If you haven't seen the recent scam episode from Last Week Tonight, please make the time to add it to your watchlist. 📺 KONTXT has been fighting messaging fraud for years, stopping hundreds of millions of messages before they reach our phones. While identifying large scale fraud is easy, targeted attacks can easily slip under the radar of traditional SMS and MMS filters and all too often rely on end-user reporting after the damage is done. It doesn't have to be that way. KONTXT offers AI-powered detection capable of helping both phone carriers and messaging providers protect their networks, as well as end-users devices via apps. Our models are regularly trained and updated to learn new patterns and techniques as they arise, meaning hopefully the scammers have to add a few more chapters to their playbooks!

In this video with Bill and Malissa, we see the use of pepper spray as a tool in self-defence. I've posted many times about how tools can help, but unfortunately, many people purchase them as a shortcut to safety. Malissa is very skilled at violence prevention and self-defence so this becomes an add-on to her safety arsenal, not the only method of personal safety. If I had my way, it would be mandatory for people to learn basic violence prevention and self-defence before adopting tools other than our minds and bodies. #selfdefense #violenceprevention #pepperspray #personalsafety
