iStock Twitter users glommed onto an inventive way to harness the power of tweets that go viral to make a few bucks for themselves. A growing number of  Twitter  users –- many of them with very few followers of their own -- have glommed onto an inventive way to harness the power of tweets that go viral to make a few bucks for themselves. These savvy users do this first by finding a tweet that’s garnering a lot of attention. They then use the reply tool to point the Twitterverse toward a brand, which, in turn, pays a small fee in exchange for the mention. None of this happens through Twitter’s established advertising system, meaning the company doesn’t get a cut of the transaction, and it may break Twitter Inc.’s rules requiring disclosure of payment for promotion. Here’s how it plays out for Blake Forbes. The 20-year-old college student from Austin, Minnesota, runs the Twitter account @BirdExecutive. It only has about 8,000 followers.

A new update was recently pushed out for its users in the country that includes a new notification confirming the same. The changes in privacy policy have been introduced to offer better transparency around how personal information is processed. The update in privacy policy comes right after the recent ban of 59 Chinese apps in India, including the likes of TikTok, CamScanner, Shareit, Shein, and more. Earlier this week we reported about an order released by the Ministry of IT that added 47 more Chinese apps that were mostly clones of the previously banned apps.
