Clegg says too often harmless content gets taken down or restricted, and too many people get penalized unfairly. But Meta has pledged to quote improve the precision and accuracy with which we act on our rules. End quote Threads is set to receive a significant search update in the coming weeks, enhancing its search capabilities with new filtering options. This update allows users to refine their searches by specific profiles and date ranges, going beyond the current basic keyword search for trending topics, posts or accounts. The updated search bar will feature a settings icon that when tap reveals options for after date, before date and from profile. This added functionality brings Threads closer to the advanced search feature features offered by platforms like X and bluesky, providing users with greater control and precision in their searches. China has responded to the U.S. s recent chip export restrictions by imposing a ban on shipments of several key minerals and metals to the U.S. these materials, including gallium, germanium, antimony and super hard materials, are essential components in semiconductor manufacturing and military applications. China's Commerce Ministry also announced stricter controls on graphite related exports.

A new feature coming to Chrome uses AI to quickly check trustworthiness of a website by providing a summary of reviews from independent websites about the store or website you're visiting. X user Leon noticed the new AI powered feature called Stored Reviews, which provides a quick summary of reviews from trusted independent review platforms like trustpilot, Scam Advisor and others.

Meta says that generative AI had a muted impact on global elections this year despite widespread concerns that AI could impact Meta platforms. Coordinated networks of accounts seeking to spread propaganda or false content largely fail to build a significant audience on Facebook and Instagram or use AI effectively, according to Nick Clegg, Meta's of Global Affairs. The volume of AI generated misinformation was low and Meta was able to quickly label or remove the content, he said. With Tesla's Holiday update this year comes an Apple Watch app that includes native phone key access, which will allow you to unlock or start your Tesla from an Apple Watch. The native Apple Watch experience will let you view the charge status, pop the frunk and remotely warm up your car.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or cfpb, is proposing a new rule that will limit data brokers ability to sell American sensitive personal and financial information like Social Security numbers. The proposed rule would consider data brokers that sell information about consumers income, credit history, credit score or debt payments to be consumer reporting agencies. As such, they'd be required to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting act or fcra, a law limiting how these agencies can obtain and use the information provided in consumer reports. In other words, to be treated like credit bureaus and background check companies which already have to comply with the FCRA. And finally, Apple Music's 2024 replay has rolled out to all users. The Spotify Rapt like feature gives users a look back at their year in music by highlighting their top songs, artists and albums they streamed.
