Social media giant Meta has apologised after its automatic translation tool erroneously declared Chief Minister Siddaramaiah dead while translating a condolence message posted by the Karnataka CMO in Kannada on Facebook.

Meta will begin removing monetization privileges and stop recommending content from accounts that repeatedly post unoriginal content, many times aided by AI.

Tech giant Meta has apologized and said it has fixed an auto-translation issue that led one of its social media platforms to mistakenly announce the death of Indian politician Siddaramaiah.

Like YouTube, Meta says it won't penalize users who are engaging with other people's content, doing things like making reaction videos, joining a trend, or adding their own takes.

Famed investor Marc Andreessen is scheduled to take the stand on Thursday to defend his role on the Facebook board of directors when it was hit with a $5 billion fine in 2019 for alleged violations of an agreement with a U.

Meta is working on ways to credit original creators and tackle spammy, repetitive content.

Threads is testing letting you sign up with a Facebook account rather than an Instagram account. The new option, spotted by Social Media Today, doesn't appear to be widely available yet, but is already mentioned in a Meta support article.

In a Threads post on Monday, Zuckerberg revealed plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars building several massive AI data centers across the US, including one that will come online as soon as next year.
