In Gizmodo's March Madness bracket challenge to determine the greatest app of all time, Twitter won against Read It Later with 52% of the vote. The contest for today features two unique apps: SwiftKey and Telegram. SwiftKey, known for its predictive text and machine learning capabilities, was once an advantage for Android users over the iPhone but lost its edge when Apple integrated similar features. Telegram, a secure messaging platform with over 800 million monthly active users, offers a hybrid messenger and social network experience, but faces controversy due to its lack of content moderation.

Users are misusing Meta's new AI-generated stickers feature on Facebook Messenger, creating and sharing awkward images of copyright-protected characters. Artists have posted viral series of virtual stickers, including depictions of Mickey Mouse with a machine gun, the flaming Twin Towers, and Elmo brandishing a knife. While Meta has implemented filters to catch potentially offensive content, some combinations are slipping through. This highlights the challenges faced by moderation teams as AI-powered apps become more prevalent.
