A pivotal trial for the parent company of Instagram and Facebook kicked off in federal court in Oakland Tuesday, with four states seeking billions of dollars in damages as well as fundamental changes to how Meta runs its platforms.
Meta said on Thursday it plans to lay off roughly 10% of its workforce, or about 8,000 people, the latest in a string of tech industry layoffs fueled in part by artificial intelligence.
Meta is taking things to a whole new level with artificial intelligence, and it could mean employees of the company reporting to an A.I. version of their boss.
Facebook and WhatsApp are failing to remove imposter accounts that "have led to tens of thousands of dollars of fraudulent transfers," says Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
A jury found Meta and YouTube liable in a lawsuit that aimed to hold social media platforms responsible for harm to children using their services.
The woman - identified in court as KGM - is the key plaintiff in the case, which alleges she began using social media as young as age 6 and became dependent on the apps.
