Apparently 500 #million #user #details have been #leaked from #whatsapp and is so far looking to be true: https://cybernews.com/news/whatsapp-data.. #meta 's #facebook are yet to #disclose the #leak to any of the #users in 84 #countries that use their #service . They should be heavily #fined for knowing and not #disclosing this information to the public.
#meta / #facebook 's #layoffs are going to be 15% in the first round, mostly impacting #recruitment https://www.teamblind.com/post/Latest-Me.. Appaerntly we find out today or tomorrow.
Looks like #facebook 's #meta are looking to cut 1000s of #employees *this week* alone: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/meta-r.. #stocks are down 70% this year and they have been #hiring at the same rate...
#facebook / #meta is not feeling too good: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/.. As the #article points out, the time of #faang #invincibility appears to be coming to a close. There have been massive #layoffs trying to save their #rearends , but it is unlikey to be enough.
#meta #facebook and #alphabet #google are quietly #firing #employees #secretly by " #reorganizing ": https://www.zerohedge.com/political/face.. This adds to a long list of #tech #companies #firing people just before a #recession .
Interesting how when the #eu , namely #germany and #france is faced with the likes of #facebook , #instagram (and #meta in general), apparently #sovereignty is important! "Digital giants must understand that the European continent will resist and affirm its sovereignty". They #laughed when the #uk insisted on reclaiming its own... Also note how they speak as a #superstate , not individual #nations ... Whatever works for them I guess. As time goes on, I realise #britain is very different from the rest...
