The email also said that its servers run the JavaScript to vet it for security. Mysk, however, said that the video demonstrates that Instagram downloaded a 2.6GB file (an Ubuntu ISO with the file renamed to ubuntu.png) in its entirety. He also noted that most other messengers strip out JavaScript rather than downloading it and running it on their servers. https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/link-preview-comparison.jpg https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/link-...
