Image Credits:Jens Büttner/picture alliance / Getty Images 7:00 AM PDT · April 19, 2025 The first week of the Meta antitrust trial brought new revelations about how the company formerly known as Facebook approached the competitive threat posed by Instagram in the early 2010s. The U.S. government is accusing Meta of violating competition laws by acquiring companies like Instagram and WhatsApp that threatened the Facebook monopoly. If lawyers for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are successful, the government could force Meta to break up its business by selling off Instagram and WhatsApp. As part of the trial, the FTC shared compelling evidence to demonstrate that Facebook was very much aware of the risk Instagram created for its business as the photo-sharing app grew in popularity. In documents containing Facebook’s internal emails, Facebook execs fret over Instagram’s growth and discuss how much to pay for the app, if Facebook were to acquire it. The company execs also discuss other strategies for limiting Instagram’s growth, including copying its functionality and releasing an app of their own, » Read More

Read moreDetailsThursday April 17, 2025 3:26 am PDT by Tim HardwickApple has seemingly had one of its most useful AI tools blocked from Meta's apps. Writing Tools, which is an Apple Intelligence feature, is not available to use in Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads, and Messenger. Apple's Writing Tools include options to proofread, rewrite, and summarize text almost anywhere you can type in iOS 18. A long press in a text input field usually brings up the feature, but not in any of Meta's apps currently. Brazilian blog Sorcererhat Tech spotted the lack of Writing Tools across Meta's apps. Developers can choose whether to allow the tools in their apps, so it looks as if Meta has declined the offer. According to a Wall Street Journal report from June 2024, Apple held discussions with Meta about integrating the Facebook owner's AI model into iOS 18 as part of its Apple Intelligence feature set. However, Apple turned down the AI partnership due to privacy concerns. » Read More

Read moreDetailsJanet Diaz is a council member and candidate for mayor in 2025. LANCASTER, Pa. — Lancaster City Council member and mayoral candidate Janet Diaz is being called on to resign by multiple colleagues because of a Facebook post they and community activists say was insensitive. A post on Diaz's Facebook page on April 2nd came following what Diaz believed was a show of rudeness by colleague Ahmed Ahmed at the previous day's meeting. The post referenced Ahmed's background, which saw his family come to Lancaster as refugees when he was three years old. "During a city council meeting, I requested that the number of questions directed to the Chief of Police be limited due to time constraints," the post reads. "However, Councilor Ahmed responded with noticeable rudeness, particularly toward the women presenting, and dismissively suggested that any questions be redirected to Chief Mendez instead. His attitude only added tension to an already pressed discussion. This is not a Lancasterian way of treating women with disrespect. We have other candidates running that were born/raised in Lancaster." Ahmed told FOX43 News that he believed the post and its distinction between those born and not born in Lancaster contained elements of racism and

Read moreDetailsThe head of the Libertarian Party of Colorado repeatedly used anti-gay slurs last week in an exchange with a person who criticized the party’s social media presence, according to copies of the messages reviewed by The Denver Post. The party’s chairwoman, Hannah Goodman, sent the slurs Friday after a commenter privately messaged the party’s Facebook account to criticize what he saw as its “asinine” postings. After an initial exchange that included the commenter sarcastically highlighting the party’s lack of electoral success, Goodman — replying through the party’s official account — defended her party’s achievements and repeatedly referred to the commenter using an anti-gay slur. She also repeatedly referred to him using a slur for people with intellectual disabilities. Goodman continued using the slurs after the commenter said he planned to take the messages to the media. The party confirmed in a statement Saturday that Goodman, a congressional candidate last year, sent the messages. In a subsequent email exchange in which the commenter asked party leadership for an apology, Goodman told the commenter that she had authored the messages through the party’s Facebook account. » Read More
