While this is a win for platform security, it raises questions: Can messaging apps ever fully police their own networks? Or are these black markets just going to resurface elsewhere? Let’s debate—does this set a new standard for messaging app responsibility, or is it just a game of digital whack-a-mole? #Cybersecurity #TechDebate #MessagingApps #DigitalSafety #OnlineFraud #Tech00Share

Are we putting too much faith in so-called secure apps?

Is real-time location sharing a must-have, or a privacy headache? #GoogleMessages #TechDebate #DigitalSafety #LocationSharing #MessagingApps #Tech40Share
brett13+FollowIs Group Chat Muting a Game Changer?Ever wish you could mute your family group chat without ghosting everyone? Google Messages is testing a snooze feature that lets you silence group notifications for an hour, a day, or even forever—without anyone knowing. You can even fine-tune it to only get pinged if someone tags you directly. Would this make you more likely to stick around in noisy chats, or does it just encourage more group spam? Curious to hear how you’d use it! #GoogleMessages #GroupChat #TechDebate #DigitalWellness #MessagingApps #Tech80Share
