Dangers of the metaverse and VR for US youth revealed in new research

Research of online victimization in the metaverse is sorely lacking. A new study explored harm in the metaverse and VR devices among a sample of 5,005 U.S. teens aged 13 to 17. Findings show a significant percentage of youth reported harm in these spaces, including hate speech, bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, grooming behaviors (predators building trust with minors), and unwanted exposure to violent or sexual content. The study also revealed notable gender differences in experiences, emphasizing th

После прочтения сжечь. Как устроен zero-knowledge сервис, где сервер не видит ключ

Привет! Задача возникла банальная: нужно передать коллеге пароль, API-ключ или конфиг. Телега — не хочется, почта — тем более. Существующие решения от OneTimeSecret до PasswordPusher и прочих — либо закрытый код и доверяй на слово, либо требуют своего сервера. Одни требуют регистрации, другие — напичканные всем подряд комбайны. Захотелось сделать так: открытый код, шифрование в браузере, сервер физически не может прочитать содержимое и, разумеется, бесплатно.Так появился BurnAfterRead — self-destructing E2E Read more

The story almost writes itself: they preferred independence, avoided intimacy, kept people out, or failed to make the effort. That may be true for some people. But psychology gives us a more complicated possibility. Some ... Read more Read more

Comparing SARS-CoV-2 with a closely related bat-only virus, they showed that a single amino-acid difference affects whether the immune system fights back or gets suppressed. This may help explain how some animal viruses make the leap to humans and become far more dangerous. Read more
