Podcast appearances and mentions of meta platforms inc

WhatsApp said that users will start seeing ads in parts of the app, as owner Meta Platforms moves to cultivate a new revenue stream by tapping the billions of people who use the messaging service. Advertisements will be shown only in the app's Updates tab, which is used by as many as 1.5 billion people each day. However, they won't appear where personal chats are located, developers said. "The personal messaging experience on WhatsApp isn't changing, and personal messages, calls and statuses are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be used to show ads," WhatsApp said in a blog post. It's a big change for the company, whose founders, Jan Koum and Brian Acton, vowed to keep the platform free of ads when they created it in 2009. Facebook purchased WhatsApp in 2014, and the pair left a few years later. Parent company Meta Platforms Inc. has long been trying to generate revenue from WhatsApp. WhatsApp said ads will be targeted at users based on information like their age, the country or city where they're located, the language they're using, the channels they're following in the app, and how they're interacting with the ads they see. WhatsApp said it won't use personal messages, calls and groups that a user is a member of to target ads to the user. It's one of three advertising features that WhatsApp unveiled as it tries to monetize the app's user base. Channels will also be able to charge users a monthly fee for subscriptions, so they can get exclusive updates. And business owners will be able to pay to promote their channel's visibility to new users. Most of Meta's revenue comes from ads. In 2024, the Menlo Park, California-based company's revenue totaled $164.5 billion, and $160.6 billion of it came from advertising. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

The letters were released two days before agreements were due from trading partners facing Trump’s so-called reciprocal levies.2) The death toll rises in Texas as questions remain about preparedness for the disaster. More than 100 people have been confirmed dead in floods that tore through central Texas over the weekend. The disaster has sparked debate about whether anything more could have been done to prevent it, with questions raised about warning systems, forecasts, and notification of people in the affected areas.3) A setback for Apple as a top AI executive leaves to join Meta. Ruoming Pang, a distinguished engineer and manager in charge of Apple's foundation models team, is leaving for Meta Platforms Inc. Meta offered Pang a package worth tens of millions of dollars per year, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Pang's departure could be the start of a string of exits from the AFM group, with several engineers telling colleagues they are planning to leave in the near future to Meta or elsewhere, the people said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US equity markets resumed trading following the Juneteenth National Independence Day holiday, with investors' attention remaining keenly focussed on developments in the Middle East - Dow inched +35-points or +0.08% higher.

Today in AI is a daily recap of the latest news and developments in the AI industry. See your story and want to be featured in an upcoming episode? Reach out at tonyphoang.com Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the intense AI competition between the U.S. and China, highlighting Huawei's capabilities and the narrow lead held by the U.S. Amidst rising tensions and new export restrictions on AI chips, Nvidia is shifting its manufacturing to the U.S., a move that could reshape the global semiconductor industry and intensify the tech rivalry. This decision is influenced by broader geopolitical dynamics affecting the AI sector. Epic Systems has significantly increased its hospital market share in 2024, adding 176 facilities and 29,399 beds, while Oracle lost 74 sites and 17,232 beds. Epic's growth is driven by continuous investment in advanced technologies, strategic partnerships, and AI-driven solutions, solidifying its leadership in the healthcare technology sector. This expansion highlights the critical role of AI in enhancing healthcare services and operational efficiency. Meta Platforms has launched a standalone AI application using its Llama 4 AI system, integrating it with Facebook and Instagram to enhance user experience through personalized interactions. This open-source approach challenges competitors like Open AI and raises significant social implications, including issues of authenticity, trust, creativity, privacy, and job displacement. The initiative underscores the transformative potential and ethical considerations of AI in social media. Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs discussed the minimal impact of tariffs on their localized supply chain, the mixed performance of their franchises, and the promising integration of AI technology through a partnership with Nvidia to enhance operations and customer experience. The implementation of voice AI in Taco Bell drive-thrus has notably improved efficiency and customer satisfaction, positioning Yum Brands as a leader in the fast-food industry's digital transformation. This reflects the growing adoption of AI to streamline operations and improve customer interactions. Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has filed a defamation lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc., claiming the company's AI chatbot falsely implicated him in the January 6 Capitol riot, highlighting broader concerns about AI-generated misinformation and content moderation. The lawsuit, seeking over $5 million in damages, underscores the growing legal and ethical challenges tech companies face in ensuring the accuracy and accountability of their AI systems.

US equity futures rallied Thursday on stronger-than-expected tech earnings and signs the Trump administration may be close to announcing the first round of trade deals to reduce planned tariffs. The advance for US futures came after the S&P 500 erased an intraday drop of more than 2% Wednesday to close 0.2% higher. Shares in Japan and Australia both edged lower Thursday. A number of markets are shut for holidays across Asia including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India. Meantime, the outcome of Australia's tight federal election could be the next catalyst for local assets as a tariff standoff between the US and China continues to rattle markets.

Plus - contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both gained at least 0.9%, helped by a post-market rally for Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. following their bullish corporate results.

Monday marked the fifth time in the past month the index fully wiped out an intraday gain or drop of 1% or more. The number of reversals already matches the total seen in the entire year of 2024. After the US close, President Donald Trump renewed criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as he championed his economic policies and tariff regime during a Tuesday event to mark his 100th day in office. We break down Trump's remarks with Joe Mathieu, Host of Bloomberg's Balance of Power. As uncertainty around US tariffs looms over global markets, investors in Asia are looking ahead to key economic data from China to get a sense of the macro environment.

This Day in Legal History: MLK BornOn January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most influential figures in American history, was born in Atlanta, Georgia. As a Baptist minister and leader of the Civil Rights Movement, King played a pivotal role in advancing racial equality and social justice in the United States. His commitment to nonviolent protest, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, led to significant legal and social changes, including the dismantling of segregation and the affirmation of civil rights for African Americans.King's leadership during landmark events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and the March on Washington in 1963 brought national attention to systemic racism and civil rights abuses. His iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial articulated a vision of racial harmony and equality, influencing the passage of critical legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.Despite opposition and threats, King remained steadfast in his pursuit of justice, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his efforts. His advocacy for economic equality and opposition to the Vietnam War further broadened his legacy. Tragically, King's life was cut short on April 4, 1968, when he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, while supporting a labor strike.King's birthday is now recognized as a federal holiday in the United States, known as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, celebrated annually on the third Monday of January. This commemoration underscores his enduring impact on American law and society, as well as the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equality. King's work has left an indelible mark, shaping legal reforms and inspiring movements for justice around the world.Stanford law professor and renowned intellectual property scholar Mark Lemley has withdrawn as legal counsel for Meta Platforms Inc. in a high-profile generative AI copyright case. Lemley cited CEO Mark Zuckerberg's controversial recent actions, including ending diversity initiatives and fact-checking on Facebook, and promoting "masculine energy," as reasons for his departure. While Lemley believes Meta has a strong case in the AI copyright dispute, he stated he could not continue representing the company in good conscience.Lemley's withdrawal leaves attorneys from Cooley LLP and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton to defend Meta against allegations from authors, including Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, that Meta's AI improperly trains on copyrighted works. The case addresses a critical issue in AI development: whether training models on copyrighted material constitutes infringement. Authors argue this practice unfairly exploits their work, while AI advocates claim it constitutes fair use, given the scale and indirect impact of the works.Lemley, a distinguished academic and practitioner, has contributed significantly to intellectual property law, including involvement in key cases like Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith. His departure underscores concerns about Meta's evolving corporate ethos. Additionally, Lemley announced he would deactivate his Threads account and avoid supporting Meta financially, though he stopped short of leaving Facebook entirely to preserve his social connections.Meta Lawyer Lemley Quits AI Case Citing Zuckerberg 'Descent' (1)The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, accusing him of delaying the required disclosure of his significant Twitter stake in 2022. According to the SEC, Musk violated securities laws by failing to disclose his 5% ownership in Twitter within the 10-day deadline, waiting until April 4, 2022, to reveal a 9.2% stake. This delay allegedly allowed Musk to acquire over $500 million in shares at lower prices, disadvantaging other investors. Twitter's stock price surged 27% after Musk's disclosure. The SEC's suit seeks to impose civil fines and recover any illicit profits Musk gained. Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, dismissed the lawsuit as a baseless effort by the SEC, framing the issue as a minor administrative oversight. Musk, who later purchased Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022 and rebranded it as X, has a history of legal disputes with the SEC, including a 2018 settlement over misleading Tesla privatization tweets. He has also faced shareholder lawsuits for the delayed disclosure. Despite these challenges, Musk's substantial wealth and influence continue to draw attention, with his attorney accusing the SEC of harassment amid leadership changes at the agency.US SEC sues Elon Musk over late disclosure of Twitter stake | ReutersPam Bondi, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, will face a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing amid scrutiny over her past decisions and ties to the former president. Bondi, Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019, played a prominent role in Trump's 2019 impeachment defense and supported his post-2020 election fraud claims. Democrats are expected to question her impartiality, particularly in light of Trump's comments about using the Justice Department to target political adversaries.Bondi has faced criticism for declining to investigate Trump University after her campaign received a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation, a decision she has defended as unrelated to the contribution. She also worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, representing clients like Amazon, Uber, and GEO Group, some of which have had dealings with the Justice Department under the Biden administration. Senators are likely to probe potential conflicts of interest arising from her lobbying background.Bondi has pledged to consult ethics officials on any conflicts. Her confirmation hearing follows contentious reviews of other Trump Cabinet picks, with Democrats raising concerns about loyalty to Trump's personal interests over those of the United States. The outcome of Bondi's nomination remains uncertain, as the Republican-majority Senate considers her extensive ties to Trump and her record as a lobbyist and public official.Trump's attorney general pick Pam Bondi to face US Senate grilling | Reuters This is a public episode.

Привет! На связи Инесса, со-кураторка сообщества Ladies Wine & Design Moscow, и у меня для вас важный анонс бонусного выпуска подкаста. В августе я впервые оказалась «по другую сторону» дизайна и на несколько месяцев стала тем самым «заказчиком» — писала технические задания и давала обратную связь исполнителям. А заказывала я огранизацию собственной свадьбы:)Эта подготовка показала, насколько глубоко дизайн-мышление проникло в мою жизнь и помогло мне даже в таком личном проекте. Мне очень хотелось обсудить этот опыт с кем-то, кто прошел через похожее. Поэтому в этом особенном эпизоде я встретилась с большой подругой нашего сообщества — Екатериной Хохриной, коммуникационным дизайнером SkyEng и невестой сезона 2024.Ведущая подкаста Инесса Ли: www.instagram.com/inessa.liTelegram-канал Кати: https://t.me/Comdesign/160Инстаграм Кати: https://www.instagram.com/dkat_e/profilecard/?igsh=MXJ3dHJ0OHpwdzQ2Zw==Сайт проекта Ladies, Wine & Design.Moscow: ladieswinedesign.moscowСвязаться с нами можно по почте: lwd.moscow@gmail.com или в телеграмме: @albinakhmeleva, @inessali

In this episode, we dive into the growing wave of lawsuits being filed against Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat, Discord, Tik Tok by parents and guardians concerned about the mental and physical harm these platforms are causing younger users. Research indicates a troubling rise in social media addiction among teens, leading to severe mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, and even suicide.The issue gained significant attention when Frances Haugen, a former Facebook manager, leaked internal documents revealing Meta's knowledge of its platforms' harmful effects on users, especially teens. These documents exposed how Meta's algorithms are designed to maximize engagement at the expense of user well-being, often pushing content that promotes body image issues, risky behaviour, and mental health struggles.We'll explore the specific cases brought against Meta, such as the lawsuits filed by families who have lost loved ones to suicide or who are dealing with the repercussions of social media addiction. We'll also discuss the legal strategies being employed, including product liability and tort law, aimed at holding Meta accountable for prioritizing profits over safety.Snapchat, owned by Snap Inc., is a preferred social media platform for 35% of teens, with over 85 million users in the U.S. as of 2020. Its popularity is driven by features that limit parental monitoring, encourage daily use, and allow users to share their location, raising significant safety concerns.One notable case is Rodriguez v. Meta Platforms Inc. et al., where nine-year-old Selena Rodriguez became addicted to Snapchat and Instagram, leading to sleep deprivation, bullying, and severe mental health issues, culminating in her suicide at age 11.In Doffing v. Meta Platforms Inc. and Snap Inc., Brittney Doffing is suing on behalf of her daughter M.K., who developed an addiction to Instagram and Snapchat at 14, resulting in sleep loss, body image issues, and psychiatric hospitalizations.Other cases include Heffner vs. Meta and Snap Inc., where Ashleigh Heffner's son Liam Birchfield became addicted to these platforms, leading to his suicide, and Dawley vs. Meta and Snap Inc., where CJ Dawley, a high-achieving student, fatally shot himself after becoming obsessed with social media.Additionally, Snapchat is implicated in facilitating fentanyl  poisonings, due to its features that allow users to erase communications easily. The FBI is investigating Snapchat's role in the fentanyl poisoning deaths of teens, and lawsuits have been filed to represent these victims and their families.https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-marquez-garrett-447a491b/https://socialmediavictims.org/#SocialMediaLawsuits #MetaLawsuits #SnapchatLawsuits #ProtectOurKids #MentalHealthAwareness #SocialMediaAddiction #TeenMentalHealth  #TechAccountability #StopSocialMediaHarm #DigitalSafety #ParentalAwareness #YouthWellbeing #SocialMediaImpact #AnxietyAwareness #DepressionAwareness #EatingDisorders #SuicidePrevention #SocialMediaReform #OnlineSafety #AddictionAwareness #ProtectTeens #SafeSocialMedia #SocialMediaResponsibility #VictimsRights #HoldTechAccountable #SocialMediaVictims #DigitalWellbeing #FentanylCrisis #SnapchatSafetySupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

Instagram's parent company, Meta, knew the harm the platform was inflicting on minors and did nothing to mitigate it, according to a lawsuit filed against the social media giant. In 2023, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc., calling on the company to prioritize the protection of minors.“Over about the last 15 years, the mental health of American teenagers has plummeted in anxiety, suicidality, depression, sleep deprivation—all these metrics that show something is not right,” Skrmetti told "The Daily Signal Podcast."“Not only do we have experts who say it was social media, there have been a variety of leaks from within the social media companies that indicate they knew that it was having this negative effect,” he says. While Skrmetti says that “social media [are] not inherently bad,” and the lawsuit is not intended to micromanage platforms such as Instagram, it's Meta's responsibility to make its products "safe for kids.”Skrmetti joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss where the lawsuit against Meta stands. He also discusses his state's fight to protect women's sports against males who identify as women entering female athletics. Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast.
