A major data breach reportedly hit the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend, potentially affecting up to 2.8 billion user accounts—making it one of the most significant leaks in social media history.

WhatsApp has reached a major user milestone in the EU, potentially placing it under stricter regulations under the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA).

According to a recent Meta filing on February 14, WhatsApp's open channels—which function similarly to social networks by allowing public figures and news outlets to share updates—averaged 46.8 million monthly active users in the second half of 2024. This number crosses the EU's 45 million-user threshold for a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under the DSA.
