MARS, ADIDAS AND LIDL AMONG BRANDS THAT HAVE PULLED ADS FROM YOUTUBE IN LIGHT OF PAEDOPHILIA FEARS

Mars, Adidas and Lidl are among a number of top brands that have pulled spend on YouTube in light of a recent Times investigation which claimed ads were being served against “inappropriate” and “exploitative” content featuring children.

The content examined in the report was legal and had mostly been posted by children themselves in innocence. The footage includes young girls filming themselves in underwear, doing the splits, brushing their teeth or rolling around in bed.

However, this content is easily exploited by paedophile networks who are said to post messages and links to one another and make predatory observations in the comments section underneath the videos.

Investigations by the BBC and the Times found tens of thousands of “predatory” accounts have been used to leave explicit comments on children’s videos.

The Times report found that BT, Adidas, Deutsche Bank, eBay, Amazon, Mars, Diageo and Talktalk were among dozens of brands whose adverts appeared on the videos.

Upon publishing the report, the Times said Diageo, HP, Cadbury, and Adidas were among those to freeze YouTube spend, calling the situation “completely unacceptable”.

Further brands are following suit, including Mars, Lidl and Deutsche Bank.

YouTube said on Friday (24 November) it is working “urgently” to demonitise such content.

APPLE PLANNING NEW KILLER SMARTPHONE, AND A LEAP TO 5G NETWORK

After breaking off a long partnership with the Chinese company Qualcomm, Apple began to turn towards cooperation with Intel, so over time it started installing their chips into its devices more and more often.

To recall, the first phones that used Intel’s chipsets are the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and rumors in the smartphone industry have it that Apple could soon sign an exclusive deal with Intel.

Of course, as before any official announcement, there are many ‘insider forecasts’ that everyone is eagerly anticipating, according to which the iPhone and iPad manufacturer is about to switch to the 5G network, together with Intel.

Apple was expectedly silent to these speculations.
