Oh Boy! A more modern look and feel! Don't worry, Beta-Testing a resounding success. Passed with flying colors. No glitches. No redesigns that impact the current simplicity of it.
If you dislike the changes, will they allow you to revert to the legacy mode?

MarketWatch: Facebook tops Amazon and Google in 2Q lobbying spending.It’s promoted as a ‘safe kids’ chat app’, but new findings may put you off letting your children use the Facebook Messenger Kids app.
A design flaw has been discovered within the app, that allowed thousands of children to chat to strangers online.
A report by The Verge revealed that Facebook has quietly been closing down these group chats and alerting users, but did not make a public statement about the issue.

...the flaw meant that children could be added to group chats with strangers, as long as one of their trusted contacts had added them.
Facebook Inc. shelled out $4.1 million on lobbying Washington in the second quarter, topping the outlays by other so-called FAANG companies and keeping the tech giant on pace for another record year of spending to influence lawmakers and regulators.
[.]
Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -1.00% wasn’t far behind with $4 million[.]
[.]
Google business spent $2.9 million from April through June[.]
[.]
Netflix Inc.,...spent a relatively modest $200,000.
Make sure to read the whole News Target story....it can’t be emphasized enough that the very same fake news outlets and tech monopolies that have been screaming “Russian collusion!” nonstop for the past three years are now the ones actively colluding with each other to try to steal the next election from President Trump, as well as silence all online free speech.

...there’s a war being waged against the First Amendment, as the tech overlords crack down on all independent thought in the name of fighting “hate speech” and “offensive” content. Ironically, these entities claim to be fighting “fascism,” while they themselves employ fascist tactics in an effort to silence all deviating thoughts and beliefs.
“The very existence of Google is incompatible with free society,” warns Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, about where all of this is headed. “Google must be shut down and permanently removed from society. Its engineers should be arrested, indicted and imprisoned for life to prevent them from repeating their evil schemes against humanity.”
A new study by researchers at Northwestern University “presents an algorithm audit of the Google Top Stories box,” examining the results’ variety and ideological leanings, the Daily Mail reports. The researchers looked at the 6,302 articles that appeared in Google’s Top Stories box in November 2017, and found that CNN had the largest percentage of articles at 10%, followed by the New York Times at 6.5% and the Washington Post at 5.6%. From there, Fox News was fourth at just 3%.This new Northwestern University pdf is located here. If the direct link to the pdf goes glitchy, here's the link to the ACM Digital Library and after "Full Text" select either HTML or PDF version for the study.
The rest of the top twenty sources were all left-leaning organizations or publications, such as Politico, NPR, ABC News, NBC News, and the Huffington Post. No openly conservative news publisher, such as the Daily Caller, made the list.

The findings are only the latest revelations to undermine Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s repeated insistence that the company’s ubiquitous services are ideologically neutral. In April, documents revealed that Google manually manipulates search results and even maintains a blcaklist of conservative sites including The American Spectator and Conservative Tribune.
A leaked video of Google’s internal “all hands meeting” following the 2016 presidential election shows the tech giant’s leadership mourning the outcome, inviting hugs of comfort all around, and vowing efforts correct misinformation [sic] on the Internet that could have contributed to the success of Donald Trump and the rising populist movement worldwide.
