Sanctions to be introduced to target people-smuggling gangs
Gang leaders, corrupt police officers and companies selling small boat equipment for Channel crossings could face having their assets frozen and being banned from travel to the UK in efforts to curb the people-smuggling trade. The Foreign Secretary announced on Tuesday a raft of sanctions that will be introduced to target anyone involved in assisting illegal immigration to the UK. This ranges from those involved in supplying and financing small boats, fake passports, and 'middlemen' putting cash through the Hawala system, a legal money transfer system, which is also used in payments linked to Channel crossings. The first wave of sanctions comes into force on Wednesday, and will publicly name anyone sanctioned, so it will be illegal for UK businesses and banks to deal with them. The measure is expected to include more than 20 designations, and could include corrupt public officials and police officers in steps to tackle the multi-billion-dollar industry. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: 'For too long, criminal gangs have been lining their corrupt pockets and preying on the hopes of vulnerable people with impunity as they drive irregular migration to the UK. We will not accept this status quo. 'That's why the UK has created the world's first sanctions regime targeted at gangs involved in people smuggling and driving irregular migration, as well as their enablers. 'From tomorrow, those involved will face having their assets frozen, being shut off from the UK financial system and banned from travelling to the UK.' It follows legislation being introduced under the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill to ramp up enforcement powers for police forces and partners to investigate and prosecute people smugglers. Fresh sanctions aim to target organised crime gangs wherever they are in the world and disrupt their flow of cash, including freezing bank accounts, property and other assets, to hinder their activities. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: 'It will allow us to target the assets and operations of people smugglers wherever they operate, cutting off their funding and dismantling their networks piece by piece. 'Through the Border Security Command and key partners like the National Crime Agency, we are strengthening our ties with other nations to tackle this global problem. 'Together, we are sending a clear message that there is no hiding place for those who exploit vulnerable people and put lives at risk for profit.'

Camp Visiting Day Is ‘Out of Control' for Wealthy Families — & Parents Are Spending Thousands To Keep Up
Summer camp looks completely different for the country's wealthiest families. While most of America opts for day camps at their local YMCA or the occasional week-long camps — if they're kids go to camp at all — there is a subset of elite kids who attend sleepaway camps for most of the summer. And it's a whole new world there with a culture we can only imagine. Parents-in-the-know have called one part of this camping experience totally 'out of control,' and they are spending thousands of dollars to keep up. A new article published in The Cut revealed a dark trend taking over sleepaway camp: the unspoken competition about parent visiting day. Every year in mid-July, parents come to visit their kids at prestigious summer camps in Maine, where only the 'elite of the elite' go, according to one anonymous parent. These families haven't seen their kids in weeks, but they aren't lining up outside the gates and running to the little ones purely because they missed them. They are doing it to film content for their TikTok channels with the hashtag #visitingday. The more affection, the better looking, and the more expensive gifts brought to visiting day, the better. More from SheKnows We Asked Actual Gen Z Teens To Explain the 'Gen Z Stare' & Here's What They Really Think 'In the past couple of years, visiting day has exploded,' a mom with a son at Camp Takajo and a daughter at Camp Mataponi in Naples, Maine, told The Cut. She pays $17,000 for tuition for each kid for the summer, as well as thousands on the high-end clothing, equipment, overnight trips, and visiting day necessities that camp requires. The East Coast camps limit the gifts parents can bring to what can fit in 'one tote bag' — because other camps in upstate New York and Pennsylvania will be loads of items, from personalized pillows to bunk gifts for the other kids. Even though most of the Maine camps have limited the number of items parents can bring their kids, they are sneaking in expensive stuff. 'It's sushi and Starbucks and Alo Yoga sets,' one mom tells The Cut. Another mom says, 'I have a friend who spent $3,000 on a cookie cake and a tiered candy tower.' Baseball cards have been banned because boys were trading them and getting into fights, but some parents will still bring them as well as a picture wall of photos — from the kids' previous weeks at camp with their friends. Parents make it a whole weekend affair, staying in exclusive hotels, making reservations months in advance for in-demand restaurants, and taking private planes to skip the traffic. 'People fly private, they bring chefs and nannies and housekeepers,' one person says. Another reveals, 'I swear, they're flying in Nobu sushi for their kids.' And before visiting day, moms will get a blowout and wear styled designer wear (because they have to look good for their content, right?). Similar to the influencer-ization of sorority rush on college campuses, this visiting day maximalism started with influencers. 'What happened was, as things do nowadays, a bunch of Instagram-famous moms sent their kids to camp in Maine and started documenting visiting day,' one mom shares. 'Now everyone does the same thing.' 'It's all about how fast you run, how fast your kid runs to you, how good your kid looks, how good you look,' a mom with two daughters at Camp Starlight in Starlight, Pennsylvania, told the outlet. 'That's on Instagram. But then you speak to people in real life, and they're like, 'Visiting day was the worst day ever. My kids cried the whole day,' or whatever.' Last year, a TikToker named Erin Raii opened the lid on how much these expensive summer camps with 'Ivy League reputations' actually cost. One camp in New York will meet with families at their homes for interviews to make sure they're the right fit. If their kid gets in, it cost more than $16,000 for the summer. Another camp in Maine is also $16,000, plus additional charges for extras like equestrian activities. TikTokers are weighing in on this consumerism trend, with one person named Max Cohen (@murrayhillboy) doing a skit pretending to be teens telling their parents what to bring for visiting day and assuring their kids that their housekeeper is keeping up with their Snapchat streaks. According to the comments, this parody isn't far off. 'My kid told me that one of her friends called her parents from the camp to remind her sister to keep up her Duolingo streak 😂,' one person commented. Someone else noted, 'The summer my son asked me to keep up his Snapchat streaks wasn't pretty 🫣🤣.' 'This is bone chillingly accurate,' another person wrote. TikToker Chloe Hechter (@chloehechter) posted a skit pretending to be a camper writing a letter home on visiting day, asking for Labubus, a LoveShackFancy Stanley 'in either pink or blue,' new Lululemon set, sushi rolls, and more. 'Also can you bring me my iPad so I can watch The Summer I Turned Pretty?' 'Currently at camp. Safe to say all the juniors have labubus,' one person commented. These may be satire, but they represent this real trend. Camp Manitou in Oakland, Maine, asked parents on visiting day, 'What's the first thing your kid asked you to bring?' in a TikTok. These real parents said their sons asked for 'Kansas swag,' 'college league gear,' 'birthday gifts for the bunk,' 'One Piece books,' 'Golden Bear swag,' and 'college league swag.' Only a few asked for practical items, like an extra swimsuit and an eyeglass repair kit. These parents all seemed happy to oblige their kids' random requests, which just goes to show that the satire videos are based on very real experiences. One mom in The Cut article summed up visiting day like this: 'Unfortunately, I would say the parents pretty much lose their minds.' Hey, if you can afford to send your kids away for the summer, why not indulge their extra requests too, right?Best of SheKnows Wolf Monte, Somersault Wonder, & More Unique Celebrity Baby Names Celebrity Exes Who Are Co-Parenting Right These 17 Celebrity Couples Have the Sweetest Baby-Naming Traditions Solve the daily Crossword

Pixalate's June 2025 Delisted Mobile Apps Reports: 46,331 Apps Delisted from Google Play Store & 45,685 from Apple App Store
Pixalate research finds 12,790 apps delisted from the United States (U.S.) Google Play Store were ad-enabled (e.g., had an file), while 3,789 apps delisted from the Apple App Store were ad-enabled London, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pixalate, the leading ad fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform, today released the June 2025 Delisted Mobile Apps Reports for the United States (U.S.) Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The reports analyze apps delisted in June, including those enabled for programmatic advertising. The reports include a list of the top delisted apps by app store, enabled for programmatic advertising (based on the presence of an file). The report identifies applications that are no longer available for download from the U.S. Apple App Store and Google Play Store, according to Pixalate's data. Delisted apps do not indicate which party initiated the delisting action, i.e., Apple, Google, or the app developer. While some apps are delisted for benign reasons, others are removed due to more nefarious behaviors, including ad fraud and non-compliance with privacy regulations or app store policies, which may expose advertisers to potential financial or legal risks. Because apps can be delisted for various reasons, Pixalate neither asserts nor assigns a reason for any delisting action. Additionally, it is generally not publicly available information as to who the initiator of the delisting is, so it is often not possible to know whether the app store or the developer triggered the research focuses on app profile information. It provides various insights observed in the programmatic advertising bid stream, such as the developer's country of registry, the level of app abandonment, and the number of delisted apps with advertising (as indicated by an file). Key Findings: Delisted Mobile Apps (June 2025) Google Play Store Delisted apps: 46,331 apps delisted in June 2025, representing a 7% decrease from May 2025 12,790 apps delisted were enabled for programmatic advertising (i.e., had declared an file) in June 2025 Google Play Store: Top 5 Delisted Apps in June 2025 (by downloads) Rank App ID App Title Estimated Downloads Developer Name 1 upday news for Samsung 100.0M upday GmbH & Co.
