WhatsApp will now let you edit your messages 

There are some restrictions though - it has to be done in the first 15 minutes of sending it. It can only be edited once. It'll show as edited, but won't have a way to see the previous message. So good news, if you edit it before your recipient reads it, they'll never know what you said originally. 

To do it, long press on the message and select edit. 

 

Neuralink: Elon Musk's brain chip firm wins US approval for human study 

 Elon Musk's brain-chip firm says it has received approval from the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) to conduct its first tests on humans. 

The Neuralink implant company wants to help restore vision and mobility to people by linking brains to computers. It says it does not have immediate plans to start recruiting participants. Mr Musk's previous ambitions to begin tests came to nothing.  

The FDA said it acknowledged Neuralink's announcement. 

An earlier bid by Neuralink to win FDA approval was rejected on safety grounds, according to a report in March by the Reuters news agency that cited multiple current and former employees. 

 

TikTok is suing Montana 

TikTok has filed suit too claiming the law is “unconstitutionally shutting down the forum for speech for all speakers on the app”. They say it's a violation of the first amendment, and an overreach of the powers afforded to the states. A group of content creators agree, and are also suing the state claiming it violates the First Amendment. 

The law bans the app from the App Stores, but also prevents the operation of TikTok in Montana. Users though will not be liable for penalties. 

TikTok's CEO said this week Oracle has begun to review the TikTok source code to verify data isn't leaving the US and can only be viewed by authorized parties (eg. not China's government). It's part of 'Project Texas' which has Oracle host all the user data for US users. The law will come into effect in 2024.
