Newly unsealed court documents from an ongoing class action lawsuit against Meta show that in 2016, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally directed executives to “figure out” how to track encrypted usage on competing apps like Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon.
TechCrunch reports that in a June 2016 email, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed frustration with the lack of analytics on Snapchat, writing, “Whenever someone asks a question about Snapchat, the answer is usually that because their traffic is encrypted we have no analytics about them. Given how quickly they’re growing, it seems important to figure out a new way to get reliable analytics about them. Perhaps we need to do panels or write custom software. You should figure out how to do this.”

😆Less than 24 hours after getting hit with a partial gag order in the New York criminal case involving his alleged falsification of business records, former President Donald Trump repeatedly lashed out at one person who's not covered by the ruling — the judge.
In a series of posts on his social media platform, Trump called Judge Juan Merchan "biased and conflicted" while also taking aim at the judge's daughter for a second day in a row.
In a ruling Tuesday, Merchan noted the impending April 15 trial date and said Trump must "refrain" from “making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation” in the case, as well as about individual prosecutors and court staff and their family members.

Fetterman charts a different path, breaks with fellow Democrats in the Senate
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., cuts a different figure in the U.S. Senate.
And we’re not referring to his hulking, 6-foot-7, nose tackle frame. Or Fetterman’s signature, ever-present hoodie.
We’re talking about Fetterman crafting a distinct image in the Senate. Not a "progressive," as most voters thought. A Democrat who is willing to endorse most of H.R. 2, the House’s strict border control bill. A Democrat who opposes the left wing of his party when it comes to Israel and Hamas. And a senator who, unlike most of his Democratic colleagues, skewers indicted Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. – in the most frank terms.
Fox News had the chance to sit down with Fetterman for an interview. The exchange has been lightly edited for context and clarity.

🔥Rubio calls for federal investigation into Planned Parenthood over alleged fetal tissue exchange
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is asking for a federal investigation into whether a Planned Parenthood chapter illegally provided human fetal tissue to a university for research.
“Not only was Planned Parenthood providing the aborted fetal tissue in exchange for ‘valuable consideration,’ emails between the groups show that Planned Parenthood and [the University of California San Diego] actively collaborated and met at regular intervals to discuss the progress of the research," the Florida lawmaker said in a letter Tuesday.

Border Patrol union prez’s warning: Biden deflating border numbers, mass amnesty coming
The Biden administration is flying migrants into the US “so that the border doesn’t look as out of control,” the head of the Border Patrol union tells The Post in an exclusive interview — adding that he expects an “amnesty program in the future” to accommodate the millions who have come into the country since the president took office in January 2021.
“It’s just a bait and switch,” National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd said on the phone from Texas. “They’re just paroling people in through airports rather than having them come across the border.”
“They’re just gonna keep the numbers at around 5,000 [border crossings per day], parole people in and say, ‘Oh, look, we cut our numbers down,’” Judd added, saying even that figure was an “astronomical high” compared with the Donald Trump and Barack Obama administrations.

A leading witness in the 2019 impeachment inquiry of then-President Donald Trump registered as a foreign agent representing Ukraine and the European Union (E.U.) on Thursday.
Gordon Sondland served as the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union from 2018 to 2020 and testified against Trump before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Intelligence in 2019, claiming that Trump sought to withhold foreign military aid to Ukraine unless it launched an investigation into then-former Vice President Joe Biden regarding his son’s business dealings in the country; Biden was running against Trump for the presidency at the time of the impeachment hearing. Sondland filed a registration statement with the U.S. Department of Justice, declaring himself a foreign agent of Ukraine and the E.U. in order to legally represent their interests in the country, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Earth’s changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second.
For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to. Clocks may have to skip a second — called a “negative leap second” — around 2029, a study in the journal Nature said Wednesday.
“This is an unprecedented situation and a big deal,” said study lead author Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. “It’s not a huge change in the Earth’s rotation that’s going to lead to some catastrophe or anything, but it is something notable. It’s yet another indication that we’re in a very unusual time.”
