Registration opened this week for Facebook’s F8 developer conference, which will be held on March 25 and 26 in San Francisco. And, this year, the social giant is going all out, Facebook’s Director Of Platform Deb Liu tells TechCrunch. “One of the biggest changes about this F8 is that we’re going to include all the properties: Facebook, Oculus, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp,” Liu said. Developers can now apply for $495 tickets, though the entire event will free to livestream. 

Facebook reportedly blocked Turkish users’ access to pages featuring content that authorities deemed insulting to the Prophet Muhammad. “The company acted to comply with an order from a Turkish court,” The New York Times reports, citing an anonymous Facebook employee, and a report by the state broadcaster TRT. “Turkey’s Islamist government has not hesitated to temporarily cut off access to services like Twitter and YouTube for various political reasons.” 

In the wake of hackers seizing the social media accounts of U.S. Central Command, Buzzfeed explains why the breach was only a matter of time. Regarding the roughly 5,000 social media accounts operated by the federal government, it writes: “The security for these accounts is operated by employees from disparate agencies that essentially run them as they see fit.” What’s more, “There is no government-wide requirement that users use two-step verification to protect their accounts.” 

At least by tech industry standards, Facebook is putting people to work at an impressive rate. Facebook’s Seattle office, for one, now employees 400 staffers, and, as GeekWire reports, “it’s showing no signs of slowing down.” Just this week, “Facebook expanded onto a fourth floor inside its Seattle building, and the company plans to take occupancy of another two floors next month, effectively doubling the space in what is already Facebook’s largest engineering outpost outside of its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters.” 

The Wall Street Journal checks in with MySpace, and finds a pretty healthy business. Thanks to young music enthusiasts and the popularity of “Throwback Thursday,” the once-reigning social network currently attracts about 50 million monthly active users, WSJ reports. What’s more, MySpace users generated over 300 million video views in November, which earned it a rank of 16th place on comScore’s Video Metrix ranking.

Instagram was unintentionally leaving users vulnerable to unwanted privacy breaches, according to Quartz. “A privacy hole was publicly exposing an untold number of photographs Instagram users believed were private, until Instagram fixed it this weekend in apparent response to queries by Quartz,” it reports. “Tests by Quartz had showed that a photograph posted to Instagram when a user’s account is set to public -- the default setting -- would remain publicly viewable on the Web, even if the user made her account private.”  

Twitter has returned Bing Translator to TweetDeck, so users can see quick and dirty translations of foreign language tweets. “Twitter has been experimenting with Bing translations since July 2013 and briefly rolled it out to its iOS and Android apps in advance of the 2014 FIFA World Cup,” Marketing Land reports. “But in August it pulled back, removing translations from all its platforms.” 

Facebook is totally dead to teens but they couldn’t imagine not have having a Facebook account. That’s according to “an actual teen,” a.k.a., 19-year-old Andrew Watts. “It’s weird and can even be annoying to have Facebook at times,” Watts writes in on Medium. “That being said, if you don't have Facebook, that’s even more weird and annoying.” By contrast, “Instagram is by far the most used social media outlet for my age group,” Watts writes. “Although the most people are on Facebook, we actually post stuff on Instagram.”
