The app is designed for people who want to create social content, but find traditional video editing tools too complex or time-consuming.

The restrictions, which can be turned off, will include a crackdown on “addictive” app features and will be in addition to a total ban on children under 16 accessing platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

A new study found that social media platforms are referring people to sites where they can create nonconsensual, sexually explicit deepfakes for as little as $1 an image.

X's head of product, Nikita Bier, admitted in a post on Monday that X's algorithm was "missing" data about surfacing posts from people who you've followed back. Now, he says a tweak will "boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals," hopefully enhancing the sense of community instead of highlighting and spreading random arguments, but […]

The social media site says it will amplify posts made by users' mutual followers' to give the feed more of a communal feel.

The creator of TV Time is building a successor app that will let users import their watch histories and preserve the community that formed around discussing their favorite shows.

Following a worrying new report, Europe is taking steps toward barring children from using social media.

The European Union is weighing sweeping new restrictions on children's and teenagers' access to social media, including age limits, an outright ban, and phased access. Social media platforms could also be forced to prove their services are not harmful before young people are allowed to use them. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said […]

Meta told Dylan Byers, of Puck News, that it had nixed the feature after backlash from its user base.

Schneider, who formerly served as the CEO of Automattic and is a partner at True Ventures, says he is "all in" on the unconventional social media platform.

Fizz has expanded its lawsuit against rival Sidechat, alleging that a Maveron VC shared its confidential information obtained during a fundraising meeting with the competing startup.

Muse Image allows users to generate AI images using photos from public Instagram accounts. As long as a person's profile is public, another user can tag that account and use their images as part of an AI-generated creation.

A platform is a collaboration system: platform teams depend on application teams, and both need shared standards. Engineers trust a platform through its predictable behavior, not its features. Being an engineer is about problem-solving and being passionate about it. And being an engineer means sharing your passion for problem-solving. By Ben Linders

Because of the way they are trained, large language models capture only a slice of human language. They’re trained on the written word, from textbooks to social media posts, and our speech as captured in movies and on television. These models have minimal access to the unscripted conversations we have face to face or voice to voice. This is the vast majority of speech, and a vital component of human culture. There’s a risk to this. The increased use of large language models means we humans will encounter much more AI-generated text. We humans, in turn, will begin to adopt the linguistic patterns and behaviors of these models. This will affect not just how we communicate with one another, but also how we ...

{ Abhilash Kumar Bhattaram : Follow on LinkedIn } The Post-Migration Mirage For many Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), the successful cutover of a core database to the cloud feels like the ultimate victory lap. The data has landed, the connection strings are updated, and initial performance metrics look stellar. But there is a dangerous mirage that follows a cloud database migration: Hidden Downtime. Unlike an abrupt database crash, hidden downtime is a slow-burn operational decay. It happens when day-to-day transactions process smoothly in production, but the underlying database ecosystem—specifically the disaster recovery (DR) standby instances, secondary cross-region sites, and replication pipelines—quietly falls out of sync. When a true disruption occurs and you try to failover or scale, the database tier collapses. To ensure true, 24/7 predictability, forward-thinking CTOs look beyond the immediate "Go-Live" date. The ultimate challenge is navigating the dense maze of cloud onboarding options to find the exact database migration method that fits your specific application topology. Ground Zero: The Database Configuration Drift The root cause of post-migration database downtime begins long before cutover day, it starts with how the database is moved and how its configuration is maintained. Going to the cloud offers various technical pathways, but the overarching challenge is finding what fits your unique architecture. The initial migration must establish perfect baseline parity, but standard database operations and hasty migration choices quickly introduce fatal configuration drift. To manage this drift effectively, organizations must introduce rigorous baseline metrics before, during, and after the migration process: - Benchmarking Versions: Ensuring that source and target database patch levels, Timezone (TZ) files, and Release Updates (RUs) match exactly. Mismatched database versions between primary cloud instances and standby homes create silent dictionary inc

The animal escaped after apparently arriving inside a package at Meta's Bangkok office, injuring one employee before finally being caught.

The social platform wants its crowd-sourced corrections to be harder to ignore.

This developer didn't expect his side project to grow to 300,000 users, but people love Roost because it's an alternative to an always-on, fast-paced online culture.

X plans to send users direct messages when posts they’ve liked, replied to, or reposted receive Community Notes, an update aimed at addressing criticism that the platform’s crowdsourced fact-checking system often arrives too late to curb misinformation.
