Polymath academy or echo chamber? A personal take on knowledge, control, and WhatsApp moderation A few months back, I was made a member of a WhatsApp group called Polymath Academy. Frankly, I didn’t know what the word polymath meant until its administrator, veteran Gujarat-based sociologist Vidyut Joshi — with whom I have been interacting since the mid-1990s when he was with the Gandhi Labour Institute — told me it refers to a person with an exceptional academic record. One of the few who guided me in writing some crucial news articles for The Times of India, where I served from 1993 to 2012, and thereafter on this blog, Prof Joshi's deep understanding of social issues stands out in stark contrast to the general lack of intellectual insight in Gujarat. I generally avoid going through every post on the WhatsApp groups I'm part of, though I occasionally share links to my reports and blogs — published on my news blog, counterview.net — to widen their reach. I’ve typically done this in several media groups, but lately, I thought: why not do the same in the group formed by Prof Joshi so that academics could also read, reflect, and critique them? What

WhatsApp released a new update for iOS, according to which users will be able to log in to more than one account simultaneously, without installing a separate app such as WhatsApp Business. However, this is not available for testing, as they claimed that it’s under development.   The multi-account feature has been available on Android since October 2023. This allows you to easily manage the number of accounts with just a single click. Most of us encounter storage issues, especially when using Android , and you have to install multiple softwares for that. In addition, if we install 3 to 4 WhatsApp applications on a mobile device, it can make it feel like it’s flooded with the specific app. So, WhatsApp has got you covered here.  Moreover, with the eSIM technology, users can save up to eight or more SIMs, which makes it difficult to manage eight to nine WhatsApp accounts. eSIM technology is mainly available in the iPhone. So, instead of relying on multiple apps, users can switch in seconds. WhatsApp has targeted a problem strategically, that is a necessity for businesses. Now, people can easily enjoy multiple accounts on the same device and app. However, what we should notice is

Startseite Verbraucher Stand: 29.06.2025, 19:05 Uhr Von: Vivian Werg Kommentare Eine rührende WhatsApp-Nachricht wirkt harmlos – doch wer sie öffnet, tappt womöglich in eine gefährliche Falle. Verbraucherschützer schlagen Alarm. Kassel – Nachrichten schreiben, Bilder senden, Sprachanrufe führen: Für Millionen Menschen in Deutschland ist WhatsApp aus dem Alltag kaum wegzudenken. Doch genau das macht den Messengerdienst für Betrüger so attraktiv. Denn emotionale Inhalte verbreiten sich rasant und wirken glaubwürdig, wenn sie von Bekannten kommen. Derzeit erhalten WhatsApp-Nutzer vermehrt eine scheinbar harmlos wirkende Nachricht über ein Mädchen namens Marielis, die Stimmen benötigt, um ein kostenloses Studium zu bekommen. Was nach einer rührenden Bitte aussieht, ist in Wahrheit ein raffinierter Phishing-Versuch, die gezielt auf Gefühle und Vertrauen setzt, schreibt das österreichische Verbraucherschutzportal Mimikama. Woran Sie den Betrug erkennen und wie Sie sich davor schützen können. Eine emotionale WhatsApp-Nachricht lockt Nutzer per Link – Worauf sie jetzt achten müssen © Screentshot von WhatsApp/ Quelle: Mimikama Kettenbrief via WhatsApp: So funktioniert der Betrug Dem Bericht zufolge erscheint die Nachricht mit einem emotional aufgeladenen Inhalt, inklusive Bild eines Mädchens, das angeblich an einem Tanzwettbewerb teilnimmt und Stimmen sammelt.

AC Milan will be among the three Serie A clubs that will spend the most on transfers this summer, according to Luca Bianchin. Speaking in a video on La Gazzetta dello Sport, the journalist confirms that Milan plan to invest in the squad despite missing out on at least €70m from not having any Champions League football. The variable in the Rossoneri’s favour is the sales of players that are not deemed part of the plans. Alvaro Morata, Samuel Chukwueze, Noah Okafor, Yunus Musah and Malick Thiaw are all expected to be sold. How the money will be spent In terms of targets, Giovanni Leoni is the first choice for the centre-back department if Thiaw is sold, but his current asking price is €35m which will make signing the Parma talent hard.

Guela Doue is an option for the right-back position. The directors have already made it clear that they wish to spend on a striker to compete with Santiago Gimenez, and a large part of the budget could be allocated to that particular role. Finally

Police have warned schools about two chat groups containing racist, violent and pornographic content. In an email forwarded by schools to parents, Humberside Police said the WhatsApp groups were created by local schoolchildren and were causing "great concern". It also said "a number of unknown paedophiles are also using these groups to gain access to children". WhatsApp owner Meta said it offered the option to block content and "users can report content or groups they believe break our terms of service". The email sent on Thursday morning by the force's Safer Schools team said all schools in the Humberside Police area had been contacted and encouraged to advise parents to report any information about the groups to officers because they were being accessed by youngsters. More than 180 people are members of the "These Guys Are Bad" and "All The Bad Guys" groups, the force added. Supt Iain Pottage said parents should talk to their children about the risks involved using social media and the internet. He said officers worked with schools to warn them of "any emerging risks online". "We also have a dedicated police online investigations team who work with a variety of other agencies to help promote

Ott Tänak stormed into the lead of Acropolis Rally Greece, while fellow world champion Kalle Rovanperä fell backwards with a puncture. Like they have in Portugal and Sardinia, Tänak has been locked in a battle with Sébastien Ogier at the head of the field. After five stages, Ogier had been ahead by just 2.9s – but Tänak obliterated his rival by 13s on SS6 to establish a 10.1s advantage. However the Estonian cautioned that road cleaning had played its part, with him starting the stage fourth and Ogier second. Adrien Fourmaux duly went faster still by 3.1s, meaning he’s now second by just 5.0s overall. Rovanperä had been fourth overall but lost two minutes when he became the latest driver to stop and change a puncture. “Nothing really happened,” Rovanperä said. “It’s weird sometimes – the whole day we’ve had huge hits on the tires and they are fine, and then we get a puncture when there was nothing to hit. That’s life sometimes – nothing we can do about it.” Toyota team-mate Sami Pajari has been ejected from the fight completely meanwhile, retiring on the road section before the stage. That means the overall leaderboard has shaken up, with

J Studios/Getty Images Meta is introducing a new AI-powered feature into WhatsApp designed to summarize unread messages. The feature, called Message Summaries, was announced Wednesday in a WhatsApp company blog post. Message Summaries leverages Meta AI to provide brief, bulleted lists outlining key points from a message chain on the social messaging app. It's built upon Meta's Private Processing technology, which means the summaries are conveyed privately to users without any of the information being shared with Meta or WhatsApp.  Also: How to clear your Android phone cache (and why it makes such a big difference) Message Summaries appear at the top of WhatsApp message chains as a small, rectangular icon listing the number of unread messages in the chat. Simply tap the icon, and Meta AI will generate a bulleted list of high-level key points extracted from the messages. The feature is intended to provide users with quick updates when they don't have time to dig into the full contents of a message thread -- for example, when they're quickly checking their phone in between meetings.  Apple introduced a similar AI-powered text-summarization feature in October as part of its Apple Intelligence software package.  Meta AI, the company's suite of

New WhatsApp feature uses Meta’s AI to generate brief summaries of unread chats; summaries remain private and visible only to the user New Delhi: WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature called Message Summaries, which uses Meta’s artificial intelligence to provide users with a quick overview of unread messages in a chat. The feature is designed to assist users in catching up on conversations they may have missed during periods of inactivity. According to WhatsApp, the tool is especially useful in scenarios such as after a flight or between meetings, when users return to the app and require a rapid understanding of ongoing chats. The AI-generated summaries are created using Meta’s Private Processing technology. “The process is private and visible only to the user who enables it,” WhatsApp said. The company also stated that the technology ensures neither Meta nor WhatsApp can access the content of the messages or the summaries. According to the report, the Message Summaries feature is not turned on by default and requires manual activation by the user. WhatsApp has not yet provided a timeline for when the feature will be rolled out globally. The update comes after the U.S. House of Representatives banned WhatsApp on
