In a strategic pivot, TikTok announces "TikTok Notes," aiming to recapture the essence of Instagram's initial photo-sharing premise by integrating its current photo posts. This expansion into new territories signifies TikTok's agility in adapting to user trends and exploring varied platforms amidst uncertain regulatory futures. This initiative is encapsulated by the intent: "TikTok’s looking to launch a clone of what Instagram originally was."

In response to escalating complaints about bots, X has initiated a substantial crackdown, affecting prominent figures like Elon Musk, who lost 43,000 followers, hinting at widespread bot activity.  Despite Musk's prior accusations of inflated bot figures by past management, with claims of up to 33% bot presence, this recent action seems to barely scratch the surface.

Meta's updated AI labeling policy now covers deceptive audio and images on its platforms, aiming for transparency without compromising freedom of expression. New labels, "Made with AI" and "Imagined with AI," will identify AI-generated content, focusing on labeling over removal, except for content that violates community standards. Meta states, "Our commitment is to transparency and providing context to our users, ensuring they are informed about the content they encounter."
