Many YouTubers have created insane fears that "WhatsApp will not work, do not use WhatsApp" to increase views. This is to give a little courage to those who are afraid to look at them. WhatsApp's new privacy policy states that "your phone number, details of payments you make through WhatsApp Payments, your IP address at the time of the transaction, and your device model will be collected and shared with third-party Facebook hosted services as needed." In fact Facebook is not selling that information to unknown third party companies. Everyone knows that WhatsApp business.

Facebook wants to stop people from abusing its system, so it's creating a world of bots that can mimic them. To test the platform, the company's researchers released a paper on "Web Enabled Simulation" (WES) - basically a shadow Facebook where users who don't have a human eye want to share, or friend (or harass, abuse and scam). Facebook describes building a scaled-down, wall-off simulation of its platform, with fake users modeling different types of real behavior. For example, a "scammer" bot can be trained to connect with "target" bots that display similar behaviors to real-life Facebook scam victims. Other bots may be trained to attack fake users' privacy or search for "bad" content that violates Facebook rules. It helps to detect Facebook bugs. Researchers can build WES users, whose sole purpose is to steal information from other bots, and keep them loose in the system. If they suddenly find ways to access mor...

Google is launching a new Kids section for the Google Play Store, which will offer a selection of so-called “ Teacher Approved ” apps. The search giant says these are apps that meet its quality standards and are highly rated by teachers. Each approved app includes a list of reasons why teachers like it, including age-appropriateness, and what it’s trying to teach children. According to Google, it had originally planned to launch the new section later this year, but it brought the launch forward since so many children are now spending so much of their time at home in front of screens.
