German Influencer LizLaz Reacts To Virat Kohli Liking Her Picture On Instagram

Mumabi, April 18 - A minor social media activity involving cricket legend Virat Kohli recently turned into a viral sensation after fans noticed that he had liked — and later unliked — an Instagram post of German influencer LizLaz. While the like disappeared quickly, screenshots had already spread across platforms, sparking widespread discussion and a flood of memes. The curiosity around the incident grew because Kohli does not follow LizLaz, and the interaction reportedly took place on an older post. As social media users dissected every detail, the moment quickly escalated beyond a simple "like," becoming one of the most talked-about online topics. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Breaking her silence, LizLaz responded with a calm and balanced perspective. She revealed that she was unaware of the like initially and only found out after receiving numerous messages. While she admitted feeling happy at first, she later said she felt "a bit sorry" for Kohli as the situation snowballed into an unnecessary controversy. "No, I felt a bit sorry for him, actually! I was so happy that he liked it, but then him unliking it, I felt a bit bad for him because I don't even know how it became such a big story. How did people notice, how did they make it news... that was probably not his intention behind it, but still I am grateful for it, and I appreciate the support from him", LizLaz said (via Hindustan Times). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Interestingly, LizLaz is also a fan of Kohli and follows the Indian Premier League (IPL), particularly supporting the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. She has previously described Kohli as one of the most exciting players to watch, making the viral moment feel more like an unexpected fan interaction than anything serious. Funnily, Virat Kohli was in a similar situation last year, also when he accidentally liked one of the pictures of actress Avneet Kaur, and he later issued a clarification stating that it was non-intentional and happened due to the algorithm of Instagram. Ultimately, the episode highlights how even the smallest actions of global celebrities can become amplified in the digital age. Despite the noise, LizLaz’s composed reaction helped keep the situation light, turning what could have been a controversy into a fleeting and largely harmless viral moment.

Ireland Slaps A Whopping $402 Million Fine On Social Media Site Instagram For Violating Child Privacy Policies

Dublin, September 6 - The social media platform, Instagram has been slapped with a whopping $402 million fine by Ireland's data privacy regulator, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The photo-sharing and content-creating site has been found violating laws regulating the handling of children's data online. ## Instagram has said it will appeal the fine.## According to THR, the Irish government's investigation, which began in 2020, found that Instagram allowed child users aged between 13 and 17 to operate business accounts on Instagram, which facilitated the publication of the users' phone numbers and/or email addresses. That, ruled Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner, was a violation of the country's laws protecting child data online.## A spokesperson for Meta said that Instagram updated its settings over a year ago to address the problem and has since released new features "to keep teens safe and their information private". Instagram disagrees with how the fine was calculated and is carefully reviewing the decision.## The full details of the decision will be published next week. ## Stay tuned...

World's Richest Person, Elon Musk Buys Twitter For $44 Billion

Mumbai, April 26 - The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion on Monday. Once the deal is done, the richest person in the world will own arguably the most influential social platform in the world. The deal will close this year itself, pending approval from shareholders and regulatory agencies.## Elon Musk said at a conference that he made the offer to buy Twitter because it had "become kind of the de facto town square, so it is just really important that people have the reality and the perception that they are able to speak freely within the bounds of the law". ## "This is not a way to make money. My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization. I don’t care about the economics at all", he added. ## After owning Twitter, Musk said in a statement on Monday, shared on Twitter, "Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it". ## Meanwhile, Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey, has supported Elon Musk's Twitter takeover and said that he is the right man to take the platform to new highs. "In principle, I don't believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company, however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness", he said in a Tweet.## "Elon's goal of creating a platform that is “maximally trusted and broadly inclusive” is the right one. This is also @paraga's (Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal) goal, and why I chose him. Thank you both for getting the company out of an impossible situation. This is the right path... I believe it with all my heart", he added in the next tweet.## Dorsey, who stepped down as Twitter CEO last year, is set for a $978 million cash payout upon the deal of selling Twitter to Musk is officially done. ## Stay tuned...
