BBC News | WhatsApp launches totally private 'incognito' conversations with its AI chatbot AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. WhatsApp has introduced an “incognito” mode for its AI chatbot that lets users have private conversations that are not logged or read by Meta, with messages disappearing after the chat ends; this feature aims to let people discuss sensitive topics such as health, relationships and finances without fear of their data being stored, though it is not the same as the platform’s end‑to‑end encryption. The rollout follows criticism of Meta’s AI integration and a promise from head of WhatsApp Will Cathcart that the system will initially support only text and will err on the side of caution for harmful or illegal queries. While Meta touts the mode as a breakthrough in AI privacy, cybersecurity experts warn it could create accountability gaps if AI‑generated advice leads to harm, since neither users nor Meta would have access to the vanished conversation history. The move comes amid Meta’s massive $145 billion AI infrastructure spending plan for 2026, intended to boost its advertising and commerce dominance despite investor concerns.

BBC News | How driving test booking is changing for learner drivers AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. From 12 May, learner drivers in the UK will be the only ones able to book, change or swap their driving‑test appointments, ending the previous practice where instructors could do so on their behalf; this shift aims to cut long waiting lists of up to six months and stop bots and resellers from bulk‑buying slots for inflated prices. Tests already booked by instructors remain valid, but each driver may now make only two changes to a booked slot—whether altering date, time, centre or swapping with another learner—and any additional adjustments require canceling and re‑booking, with a refund available if cancellation occurs at least ten working days before the test. From 9 June, any location change is limited to the three centres nearest the original booking, so drivers are urged to choose the intended centre and a realistic test date, using their instructor’s reference number during booking to ensure eligibility.

Ich habe mal wieder den Erklärbär gemacht: Warum auf dem Kuketz-Blog nicht automatisch der technisch nerdigste Messenger (bspw. Delta Chat, SimpleX) empfohlen wird, sondern der, der realistisch ins Leben von Jutta und Bernd passt. Digitale Selbstbestimmung beginnt nicht mit Überforderung, sondern mit einem machbaren ersten Schritt raus aus WhatsApp. 👇 https://www.kuketz-blog.de/warum-signal-fuer-whatsapp-aussteiger-die-bessere-wahl-ist/ #Messenger #WhatsApp #Signal #Fediverse #FediLZ

Di form permohonan pengalihan pensiun dari almarhum bapak ke ibu saya, ada isian nomor #WhatsApp yang wajib diisi alias mandatory. Kok harus WhatsApp? Apakah WhatsApp adalah aplikasi resmi? Gak boleh kah pakai #signal? Gak boleh id #telegram? Gak boleh id #matrix? Gak boleh id #xmpp? Bagaimana kalau ibu saya punyanya #deltachat sama #tox? Gak usah dijawab. Retorika aja ini 🤣

#UnplugBigTech Tipp 3: Messenger ohne Big Brother WhatsApp gehört zu Meta – einem Konzern, der von Daten lebt. Zwar verschlüsselt WhatsApp Nachrichteninhalte, aber Metadaten laufen trotzdem mit: Wer wann mit wem schreibt, wie oft, aus welchem Netz. Das sind oft aussagekräftigere Daten als der Chat selbst. Die Alternative für den Alltag: Signal. Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselt, kaum Metadaten, kein Werbemodell, quelloffen – und groß genug, dass du damit auch wirklich jemanden erreichst. Ein Messenger bringt dir nichts, wenn ihn niemand aus deinem Umfeld nutzt. Bei Signal ist die Chance hoch, dass deine Kontakte mitmachen. #UnplugBigTech #Messenger #WhatsApp #Signal #Datenschutz #Privatsphäre

Times of India | UP woman dies after ‘digital arrest’ blackmail, calls during funeral reveal scam AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A 28‑year‑old woman named Monika Devi from Faridpur Bhogi village in Bijnor was found dead in her room, apparently by suicide, after being harassed by cyber criminals who impersonated law‑enforcement officers. The scammers repeatedly called her on WhatsApp, video‑calling while pretending to be crime‑branch officers, demanding she speak with them and threatening “digital arrest” and legal action. Monika left a diary note describing the long‑standing harassment, blackmail, and her fear, expressing love for her husband, apologies to her family, and a plea for them to care for their children. Her husband filed a police complaint, prompting investigators to trace the fraud network through chat logs, call records, and phone data, which showed the scammers had contacted her from multiple numbers. The case highlights how limited education can make individuals vulnerable to such online extortion schemes.

US Top News and Analysis | Meta looks to report fastest revenue growth since 2021 AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta reported Q1 revenue of $56.31 billion, beating estimates, and adjusted earnings of $7.31 per share versus the $6.79 forecast, while daily active people rose 4% year‑over‑year to 3.56 billion but fell more than 5% from the previous quarter, a miss attributed to internet disruptions in Iran and a WhatsApp restriction in Russia. Capital expenditures came in at $19.84 billion, well below the $27.57 billion expected, yet the company raised its full‑year capex outlook to $125‑$145 billion. Net income surged to $26.8 billion, bolstered by an $8.03 billion tax benefit, and headcount grew 1% to 77,986 despite an announced 10% workforce reduction. Meta highlighted its AI push, debuting the Muse Spark foundation model, and projected Q2 revenue of $58‑$61 billion, roughly in line with expectations.

Die italienische Digitalrechtsorganisation Osservatorio Nessuno hat kürzlich eine neue Malware namens Morpheus aufgedeckt. Sie tarnt sich als harmlose Android-Update-App, kann jedoch umfassend Daten von den Geräten der Opfer stehlen, Apps manipulieren und sogar biometrische Daten auslesen, um Accounts wie WhatsApp zu übernehmen. 👇 #spyware #whatsapp #datenschutz #morpheus #cybersecurity #malware https://teufelswerk.net/morpheus-neue-italienische-spyware-kapert-android-geraete-und-alles-bleibt-legal/

Hoy fuimos al liceo a dejar a mi hija y resulta que otro boludito escribio en el baño que hoy hay tiroteo y eso... entonces llamaron a la policia, empezaron con el protocolo... nunca avisaron que se suspendian las clases... nos enteramos cuando llegamos que estaban suspendidas las clases. Cuando pregunte porque no habian mandado aviso, dijeron que los adscriptos empezaron a avisar a los alumnos y mapadres y que el whatsapp que usan, llego al limite de envios y a la mitad no le pudieron avisar... El efecto de red es tan pero tan grande, que inclusive con estas limitaciones que le complican la vida a todo el mundo... lo aceptan asi como es y nadie se queja #whatsapp #xmpp #efectodered #networkeffect #uruguay

Heute gebe ich etwas zu: Ich hatte in den vergangenen Jahren nie #WhatsApp!

Privat habe ich oft #Telegram benutzt, weil die ein unschlagbares Feature hatten: ich konnte es auf mehreren Geräten gleichzeitig / parallel nutzen.

Ja, ich weiß, deren interne Strukturen sind “shady” (zu deutsch: halbseiden); der Gründer des Dienstes ist Pawel Walerjewitsch Durow, der sein Geld in Russland verdient hat mit einem russischen Pendant zu Facebook.

Ich weiß auch, dass Telegram-Nachrichten standardmäßig nur transportverschlüsselt sind und nicht Ende-zu-Ende (E2E). Aber für die private Kommunikation mit Familie und Freunden ist das hinnehmbar.

Ich möchte dennoch allen dringend empfehlen weder WhatsApp noch Telegram zu nutzen sondern statt dessen #Signal und/oder #Threema.

Das war mein Beitrag zum 2. Samstag in diesem Jahr … jetzt könnt ihr wieder weitermachen! 😃
