BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanon is a country where sacrifices and blood have been made, and we will discuss any matter related to it in Lebanon; no one think of imposing any diktats on us
Sheikh Qassem: We must beware of the advocates of sedition whose hands are stained with blood and who serve the Israeli project
Sheikh Qassem: We are a fundamental component of Lebanon, so how the resistance is approached must be reconsidered
Sheikh Qassem: The Resistance is part of the Taif Constitution, stipulated therein, thus a constitutional matter cannot be discussed by voting, rather, it requires consensus
Sheikh Qassem: The state must develop plans to confront pressure and protect security and sovereignty, not strip its citizens of their capabilities and losing its points of strength
Sheikh Qassim: Does handing over weapons to 'Israel', at its request and at the request of America and some Arab countries, enforce sovereignty?
Sheikh Qassem: Does giving up weapons and surrendering to 'Israel' protect sovereignty?
Sheikh Qassem: America has exhausted Lebanon, along with some Arabs, under the slogan 'Do whatever is necessary and we will provide you [with what you want].'
Sheikh Qassem: Defending Lebanon against any new Israeli aggression will lead to missiles falling on the Israeli entity
Sheikh Qassim: Submitting to external pressures to stop funding is not allowed; what is the benefit of funding if we become henchmen?

Instagram reveals new updates to users' control of content material

The social media platform is stepping up to new upgrades after its users expressed anger with the recent and continuous updates to the platform.

Instagram has revealed that testing is taking its course for developing new settings for users to control what kind of content they see on the social media platform.

In a blog post, Meta stated they are testing the ability to select multiple posts and mark them through the “not interested” button, which is supposed to flag to the app that a user doesn’t want to see similar content. As of now, Instagram users can click on a single post to flag it, but there’s no way to do that through multiple ones. 

Instagram disclosed that it will also begin experimenting with how users can make a list of keywords, phrases, emojis, and hashtags in recommended posts they’re not interested in and don’t want to see on their feed. In June, the platform TikTok released a similar keyword-based feature, giving users the ability to “dislike” videos that would help direct their algorithm towards more of what they want to see.

The new steps taken by Instagram come after users objected to the consecutive changes piling up on the platform. Besides the flood of Reels, many Instagram users were angered by the amount of "recommended" content appearing on their feeds from accounts they don’t follow, a matter that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced will only increase going forward.

Instagram already offers a few ways to cater to users' feeds, like snoozing suggested posts for 30 days and a “Favorites” list to add other users to so that posts from those accounts don’t get buried. The "Explore" page has settings to manage your algorithm and Meta is switching to focus more on discovery since it would amp up the competition with TikTok.

In the first quarter of 2022, findings showed that worldwide app installations reached nearly 37 billion on the #AppStore and #Google Play, with #TikTok exceeding 3.5 billion all-time downloads.
