How does Google interpret JS redirects?
👉🏻 It indexes the start page
👉🏻 It doesn't index the destination page
👉🏻 It sees redirect as a DOM update and uses the content of the destination page

I'm checking a slowdown in AMP pages.
Checking with Lighthouse the main trouble seems to be the same AMP network.

Can you check your websites?

Google Discover Bug: something seems to have changed and in GA4 I can see an increment of (not set) traffic. As you know unfortunately GSC has some days of delay and Discover isn't trackable on GA!

#WhatsApp has a big bug that has led a bad joke.

If an asshole can access to your WhatsApp, it can set up the two-step verification with PIN and insert a random email.

WhatsApp doesn't use a double opt-in verification before setting the pin. If this happens, you can't recover your account, at the most to wait 7 days!

One (user) solution to prevent that maybe to set by yourself the two-step verification.
