This week on TechNomad, we explore three major stories shaping the future of technology, privacy, and the internet.

Meta is facing backlash after security researchers revealed that its AI-powered support chatbot may have allowed hackers to take over Instagram accounts. We break down how the exploit worked, why Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) mattered, and what users should do to stay safe.

We also discuss Meta's new paid subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Is this the beginning of the end for completely free social media, or just another premium feature rollout?

Finally, we look at the growing backlash against AI-powered search as users increasingly turn to DuckDuckGo after Google's latest AI search updates.

Plus, quick updates on:
• LinkedIn cracking down on AI-generated content
• Meta's upcoming AI wearable pendant
• YouTube's automatic AI-content labels
• The internet being redesigned for AI agents
• Meta's new Reddit-style community platform

Stay informed with the biggest tech stories of the week, explained in simple Tamil.

Smart Glasses Spy Scandal | Oscars Ban AI | Instagram Algorithm Shift | Ep 30

Your Ray-Ban glasses might be recording more than memories — and the people training Meta's AI were watching every second of it. This week we break down one of the most disturbing privacy stories of 2026, plus two more stories that show the tech world is finally starting to draw lines around what AI can and can't do.

We cover three stories that hit differently this week:

A Meta contractor in Kenya was fired after 1,108 workers blew the whistle on reviewing intimate footage captured through Ray-Ban smart glasses — sex, bathroom moments, banking screens — all to train AI. Meta's response? Cut the contract and call it a standards issue.

The Academy just banned AI-generated actors and AI-written scripts from Oscar eligibility. Hollywood drew a line. The question now is whether the rest of the creative world — including Bollywood and Kollywood — will follow.

Instagram quietly killed the copy-paste economy. Accounts that built millions of followers by reposting other people's content will no longer be recommended to new audiences. Original creators finally get their moment.

Plus quick briefs on Spotify's new human artist verification badge, DeepSeek V4's return, the Oppo-OnePlus-Realme mega merger, USB-C winning Europe, and Google Translate turning 20.

🎙️ TechNomad — Tamil tech news, every week. In Tamil. For us.

This week, we're not talking about launches and upgrades — we're talking about the moments big tech got it seriously wrong.

In this episode:

In our first story, we dig into one of the most disturbing AI failures in recent memory — ChatGPT flagged a user for violent content, banned the account, and then said nothing to authorities. Months later, 8 people were killed in a small Canadian town. OpenAI's CEO has now apologized. But is an apology enough?

Then we look at what Meta is doing inside its own offices — recording employee mouse movements, keystrokes, and screen activity to train AI models. The same AI that may eventually replace those very employees. What does this mean for the future of work — and for all of us?

And finally, the end of an era. Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple CEO after 14 years. We look at what he built, what he missed, and whether his successor John Ternus can take Apple into its next chapter.
