Over 50 Zones With CCTV Cameras To Combat Illegal Dumping

Over 50 Zones With CCTV Cameras To Combat Illegal Dumping
Apr 10 2024 Share

Valletta’s local council has deployed CCTV cameras in areas notorious for illegal garbage dumping, aiming to tackle non-compliance with waste disposal regulations.

Mayor Alfred Zammit highlighted that the decision was prompted by persistent violations of waste disposal laws, with some individuals disregarding collection schedules and outsiders leaving trash in Valletta.

Despite intensified educational campaigns on waste management, certain individuals continue to flout regulations.

The newly installed cameras, costing €6,000, are strategically placed at intersections like Merchant Street/Manuel Street, St Nicholas Street/St Paul’s Street, Mediterranean Street/St Nicholas Street, and Bakery Street/St Dominic Street. Zammit revealed plans to expand camera coverage to other parts of Valletta soon.

Monitoring of the CCTV cameras will be overseen by the enforcement agency LESA, which can impose fines on offenders caught dumping or mismanaging waste. The initiative was supported by Paul Farrugia, President of the Port Regional Council, and Alison Zerafa Civelli, Minister responsible for local councils, who emphasized the importance of such enforcement measures.

Civelli underscored that these efforts align with the regional waste management system implemented at the beginning of 2023, shifting responsibility from local councils to regional authorities.

Farrugia noted that the installation of cameras across the region, monitored by LESA, reflects broader efforts to enhance enforcement against illegal dumping.

TikTok Testing Photo-Sharing App To Rival Instagram

TikTok Testing Photo-Sharing App To Rival Instagram
Apr 10 2024 Share

TikTok plans to challenge Instagram with the launch of a new photo-sharing app called “TikTok Notes.” This move reflects the trend of social media platforms imitating each other’s features, with Instagram having previously launched Reels in response to TikTok’s success.

Mike Proulx from Forrester noted that successful imitation can pay off, citing Instagram’s adoption of Snapchat’s “Stories” feature. However, he cautioned that similar attempts, like Twitter’s, have failed, underscoring the uncertainty of success in this competitive landscape.

The notification received by some TikTok users suggests that TikTok Notes will allow users to share photo posts, a feature currently available within the TikTok app.

Screenshots show that users can opt out of having their photo posts shared to the new app. Social media consultant Matt Navarra expressed skepticism about the necessity of another photo-sharing app, given the existing options available.

Launching a separate app like Notes represents a strategic shift for TikTok, likely influenced by regulatory challenges and the need to diversify its offerings.

Jasmine Enberg from Insider Intelligence highlighted that photo-sharing remains a space where TikTok does not have a dominant presence. Proulx suggested TikTok could learn from Meta’s approach with Threads by leveraging its existing user base, emphasizing the importance of community, user experience, and algorithms in differentiating social media platforms.
