Facebook’s Nextdoor-clone Neighborhoods is coming soon to four US cities

It’s already available across Canada

Facebook, which never saw a social network it couldn’t copy, says its Nextdoor-clone Neighborhoods is now available across Canada and is coming soon to four US cities. According to CNET, the US locations being targeted are Charlotte, North Carolina; San Diego, California; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Newark, New Jersey.

Like Nextdoor, Neighborhoods is all about corralling geographically-defined groups of users into a single space to discuss local goings-on. Facebook says users should be able to get to know neighbors, ask for recommendations for the best coffee shops or locksmiths, and organize local events. Users can also create splinter groups specific to their interests.

Paragon Graphite is a Pegasus spyware clone used in the US –

The US government banned the use of NSO’s Pegasus spyware 18 months ago, but a new report today says that at least one government agency is using very similar malware from a rival company: Paragon Graphite.

According to four [industry figures], the US Drug Enforcement and Administration Agency is among the top customers for Paragon’s signature product nicknamed Graphite.

The #malware surreptitiously pierces the protections of modern smartphones and evades the encryption of messaging apps like #Signal or #WhatsApp, sometimes harvesting the data from cloud backups – much like Pegasus does.
