News & Reviews:   Meta Facebook

In this era of AI, Mark Zuckerberg just announced a new Meta AI website. At the moment, the website is not available for Malaysians yet but here's what we know so far. 

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has announced that his Ministry alongside the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will be holding a meeting with Meta next week to discuss several matters. These include online safety and the spread of fake news on Meta platforms.

Late last night, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Meta Quest users experienced login failures. On Facebook, users are instructed to log in again, but all efforts are in vain. This caused everyone to panic thinking their accounts have been hacked.

If you commonly use Facebook, you might know about a new privacy setting called “link history”. In case you didn’t know, Facebook can track the links you have clicked and visited over the past few years. This is how you can deal with it.

Previously, the broadcast feature is exclusive to WhatsApp. But that won’t stay for long, Meta is aiming to bring the same feature to Messenger and Facebook soon. That said, what should you know about it?

Blue Ticks beside your name or an organisation is one way to prove that you or the group are legitimate. It's a common feature on Twitter and it's finally coming to Facebook. You can find it straightaway if you type out Meta Verified on the Facebook search bar.

As you should know, Telegram has finally agreed to work with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Royal Police Force (PDRM) to combat cybercrimes on its platform. We have been wondering when MCMC would also take action against Facebook and the announcement has been made.

By now, you should know scams in Malaysia have been quite prominent. Not only are we getting scam messages from our mobile phones, but they also exist in Facebook Ads which poses a huge problem. To address this problem, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil is going to take action.

As you know, Twitter is the first company with the concept of verified social media accounts. Meta decided to jump on the bandwagon and started testing its Meta Verified in Australia and New Zealand last month. Now, the company is ready for the service to go live.

If you recall, non-fungible tokens (NFT) were the rage that companies tried to capitalise on but were met with a lukewarm reception from the netizens. Last year, Meta wanted to integrate NFTs into its Facebook and Instagram platforms to help creators and it looks like it's not turning out so great.
