I've finally rid of #meta apps from my #android phone. Now to sort out #google apps & find an alternative #Foss #os for my phone. Unfortunately these phone OS's are either too expensive to buy & use or unavailable for majority of phones out there. I'm already using #Foss app's to replace some of the Google app's.
I'm using @pixelfed instead of #instagram and obviously @Mastodon instead of #facebook. For emails, I've #thunderbird and for #maps I've #osmandapp. I use #fdroid instead of #playstore

Exclusive: Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount
If Meta settles on the 20% figure, the layoffs will be the company's most significant since a restructuring in late 2022 and early 2023 that it dubbed the "year of efficiency." It employed nearly 79,000 people as of December 31.

La crittografia E2E non sarà sostituita da un’altra forma equivalente su #Instagram DM dopo l’8 maggio 2026.
#Meta non ha annunciato piani per crittografia server-side o altre misure avanzate, dunque, si prevede che i messaggi passeranno ad essere accessibili per analisi e pubblicità.

Yeah #instagram you can do one.
I've just turned off all new DM's over there and I'll be deleting all messages over the next month. What next? Messenger? WhatsApp?
Message me here. Message me on Signal.
Two choices. No more.
When bombs fall, keyboards follow. The #Handala attack on #Stryker — 200,000 systems claimed wiped, 50TB stolen, timed explicitly to the US-Israeli assault on Iran — is textbook retaliation hacktivist logic. But here's the thing nobody wants to say out loud: it barely matters whether the group is genuinely aggrieved civilians or a state front wearing a keffiyeh. The effect is identical. The deniability is the point.
Governments have learned that a "spontaneous" hacktivist campaign does more reputational work than an official cyberunit ever could — and when the targeting is this clean, "spontaneous" deserves serious scare quotes. We saw it with pro-Russian groups after #Ukraine. We saw it with pro-Palestinian groups after #Gaza. We're seeing it again now with #Iran. The pattern is consistent enough to be a doctrine at this point.
What makes it strategically interesting — and analytically treacherous — is the deliberate ambiguity it manufactures. A group claiming to represent bombed civilians carries far more narrative weight than one that's transparently state-linked. Attribution becomes a second-order problem: even if the group is genuinely independent, states benefit from the chaos and quietly let it run. Sometimes they seed it. Sometimes they just watch. The outcome for the victim is the same either way.
The targeting logic follows a reliable playbook too. Not purely military or intelligence targets — those carry too much legal and escalatory risk. Instead: corporations with visible ties to the aggressor country, ideally ones with symbolic weight or defense adjacency. #Stryker, with its $450M U.S. military contract and the same name as an Army armored carrier, checked every box. The selection wasn't random. It was a message dressed as an attack.
For defenders, none of this is new — but the tempo is accelerating. Geopolitical flashpoints are now predictable threat amplifiers with a measurable lag between event and campaign. Your company's government contracts, your country of incorporation, your defense-adjacent partnerships — these are part of your attack surface whether you've modelled them that way or not. The groups carrying the flag may be real, fake, or somewhere in the uncomfortable middle. It doesn't matter. The wiper doesn't care about the ideology behind it.

Meta lied about privacy. Again. The real story is bigger though.

"The development comes days after #TikTok said it does not plan to introduce #E2EE to secure direct messages on the platform, telling BBC News that the technology makes users less safe and that it wants to protect users, especially young people, from harm."

Big news for Instagram users: E2EE DMs are going away by May 2026. Meta says it's due to low opt-in, but the real reasons might surprise you. What does this mean for your privacy?

Instagram is getting rid of end-to-end encrypted messages after May 8, 2026, arguing that people barely used the feature, which is not enabled by default and only available in some areas. Here's more from @Engadget.
