An expert
@theguardian.com
quotes: the “idea that WhatsApp can selectively and retroactively access the content of [end-to-end encrypted] individual chats is a mathematical impossibility."

Here's the letter from Meta's legal counsel to Quinn Emanuel, which represents both NSO Group and individuals making these categorically false claims. As numerous experts have noted -- their suit has no evidence and they should withdraw it or face a sanctions challenge.

“Social media’s association with adolescent well-being was complex and nonlinear, varying by age and sex,” [a recent] study concluded. That’s no doubt true, and it’s one reason these cases don’t belong in court.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh,
@jeffhorwitz.bsky.social
!? The documents you cite in the story itself contradict this headline.

This sure seems important. “We know families are worried, but our results do not support the idea that simply spending time on social media or gaming leads to mental health problems – the story is far more complex than that,” said the lead author Dr Qiqi Cheng.

Absolutely gobsmacked that the sole "expert"
@laurengoode.bsky.social
quoted here is a lawyer who, just last year, (in)famously condemned Meta and quit representing the company. So much for dispassionate reporting,

The District Court’s decision to reject the FTC's arguments in this matter is correct - and it recognizes the fierce competition we face. Meta will remain focused on innovating and investing in America.

Leave it to
@reuters.com
and
@jeffhorwitz.bsky.social
to fault Meta for removing scam ads from Facebook and Instagram. What disingenuous reporting.

Speaking of stunts, one wonders if Raul Torrez plans to raise money off sending the letter today, just as he did a few weeks ago.

Again,
@reuters.com
/@jeffhorwitz.bsky.social are misconstruing and misrepresenting the facts. With respect to frauds and scams, Mark Zuckerberg's "integrity strategy pivot" was to ↑ teams' goals and instruct them to redouble efforts to fight frauds and scams globally, not just from specific markets.

Blind-sourced gossip may make for an entertaining read, but it's just that, gossip. We told
@nytimes.com
on record: "the conversation these anonymous sources claim happened was met with surprised-disbelief by the people who supposedly had it." Wonder why the Times didn't include it.

At the very end of this thread, Jeff, you include a caveat that “everything here relies on plaintiffs’ context.” Turns out that was burying the lede.
