Top technology news for the week are as follows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.) <strong><em>Australian Account has been removed by TikTok <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok, a social networking site has removed an Australian\naccount claiming to lure alleged pedophiles to meetings and then capture their\nconfrontation on film, as the NSW police warn people not to take the law into\ntheir own hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/nuro-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/nuro-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/nuro-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/nuro-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/nuro.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The account, which before being taken down had thousands of\nviews and likes, claimed to have confronted alleged pedophiles where the\naccount said, \u201cmeet an underage kid,\u201d seemingly lured from a dating app. 6 men\nhad been shot via video. None of the men in the video had their faces censored\nbut the account had \u201cinnocent until proven guilty in a court of law\u201d on the\nprofile. The account user appeared to be based in New South Wales, based on\nlocations in the videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guardian Australia asked TikTok about the account, and within\na day the account was removed from the platform for violating community\nguidelines. They said, \u201cAs we have made it clear in our community guidelines,\nwe do not allow content that encourages, promotes, or glorifies risky\nbehavior,\u201d a spokeswoman for TikTok said. She also included, \u201cWe also do not\npermit users to encourage others to take part in dangerous activities and we\nremove reported content or behavior that violates our guidelines.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New South Wales police said people should report predatory\nbehavior to the police and not attempt to take the law into their own hands as\nthis could jeopardize any subsequent investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online pedophile hunting accounts on social media are not a\nnew phenomenon. Some of the larger Facebook pages have hundreds of thousands of\nfollowers. Many of those groups have strict rules about what they post and\nattempt to cooperate with police to ensure the proper legal process happens to\nprosecute the people they find. But for the rogue pages that don\u2019t necessarily\nfollow this process, Facebook can remove those pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Purshouse, a lecturer in criminal law at the University\nof East Anglia, has researched similar groups in the United Kingdom and said\nwhile some groups do work with police, some can risk harm not only to\nthemselves but any potential prosecution of those they\u2019re targeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok has blocked a number of the hashtags that the accounts\nuse under its community guidelines, and Purshouse said that was sensible given\nTiktok\u2019s demographic skews are the young generation. \u201cIt\u2019s not appropriate for\nyoung children to be viewing or having access to such sites,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social network sites can often be a hive of predators\nstalking and sending explicit messages to children and women. The federal\ngovernment is currently pushing for tech companies such as Facebook to delay\nmaking their messaging services encrypted by default, which they say would make\nit much harder for law enforcement to investigate child sexual abuse online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Purshouse, the internet has created a problem for people not knowing what their kids are doing and getting access to and then it offers the solution as well. Fifteen or 20 years ago, covert surveillance operations and stings could only really be done by law enforcement but now the internet is putting that power into regular citizens\u2019 hands and they have currently got almost a free hand to wield it as they see fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.) <strong><em>A List of Events Cancelled due to Coronavirus <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-19s growing fear has led to shutting down of dozens of\nevents around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are about hundred thousand people that have been\naffected around the globe and a death toll of approximately 3500 has been\nrecorded.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to John Hopkins University, there are more than 200 cases in the US.
