Does College ‘Party’ App Yeti Encourage Criminal Behaviour?

Trending

Available for over a year

An alleged sexual assault has surfaced through the controversial social network Yeti – Campus Stories, also dubbed a college ‘party’ app. How does it work, and why are so many students using it to upload illicit material? And – a video that suggests an Egyptian man died after being tortured by police has been widely shared on Facebook. It’s the latest in a spate of recent deaths that have spurred people to speak out against the government on social media. Now some are drawing parallels with similar events that triggered the Egyptian revolution in 2011. (Image: Students on bench / Image credit: Shutterstock)
