Meta in row after workers who say they saw smart glasses users having sex lose jobs

Meta is under pressure to explain why it cancelled a major contract with a company it was using to train AI, shortly after some of its Kenya-based workers alleged they had to view graphic content captured by Meta smart glasses. In February, workers at the company, Sama, told two Swedish newspapers they had witnessed glasses users going to the toilet, and having sex. Less than two months later, Meta ended its contract with Sama, which Sama said would result in 1,108 workers being made redundant.

A financial crisis may be coming - it won't be like last time

In 2007, investments in risky US mortgages went sour as homeowners struggled to pay. Funds run by Bear Stearns, BNP Paribas and other banks either had to freeze the ability of investors to take out their money, or liquidate the funds completely. These problems were the canaries in what proved to be a very deep financial coal mine. As nervousness spread, even banks eventually stopped lending to each other for fear of not getting their money back, creating a so-called “credit crunch”. That caused a global financial crisis. Fast forward to today. Several funds which lend money have declared losses or restricted investors’ ability to take out their money. BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo and Blue Owl have all faced demands for billions of withdrawals from private credit funds - institutions that provide an alternative to traditional banks.

Activists break into Leicester factory owned by Israeli firm Elbit Systems

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/46389822 April 24, 2026 According to media group The Aftershock, the activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises. After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and subsequently abseiled into the building. The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months. One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this genocide that Israel is committing on the Palestinian people."
