Facebook Ads are targeting children. Technology expert Carmi Levy joins the Nightshift and talks about a video in which Sarah-Lynn Williams, Meta's former director of global public policy (fired in 2017), alleges the company uses advanced technology to exploit users' intentions, serving content that may harm them, particularly teenagers. This accusation gains weight considering Williams's background and her tell-all book, “Careless People”, which Meta is actively trying to suppress. Carmi suggests that like Frances Haugen before her, Williams poses a significant threat to Meta, making this situation multifaceted and compelling.

Shane is looking for a new cell phone provider but is worried about e-sim scams and scammers spoofing his number, to steal his information. Cybersecurity expert Ritesh Kotak discussed the growing threat of SIM swapping fraud, highlighting how social engineering and easily accessible personal information are exploited to steal phone numbers and compromise accounts. He recommends using authenticator apps and printing recovery codes as crucial security measures. Get more cyber security tips:  https://riteshkotak.com/
