Meta staff ordered 'attorney-client privilege' hats amid teen safety lawsuits

Meta is facing ongoing lawsuits over alleged harm to teenagers' mental health and safety, with plaintiffs' lawyers accusing the company of misusing attorney-client privilege to shield evidence from public disclosure. A recently unsealed document revealed that employees on the Teen Accounts team, internally called Project Nido, ordered baseball caps emblazoned with 'a/c priv.' Meta's lawyers maintain the privilege claims are legitimate, but opposing counsel argue the label has been applied far too broadly. Plaintiffs cite the branded merchandise as evidence of what they describe as a deliberate 'culture of privilege abuse' at Meta. The Teen Accounts feature was launched in 2024 as part of Meta's stated effort to make Instagram safer for younger users.

Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound Elite Gen 2 brings Wi-Fi 6E directly to earbuds

Qualcomm has unveiled its Snapdragon Sound Elite Gen 2 chip, which integrates micro-power Wi-Fi 6E technology directly into an audio chip for the first time.

This means users could maintain audio playback even when their phone is out of Bluetooth range, such as in another room. Qualcomm had made a similar pitch in 2023 with its S7 Pro sound platform and XPAN technology, which also aimed to extend audio connectivity beyond Bluetooth's limitations.
