The chat app says in a blog post users can correct misspellings, add more details or otherwise change what they have sent, the ability to edit messages started rolling out to people worldwide and will be available to all users in the coming weeks. That's according to the company owned by Facebook parent meta. WhatsApp says those receiving the messages won't be able to see the edit history. Last year, Apple revealed the ability to edit and un send iMessages between iPhones in a system upgrade, but those on the receiving end see that a message was unsent and the edit history.

Judge Denies Bankman-Fried's Bail Modification Proposal
"U.S. judge rejects bankman freed's bail modification request. So there's a couple different things happening. Also, his attorney lawyer says agreement has been reached on use of messaging apps plus other news. Prosecutors have asked that civil fraud cases brought by the SEC and the CFTC against SB FB postponed until after the criminal case against him has concluded. So again, we have the FTX international chapter 11 bankruptcy. I believe in somebody please fact check out these court cases, 'cause I can't keep up. And then we have the civil fraud cases, and then I think another case brought against him, I don't know. But anyway, legal team and prosecutors asked the court to modify SBS a bail conditions on using electronic communication, ask them to modify so he can make voice calls, FaceTime calls, zoom, audio, video calls, and use iMessage plus what's app for WhatsApp his cell phone must have monitoring software installed to record these messages and just in a judge rejected the joint request to modify his bail conditions to allow him to use these messaging apps Jen help me, please, there's too many cases going on with this. I can't keep up. I feel like I missed at least 7 cases or counts or I don't know. I know. There are so many cases. I think the main takeaway here though is that they're filing that the criminal case goes first because the findings in the criminal case will most likely inform what happens in all of the civil cases. So that's what they're asking the judge for. What I think is funny is the specificity of the apps that he can not use according to the judge. So that's FaceTime zoom. I message email, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. I would like to note that Twitter is not included in here, and neither are Twitter DMs. And I would just like to lobby that that is taken away from this man, along with the blog, I will use every opportunity to say that on this show, and maybe I need to be fact checked by Zach, but just let me say quickly before I pass it off to you, Zach. I want to point out that both sides asked for him to be allowed to use this. And I think that the prosecution is gathering evidence every time he talks every time he writes a blog post every time he says something that goes against what he said in the past.

"Ideology basically states that India is an always has been and always will be a Hindu, mainly in the nation that Hindus should be proud of their Hinduism and should be strong. Modi's critics say that some of the viral stranger danger rumors on WhatsApp. While not directly started by Modi or the BJP, draw on religious divisions at the core of the party's politics. From around 2017 to 2018, banaji says over 30 people were killed across India by mobs incited by misinformation spread on WhatsApp. The violence was gaining more and more attention and pressure was mounting on WhatsApp to confront the issue. So in July 2018, WhatsApp rolled out some product changes in India to try to curb the sharing of incendiary videos and misinformation. It was a little over a year since the first major lynching connected to WhatsApp happened. Here's WhatsApp's will cathcart. We said, okay, how do we approach the problem? What are the things we can do to help society deal with misinformation? One of the first things WhatsApp did was to add friction to sharing, to slow down the speed at which viral content could spread. We really latched on to, well, how easy is it to send information around? And how easy is it to find alternative? Sources of information. So forward limits have been the biggest change by far we've made. In India, that meant a user could only forward something to 5 individuals or group chats simultaneously. Down from the previous limit of 100. WhatsApp adopted similar rules worldwide 6 months later. It also removed a feature that allowed for quick forwarding, and eventually replaced it with a Google search button. To remind people to confirm something is true before forwarding it. We're not trying to jump in and say, hey, what you just said is false. But by changing the design of the product, we can make it easier to find out the truth than it is to quickly forward something without thinking about it. These were all important changes, but to pranav diction, the company could have considered the consequences of WhatsApp's original product design sooner. That's a true line with all Silicon Valley products and platforms that have expanded into countries like India without putting in the necessary checks and balances first. Without doing groundwork without actually studying the country that they were expanding into, they saw a billion people and they were like, great. Here's a billion people, let's just give them our product, our app, our service. And then let's see how they use it. For Indian

"Content tends to be mundane. Good mornings, weather reports, recipes. But as with anything that can go potentially viral, some forwards aren't so benign. In late 2017, a wave of so called stranger danger videos spread across WhatsApp in India. These stranger danger videos that went out sent the following things look out for your children there are strangers in your area, they're coming to kidnap your children and take their kidneys. That was the basic message in multiple different vernacular languages across India, shakan chala banaji is a Professor of media culture and social change at the London school of economics and political science. She researches the spread of misinformation. What struck banaji was that these videos were carefully edited and tailored to different ethnic groups, often depicting local children being seemingly kidnapped or hurt by malicious outsiders. So for example, you'd have a video of a killing of children from overlapping that you would have a voice-over in Tamil or Telugu or Hindi saying something like this is what people traffickers are doing in your area, even though it was so clear from the visuals that the children were not locus but nevertheless this spread absolute panic. So there was a call to arms at the end of each of these messages, asking people to follow them. And essentially, almost cajoling them to take things into their own hands and do something about these people who were kidnapping their children. Pranav dick shit reported on what happened when one of the stranger danger videos went viral. I ended up traveling to this tiny Hamlet called Rhine Prada. Which is in the Indian state of Maharashtra in the western part of the country. Where just days before I visited 5 people had been lynched to death in an extremely gruesome and brutal manner basically a mob of 40 people stoned them and beat them to death inside the village council office. The video that spurred that violence, it was complete misinformation. It featured an image of dead children that was actually from the aftermath of a chemical weapons attack in Syria. But the fact that the information was being shared by people in WhatsApp groups made it feel more trustworthy. WhatsApp is your window to the world and you believe everything that you see there because, you know, oh, somebody had no sent me this. A friend sent me this. Somebody from my village sent me this. So it must be true. But naji says in addition to the trust factor, there was something else at work here. An atmosphere of heightened religious and political tensions. As we were doing our research, it became evident that very quickly the discourse moved from its just any stranger in your area to its Muslim invaders. It's Muslim infiltrators. It's people from across the border. It's bangladeshis. It's Rohingya. So really quickly. So it began to look like there had been a kind of plan all along to so distrust and enmity against new people coming into particular areas. Regional ethnic and

"Tweeted out, quote, it is time. Hashtag delete Facebook. A few months after Acton left, come quit too. Though it's unclear how much ads had to do with it. In his farewell post, he said he wanted to spend more time on his hobbies, like collecting rare air cooled Porsches, and playing ultimate frisbee. This whole situation is ironic because ads never came to WhatsApp. Facebook decided that the risk of backlash wouldn't be worth it. But not before Acton, kum and aurora were out the door. And then Facebook decided to lean into the values of WhatsApp to embrace its focus on privacy as a selling point. I think you have to think about what it means to offer a service where people communicate their most private thoughts to the people they care about the most all around the world. The current head of WhatsApp will cathcart. Cathcart transferred over from the Facebook app in 2019. Now, he says, meta has embraced an ads free WhatsApp. Instead, it's pushing to make money by charging businesses to message their customers. There are a lot of really, really sensitive conversations that happen on WhatsApp. Everything from people talking to a doctor, people talking to a journalist, and a lot of countries are WhatsApp's popular government officials talking amongst themselves. So you've got to offer the highest level of security. This preaching of WhatsApp's original values, it's not just coming from cathcart. Privacy gives us the freedom to be ourselves. It's easier to feel like you belong when you're part of smaller communities and amongst your closest friends. Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook's F 8 conference in 2019. With Russian misinformation and Cambridge Analytica behind him, this was the year of Zuckerberg made a hard pivot to privacy. Specifically, he said he believed the future of communication would increasingly shift to encrypted messaging. As the world gets bigger and more connected, we need that sense of intimacy more than more than ever. So that's why I believe that the future is private. Privacy and encryption they

"They agreed price 19 billion and mostly Facebook stock. It would be Zuckerberg's largest acquisition ever by far. The media reported at the time, Zuckerberg and kum shared a plate of seasonally appropriate chocolate covered strawberries. It was a whirlwind romance. What's up is a great company and it's a great fit for us. Just shy of two weeks after the deal was signed. Zuckerberg was in Barcelona at the mobile world Congress, a gigantic trade show for the mobile telecommunications industry. Already almost half a billion people, I love using WhatsApp for messaging. And it's the most engaging app that we've ever seen exist on mobile by far. People were stunned by how much he'd paid for WhatsApp. It was the most expensive purchase of any private tech startup to date. So when Zuckerberg was asked to explain his rationale, he sounded a little defensive. I actually just think that by itself, it's worth more than $19 billion. I mean, it's hard to exactly make that case today because they have still a little revenue compared to that number. But I mean, the reality is there are very few services that reach a billion people in the world. They're all incredibly valuable, much more valuable than that. For Zuckerberg, WhatsApp was invaluable, because it was a way to fulfill his original mission. Of getting as many people in the world as possible using one of Facebook's products. When Jan and I first met and started talking about this, we really started talking about what it was going to be like to connect everyone in the world. And a lot of this is the vision for Internet dot org. And that's what I really want to take the time to focus on today. Internet dot org, this project Zuckerberg talked about in the same breath as WhatsApp, was an initiative to bring Internet access to various countries with untapped users, including India, which had become an incredibly

"Mobile phones directly challenged Facebook Messenger. Especially because WhatsApp was taking off in parts of the world that messenger just wasn't. And did a more fundamental level, people were using WhatsApp for many of the same reasons they might otherwise use Facebook. To keep in touch with family and friends online. It was a network of users that might never enter the Facebook universe. Zuckerberg needed it, or he might lose to it. So he made his move before WhatsApp was set to meet with Google, Zuckerberg invited kum over for dinner. Facebook said look, whatever it takes, the kind of deal you want to structure. Whatever you want, we'll give it to you. And by whatever you want, they meant it. Autonomy, no ads, complete product, independence, for yarn and Brian, board seat for yarn, which we didn't ask for they offered. We said, okay, fine. And encryption and to an encryption was they could not say no to it. We were still working on it, and they said we have support that. End to end encryption was a deal point that spoke to actin and coombs focus on privacy. The technology would prevent anyone except the sender and the recipient of a message from being able to read it. So even WhatsApp itself wouldn't be able to know the contents of the conversations flowing through its service. The encryption deal point also spoke to an inherent tension between WhatsApp and Facebook early on. Facebook's business model depended on collecting data about users likes and interactions so it could use that data to personalize ads. Obviously Jan and Brian might never put this on the record that we were doing this partially so that Facebook never gets any information about our users. But I know for sure that was one of the reasons they wanted to do it. Even if WhatsApp's adherence to privacy was contradictory in some ways to Facebook's business, Facebook just wanted to get the deal done. Cumin Zuckerberg did just that on Valentine's Day

"It's sinking deletions. And of course you wanted to do that. If you deleted it, for instance, from your iPhone list, you would want it to be deleted elsewhere. You wouldn't want it to stick around. So it really comes down to who's the boss of this list. What's the official list? And you want it to be as it should be your iPhone context. But somebody else has other ideas. So first thing to look at is all the things you're sinking to. Is it just viber? I also have WhatsApp, but is it sinking to WhatsApp as well? Actually, I haven't checked. Okay. Yeah. And then, well, WhatsApp doesn't yeah, I mean, it will go through your contacts. We'll add them, but I don't think we'll automatically add them unless that other person is also on WhatsApp. So I don't think WhatsApp's the problem. And when you go to iCloud, when you log into the web, do you see the context there or they're not there either? No. They're not that bad. They're either. It is a little weird that the phone sees it. So do show up, excuse me, some do show up, but very rare. With old contact, I'm completely fine. It's just a new one. In the contacts app, there's a button in the top left called groups. Have you tapped on that before to see what you have selected in groups because what happens is on the iPhone, there are multiple accounts you can set up iCloud. I've got one for twit. I've got one for a Gmail account that I have. And you're able to disable in the contacts app viewing some of those addresses. So I am wondering if perhaps you've got something deselected there that it's keeping you from being able to see all of your contacts. If I go into groups with selected is all iCloud and oh yeah. Okay. The other place that you can go is who makes that just for you to be nice. Yeah. The settings app, I'm sure you've tapped on contacts before, but what you what I'd like to know is what you have set as your default account. Because this was actually an issue that I had in the past where I was creating new contacts and they weren't showing up in my different iOS devices. And that was because I was my default account was not set to iCloud instead. It was set to my Gmail. So it wasn't sinking across my different devices. So the settings app you choose contact, you make sure that default account is set to iCloud. And then from there, you will definitely have that syncing taking place across devices. The part that's still a little confusing is about viber, seeming to grab some of these. But I do, I'd like to know that first, if you've got default account set correctly, probably what I would do is turn off all synchronization at first and then slowly work your way back. Sometimes the best fix for this is to delete the contact, I've done that. One canonical, this is the geeky term for official contact list. So turn everything else off, delete all context from everything else..

"When facebook went down for several hours this week. We got a sense of how much people on the company and its apps and not just because they're addicted to scrolling and likes. These platforms are also used for commerce and banking particularly. What's up the messaging service in many parts of the world. You can use it to send money like you would with mo or to pay for a purchase and in some countries. That's a big deal because the banking and finance infrastructure is less developed. Maybe you have a bank account but there's no branch nearby to get cash or there's no mobile app you can use their versions of what's at banking in brazil india argentina so at least ellis a partner with moffitt nathanson says when the outage happened on the commerce side businesses that reliance on whatsapp as the conduit for their payments literally couldn't transact business so pieces of the economy would shut down if you can imagine a you know a food trucker a small vendor. That's using what's up. As the primary way that they receive payments they would be stuck either having to ask people to give them cash were. They would just literally have to close which exposes the vulnerability of their business to a single form of taking payments. So okay what do you think. The long term impacts of the outage will be so the implication longer term. Implication is probably that one we'll probably see more Will one businesses and consumers diversifying a little bit away from their dependence on whatsapp right or a single platform single point of access for doing this banking commerce. We will we may see be interested to see whether or not Facebook if they're serious about this investment sort of separates outs and towards more investment into the quality of the network for the actual payments in banking business. Like four supporting. What's up because it's a very different level of investment in sophistication that you need to do payments in money movement compared to doing information movement. So this all seems pretty precarious. Like i wonder. Is it a good idea to have an economy. That's relying on what's act. It's never good for an economy to rely on any one platform for a large portion of banking and commerce periods. There's a couple of ways to reduce vulnerability. Yes one is just to have multiple options. Certainly another option is to using a visa or mastercard infrastructure where they could opt to actually use potentially more secure more resilient option for the actual money movement sitting behind the scenes whereas they've opted to try to build this stuff in house and yeah that would be. That's another choice. Lisa ellis is a partner at moffitt nathanson and now for some related links. What's up is not the only facebook platform that's used for commerce. There's also facebook marketplace which a lot of folks used to sell stuff and instagram where small business owners advertising sell their products and all of them went dark on monday. If you're wondering what actually happened there like what caused the outage our very own. Bollywood had a really helpful explanation on marketplace pulling to that in the show notes essentially the problem was an internal error at facebook but the timing debris some eyebrows because facebook was already top of mind this week yesterday. Whistleblower francis hogan a former product designer facebook testified before the senate and she called on lawmakers to regulate the company. Senator jerry moran a republican from kansas astor to get specific what regulations or legal actions by congress or by administrative action. You think would have the most consequence or be feared most by facebook instagram or allied companies. I strongly encouraged performing section to thirty two exempt decisions about algorithms right so modifying two-thirty around content. I think has a. It's it's very complicated. Because i- user generated content is something that companies have less control over. They have a hundred percent control over their algorithms and facebook should not get a free pass on choices. It makes deprioritize growth and vitality and reactive nece over public safety. They shouldn't get a free pass on that because they're paying for their profits right now with our safety section to thirty is the piece of internet law. That's been interpreted to mean. Tech companies are not liable for content posted by users on their platforms. And how to saying. Yep okay but let's hold them responsible for their algorithms that spread misinformation and create harm. How can also suggested that. Congress created dedicated. Oversight body led by former tech company employees who can suggest reforms for media platforms like facebook and there needs to be a regular trae home or someone like me could do a tour of duty after working at a place like this and and have a place to work on things like regulation to bring that information out to the oversight boards that that have the right to to do oversight and she said yeah.

What Does Monopoly Mean in the Internet Age?
"Lawmakers have had it out for facebook for a while last year a house judiciary subcommittee report accused the tech giant of anticompetitive behaviour and in december. Facebook got suit on monday. Those lawsuits were dismissed. It's a big win. For the social media company it also signals a rocky path forward for legislators both sides of the aisle trying to rein in big tech here to break down. the latest development is recode serene ghaffari high serene. Hey adam so let's start with the lawsuits. What were they about yes. The lawsuits basically accused facebook of acting as a monopoly to crush. Its competition two different lawsuits. One was filed by the federal trade commission or the ftc which is the top government agency for enforcing antitrust laws. And then there was a parallel lawsuit also filed by forty eight attorneys general from different states and territories in the us and they both essentially said the same thing that facebook's allegedly monopolistic practices leave consumers with less choices for which social networking apps. They wanna use and advertisers have less choices for aware. They want actually advertise reach. People lawsuits also said that. Facebook engage in a quote systemic strategy to eliminate their competition and that this was something really tactical that facebook was actively doing crush its competitors. What exactly did that strategy look like so. The lawsuit said that when facebook bought instagram. Back in two thousand twelve and remember at that time. Instagram was a startup. it was considered an up and coming rival to facebook They said that that was an example of something that facebook shouldn't have been allowed to do because in regulators view this was essentially facebook trying to stifle competition by eating it up and buying it rather than letting market competitor truly compete and they also point to win. Facebook bought the messaging app called whatsapp in two thousand fourteen. Again this up and coming service. That was rivaling. facebook and facebook went ahead and bought it today. More people are on. What's app than they are on facebook's own messenger product but that doesn't matter for facebook because it's all part of the facebook ecosystem now

It gets really complex to say like we're gonna start sharing data on servers when we have to admit it's facebook service but it's not all the data it's businesses a lot of..

"whatsapp" Discussed on Daily Tech News Show
"The business that does this but if you are that data can be stored on. Facebook servers Which you can then use to create personalized facebook ads. Originally myself and a lot of people thought this was applying to all chats just two businesses and just to businesses that take advantage of this feature. The new policy does not affect personal chats. It does not affect user profiles. The delay is meant to give. What's more time to explain that to people because it was very confusing when they first did the pop up about this and they wanna give users more time to realize what's really going on. We'll see if that works. Meanwhile india's ministry sent an email to whatsapp head will guard calling on the app to withdraw the change. The ministry wants clarification on how the update impacts data sharing with facebook and third parties even within that business area where you're targeting ads. And they want to know why. The european union is exempt from this policy. Change and india is not that would likely be because india doesn't have a rule against it yet. Europe does the gdp are however india's parliament is debating a personal data protection bill which if passed could change how. What's app is allowed to treat data so so rob india's basically saying like not only white. Why are you letting europe out of this. But why aren't you waiting to see what we do with our law to me. This is a case that is probably going to be talked about. Im- business classes and marketing classes for years to come because facebook for all practical purposes. They created an issue that they didn't have to create basically their flaw was just not explaining this as well as they possibly could front they. It's almost as though they intentionally left vague so they could add stuff or remove stuff to it later and now they're paying for it because earth has reacted ho no. No we don't like this and you know we've seen you know the signal went down Because of how many people have moved over to a telegram is growing like Like wildfire so. This is a case. Where if you really understand what facebook is saying. They're going to do if this data is not that big of a deal but the way they didn't explain it up front in i is wreaking havoc with them and they're delaying three months. I wouldn't bet on that. I would not be shocked if this gets delayed again just because of just how old earth has reacted to this. Yeah i wouldn't be shocked either It's it's difficult to explain this sort of thing. And in the heady days of of the two thousand ten's you could just update that privacy policy. Push out a pop up. That says new privacy policy. Click okay to agree and get away with it..
