Meta has agreed to pay $725 million to settle a privacy lawsuit that accused Facebook of illegally sharing user data with a political consulting firm.
The settlement is "the largest recovery ever achieved in a data privacy class action and the most Facebook has ever paid to resolve a private class action," lawyers for the plaintiffs said in a court filing on Thursday.

Telegram's New Year update
The Beta versions of Telegram for Android, iOS and macOS have been updated with cool new features:
• Telegram's graphical editor for Android has undergone significant changes. It features new tools for drawing and text editing.
• Media Spoilers: Photos and videos can now be hidden under a spoiler in the same way as text.
• The Data & Memory section has improved cache management by category (e.g., media, files, music). Users can also set up automatic cache deletion in private messages, groups and channels.
• There is now an option to hide group members. When this feature is enabled, only non-anonymous group administrators will be shown in the list. However, the administrators themselves will still be able to see the full list.
• It is now possible to set a profile picture or video that can be seen by those who are not allowed to see the main avatar. In addition, the user may locally set an arbitrary avatar for any of their contacts: this avatar is only visible to the user who set it. You can also offer a picture or video from your address book to be set as your Telegram avatar.
• Other updates include an updated menu for creating contacts in Telegram for Android, the ability to generate QR codes for proxy servers, timecodes in audio files with descriptions on the timeline in Android, and an updated cloud-like counter opposite forums with unread topics. Android users will also notice new animations when clicking a link or navigating to a reply message.

Telegram has launched a feedback bot
Owners of group chats are reporting that they have started receiving messages from a verified "Feedback Bot" account. It offers group owners the option to include chat topics and asks for feedback on this feature.
The @tginfoen editorial team believes that Telegram is trying to establish a feedback channel with users and learn about new messenger innovations in this way.
Currently, it is not possible to find the Feedback Bot account and start a dialog with it - instead, it initiates the dialog on its own.

New Drawing and Text Tools
Telegram's already powerful media editor has been fully redesigned:
• Drawing tools dynamically change width based on drawing speed and automatically smooth your lines.
• There is a new blur tool to redact sensitive data (or photobombers) – and 5 high-precision ways to choose colors, including the Eyedropper tool.
• When adding text to photos or videos, you can now change its size, font, and background.
• Adding custom animated emoji to text on images is available for all users, even if they don't have a Telegram Premium subscription.
• To quickly add shapes like rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles, tap the “+” button.
• You can also hold the surface to fill the canvas with color – or to erase everything.
• In the coming updates, Telegram plans to further refine the media editor interfaces and improve their performance.

High resolution images in Telegram
A new option has been noticed in the Telegram Desktop source code that changes the kPhotoSideLimit parameter from 1280 to 2560.
This means that Telegram will soon allow the sending of images in higher resolution.
@tginfoen suggests that this change will also affect video in the future.
