Help Kartik (not the actual name), an Indian young queer student from Nagpur raise funds for his college studies. He's been kicked out of his abusive home and had spent nights in temples with nowhere to go. He works an entry-level job but it barely covers his rent. Affording transport with other necessities has been immensely hard on him. He currently has only two pairs of clothes and no stationery. He also has very little to eat, with his health deteriorating with time.
Goal: We are trying to raise 50000 Indian Rupees to help him get a bicycle, pay his college fees and afford meals.
This campaign is backed by Naz Foundation and New Delhi LGBTQIA+ Centre
Donate with #WithKartik in the note. More details in the attached image.

This article is The Register [1] reported that Meta's apps (specifically Facebook and Instagram) on Android devices were secretly opening network ports on users' phones as part of a "localhost tracking" technique to covertly link web browsing activity to user identities, bypassing standard privacy protections like incognito mode, VPNs, and cookie clearing. This practice was uncovered by security researchers in early June 2025 and had been ongoing since at least September 2024.
Whatever needed to enhance data collection for advertising purposes will be done. Privacy violations of users may not get a priority when it comes to profit driven digital surveillance. I don't think it has impacted the user base of Meta products. In India switching costs are high since WhatsApp is essential for daily life [2].
Till researchers find another violations again, it will be business as usual.
