You can now get more control over who tags you in future tweets. Twitter has announced it's started rolling out its "unmention" feature to all devices. Unmention allows you to untag yourself from a tweet. It'll unlink your handle from a tweet and prevent your username from being tagged in future replies.
The feature is designed to stop "unwanted attention" on the platform from overtaking your experience. Twitter wants to eliminate some of the toxic behaviours exhibited on its platform.

It took a long time, but Meta has finally decided that you can decouple your Oculus VR headset from your Facebook account. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced it'll offer a new Meta account instead for new and existing users starting August. If you are still signing into your VR headset with an Oculus account, you'll have to ditch that before January 1, 2023.
Meta emphasizes that the Meta account isn't a social media profile per se. Instead, it "lets you log into your VR devices and view and manage your purchased apps in one place." There is still a social aspect integrated into this, though. Your Oculus profile will be replaced by a Meta Horizon profile that you'll set up. It comes with a username, photo and avatar.
