Instagram on Thursday said it is using artificial intelligence to filter nasty comments and spam at the popular Facebook-owned photo-sharing service.

The move comes as Facebook and other internet companies work to curb trolls, hate speech and the spread of violent ideology on their platforms.

“Many of you have told us that toxic comments discourage you from enjoying Instagram and expressing yourself freely,” co-founder and chief executive Kevin Systrom said in a blog post.

“To help, we’ve developed a filter that will block certain offensive comments on posts and in live video.”

Written remarks will otherwise appear as usual at Instagram, and users can opt to turn off the new filters.

The offensive-comment filter will launch first in English, with other languages eventually added, according to Systrom.

Instagram said that the filter scanning for spam is designed to work in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

“Our team has been training our systems for some time to recognize certain types of offensive and spammy comments so you never have to see them,” Systrom said.

“The tools will improve over time.”

Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube this week announced the launch of an anti-terror partnership aimed at thwarting the spread of extremist content online.

The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism intends to share engineering, research and knowledge to help “continue to make our hosted consumer services hostile to terrorists and violent extremists,” the companies said.

Each of the technology giants has been working individually to prevent its platforms or services from being used to promote or spread extremist views.

US President Donald Trump’s ban on refugees and travelers from six mainly Muslim countries went into effect late Thursday, after a Supreme Court decision allowed it to go forward following a five-month battle with rights groups.

The Trump administration says the temporary ban is necessary to block terrorists from entering the country, but immigrant advocates charge that it illegally singles out Muslims.

The 90-day ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, and a 120-day ban on refugees, will allow exceptions for people with “close family relationships” in the United States.
But activists said the government has defined that too narrowly, excluding relationships with grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles and others.

And many were concerned about a possibly chaotic rollout of enforcement of the ban, like that in January when it was first announced.

Immigration rights activists and lawyers were waiting to help arrivals at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and other airports to be sure those from the six countries with valid US visas were allowed in after the ban went into effect at 8 pm Thursday Eastern time (0000 GMT Friday).

The Department of Homeland Security, which was heavily criticized for mishandling many arrivals when the ban was first attempted in January, promised a smooth rollout this time.

It stressed that anyone with a valid visa issued before the ban begins would still be admitted, and that all authorized refugees booked for travel before July 6 will also be allowed.

“We expect business as usual at the ports of entry starting at 8 pm tonight,” said a DHS official. “Our people are well prepared for this.”

The Trump administration insists the ban was necessary to protect the country from terror threats, and to give immigration authorities more time to tighten vetting of travelers and refugees.

“As recent events have shown, we are living in a very dangerous time, and the US government needs every available tool to prevent terrorists from entering the country and committing acts of bloodshed and violence,” a senior administration official told reporters Thursday........

Affiliate marketing is something many of us have come across in some shape or form but a lot of us just don’t understand the meaning of it or how it works as a business model.
Many of us are completely oblivious to the whole affiliate marketing industry in general. So I thought I would write this article to help enlighten those of you who are interested in finding out more about this new age business model that thousands of companies and individuals are profiting from.

Who is an affiliate?

An affiliate can be described as someone who earns a commission from a sale promoting someone else’s product. You’ve most likely bought something online through an affiliate without actually knowing! This could be the sale of literally anything from courses that teach people how to date the woman of their dreams, to tennis coaching lessons, online subscriptions and Amazon products. Affiliate programs are everywhere!

The amount of commission can also hugely vary depending on the affiliate program, they range from a few percent all the way up to ninety percent, in some cases. Affiliate programs aren’t created equal, some are definitely better than others.

Where Did affiliate Marketing Originates From?
Affiliate marketing originated before the inception of the internet. The concept of paying commissions for referred business predates affiliate marketing and the internet.

The concept of affiliate marketing was discovered and first put into place by William J. Tobin. The founder of PC Flowers and Gifts. It was launched in 1989 and the company saw profits in excess of $6 million a year.

The creation of the internet spawned opportunities for companies all over the world to advertise and sell their products to a global audience. Unsurprisingly, e-commerce exploded in popularity with companies such as Amazon launching their affiliate associates program in July 1996.

As a result of this e-commerce popularity surge, the affiliate marketing business model became extremely popular and still is to this day.

Over the past fifteen years or so the internet has now completely transformed the way businesses operate and has expanded earning potential for every business by increasing market reach, exponentially. The world is your oyster!

below is an infogragh showing how affiliate marketing works.

US social media giant Facebook launched a campaign in Britain on Friday to counter the spread of online extremism following warnings from Prime Minister Theresa May after four terror attacks in three months.

Facebook said it would seek to educate charities and other organisations on how to fight hate speech, in the wake of recent terror attacks in Belgium, Britain and France.

The Online Civil Courage Initiative (OCCI) will act as a forum for charities and other nonprofit organisations to share their experiences of extremism and develop “best practices” to tackle the issue, both on and offline.

There are already OCCI schemes in France and Germany.

Earlier this year, Group of Seven (G7) leaders had urged online giants like Facebook and Google to do more to curb extremist content online.

“The fight is moving from the battlefield to the internet,” May said at the time.

Partners in the new initiative include the Jo Cox Foundation, which was established in memory of the British member of parliament who was assassinated last year by a man with links to neo-Nazi organisations.

Other partner organisations include anti-hate groups from the Jewish and Muslim communities.

“There is no place for hate or violence on Facebook,” the company’s chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said Friday.

“We use technology like AI (artificial intelligence) to find and remove terrorist propaganda, and we have teams of counterterrorism experts and reviewers around the world working to keep extremist content off our platform.

“Partnerships with others — including tech companies, civil society, researchers and governments — are also a crucial piece of the puzzle.”

“We know we have more to do, but through our platform, our partners and our community we will continue to learn to keep violence and extremism off Facebook.”

The announcement Friday comes a week after Facebook launched a series of counter-terrorism measures in the wake of the recent terror attacks in Manchester and London.

In a separate announcement Friday, the British government rolled out new rules to crack down on terrorist and criminal financing.

Businesses like banks, estate agents and accounting and payment firms will have to carry out “stringent and targeted checks” to make sure that money “is from a legitimate source and will not be used to fund terror acts”, the Treasury said in a statement.

Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States. Despite this, some smokers find quitting daunting. They think it will take a very long time before seeing improvements in their health and well-being.

However, the timeline for seeing real benefits to quitting smoking is much faster than most people realize. Health benefits begin in as little as an hour after the last cigarette and continue to improve.

Fast facts on quitting smoking:

Here are some key points about smoking cessation.
- Quitting smoking means breaking the cycle of addiction and essentially rewiring the brain to stop craving nicotine.
- To be successful, smokers that want to quit need to have a plan in place to beat cravings and triggers.
- The benefits of quitting smoking begin in as little as 1 hour after the last cigarette.
- The sooner a smoker quits, the faster they will reduce their risk of cancer, heart and lung disease, and other conditions related to smoking.

Quitting smoking timeline: What happens?

The benefits are almost instant; as soon as a person stops smoking their body begins to recover in the following ways:
After 1 hour

In as little as 20 minutes after the last cigarette is smoked, the heart rate drops and returns to normal. Blood pressure begins to drop, and circulation may start to improve.

Thanks to a surge in Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) stock — the company just announced that it is buying Whole Foods (WFM) — Bezos added another $1.8 billion to his net worth, according to Bloomberg.

Bezos is now worth about $84.6 billion total, leaving him just $5 billion shy of overtaking Gates as the wealthiest person in the world.

He has a good shot. Bezos, 53, is focused on aggressively expanding Amazon, while Gates, 61, wants to give most of his money away.

Gates created the Giving Pledge with investing guru Warren Buffett — the fourth wealthiest person with $76.8 billion — in 2010.

The pledge asks billionaires to commit to giving away at least half of their money during their lifetimes. More than 150 people have signed the pledge, but Bezos isn’t one of them.

Gates stepped down as Microsoft CEO in 2000, and further distanced himself from day-to-day operations in the years after. He has been working full time on philanthropy for the past few years with his wife, Melinda.

Gates still owns more than 2% of Microsoft, though, so his net worth has continued to climb.

Meanwhile, Bezos has made it clear that he’s not slowing down.

The CEO is famous for his commitment to treating each day at Amazon as if the company is still in its start-up phase.

Even the tagline for his private space company, Blue Origin, speaks to his leadership stye: Gradatim Ferociter. It means “step by step, ferociously.”

Bezos has recently hinted at his charitable interests. He posted on Twitter last week asking for ideas for a “philanthropic strategy.”

Each passing day brings with it news of a brand new leak of personal information over the Internet. Be it credit card information belonging to millions of users or their email IDs and passwords, personal nude pictures of celebrities or even top secret classified government data — the world of hackers has democratized the internet and its lack of security at every possible level.

You might now be wondering what this has to do with your innocuous little blog or website that does not carry users’ credit card information or nude pictures.

Well, hackers can turn your nondescript website into a malicious spy bot in a matter of minutes, sending sensitive user data to hackers without your even realizing it. Worse, they can hack into your website databases and destroy or manipulate important information, injecting your content with malicious links and even hijack the hosting server to be used in botnet DDoS attacks.

But enough of this scare fest. It’s not all doom and gloom out there on the Web. There are things that you can do to secure your website from hackers and becoming a target for online vandals. Here’s a roundup of the easiest steps you can take:

Keep All Software Updated

Whether your website was built from scratch by your development team or you chose to create a DIY site on a third party turnkey platform, as a site owner it’s your job to ensure that every piece of software you run is up to date.

CMS providers like WordPress, Joomla and their ilk work round the clock trying to plug any holes in their systems and release regular patches and updates that make their software less vulnerable to attacks. Ensure that you run these updates and have the latest version supporting your site at any given point in time.

If your site uses third party plugins, keep track of their updates and ensure that these are updated on time as well. Often, many sites include plugins that fall into disuse over time. Clean out your website of any unused, old and non-updated plugins — they are sitting ducks for hackers to be used as a gateway to enter your site and wreak havoc on it.

Build Layers of Security Around Your Site

Just as you lock your doors before leaving your house and install antivirus software on your desktop computer before browsing the web, you should also have a security system to serve as your website’s first line of defense against hacking attacks. A Web Application Firewall is that first line of defense. These solutions are designed to inspect incoming traffic, provide and weed out malicious requests –- offering protection from SPAM, brute force attacks, SQL Injections, Cross Site Scripting and other OWASP

Until just a few years ago, Web Application Firewalls were only available as hardware appliances, but today a few Security-as-a-service (SECaaS) providers are revolutionizing the industry by using cloud technology to cut down prices of security solutions previously found only in enterprise level setups.

Consequently, all website owners can now “rent” a cloud-based Web Application Firewall, without committing to pricey security appliances or even owning a dedicated hosting server. Better yet, these plug-and-play services don’t require you to hire security experts or attempt to learn every aspect of web security. (Most of us just don’t have the time to become cybersecurity experts too.)

With hundreds of thousands of websites hacked every year, it’s becoming clear that hosting providers are not sufficiently equipped to handle all website security threats because frankly website security is not within their primary agenda. Now cloud-based Web Application Firewalls are filling that void.

Switch to HTTPS

HTTPS or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure communications protocol that is used to transfer sensitive information between a website and a web server. Moving your website to the HTTPS protocol essentially means adding an encryption layer of TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to your HTTP making your users’ and your own data extra secure from hacking attempts.
While HTTPS is a necessity for all online transactions, the rest of the website is usually on HTTP in most cases. However, all that is about to change with Google’s recent announcement that HTTPS will be a search ranking factor. Besides the security aspect of things, it now makes even more sense to shift your entire website to HTTPS to improve your search rankings simultaneously.

Use Strong Passwords, Change Regularly

This one’s another no-brainer. Brute force attacks that try guessing username password combinations have multiplied at alarming rates over the last couple of years with thousands of attacks being detected on a daily basis across the web.

Using strong passwords is an effective way to limit if not completely eliminate brute force and dictionary attacks. Strong passwords are not just a requirement for your email or financial transactions online, they are also imperative for your website server, admin and database passwords.
Make sure your password is a combination of alphanumeric characters, symbols, upper and lower case characters and is at least 12 characters long to prevent brute force attacks.

Do not use the same password for all your different website logins. Change your passwords regularly to keep them doubly secure. Store users’ passwords in encrypted form. This ensures that even if there is a security breach, attackers do not get their hands on actual user passwords.

Web Host provides the platform for a website to be accessible to the world via a web server. A web server is a program that stores files (usually web pages) and makes them accessible via the network or the internet. A web server requires both hardware and software. Customers usually turn to the internet to get information and buy products and services. Towards that end, most organizations have websites and these websites store valuable information such as credit card numbers, email address and passwords, etc. This has made them targets to attackers. From time to time, host providers are faced with server attacks which could lead to downtimes for their customers (users) thereby making the websites of legitimate users inaccessible. This could also cause the host provider to suffer long term reputation damage.
Web server can be attacked in many ways. Some of the most common attacks and how to prevent them are listed below.

1. Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS)

Denial of service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are the most common ways to overwhelm a server. Denial of Service attacks are when one computer with an internet connection attempts to flood a server with packets while DDoS on the other hand are when many devices, often widely distributed into a botnet attempt to overload network and servers with enormous malicious requests.
DOS attacks are performed by overwhelming the web server in numerous ways including sending invalid data as input that causes application termination, flooding the web server with automated request causing a crash, blocking the traffic resulting in loss of access to the users. This will increase the server’s downtime which, in turn, will make websites on the server unavailable to intended users.
The goal of a DoS attack is to bring down a web server by overloading it with access requests. Popular websites such as Google and Twitter have been victims of DoS attacks.

Preventive measures
Prevention of DoS attacks from anonymous sources can be ensure by implementing a web server firewall that inspects the entire HTTL traffic and stop any data packet that appears malicious and generating from a source that is not authorized. As a host provider, you can go through these technical measures to perform rescue operations:
• Set the limit of your router to prevent overloading.
• Integrate filters to drop packets that could be sources of malicious attack.
• Lower the SYN, ICMP, and UDP flood drop thresholds.
• Deny access to malformed packages.

2. SQL Injection
SQL injection, also known as SQLI, is a common attack vector that uses malicious SQL query code for backend database manipulation to access information that was not intended to be displayed. An SQL query with parameters from the URL is fed to the database that has the ability to alter the data. When this attack is conducted, there are chances of backend database server to be compromised and it can be catastrophic for a company. A successful attack may result in the unauthorized viewing of user lists, the deletion of entire tables and, in certain cases, the attacker gaining administrative rights to a database, all of which are highly detrimental to a business. Websites that are most likely to be attacked using this type of attack are e-commerce websites that have huge database comprising users’ information.

Preventive Measures
As a preventive measure, host providers can employ the use of input validation (a.k.a. sanitization), which is the practice of writing code that can identify illegitimate user inputs, do a thorough review of the source code, following least privilege for database applications and deleting redundant and unnecessary database users and procedures. They can also integrate web application firewall which can filter out SQLI as well as other online threats.

3. DNS Poisoning (Phishing) and spamming
A phishing attack is a fraudulent message, usually in the form of an email, which lures users into clicking a link. That link in turn either leads the victim to a malicious website or initiates a malicious download. Attackers can then use the entered information to steal your (or your customers’) identity. DNS poisoning can ultimately route users to the wrong website. For example, a user may enter “msn.com” into a web browser, but a page chosen by the attacker loads instead. These phishing sites are often hosted on otherwise legitimate sites that have been attacked due to poor security practices.

Spam are unsolicited “junk” e-mails that are sent to large numbers of people to promote products or services. Spam, or electronic junk mail, is a nuisance as it can clutter your mailbox as well as potentially take up space. Relatively speaking, they are harmless. However, spam messages can contain links that when clicked on could go to a website that installs malicious software and can also flood systems with unnecessary traffic that could bring down network speed to less than optimal levels.

Preventive Measures
As a preventive measure, security provisions can be added to the server to prevent phishing attacks, however specific websites need to have their own security as well. Mail servers can also be protected by integrating spam/junk mail filter.
