TikTok is testing its own version of Instagram's ‘broadcast channels'
TikTok is testing a new messaging tool called 'bulletin boards,' the social network confirmed to TechCrunch on Friday. The feature lets brands and creators share public, one-to-many messages to their followers. Bulletin boards are pretty similar to Instagram's broadcast channels feature that launched in 2023. Just like with broadcast channels on Instagram, only the creator of a bulletin board can post messages, and followers are limited to leaving emoji reactions. Bulletin boards support text, image, and video posts. The feature was first spotted by Threads user Christina Garnett. The idea behind the feature is to allow creators and brands to share updates, behind-the-scenes content, and engage with their followers in a more direct way. For example, rather than posting updates through a Story or regular post on TikTok, brands and creators can share them on their bulletin board. The feature also lets accounts promote their content by directly sending it to followers. Some early testers of the feature include People Magazine, Paris Saint-Germain F.C, and the Jonas Brothers. Given that bulletin boards are test feature, it's unknown whether TikTok plans to roll it out out more widely. Plus, it's possible that TikTok may add more functionality. Instagram's broadcast channels, for example, let creators post polls. The launch of bulletin boards is the latest example of one social network borrowing features from another. Back in 2022, TikTok launched Stories, along with support for photos, in order to take on Instagram. Of course, Instagram copied TikTok's entire playbook with the launch of Reels in 2020.

Denmark plans to thwart deepfakers by giving everyone copyright over their own features
The Danish government is planning to tackle the issue of AI-generated deepfakes by granting citizens property rights over their likeness and voice. The proposed legislation would mean that people who find that their features have been used to create a deepfake would have the right to ask the platforms that host the content to take it down, Danish Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt told CNN on Friday. Engel-Schmidt believes that 'technology has outpaced legislation' and the proposed law would help to protect artists, public figures and ordinary people from digital identity theft, which he said is now possible with just a few clicks thanks to the power of generative AI. 'I think we should not accept a situation where human beings can be run through, if you would have it, a digital copy machine and misused for all sorts of purposes,' he said. He cited the example of musical artists who have discovered songs online purporting to be theirs, but which have in fact been made using AI clones of their voice. One such case involves Canadian singer Celine Dion, who in March warned fans about AI-generated content featuring her voice and likeness that was circulating online. And in April 2024, more than 200 artists, including Billie Eilish, Kacey Musgraves, J Balvin, Ja Rule, Jon Bon Jovi, the Jonas Brothers, Katy Perry and Miranda Lambert, signed an open letter speaking out against AI-related threats in the music industry. Engel-Schmidt says he has secured cross-party support for the bill, and he believes it will be passed this fall. Once the legislation is passed, Engel-Schmidt believes a second step would be to introduce more legislation that could impose fines on companies that do not comply with requests to remove content featuring an AI-generated deepfake. 'We are champions of freedom of speech, we would like everyone to be heard, but we also believe that human beings have the right to say yes and no to them being used by generative AI,' he said. As for whether he has discussed the proposed legislation with tech companies, Engel-Schmidt said: 'Not yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I think it's in their interest as well to make AI work for humanity, not against, you know, artists, popular figures and ordinary people.' Athina Karatzogianni, a professor of technology and society at the University of Leicester, England, told CNN that the Danish proposal is one of hundreds of policy initiatives around the world looking to reduce the possible harms associated with the misuse of generative AI. 'Deepfakes can have both individual and social impact, because they can both harm individual rights and also (have) sociopolitical impacts, because they undermine the values that are fundamental to a democracy, such as equality and transparency,' said Karatzogianni.

'She insists she is Moana, she insists that's her name. Like officially her name in school,' Chopra Jonas said, mimicking the way her daughter says, 'I'm Malti Marie Moana.' How sweet is that?! And, of course, her parents loved it. In fact, Chopra Jonas laughed at the idea of correcting her.

'She wants to play Moana and Maui with me, and that means more to me than anything else, is that time with her,' he continued.
