Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has launched a new AI-powered feature for WhatsApp that summarizes unread messages.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Meta announced the new feature that leverages Meta AI to generate summaries of unread messages, which are visible only to the user, not anyone in the chat.&nbsp;
&#8220;Message Summaries uses Private Processing technology, which allows Meta AI to generate a response without Meta or WhatsApp ever seeing your messages or the private summaries,&#8221; the company said in a blog post.

The feature is optional and is turned off by default. Users will see a small icon indicating when the feature is available.
&nbsp;Users can enable or disable the function via Settings &gt; Chats &gt; Private Processing.
Meta has launched the feature first in the U.S. with English language support and it will be expanded to more countries and languages later this year.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Earlier this week, the U.S. House of Representatives reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46066338/whatsapp-blocked-on-us-house-devices-over-transparency-encryption-concerns-meta-app-deemed-high-risk-while-imessage-facetime-and-teams-get-green-light">banned WhatsApp from staff devices</a>, citing major cybersecurity concerns.
A memo from the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer flagged the app as a &#8220;high risk&#8221; due to its lack of data protection transparency and insufficient encryption. Staff are advised to use more secure alternatives like Signal, Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iMessage and FaceTime, Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Teams and Amazon.com, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Wickr.
Meta has pushed back against the decision, claiming WhatsApp offers stronger security than the recommended apps.
WhatsApp has also reportedly become a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46071029/mark-zuckerbergs-ai-dreams-hit-whatsapp-speed-bump-as-openai-perplexity-challenge-meta-on-its-own-turf-report">major battleground for AI chatbots</a>, with OpenAI and Perplexity joining Meta's own assistant in vying for user attention on the platform's 3 billion-strong user base.&nbsp;

In a landmark decision, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte announced plans to consider cryptocurrency as a mortgage asset on Wednesday, aligning with President Donald Trump&#8217;s vision of making the U.S. a global crypto hub.
What Happened: Pulte took to X, directing federally backed mortgage giants Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>)&nbsp;to prepare their businesses to&nbsp;count cryptocurrency as an asset&nbsp;for a mortgage. 
Pulte said the decision was undertaken after &#8220;significant studying&#8221; and in line with Trump&#8217;s vision of making America the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43836911/trump-reiterates-resolve-to-make-us-the-crypto-capital-critic-labels-idea-of-bitcoin-reserve-legislation-absurd">crypto capital of the world</a>.
The directive asked Fannie and Freddie to consider only those assets that can be stored on a U.S.-regulated cryptocurrency exchange, subject to applicable laws.
FHFA said that the new consideration could enable Fannie and Freddie to assess the full spectrum of assets available for reserves and facilitate &#8220;sustainable homeownership to creditworthy borrowers.&#8221;

Nasdaq Settles Higher As Nvidia, AMD Rally: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman launched a scathing attack on Sen.&nbsp;Chuck Schumer&nbsp;(D-N.Y.) on Wednesday over his endorsement of Zohran Mamdani, the progressive Democrat who won New York City&#8217;s mayoral primary. 
What Happened: The hedge fund manager denied reports he endorsed incumbent Eric Adams and suggested a new centrist candidate could emerge for November&#8217;s general election.
Ackman expressed &#8220;grave concern&#8221; about Mamdani&#8217;s victory, calling the 33-year-old state lawmaker an &#8220;avowed socialist&#8221; whose policies would be &#8220;disastrous for NYC.&#8221; The billionaire investor warned that Mamdani&#8217;s anti-business stance could trigger an exodus of wealthy taxpayers, potentially reducing city and state revenues by $5-10 billion from his industry alone.
&#8220;Socialism has no place in the economic capital of our country,&#8221; Ackman wrote on social media platform X. He compared potential economic flight to Ken Griffin&#8216;s move from Chicago to Miami, describing it as &#8220;on steroids.&#8221;

Ackman specifically criticized Schumer&#8217;s praise of Mamdani, calling it &#8220;pathetic&#8221; pandering driven by fears that Rep.&nbsp;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;(D-N.Y.)&nbsp; might challenge him. Schumer had lauded Mamdani&#8217;s &#8220;impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, &amp; opportunity.&#8221;

The hedge fund manager clarified reports suggesting he endorsed Adams, stating he &#8220;may ultimately support&#8221; the incumbent but has made no decision. Adams is running as an independent after corruption charges were dropped following Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087359/zohran-mamdani-leads-nyc-mayoral-primary-andrew-cuomo-concedes-race">administration intervention</a>.

Why It Matters: Despite his concerns, Ackman expressed optimism about potential alternatives. He indicated &#8220;hundreds of millions of dollars&#8221; in funding is available for a centrist candidate, with only 132 days until the election. The investor suggested former Mayor Michael Bloomberg could provide campaign infrastructure and expertise.
However, any alternative candidate would likely need to run as a write-in, since current ballot candidates cannot be replaced without established nominating committees.
Mamdani won the Democratic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087359/zohran-mamdani-leads-nyc-mayoral-primary-andrew-cuomo-concedes-race">primary with 43.5% of the votes</a>, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo&#8216;s 36.4%. The victory came despite over $25 million in outside spending supporting Cuomo from major donors, including Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone and Avenue Capital Group CEO Marc Lasry.
President Donald Trump criticized Mamdani&#8217;s victory on Truth Social, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass) and Sen.&nbsp;Bernie Sanders&nbsp;(I-VT) praised his grassroots campaign. The outcome represents a significant shift for America&#8217;s financial capital, with potential implications for business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107353/trump-says-democrats-have-crossed-the-line-with-zohran-mamdani-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-back-new-york-mayoral-candidates-grassroots-suppo">confidence and municipal bond markets</a>.
Final ranked-choice voting results are expected July 1, though Mamdani&#8217;s substantial lead makes his nomination likely. He would become New York&#8217;s first Muslim mayor if elected in November.

Walgreens, Micron Technology And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Reported Earlier, Mars And Kellanova Announce FTC Approval Of Acquisition, One Step Closer To Merging Snacking Portfolios

Major U.S. automakers, including General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) and more have criticized the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for impeding progress.
What Happened: Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a group representing the car manufacturers, criticized the agency in written testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives hearing, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
"Its fractured relationship with the industry, decades-old safety regulations, and lack of a clear strategic roadmap for emerging technologies are stifling innovation and threatening U.S. global leadership," Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO John Bozella wrote in the testimony, the report said.
The CEO called on the agency to repeal automatic emergency braking rules, which require a car to come to a halt from up to 62 miles per hour and avoid collision during emergencies.
Bozella also called on the regulator to ease fuel economy requirements and put in a federal regulatory framework for Autonomous Vehicles, which he said wasn't in place despite "years of dialogue."
Why It Matters: The news comes in as automakers have been pushing for a regulatory framework on autonomous driving at a federal level for a while. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk also sounded out calls for regulation for AVs federally <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45536915/transportation-secretary-sean-duffy-visits-elon-musks-tesla-gigafactory-in-austin-hints-at-possible-federal-autonomous-driving-regulations">during his meeting</a> with U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Duffy had also said that the U.S. Department of Transportation will be announcing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001024/trump-administration-announces-exemptions-for-autonomous-driving-companies-in-the-us-eases-self-driving-crash-report-requirements">exemptions to U.S. auto safety standards</a> for domestic manufacturers too. Previously, the exemptions only applied to imports.
Elsewhere, the NHTSA has said it will be easing some regulations for autonomous driving. NHTSA will be<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45942936/elon-musks-cybercab-ambitions-just-got-a-boost-as-nhtsa-eases-regulations-for-autonomous-vehicles"> providing exemptions</a> to U.S. Safety Standards "to facilitate automated driving systems technology reaching its full potential," it said in a statement.

Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), informed Android users via email on Wednesday that its AI, Gemini, will be granted access to personal apps, regardless of user consent. The rollout has raised significant privacy concerns.
What Happened: Google recently sent out an email with the subject line- "We've made it easier for Gemini to interact with your device," to some Android users, informing them that Gemini will now have access to their phone, messages, WhatsApp, and other utilities, regardless of whether the Gemini Apps Activity is on or off. This change, as per the email, will be implemented on July 7, Gizmodo <a href="https://gizmodo.com/google-to-gemini-users-were-going-to-look-at-your-texts-2000620141">reported</a>.
The email also states that if users do not wish to use these features, they can turn them off in the Apps settings page. However, the email does not specify where to find that page or what exactly will be disabled if users avail themselves of that setting option. When App Activity is enabled, Google stores information on Gemini usage, which may be reviewed by a human.
These changes have raised concerns among users about the protection of their privacy and the extent of AI access to personal information. Google&#8217;s decision to expand Gemini&#8217;s access to critical apps has sparked a debate about data collection and privacy in the age of AI integration.

Why It Matters: This development comes on the heels of Google&#8217;s aggressive new defense against internet scams, with the deployment of its on-device Gemini AI model<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45314987/google-deploys-on-device-gemini-ai-to-fight-online-scams-blocks-millions-of-fraud-pages-in-real-time"> to detect and block fraudulent websites in real-time</a>, significantly expanding its security capabilities across Chrome, Search, and Android operating systems.
Moreover, in May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45572996/apple-likely-to-open-llms-integrate-gemini-on-iphone-at-wwdc-analyst">Benzinga</a> reported that Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was likely to open LLMs and integrate Gemini on iPhone at WWDC, as per an analyst. This was seen as a significant step in the integration of AI into operating systems.
These <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/46079632/bofa-sees-155-billion-agentic-ai-boom-by-2030-spotlights-microsoft-salesforce-and-others">developments</a> are indicative of the increasing integration of AI into daily activities and the potential impact on user privacy.&nbsp;
Price Action: On Wednesday, Alphabet Class A shares closed 2.3% higher at $170.68, the shares rose nearly 0.4% in the after-hours trading. On the same day, the Class C shares rose 2.2% to $171.49. The Class C shares also gained 0.4% in the after-hours session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Alphabet Class A stock has a Momentum in the 25th percentile.
