In a blog post, Meta informed that beginning next month, the advertisers will only get their hands over the age and location data of teens globally.
“Beginning in February, advertisers will only be able to use age and location to reach teens; we are removing gender as a targeting option.”
Weisselberg, one of Donald Trump’s most trusted aides was the star prosecution witness in the case. He is expected to be lodged in New York’s notorious Rikers Island jail which is known for extreme violence, drugs and corruption. 19 inmates died last year as the prison is scheduled to close in 2027.
Pell is Australia’s highest ranking Catholic cleric, and the most senior Church figure ever jailed for such offences.
Fr. Joseph Hamilton told Reuters that Pell died in a Rome hospital on Tuesday night. Church officials said Pell died from heart complications following a hip surgery.
