16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

I feel like a lot of the people that made threat intel Twitter what it was made the leap over to Bluesky. But can’t speak for infosec as a whole.

David Brooks gets it. “It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans…to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.
