The Privacy Crackdown & Tech Turbulence of 2026 | patelritiq @patelritiq Tech Highlights Privacy Alert March 2026 · Fortnight Recap The Privacy Rollback & Tech Turbulence of Early 2026 Meta is pulling encryption off Instagram, the AI layoff wave is here in force, and Nvidia is worth more than the GDP of most countries.
