Facebook and Instagram will block DMs to teens unless they’re from a friend

For Messenger, in particular, young users will only be able to receive messages from their…

He’s needled the company over its scandals, urged regulators to take it on, and even disabled Meta’s internal iOS apps, throwing it into momentary chaos.  But today, Cook may be Meta’s biggest asset. And certainly not by design.  In a series of moves meant to solidify Apple’s market position, Cook’s handed Meta several gifts. He’s established a category for its riskiest bet, hampered its advertising competitors, and given its messaging apps a path to global leadership. With…

Billie Eilish’s ‘Bury A Friend’ Inspired ‘True Detective’ Season 4

Billie Eilish‘s “Bury A Friend” serves as the title sequence music for True Detective’s fourth season, but as the show’s director and showrunner Issa Lopez explained in a new interview, the pop singer’s influence on the show goes much deeper. “I started writing it during the lockdown, and I was listening day and night to Billie Eilish,” Lopez told Indiewire on Monday following the show’s Sunday premiere. “Billie’s irony and melancholy and poetry informed a lot of what was happening in the series.

On the other hand, the Israel-Gaza war is dominating the news, and as one of the most prominent Muslim entertainers out there, Egyptian American Youssef is very much in the spotlight.These two worlds are colliding the day we meet in December. Youssef is…

My friend David Leland’s films always cheered for the underdog | Film

David Leland was a master of understatement with a social conscience and wildly wicked sense of humour, arising like his friends the Pythons from our everyday humdrum British universe in the 60s and 70s.More than 40 years ago I saw the astonishing Made in Britain. The film that made Tim Roth – who played a violent skinhead – a star, was written by Leland for the producer and director Alan Clarke.
