OK, WTH is going on with Meta? How do these changes affect your Facebook, IG and Threads posts?
First, Meta is abandoning its third-party fact-checkers for community notes, like X. These fact-checking partners say they were "blindsided" by the decision to axe them.

Anbefaler denne fra Torbjørn Færøvik om kinesiske cyberoperasjoner. Artikkelen gir en god og overordnet beskrivelse av dagens cyberaktivitet. Dersom Kina går inn for å ta Taiwan innen 2027/8, slik Xi Jinpings regime planlegger, eskalerer konfliktbildet betraktelig.
