Hand-picked News

Meta's CEO just got caught in a lie, and the receipts are damning.

  • A 2015 email shows Zuckerberg pushed teams to boost daily app time by 12%. He told Congress Instagram never had usage goals. Whoops.

  • Meta knew 4 million kids under 13 were on Instagram in 2015. That's 30% of all 10-12 year olds in the U.S. They did nothing.

  • Meta's own experts said ban beauty filters for teens. Zuckerberg ignored them and blamed Apple for not doing more age checks instead.

This is the first real jury trial where a tech CEO has to defend whether their app was designed to be addictive. TikTok and Snap already settled rather than face this. If Meta loses, every social platform is next.

⚠️ The stakes: A loss means billions in damages, new laws, and the end of growth-at-all-costs design. This isn't going away.

100 million weekly ChatGPT users in India, and OpenAI's finally building local infrastructure to keep up.

  • OpenAI partnered with Tata to build 100MW of data center capacity, with plans to scale to 1GW. That's enough power to run some of the biggest AI operations on the planet.

  • Tata is rolling out ChatGPT Enterprise to hundreds of thousands of employees. It's one of the largest enterprise AI deployments ever.

  • Local data centers mean faster speeds and compliance with India's strict data laws. OpenAI just unlocked access to government and enterprise customers who couldn't use their services before.

India is already one of OpenAI's biggest markets outside the US. Now they're opening offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru, signing deals with major Indian companies, and building the infrastructure to dominate long term.

✅ Bottom line: While everyone watches the AI race in the US, OpenAI is quietly building a stronghold in the world's most populous country. India could become their second biggest market, and they're betting billions on it.

Meta is shutting down messenger.com and forcing you back to Facebook.

  • The standalone Messenger website dies in April 2026. After that, you'll have to use facebook.com/messages to chat on desktop.

  • No Facebook account? You're stuck on mobile only. Meta is cutting off desktop access entirely for non-Facebook users.

  • This comes right after Meta killed the standalone desktop apps for Windows and Mac. They're dismantling everything Messenger related that isn't Facebook.

Meta spent over a decade making Messenger its own separate thing. Now they're reversing it all to cut costs and maintain fewer platforms.

⚠️ The problem: If you deactivated Facebook but still use Messenger, you just lost desktop access. Meta is banking on you caving and reactivating your account.

Do this now: If you need desktop messaging, start moving important chats to Signal, Telegram, or WhatsApp before April.
