In case you didn't know, Meta has been secretly developing a rival app to Twitter called Threads. Well, it seems that we are getting the app earlier than expected as it has appeared on the Apple App Store. It's expected to launch on 6 July 2023 globally.

Twitter users are ironically taking to the platform to express their frustrations at Elon Musk’s recent decision to aggressively limit how many tweets users can view per day. Allegedly implemented temporarily to address “extreme levels of data scraping”, verified accounts are now limited to 6000 posts per day, unverified accounts to 600 per day and new unverified accounts to 300 per day.

The latest in a flurry of changes to the platform since Musk’s takeover, many have expressed willingness to switch to a competing app. Well, Meta may take this opportunity to expedite the release of its Twitter competitor, Threads. In fact, the app briefly appeared on Google Play yesterday.

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.

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp will soon add the ability to send video messages of up to 1-minute between users. Spotted on the latest beta version of the app on both iOS and Android, the feature is expected for a wide release in the near future.

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.

When it comes to advertising online, most systems let you set a budget and choose how you want your ad to be presented. For Facebook, you do this with the Meta Business Suite. The platform is mostly based on software, which means bugs can occur.
