INTRODUCTION The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has made great use of the Internet and online social media sites to spread its message and encourage others, particularly young people, to support the organization, to travel to the Middle East to engage in combat—fighting side-by-side with other jihadists, or to join the group by playing a supporting role—which is often the role carved out for young women who are persuaded to join ISIS. The terrorist group has even directed sympathizers to commit acts of violence wherever they are when traveling to the Middle East isn’t possible. -

Washington, DC 20549 Counsel for Plaintiff UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff, Case No. 19-cv-5244 vs. Jury Trial Demanded KIK INTERACTIVE INC. Defendant. COMPLAINT Plaintiff United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) alleges as follows against Defendant Kik Interactive Inc. (“Kik”): SUMMARY 1. From May to September 2017, Kik offered and sold one trillion digital tokens called “Kin.” More than 10,000 investors worldwide purchased Kin for approximately $100 million in U.S. dollars and digital assets – over half of this sum coming from investors located in the United States. However, Kik’s offer and sale of Kin was not registered with the SEC, and investors did not receive the disclosures required by the federal securities laws. 2. Congress enacted the Securities Act of 1933 to regulate the offer and sale of securities. In contrast to ordinary commerce, which often operates under the principle of caveat emptor, Congress enacted a regime of full and fair disclosure, requiring those who offer and sell securities to Case 1:19-cv-05244 Document 1 Filed 06/04/19 Page 2 of 49 the investing public to provide sufficient, accurate information to allow investors to make informed decisions before they invest. Such disclosure is ordinarily provided in a “registration statement,” which provides public investors with financial and managerial information about the issuer of the securities, details about the terms of the securities offering, the proposed use of investor proceeds, and an analysis of the risks and material trends that would affect the enterprise. -

Apps Parents Need to Know
Apps Parents Need to Know Twitter What is it? Twitter is a microblogging site that allows users to post brief, 140-character messages -- called "tweets" -- and follow other users' activities. Why is it popular? Teens like using it to share quick tidbits about their lives with friends. It's also great for keeping up with what's going on in the world -- breaking news, celebrity gossip, etc. What do you need to know? 1. Public tweets are the norm for teens. Though you can choose to keep your tweets private, most teens report having public accounts (Pew Internet & American Life Project, 2013). Talk to your kids about what they post and how a post can spread far and fast. 2. Updates appear immediately. Even though you can remove tweets, your followers can still read what you wrote until it's gone. This can get kids in trouble if they say something in the heat of the moment. 3. It's a promotional tool for celebs. Twitter reels teens in with behind-the-scenes access to celebrities' lives, adding a whole new dimension to celebrity worship. You may want to point out how much marketing strategy goes into the tweets of those they admire. Instagram What is it? Instagram is a platform that lets users snap, edit and share photos and 15-second videos -- either publicly or with a network of followers. Why is it popular? Instagram unites the most popular features of social media sites: sharing, seeing and commenting on photos. Instagram also lets you apply fun filters and effects to your photos, making them look high quality and artistic.
