Meta lost 20 million users last quarter

Meta is planning to pump billions more into AI investments this year, despite noting that millions of users have seemingly started to abandon its platforms. In an earning call on Wednesday, Meta reported that figures for “Family daily active people” — the term Meta has coined for all collective users of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Messenger — declined by 20 million this quarter compared to the previous three months.

Meta attributes this fall to “internet disruptions in Iran, as well as a restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia.” It’s up to you whether you take Meta on its word, given that by bundling the user stats together across all its platforms, we can’t tell which ones are most impacted. If I wanted to obscure that a leading social platform was potentially hemorrhaging daily users, that’s certainly what I would do.

This drop comes as Meta says it’s increasing its projected capital expenditures for 2026 to a range of $125-145 billion, $10 billion more than previous estimates. This increased spending is driven by expectations for higher component pricing and, “to a lesser extent,” additional costs for future data center capacity. This is a course correction, according to Meta’s chief financial officer Susan Li, who said in the investor call that Meta had “underestimated our compute demand in the past.”

Meta’s revenue also experienced its fastest growth since 2021, increasing by 33 percent, from $42.3 billion this time last year to $56.3 billion this quarter. Some divisions aren’t doing so hot though — the Reality Labs unit that builds wearables and virtual reality devices reported an operating loss of $4.03 billion over the three-month quarter, and follows Meta’s Reality Labs employees being hit by two waves of layoffs since January.

Meta’s stock price has fallen by more than 7 percent at the time of writing, compared to before the company’s earnings release.

Wondering if that represents those kick off for criticizing the chosen baby killers?????????????????

🚨 "Iran now wants to have nukes because of Israel and America."

Mehdi Hasan just DESTROYED the Israeli spokesperson on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

He flipped the entire narrative:

Israel is the only country in the Middle East with nuclear weapons

Israel bombed six countries last year

Yet the West acts like Iran is the existential threat?

"The problem is Israel, not Iran."

This is the most savage, fact-packed takedown of the double standard in years.

The logic is brutal and undeniable.

Police raid apartment owned by Vahid Reza Adib, partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk

Police have raided a luxury Gold Coast apartment owned by the partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.

Detectives and specialist officers searched Dr Vahid Reza Adib's unit on Goodwin Terrace at Burleigh Heads at about 11am on Thursday.

Police say investigations are ongoing. Police would not confirm the nature of the investigation.

Dr Adib, a Brisbane-based bariatric surgeon, has been in a relationship with Ms Palaszczuk since 2021.

Ms Palaszczuk has this week been promoting her new memoir, The Politics of Being Me, including at an event at the Robina library on Thursday night where she took questions from the audience.

Ms Palaszczuk said she "was not aware" of any police investigation.

On Friday Ms Palaszczuk cancelled a scheduled radio interview with ABC Gold Coast.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Ms Palaszczuk or Dr Adib.

Judge rules Texas must permit 400-acre Muslim city to be built

The ruling opens the door for a 402-acre Muslim community that includes more than 1,000 homes, apartment buildings, a K–12 Islamic school, a mosque, health clinics, retail stores, and more.

A Texas judge has ordered a state agency to comply with a fair housing agreement it entered into with the developer of The Meadow, formerly known as Epic City— a planned Muslim community in North Texas that has been at the center of ongoing investigations and litigation, including from Governor Greg Abbott, state Attorney General Ken Paxton, and the Department of Justice.

ravis District Court Judge Amy Meachum's order on Tuesday mandates that the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) follow the terms of a settlement it reached with developer Community Capital Partners in September 2025, opening the door for a 402-acre Muslim community that includes more than 1,000 homes, apartment buildings, a K–12 Islamic school, a mosque, health clinics, retail stores, and more.

Earlier this year, Community Capital Partners filed a lawsuit against the TWC for the agency's failure to "acknowledge, evaluate, or advance the fair housing policies" that were approved as part of the settlement, per the Dallas Morning News.

The state of Texas has repeatedly accused the developer of violating its Fair Housing Act, citing that the planned community is for Muslims.

Imran Chaudhary, president of Community Capital Partners, rejected the state's notion in a statement, saying that it will implement the equitable housing policies that were agreed upon during settlement discussions. "This ruling confirms what we have maintained from the beginning— that Community Capital Partners has been willing, ready, and committed to following Texas law at every step," said Chaudhary, adding that, "We have done nothing wrong, and this decision reflects that."

The Texas Workforce Commission told the local paper that the court's "flawed" decision "overlooks substantial evidence," maintaining its position that developers are violating the Fair Housing Act. "This development remains under active investigation with our federal partners at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. We are taking immediate steps to appeal this decision," the agency said.

The development is located near the town of Josephine, roughly 40 minutes from Dallas, Texas. In March, Gov. Abbott announced that the TWC launched an investigation into the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) and its affiliates for potential fair housing violations. Community Capital Partners was founded by EPIC members, who have shown their support for Sharia law. EPIC is one of the largest mosques in North Texas.

U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Keller Highlights a Dozen Recent Child Exploitation Prosecutions Across the District

In the Lafayette area:

Christie Elizabeth Dunbar Oster, 38 of Broussard, was indicted for enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity. Oster, an eighth-grade teacher who was named Teacher of the Year in 2025, is charged with having maintained a sexual relationship with a minor victim during most of 2024. As alleged, Oster formed a sexual relationship with one of her eighth-grade students by meeting with her outside of school hours and using their cell phone communications not only to engage in sexual discussions but also to instruct the minor victim to do things like deleting text messages to avoid detection by the minor victim’s parents or others. Oster faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and up to life in federal prison if convicted. This matter is being investigated by FBI and is being prosecuted by United States Attorney Zachary A. Keller with assistance from Paralegal Specialist Joanne Henry-Mills. The case number is No. 26-CR-00158.

Luxe Arlen Thomas, 19 of Scott, was indicted for producing child pornography, interstate transportation of a minor to engage in sexual activity, and other CSAM-related crimes. Thomas, who was a U.S. National Guardsman, engaged in a monthslong pattern of abuse against a minor girl whom he understood to have intellectual disabilities and to be in the foster system, with Thomas traveling to another state to engage in sexually explicit conduct with her and then transporting her back to Louisiana to do the same, producing and possessing images of sexually explicit conduct as he did so. Thomas faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and up to life in prison if convicted. This matter is being investigated by HSI and Louisiana Bureau of Investigations and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig R. Bordelon with assistance from Legal Assistant Tanya Broussard. The case number is 26-CR-00164.

Rickey James Hebert, 66 of Abbeville, was indicted for conspiracy to produce child pornography, attempted enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity, and receipt of child pornography. As alleged, Hebert was paying a Filipina woman to create live videos of minor children being sexually abused and otherwise engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Hebert faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and up to life in prison. The case is being investigated by the FBI and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danny Siefker with assistance from Paralegal Specialist Denise Duhon. The case number is No. 6:26-CR-00151.

Scott Nicholas Martel, 36 of Basile, was indicted for receiving and possessing CSAM. As alleged, Martel falsely portrayed himself online as having access to minors by using online names such as “BaileyMomof2daughters” to secure CSAM from other users in internet-based chat rooms. A search of Martel’s phone in February 2026 revealed a trove of CSAM he received in this way, as well as AI-generated pornographic materials involving Martel’s use of pictures available online of minor children living in his area. Martel faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The FBI is investigating this case, and it is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Elliott Cassidy with assistance from Paralegal Specialist Denise Duhon. The case number is 26-CR-00095.

Michael Roy Williams, 61 of Opelousas, was indicted in two separate cases, one charging him for possessing an explosive device and the other for possessing CSAM. These cases arose from St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives receiving information indicating that Williams possessed child pornography. After they obtained a search warrant for Williams’ smartphone, detectives then learned that Williams possessed an explosive device, which they recovered from his residence after securing another search warrant. Williams faces up to 10 years in prison for each charge. These matters are being investigated by the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office, and are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John W. Nickel with assistance from Paralegal Specialist Joanne Henry-Mills. The case numbers are 26-CR-00152 and 26-CR-00153.
