Facebook surrenders to the “reel” and other technological news of the week

The decision, shared in Meta For Creators, the official space for content creators, seeks to “simplify the publication process, consolidate editing and unify performance metrics”, so that the “reels” will appear both in the “feed” and in the tab called “videos” and can be recommended to new audiences.

With this adjustment, goal is committed to expanding the visibility of videos under the logic that “he who does not show, does not sell”, reaffirming his intention to position the “reels” as their star format.

Digital coup in Brazil

A company that connects financial entities with the Central Bank of Brazil was the target of a cyber attack that allowed improper access to reserve accounts of six institutions, including BMP, as confirmed by the issuing entity itself.
