The ongoing Indian Premier League season 10 has reached new heights with a cumulative reach of 185.7 million viewers in just three matches.

With an average time-spent (TS) of 72 minutes per viewer, it reaches an all-time high.
Due to dynamic changes in the measurement system while last year's performance may not be strictly comparable, but to put it in context, the first three matches of 2016 got a cumulative reach of 160.7 million with an average time-spent of 46 minutes.

This landmark year of IPL has made an incredible impact in its first week making its mark yet again.

Instagram removes DM encryption from today: What users should do to stay safe

Highlights

  • Instagram switches off end-to-end encryption just before federal deepfake law enforcement begins.
  • Meta can now read private messages it previously could not access.
  • Privacy experts warn against storing downloaded chats in Google Drive or iCloud.
Instagram is removing a privacy feature from May 8 that previously stopped the company from accessing the content of users’ direct messages.
The change comes just days before a new US federal law requires platforms to scan and remove harmful content.
The change affects users who turned on Instagram's end-to-end encryption option for direct messages.
Most Instagram users never switched on this feature, according to digital privacy expert Harry Maugans. For the small number who did, the protection ends on May 8.

End-to-end encryption works like a sealed envelope. The platform can see who sent a message and who received it, but cannot open it to read what is inside.

When Instagram removes this feature, it effectively removes the privacy layer that kept messages hidden. As a result, Meta would be able to access the content of those messages.
