The Cadastro Positivo is a database that records the payment history of consumers. The system, which can be used to analyze people's credit, assimilates everything that has been properly paid in the consumer's history to define scores that take into account the fulfillment of customer deadlines.

Consolidated by federal law, the Positive Registry is an alternative for banks and financial institutions that need authorization from customers to update their payment history. The system can also guarantee lower interest rates and credit on purchases for consumers who pay their debts on time.

Have you thought about taking photos while traveling? Know that this can happen. Around the world, tourists are prohibited from taking pictures in some of the biggest tourist spots. The ban is imposed, for example, on famous sites like the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon. The impediment also happens in other places, such as museums and casinos in Las Vegas, even if the images are not published on Instagram or any other social network.

Images from these locations are not allowed due to copyright. Therefore, even if you get the click, you are violating Instagram's Terms of Use when posting them. As a rule, the social network tests content sharing without legal permission.

5. Who visited your Instagram profile?

In December, the Stalkci website caught the attention of our readers by stalking visits from an Instagram profile. The user needs to grant access from the platform to his account so that, afterwards, an analysis of visits is made in the last 24 hours. After logging in, the platform informs people who have spied on the profile photos and videos. During our tests, we were able to certify that the tool can list up to 30 users who visited a profile.

The website, however, accesses the user's personal data during the login process. In addition, Instagram does not offer this type of monitoring, which does not guarantee that Stalkci's list of visitors is reliable. Another problem, reported by users of the Reddit forum, shows that the site can make unauthorized posts on the monitored profile.

In 2019, we recorded news involving technology companies, devices and curious subjects that caused great controversy on the web. The period was marked by bizarre issues, such as Amazon delivering urine to a customer and Google searches that relate to black women and education in pornographic content. Even Instagram did not escape: the social network was a decisive part in the event of a turnaround in sharing the millionaire heritage of French singer Johnny Hallyday.

Other polemics were also on the radar, such as errors in the facial recognition of criminals, apps that promise to spy on friends on Instagram, the regret of the creator of the "retute" button on Twitter and cases of homophobia on YouTube.

Groups of software users with 3D graphics are marketing avatars of real people so that they can be inserted into pornographic videos. The procedure performed with artificial intelligence algorithms to reproduce anyone's face. The practice was reported by Vice magazine and found in posts in the Reddit forum community.

Initially created to satisfy sexual fantasies, avatars can be used without people's consent as in the case of deepfakes in videos on the web. In addition, the elaboration of 3D models does not depend on technical knowledge or authorizations of creative stages.
