Short Daily Gadget & Tech News - 20201123
Snapchat
Starting today, Snapchat will compete with TikTok. They start with their own "Spotlight" feed, which is very similar to the competitor's. Snapchat users can submit their best Snaps which will then be shown in the feed. Every day, a $ 1 million pot would be distributed to the users with the most popular Snaps. It does not take into account whether they are an influencer or have many followers.
TikTok
American dancer Charli D'Amelio is number 1 in terms of the number of followers on the social medium TikTok. With 100 million, she is the leading lady. She is followed by dancer Addison Rae (almost 70 million) and in third place is the illusionist Zach King with 52.9 million followers. Popular names like Will Smith (43.2 million) and Dwayne Johnson (29.7 million) have far fewer. Her older sister Dixie D'Amelio is also doing well with 44 million followers.
Google is imposing new rules on the creators of Chrome extensions. From January 18, 2021, they will have to report what data is collected from users and what they do with it. They should put this in the clearest possible description on their extension page. If they don't, they could be removed from March. With these new regulations, Google wants to prevent data from being sold to third parties.
Twitter Fleets
The Twitter Fleets are a bit like the Instagram Stories. Due to a bug in the system, some stories could be viewed much longer. Normally these should disappear on their own after 24 hours. Twitter itself reported this to TechCrunch. They are still working on a solution that they will implement ASAP.

I just found out it takes 5 sheep to make one wool sweater. I didn't even know they knew how to knit.
