Project Ghostbusters: Facebook Accused of Using Your Phone to Wiretap Snapchat
Unsealed court filings reveal Meta's secret plan, "Project Ghostbusters," to acquire valuable intel about Snapchat through its users' devices.

I’ve been following the Social Media Sameness Singularity since 2016.
It’s sometimes also corporate espionage!

Exit Ripple Effects: Understanding the Disruption of Socialization Networks Following Employee Departures
Amidst growing uncertainty and frequent restructurings, the impacts of employee exits are becoming one of the central concerns for organizations. Using rich communication data from a large holding company, we examine the effects of employee departures on socialization networks among the remaining coworkers. Specifically, we investigate how network metrics change among people who historically interacted with departing employees. We find evidence of ``breakdown" in communication among the remaini…

Twistor Hecke eigensheaves in genus 2
Following the strategy outlined in [DP09] arXiv:math/0604617 and [DP22] arXiv:math/0604617 for bundles of rank 2 on a smooth projective curve of genus $2$, we construct flat connections over the moduli of stable bundles, with singularities along the wobbly locus. We verify that the associated $D$-modules are Hecke eigensheaves. The local systems are constructed by the nonabelian Hodge correspondence from Higgs bundles. The spectral varieties of the Higgs bundles are the Hitchin fibers correspon…

216. United States v. Apple (Complaint)
March 21, 2024 the United States filed an antitrust complaint against Apple. The filing is a new approach to antitrust and hinges on mostly how Apple chose to design the iPhone from the very start.
