Meta has blocked the leaked JD Vance dossier on Threads, Instagram, and Facebook.

Meta is restricting links on Threads, Instagram, and Facebook that lead to Ken Klippenstein’s newsletter containing a JD Vance dossier that was allegedly nabbed in an Iranian hack of the Trump campaign. The company has apparently removed posts containing the link and is seemingly blocking links to PDFs of the dossier being hosted elsewhere.

Threads is blocking links to purportedly leaked documents about vice presidential candidate JD Vance. Elon Musk's X blocked links earlier this week.

Meta received a fine of over $100 million in a five-year EU investigation of about 600 million Facebook passwords stored in plaintext.

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has fined Meta €91 million ($101.56 million) as part of a probe into a security lapse in March 2019, when the company disclosed that it had mistakenly stored users' passwords in plaintext in its systems.

Every year on my brother’s birthday, I put up an RIP on Facebook with his photo. At the 20-year mark, I posted a funny story about us as teenagers – we drank some beers, tore up some corn from a farmer’s field and had a “sword fight.” We got caught and had to work on that farm all summer, eventually becoming close with the farmer.

I immediately deleted that story and photo. I apologized to my nephew via text and I mailed a card. I tried to call but he had blocked me.
