one social media platform, we sometimes see a very similar feature pop up on one of the others… So, Colin, we know that social media websites often appear to copy each other’s features.Ĭolin: Yes. Tyla: Well, let’s see if we’re talking about this again in six months then! Tyla: And Meta have also been told they have to stop transferring users’ data the US within the next five months.Ĭolin: Yes and they have been given six months to remove any data they already have from their US servers. – This is despite a previous ruling by the European court of justice back in 2020 that robust protections must be put in place. This time, the fine is about how their platform Facebook transfers the data of EU users to the US without proper safeguarding. This is actually their fifth fine by the Irish regulator. One of the biggest stories has been about Meta, who have been fined 1.2 billion euros for mishandling data by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission.Ĭolin: It may well and that’s because this isn’t the first time that Meta have faced fines for how they handle the data of users in Ireland. Tyla: Sounds good – let’s get started with some social media news! Colin?Ĭolin: It’s actually been quite a social media-heavy news week. Tyla: And I’m Tyla! What are we talking about in this week’s episode, Colin?Ĭolin: Today, we’re discussing fines facing Meta, TikTok pranks and online challenges, and how one child racked up a hefty bank bill on Roblox.

One of the best ring lights can make a big difference when it comes to getting the right lighting.Colin: Hello listeners, welcome to Safeguarding Soundbites, the podcast that brings you the latest in safeguarding news and alerts. Meanwhile, black and white are bold, clear contrasting colours, while cyan and fuchsia, close to magenta, are complementary colours that create dynamic accents around the edge of the logo, adding depth and making the 2D design look more 3D through the evocation of anaglyph 3D images. The design is simple, clean and easy to interpret and remember. It does so because perhaps even without knowing it, the designer used classic rules of logo design and colour theory. But yet still the logo seems to work perfectly despite the fact that it was apparently created in-house by an unnamed designer rather than by a branding agency. Why the TikTok logo worksįor most TikTok users, the TikTok logo's resemblance to a 'D' and its representation of the meaning of 'Douyin' is irrelevant since they're unaware of the TikTok logo's history and even the existence of the Chinese app. A cyan and fuchsia shadow effect was added to the "O" to mirror to enhance the connection and creative a more coherent whole. In the redesign, the text was made to look lot more connected to the glyph aesthetically, with heavier type, and the space between TikTok removed. In the original logo, the text felt like a bit of an afterthought, flung on haphazardly below the mark, which it probably was. At this point, the brand decided to dedicate a bit more time to finding the right font for the logo, and created the TikTok wordmark that's still in use today. The TikTok logo today (Image credit: TikTok)īy the end of 2018, TikTok had grown to have 271 million users (it's since surpassed the one billion mark).
