FACEBOOK TESTING UNSEND OPTION FOR MESSENGER
Facebook has started testing the unsend feature for the Messenger app, which allows the user to delete the sent message so that it is completely removed from the chat, SEEbiz reports.
Earlier this year Facebook has permanently deleted old messages sent via Messenger by Mark Zuckerberg. This was very unusual because “ordinary” Facebook users cannot do that. If you delete the message from the inbox now, you will no longer see it, but it will remain in the inbox of the person you sent it to.
Facebook has confirmed they are testing this feature, however it is still unclear when the unsend option will be fully available to all users.
UNILEVER BACKS WORLDWIDE BAN ON ANIMAL TESTING FOR COSMETICS
Unilever has called for a global ban on animal testing in the cosmetics industry partnering with animal protection group, Humane Society International (HSI).
Though banned in the EU since 2013, research from Cruelty Free International suggests 115 million animals are still used worldwide for testing purposes with the most common experiments including exposing animals to radiation, forcing them to inhale toxic gases and injecting or feeding them potentially harmful substances.
With 57 brands under its belt, advocation of a worldwide ban on animal testing from Unilever could mark a monumental shift in the industry.
HSI vice president for research and toxicology, Troy Seidle, hopes that Unilever’s decision will inspire others and help put an end to animal testing.
