Los Angeles (CNN) — Lawyers for a now-20-year-old woman argued that addictive features harmed her mental health as opening statements began Monday in a landmark trial against Meta and YouTube, the first of hundreds of similar cases to go to trial. The plaintiff — identified by her first name, Kaley, or her initials, KGM — and her mother accused the tech companies of intentionally creating addictive platforms that caused her to develop anxiety, body dysmorphia and suicidal thoughts. Lawyers for Meta and YouTube have indicated they will argue that a difficult family life, not social media, was responsible for her mental health challenges. Speaking on Monday in front of a jury in state court in Los Angeles, Kaley’s lawyer Mark Lanier called social media apps like YouTube and Instagram “digital casinos,” saying the app’s “endless scroll feature” creates dopamine hits that can lead to addiction. “This case is about two of the richest corporations who have engineered addiction in children’s brains,” Lanier said in his opening statement. “The swipe, for a child, like Kaley, this motion is a handle of a slot machine. But every time she swipes, it’s not for money, but for mental stimulation.” Parents and safety advocates

Google Translate, now powered by Gemini, is vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, a direct consequence of Google switching the service to Gemini models in late 2025. Users can bypass the translation function entirely by embedding natural language instructions that speak directly to the underlying language model. The trick was first discovered by a Tumblr user (via LessWrong). It works by entering a question in a foreign language like Chinese, then adding an English meta-instruction below it. Instead of translating the text, Google Translate answers the question. A prompt injection in Google Translate causes the tool to answer a question about Beijing in 1989 instead of translating it. | Image: via Tumblr LLM jailbreaker "Pliny the Liberator" showed on X that the exploit goes well beyond harmless questions. Using the same technique, they got Google Translate to produce dangerous content, including instructions for making drugs and malware. Using prompt injection, Google Translate was tricked into providing instructions for making methamphetamine instead of translating the input. | Image: via X Google switched Google Translate to Gemini models in December 2025. The exact model powering the service isn't publicly known. The system itself claims to use Gemini 1.5 Pro, but that isn't reliable

In August 2025, Rex pleaded guilty to seven counts of wire fraud, seven counts of computer fraud, one count of child pornography possession, and one count of attempted enticement of a minor. “This defendant is the dangerous stranger lurking on the internet that every parent fears,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd stated. “And he made the deception even worse by posing as tech support to get access to private images. I commend the cyber investigators at the FBI for bringing him to justice.” WA man defrauded more than 170 victims Between July 2020 and March 2023, Rex defrauded more than 170 victims of their private and intimate photos that were stored in their Snapchat accounts, according to records filed in the case.

(Image credit: Sanuj Bhatia / Android Central) What you need to know WhatsApp Web now lets users make and answer audio and video calls directly from the browser for the first time. The new calling feature on WhatsApp Web supports end-to-end encryption and screen sharing, similar to desktop apps. The feature is currently limited to WhatsApp Web beta users, with a wider rollout expected soon. After years of waiting, WhatsApp has finally started rolling out the ability to make and answer audio and video calls directly from its web client. Alongside desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and more recently iPadOS, WhatsApp has long offered a web client that lets users send and receive messages through a browser. The functionality has existed for over a decade now, and while WhatsApp Web has seen several feature additions and UI changes over the years, the ability to answer calls was missing until now. As spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp Web is now rolling out support for both making and answering calls directly from the browser. The report notes that the feature has been in development for around a year and is finally starting to reach users. (Image credit: WABetaInfo) Similar to the desktop apps

Fresh off a breathless Super Bowl Sunday, we’re less thrilled to bring you this week’s Weirdo Wednesday. Two stories caught our eye, both involving men who crossed clear lines and invaded women’s privacy online. Last week, 27-year-old Kyle Svara of Oswego, Illinois admitted to hacking women’s Snapchat accounts across the US. Between May 2020 and February 2021, Svara harvested account security codes from 571 victims, leading to confirmed unauthorized access to at least 59 accounts. Rather than attempting to break Snapchat’s robust encryption protocols, Svara targeted the account owners themselves with social engineering. After gathering phone numbers and email addresses, he triggered Snapchat’s legitimate login process, which sent six-digit security codes directly to victims’ devices. Posing as Snapchat support, he then sent more than 4,500 anonymous messages via a VoIP texting service, claiming the codes were needed to “verify” or “secure” the account. Svara showed particular interest in Snapchat’s My Eyes Only feature—a secondary four-digit PIN meant to protect a user’s most sensitive content. By persuading victims to share both codes, he bypassed two layers of security without touching a single line of code. He walked away with private material, including nude images. Svara didn’t do this solely for his

It helps sourcing and professional engagement. ISLAMABAD — LinkedIn, long regarded as a professional networking site, is increasingly being used by journalists as a platform for reporting and audience engagement. According to LinkedIn’s publicly reported figures, the platform has expanded beyond recruitment and corporate updates into a space where industry leaders, policymakers, executives, and subject experts share real-time insights. Newsrooms and individual reporters have begun publishing original posts, analysis threads, and direct-source queries on LinkedIn to reach decision-makers and professional communities. Unlike platforms primarily driven by entertainment or rapid-fire commentary, LinkedIn’s user base tends to engage with business, policy, technology, and media-related content in a more structured and professional context.

WhatsApp Web has been around since 2015, but the browser version of the messaging platform has yet to support voice or video calls. That’s about to change as the WhatsApp Web beta program is now introducing voice and video calls. The feature is gradually rolling out to beta subscribers and only works for one-to-one voice and video calls. Users can also share their screen during calls. Group calls are expected to arrive at a later point in time with support for calls with up to 32 participants. Call links and scheduled calls are also expected to be gradually rolled out. Calls placed on WhatsApp Web feature automatic end-to-end encryption using the Signal protocol. Source
