Anthropologie is set to launch a holiday showhouse in Brooklyn Heights. It will be showcasing fall furniture and seasonal decor within home settings. It will also be integrating digital elements with QR Codes.

The company is using Pinterest as a visually influencing partner for this project. Customers will be able to make purchases directly from online shoppable boards with QR codes placed all about the place. Scanning them will take you to Anthropologie’s Pinterest profile

Pinterest creators like Brigette Romanek, Mallory Fletchall, Benjamin Reynaert, and Whitney Leigh Morris will be part of the campaign. It will be an influencer-driven social media event featuring Anthropologie items used by the influencers.

Elizabeth Preis, global chief marketing officer at Anthropologie Group, says the company’s goal is “to create an immersive, out-of-store experience for our AnthroLiving customers to come in, explore, and get inspired.”

They have chosen Pinterest as their partner so they can reach a “new, eager, and excited audience.” Pinterest’s creative collaborations and trend analytics drew them to the social media platform.  

Opening on October 11, the holiday showhouse by Anthropologie and Pinterest will end on October 15. Appointments can be scheduled between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. for shoppers.

Stylists, too, will be available to help with any queries you might have with shopping and decor. Anthropologie will ensure stylists help you out.

Elizabeth has said, “At Anthropologie, we are driven by creativity, curiosity, and community, and more importantly, inspiring those values in our customers,” continuing further, “The holiday season is when the true magic of our brand comes to life… Pinterest was the perfect partner for us to bring this activation to life and through their trend analytics, and creator partnerships, we look forward to reaching a new, eager, and excited audience.”

Aaron Mutscheller, President of Anthropologie Living and Terrain, explained, “Our ambition is to inspire our community from first click, and first step, with exceptional design and quality always at our core. With the holiday season upon us, we felt it was the perfect time to showcase the latest furniture and seasonal décor so that our customers will have the inspiration and required resources to thoughtfully curate their personal sanctuaries. Through our carefully chosen assortment of products, coupled with our emphasis on ‘scaping’ for a season of celebrations, we look forward to inspiring our customers to design their spaces with memorable experiences in mind.”

Fake Health News

7 Shocking Causes of Fake Health News & Their Consequences 

The term “Fake News” has existed since the 1800s but has resurged in the last decade.   Often, one political side uses it as a defense mechanism against negative articles. The result is societal confusion over what’s true and what’s not.  When health news becomes unreliable, the consequences are more severe. This trend, fueled by political partisanship, has become increasingly dangerous.   Generally, mainstream media like television and print journalism maintain enough integrity to avoid spreading fake health news. However, in the social media landscape, fake stories spread rapidly with a simple click. The Causes The primary cause of fake health news is profit. More shares and likes equal more advertising opportunities. The healthcare industry, especially pharma, spends heavily on advertising.   With every click generating potential revenue, it’s no surprise that some lesser “news” services embellish or even lie to grow their following.  For example, a fake article on “Natural News” claimed the cancer industry was a scam for profit. It received 5.4 million hits, and the site’s Facebook page gained over 3 million followers.   Popularity pays!  In social media monetization, influencers can earn about $10 per 1,000 followers for sponsored content.   Once they hit 1 million followers, they can make up to $1,000 per post solely through advertising.  The Consequences As social media continues to expand, the potential for spreading fake news also grows. The issue needs attention because the consequences can be real and even fatal.   Some stories don’t cause direct harm, such as one claiming ginger is a better cancer treatment than chemotherapy. Still, they mislead people away from proper care.  For patients with terminal illnesses, hope is everything. False stories, like one about a diabetes cure in Mexico, can give false hope to those desperate for solutions. The most harmful fake news encourages the use of FDA-unapproved products.   Although these stories often remain on social media, even the U.S. president once promoted a chemical as a COVID-19 cure.   Clinical trials showed that the chemical increased heart attack risks and was not safe for such use. The Cure Given social media’s global reach, the best way to combat fake news is through education.  Teaching about its dangers can prevent this from becoming a generational issue, unlike other falsehoods rooted in fear.   Currently, many prominent social media platforms flag posts containing false or misleading information.  People believe in fake news because it aligns with their existing beliefs. This makes government regulation challenging, especially as new social media platforms arise, vowing not to flag any content. Again, this approach is money-driven. How to Check Whether a Health News Over Social Media is Fake  With the deluge of health news filling up your Facebook feed, it’s important to know how to spot real from fake.   Sure, fake news can be damn convincing these days — but there are a few good tricks of the trade to protect yourself.  Check the Source First and foremost, always check the source. Is the article coming from a reputable organization or a well-known health authority?   Credible sources include government health agencies, recognized research institutions and trusted news outlets.   If the source is obscure or lacks a professional presence, be cautious. A questionable source can be a red flag even if the information seems convincing.  Reference Studies Legitimate health news should reference studies, expert opinions, or credible data. If the article cites scientific research, look for links to peer-reviewed journals or established medical websites.   Beware of articles that make sensational claims without backing them up with evidence. Even when there’s a study mentioned, ensure it’s recent, relevant, and conducted by recognized experts in the field.  Watch for Emotional Triggers Fake health news often relies on emotional triggers to generate clicks.   If a post uses language like “miracle cure” or “secret the government doesn’t want you to know,” it appeals to your emotions rather than your intellect.   Real health information is rational, calm, and devoid of sensationalism.  Compare against other Reliable Sources If you’re not sure if a piece of information is accurate, see if other reliable sources report similar news.   In fact, if the news article is true, it will likely be reported by more legitimate organizations or outlets as well.   If you only find that news on questionable sites or personal blogs, it’s better to ignore them.  Check the Writer’s Background Who wrote the article? Is it a doctor, a journalist with a strong history of health reporting, or an expert in the field?   If you can’t tell, don’t know what the writer has for credentials, or don’t tie closely to health, their information may be iffy.  Watch out for Biased (and sponsored) Content Sometimes, content is created to sell something, whether it’s a product or an idea. Sponsored articles, particularly those highlighting supplements or treatments, are usually biased.   Check for disclaimers and consider whether the article is more about making money than offering accurate health information.  Publication Date Health guidelines and research are constantly evolving. An article that’s a few years old may not be accurate or relevant anymore.   Be sure to check when it was published to get the most current information.  Use Fact-Checking Websites Lastly, consult fact-checking websites like Snopes, FactCheck.org, or Health Feedback to fact-check a suspicious claim.   These platforms research and investigate viral stories and can usually verify whether something is true or not.

Meta Launching Free Subscription For Ad-Free Experience In Europe

Meta Launching Free Subscription For Ad-Free Experience In Europe

Facebook and Instagram will be removing ads from their platforms and are introducing a paid subscription for users to avail of the feature. The service is available all over the European Union. It will be offered for roughly €9.99 per month on the web or €12.99 / month on iOS and Android to account for additional fees. Meta issued in their statement, “To comply with evolving European regulations, we are introducing a new subscription option in the EU, EEA and Switzerland. In November, we will be offering people who use Facebook or Instagram and reside in these regions the choice to continue using these personalized services for free with ads, or subscribe to stop seeing ads. While people are subscribed, their information will not be used for ads.” The subscription has been introduced to address the concerns of the European Union about Meta’s ad targeting and data collection practices. Meta believes the new policy will have a more clear and definitive privacy requirement met. The requirements are set by the European data laws that include the Digital Markets Act and GDPR. Free access that comes with ads is set to remain available. “If you choose to continue to use our products for free, your experience will stay the same – and that experience will continue to be supported by the tools and settings that we have created to empower people to control their ads experience,” Meta explained. Meta has written in their blog post while announcing the subscription, “We respect the spirit and purpose of these evolving European regulations, and are committed to complying with them.” The ad-free subscription will be available only for those 18 and above in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland. It will initially apply across all linked Facebook and Instagram accounts. Eventually, however, Meta will be charging extra for linked accounts. Starting March 1st, 2024, there will be an additional fee of €6 on the web or €8 on iOS and Android per linked account. The company told The Wall Street Journal that it will temporarily stop showing ads to teenagers in the region from November 6.

Whatsapp Drops Support For Android KitKat

Whatsapp Drops Support For Android KitKat: Latest Updates

Being the most used messaging app, Whatsapp makes business and personal communication easy and universal around the globe. It is important that the app is available to as many people as possible because of its global reach. It is also necessary to keep in mind that different people use different operating systems on their devices. Given that not everyone has access to Android 14, many are still stuck with older versions. The most well-known version Android 4.4, has a user demography of 0.5%. The version was a huge success back in 2013. It has remained a crowd favorite, and it has been hard for many fans to let go. https://twitter.com/AndroidPolice/status/1716941502654333320?s=20 The percentage has been going down steadily over the years, especially after Jelly Bean. It completely lost the support of Google in 2021, which made it obvious that Kit Kat would be up next. According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has recently released a new version that drops support for Android KitKat. This is the only compatibility change that the report mentions at the moment. While it is unlikely that there are many people still using Android 4.4 and relying on WhatsApp regularly, this decision could help reduce maintenance overhead and improve the product for users of current operating systems. Ending support for KitKat isn't new in the tech world. Dropbox ended its support for the Android 4.4 version over three years ago, and Android Messages, (now known as Messages by Google), also dropped its support for this old version in 2018. While we may cherish the fond memories of Android 4.4, technology moves fast, and sometimes, it's better to move on. Recently, WhatsApp has been releasing a lot of updates for its Android version. One of the most significant updates is the multi-account switching feature, which allows users to use more than one WhatsApp account on one installation of the app instead of having multiple copies on their device. Besides, they are testing voice messages, stickers, and extra security features, such as hiding locked chats. As the most used messaging service, the more updates, the better.
