🔌 Meta plans to invest over $10 billion in a 40,000-kilometer subsea cable project to enhance global connectivity. The "W"-shaped cable will give Meta greater control of its network, linking almost every continent. This builds on the success of the "2Africa" project, which focused on expanding internet access in Africa.
✨ TikTok introduces new updates in the EU to enhance safety for young users. These include integrating mental health support, limiting appearance-altering effects for teens, and advancing data separation measures to strengthen user protection.
📱 Threads launches new feature inspired by Bluesky, enabling users to switch seamlessly between different feeds: "Following," "For You," and custom lists directly from the home screen.
