Muse escapes containment
We've got a big constitutionality ruling on Flock, a scoop about a major fire Meta needed to put out pre-Muse launch, and a lot more from trawling the World Wide Web.

On Meta’s end, each individual Muse instance runs on a kernel-based virtual machine, which connects to, but is supposed to be isolated from, Meta’s own critical infrastructure.
