A video by Elon Musk Zone claimed that the billionaire bought Facebook in 2023. The YouTube video is causing a frenzy online and has received over 44,000 views in a single day. The YouTube channel that posted the video is dedicated solely to Elon Musk's achievements, called the Elon Musk Zone.

With over a million subscribers, the channel claims to "transform the original content from shows, podcasts, and keynotes with Mr. Elon Musk to provide the viewers with a more immersive experience. We hope to educate as many people as possible through this channel."

The video falsely quotes the owner and is named, "Elon Musk: 'I officially bought Facebook'." However, the Twitter owner seemingly never made a statement of that sort.

Throughout the video, the narrator talks about Elon's successes and why he would wish to buy the Meta platform rather than prove that the Tesla owner had bought the social media platform.

Hence, the video does not spell out the truth and couldn't be much further from it.

Musk bought Twitter in 2022. One of the reasons was his love for the platform. Since acquiring it, he has made several changes to the social media application. While some measures have received widespread support, others have come under fire for being anti-democratic.

Fans have been wanting him to buy Facebook and make adjustments similar to what he did with Twitter. The idea of him buying the Meta social networking platform isn't something new. There have been similar rumors about him buying Google, amongst other things, before.

Last year, social media users came across a screenshot that allegedly showcased a tweet shared by Musk that said he was interested in purchasing Facebook.

Gossip-seekers claimed that Elon tweeted: "Now Im going to buy Facebook and delete it haha." On the SpaceX founder's Twitter page, though, the tweet was nowhere to be found.

To give the impression that Musk had shared it, it is thought to have been made up.

Musk and Zuckerberg share a frosty relationship. They have not shied away from calling each other names. Musk nicknamed Zuckerberg "Zuck the Fourteenth" as a reference to the French king Louis the XIV, known for his hubris and maximalist nature.

In 2022, Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion. The two men have been competing for advertiser dollars and the attention of users and influencers since October.

In late January 2023, SpaceXmania.com released an article that claimed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg begged Twitter CEO Elon Musk to buy Facebook from him.

The story claimed that Zuckerberg posted a tear-filled video on his personal Facebook account and begged forgiveness for his company's past mistakes. It also appealed to Musk to save his precious company from its imminent downfall.

The story was labeled as satire on the website, with a note found at the bottom of the article that said, "This is a satire and not real news."

Their competitiveness is well known, but it hasn't gotten to the point where Musk is set to buy Facebook and Zuckerberg is ready to sell it.

Following a thorough risk analysis by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), employees of government departments and agencies have been told to remove TikTok from their work-related devices, The Irish Times reported.

The NCSC said that its evaluation "leant heavily on the experiences" of the European Commission, the European Union, the UK, and other organisations in addition to being in line with procedures in other nations.

Due to data protection and privacy concerns related to the company's relationship with the Chinese government, a number of nations, notably the UK and the Netherlands, have blocked the use of social networking app on government computers.

On Friday, parent departments and then staff received a message outlining the instructions, which The Irish Times obtained. They were instructed to remove the Chinese-owned social media app from any devices that were already running it and stopping installing the programme altogether.

A spokesperson of the Department of Communications, which is in charge of the NCSC, said the restriction extends to all departments, agencies, and other government entities falling under their purview, with the exception of "exceptional cases where there is a business need," as per The Irish Times.

The Irish Times reported that the department sees it as being complementary to current security measures based on the 2021 Cyber Security Baseline Standards Framework intended to increase the security and resilience of public sector ICT systems.

Analysts weren't overly surprised by the decision because similar bans had been implemented by the European Commission and the US, two countries that have expressed privacy concerns.

Minister of State for eGovernment Ossian Smyth, last month, indicated the NCSC was due to issue new guidance to the Government around policies for devices assigned to their civil servants.

He said, "That guidance doesn't name specific companies; it describes how to measure the type of risk from different types of apps and what type of precautions to take in which circumstances. It doesn't particularly name any apps or companies.

Contacts, photos, location information, and user interactions with other applications are among the types of information that may be accessible through social media apps.

Honan noted that identical functionality could be found in other social networking apps that are situated in different countries.

In reference to State agency staff and other potentially vulnerable users, "If you're going to ban TikTok well then we should be banning other social media apps as well."

The action taken on Friday is a sign of deepening discomfort with China and related security issues. The European Commission issued a directive to its workforce in February 2017 ordering them to immediately uninstall any commission-related apps from all work-related and personal devices.

Apps like Skype for Business and the commission's internal email were scheduled to be removed from devices that continue to use TikTok, which is controlled by Beijing-based ByteDance, starting in the middle of March.

TikTok responded to the commission's ruling by saying it was "disappointed with the decision, which we believe to be misguided and based on fundamental misconceptions," reported The Irish Times.

In an era of escalating geopolitical tensions, the company has promised it will not provide the Chinese Government access to user data, but this hasn't done much to allay worries.

It is fair to say that Substack has had a dramatic week and a half or so, and I talked to their CEO Chris Best about it. The company announced a new feature called Substack Notes, which looks quite a bit like Twitter Substack authors can post short bits of text to share links and kick off discussions, and people can reply to them, like the posts, the whole thing. Like I said, Twitter.

Twitter, under the direction of Elon Musk, did not like the prospect of this competition, and for several days last week, Twitter was taking aggressive actions against Substack. At one point you couldnt even like tweets with Substack links in them. At another point, clicking on a Substack link resulted in a warning message about the platform being unsafe. And finally, Twitter redirected all searches for the word Substack to newsletter. Musk claimed Substack was somehow downloading the Twitter database to bootstrap Substack Notes, which, well, Im still not sure what that means, but I at least asked Chris what he thought that meant and whether he was doing it.

The hunt for the next Twitter: all the news about alternative social media platforms - The Verge

In 1969, I was 11 years old, and I remember wanting to jump off a dock in the Thousand Islands where my parents and I vacationed one Labor Day weekend. It was so hot. I did not have my bathing suit on, just a top and shorts, and my mom said, Take off your shirt and jump. I couldnt do it. I had already internalized a self-consciousness about my physical being. I had just started to develop. Already I had the awareness that something was happening to alter my perceptions of how to look, act and be at this otherwise tender age, especially with boys, some of whom had been my friends as long as I could remember. And with those perceptions, with that self-consciousness, came a sense of embarrassment and even something akin to shame.

Reading about the adverse experience of vulnerable young women and social networking, I am not sure much has changed. Society continues to set young women into various degrees of anxiety about body image. What intrigues me about these discussions, however, is how much we do not talk about those social influences that exist outside and apart from technology. Larger social forces set the context of unanswered questions and unaddressed concerns for young women. The sites exacerbate body image anxieties, but they do not create them. Technology, whether it is social networking or AI, becomes the target for a very complex mix of societal dynamics.

No doubt, technology plays a role. When the Meta whistle-blower Frances Haugen described in testimony before Congress how Mark Zuckerberg blew her off when she explained that Instagram acted in deleterious ways toward vulnerable teenage girls, I was as disgusted as I was not surprised by his failure to respond. The possessor of a preternatural teenage mentality himself, he could not be expected to think differently. For all his Caesar Augustus self-image, Mark Zuckerberg is a standard product of his adolescent male upbringing in a society that still, many decades later, has done very little to make teenage years for young women easy. Before we start setting rules that might truly impede innovation and handicap our ability to compete globally, let us be sure we know what influences are causes, in what contributing degree or kind and what are the concomitant effects on vulnerable young women and in some cases young men too.

I am not optimistic. If on matters of technology-influenced concerns, say the most benign of them alla national data breach lawwe cannot get federal consensus in Congress, can you imagine how anyone would be willing to take on the complexities of male and female teen-age socialization? I can hear the corporate campaign money members of Congress now: What had you done to do deserve a school shooting, a drug or alcohol dependency, an eating disorder, suicidal ideation, a teen-age pregnancy or responsibility for one? The list goes on and on

I am all for personal responsibility, but we now live in a society that has become increasingly allergic to sociological dynamics. Those dynamics are too hard to look at. They bring up too many ghosts. They expose feelings and behaviors that bring us sadness, disgust and regret. Better not to look. Just find the villain and knock him/her/it off. Critical race theory. Transgender adolescents. New technology. I am old enough now to remember how Bush pre used Willie Horton and race in the 1988 presidential campaign, Bush Junior pounced on gays in 2004, and of course Trump used migrants in 2016. My bet is that we will hear a whole lot less about the issues that animate media today after the election in 2024. They will not be resolved. They simply will not be pumped up like helium balloons rising for distinctly political purposes.

Technological issues, too, will remain. I will be curious to watch how hypocritical we will, or will not, be to attack with vitriol the CEO of a foreign-owned and wildly successful social networking site for all the world to see when so much of our own U.S. terrain grossly fails privacy and security controls. Or what, exactly, will be done about section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Even though simple reform is available. A content moderation policy for every platform without substance except due process (i.e. consistency) and user means of communicating with platforms to address harms such as nonconsensual disclosure is all that is necessary. Still, Congress will do nothing. Too much money breathes into our representatives coffers from Big Tech that wants no regulation whatsoever, even lightweight and common-sense fixes.

I am intrigued by the targeting of technology, especially social networking and now AI, by politicians and commentators alike. In 2017, through the University of Massachusetts Bepress Scholar Works, I published a book about information technology in higher education. The title is Humanitys Canvas. As we did with the internet, we are now doing with social networking and AI: throwing our humanity on a canvas and then we are shocked at what we see. In fact, we are so shocked that we must find villains to explain it.

We need to hold the mirror up to ourselves. If we do, we may see a very different picture. And might we also enjoy the benefit of that exercise. After a quarter century of technology exceptionalism, we may place technology in its proper place. It plays a significant role, one that should be addressed as neither hero nor villain, but like so many other social, market and legal factors, the subject of much-needed public policy.
