The social media app Yubo is adding new safety features following news that the accused Uvalde gunman allegedly used it to send disturbing messages prior to the shooting.
that in the days and weeks before the Uvalde shooting, accused gunman Salvador Ramos appeared to have sent concerning messages -- including claims about intentions of violence at school -- to numerous young people he met online through the Yubo app. One user told ABC News she tried to report Ramos to Yubo -- but that "regardless of how many times he was reported ... he would still come back.
Representatives of Yubo also said Tuesday the platform has developed a new "combined-signals risk detection algorithm" that will help provide context around potential risks on its platform by assessing "a combination of signals including keywords, emojis, and images."
