Maharashtra body vows step against FB over manja ads

IndiaTimes Friday, 12 January 2024
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) informed the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Friday that it would initiate legal and criminal proceedings against Facebook and its owner, Meta, if it failed to remove advertisements for the sale of nylon manja from its page "Marketplace". MPCB's oral submission came after counsel for Facebook and Meta failed to reply on steps taken to curb the sale of the thread that has claimed many lives. Maharashtra has banned nylon manja, but clandestine sales continue due to lax policing.

WhatsApp Is Rolling Out Passkeys for iOS

WhatsApp Is Rolling Out , Passkeys for iOS. The announcement was made on April 24. WhatsApp passkey support on iPhones comes months after Meta's encrypted messaging app made the feature available to Android users, The Verge reports. . Passkeys are meant to replace passwords because they are more secure and convenient. They also enable you to sign in when disconnected from a network. To enable passkeys for WhatsApp on iOS, open settings, then go to accounts, which is where you'll find the option. However, rollouts can take time, so keep checking if you don't see passkeys right away. WhatsApp spokesperson Zade Alsawah said more people should see the option "in the coming weeks.". Alsawah also said that a QR code from "Linked Devices" will still need to be scanned to log into the platform on other devices. “since Mac, Windows and web can’t be primary devices for an account.”
