Podcast: Total Chaos at Meta

•

Employees inside Meta threatening to quit over the recent speech policy changes; thousands of apps hijacked to steal your location data; and lots of stories around the LA fires.

We've got much more on what is happening inside Meta with the company's recent speech policy changes. Jason runs us through it. After the break, Joseph explains how thousands of apps have been hijacked to steal your location data, possibly without the app developers' knowledge. In the subscribers-only section, we talk about various stories intersecting with the LA fires, such as Amazon delivery drivers and AI images. (YouTube version to come shortly.)
