If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”
The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Zuckerberg Says 'Everything I Say Leaks' in Leaked Meeting Audio

Is the new Meta content moderation system up yet? I’m already starting to notice the difference. You only have to wait 10 minutes, instead of two days like you used to, for them to tell you they’ve done nothing

Accidentally caught a double feature on TV of Venom (2018) and The Mask (1994)
They’re basically different genres of the same movie

Leaders aren’t allowed to break the law? What a quirky little society
Korea Expert here. I’ll explain what’s going on over there because the Orient can be confusing to Westerners. In Korea, there is a concept known as “the law.” (법) This is a set of rules which are enforced to encourage prosocial behavior and ensure stability which leaders aren’t allowed to break.

James Acaster is my absolute favourite standup comedian. Repertoire is one of the funniest and mostly cleverly written specials ever!
I’m so looking forward to this now. And I’m so glad it’s actually available here on streaming!

The new HBO special JAMES ACASTER: HECKLERS WELCOME is so so good. He’s just a fascinating dude, and it’s extremely funny while also being really sharp about performing and audiences, plus he’s a really brilliant physical performer. Just a great mix of extravagantly silly and super thoughtful.
