Welcome back to our news recap and Nuesletter! This week unfolds with significant developments across various platforms, let’s dive in.
🔍 Fact-Checking Initiative on Threads: Meta's Twitter-like service, Threads, is taking a stand against misinformation. Despite distancing itself from politics, Threads acknowledges the need to combat false information circulating. While direct fact-checking on Threads content is not fully rolled out, the initiative is a move in the right direction.
🚀 Potential Boost for Threads with Cross-Posting Feature: Threads may witness a significant enhancement, courtesy of Meta's testing of a cross-posting feature. This feature will allow Facebook users to seamlessly post on both platforms.
🧐 Oversight Board Expands Scope to Threads: Meta's external advisory group, the Oversight Board, broadens its scope to include Threads. Users on Threads now have the option to appeal to the Oversight Board if dissatisfied with Meta's content moderation decisions.
🌍 EU Investigates TikTok Under Digital Services Act: EU officials swiftly enact their powers under the Digital Services Act (DSA), initiating an investigation into TikTok. The focus is on potential DSA rule violations related to the protection of minors within the app.
🎵 TikTok Expands 'Add to Music App' Feature Globally: TikTok announced the global launch of its “Add to Music App” feature, allowing users to add a song playing on a clip to services like Apple Music and Spotify. This expansion covers 163 new countries, providing users with broader options for music sharing.
🤖 Google's Open-Source AI Models: Google introduces Gemma 2B and 7B, open-source AI models stemming from its flagship Gemini. While Gemini competes with powerful closed AI models, the lightweight Gemma offers accessibility for smaller tasks such as chatbots and summarizations.
🌐 Bluesky's Decentralized Social Networking: Bluesky opened up its federation, enabling a decentralized model of social networking. This move allows anyone to run their server connecting to Bluesky's network, hosting their data, managing their accounts, and setting their rules.

Our Two Cents on Social Media Marketing 🧙♂️
Leverage dark social channels such as private messaging features for personalized and direct communication with your audience. These interactions are not publicly visible but can foster strong connections.
Create visually appealing and well-organized story highlights on platforms like Instagram to showcase important information, product features, or behind-the-scenes content that lasts beyond the typical 24-hour story lifespan.
Incorporate localized hashtags to target specific geographic regions and communities. This can enhance the discoverability of your content among local audiences and niche communities.
