🛑 Don’t Let Meta Train AI on Your Photos! 📸

🇪🇺 EU Grills Meta Over ‘Addictive’ Social Features ⚖️

European regulators are threatening Meta with massive fines over features they say make Facebook and Instagram too addictive. This could mean big changes for how algorithms keep users scrolling and how we measure engagement. Marketers should watch this closely, as the “attention economy” might be getting a legal reality check.

🤖 Meta AI Gets Creative with New Presets ✨

Meta is adding a presets panel to its AI to help you jumpstart your creativity with just one tap. From restoring old photos to turning yourself into a video game hero, it is all about making AI more accessible. It is perfect for brands that want to experiment with trendy visuals without a massive production budget.

🆔 WhatsApp Usernames Are Finally Arriving (Mostly) 📱

WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to reserve and change usernames, moving away from just using phone numbers. While this is great for brand identity, it is already causing some concerns about impersonation and fake accounts. Grab your brand’s handle now before someone else beats you to it!
