Dua Lipa Files $15m Lawsuit Against Samsung

Pop star Dua Lipa has filed a lawsuit against Samsung, accusing the technology giant of using her image on television packaging in the United States without authorization. The complaint, filed in a California federal court, seeks $15m (£11m) in damages and alleges copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unlawful use of the singer’s likeness. According to court documents, Samsung allegedly displayed a photograph of Dua Lipa’s face on packaging for several television models sold across the US. The singer’s legal team claims the company attempted to benefit commercially from her popularity and public image to boost product sales. The disputed image was reportedly taken during Dua Lipa’s performance at the 2024 Austin City Limits Festival, with the lawsuit stating that the singer owns the copyright to the photograph. Legal filings indicate that Dua Lipa became aware of the issue in June […]

Meta to cut 8,000 jobs amid AI push

Meta is preparing a major round of layoffs, with thousands of employees expected to lose their jobs next month as the company ramps up investment in artificial intelligence (AI). According to an internal memo shared with staff, the tech giant plans to cut about 10% of its workforce, representing roughly 8,000 positions. In addition, the company will halt recruitment for several thousand open roles, further reducing its overall headcount. This restructuring is largely driven by a sharp increase in spending on AI. Meta is expected to allocate around $135 billion to AI projects this year alone, an amount comparable to its total investment in the field over the past three years combined. The shift reflects the company’s ambition to accelerate development of advanced AI systems and remain competitive in the sector. The announcement follows earlier signals from CEO Mark Zuckerberg, […]

Apple at 50: Hits and Misses in Tech

Few companies have shaped everyday technology as profoundly as Apple. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the company has grown from a small garage startup founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak into one of the most influential brands in the world. Today, Apple products are used by billions globally. Analysts say this success is driven not only by innovation but also by branding. The company positioned its devices as lifestyle products, creating an emotional connection with users. While Apple continues to thrive under CEO Tim Cook, some observers believe the pace of groundbreaking innovation has slowed since the death of Steve Jobs. Instead, the company has focused more on refining its existing product ecosystem. Major successes One of Apple’s earliest breakthroughs was the iPod, launched in 2001. It transformed how people listened to music by simplifying digital storage and introducing seamless […]

UK trials social media limits for teens

The UK government is set to test new ways of limiting teenagers’ use of social media, as concerns grow over its impact on young people’s wellbeing. Under the pilot scheme, around 300 teenagers will take part in trials designed to assess different restrictions on app usage. The initiative, led by Liz Kendall, aims to gather real-world evidence before deciding on potential nationwide measures. Participants will be divided into four groups. One group will have social media apps completely blocked, effectively simulating a full ban. Two others will face partial restrictions—either a daily usage cap of one hour or a night-time block between 9pm and 7am. A fourth group will act as a control, continuing normal usage. The trial will evaluate how these measures affect teenagers’ daily lives, including sleep, school performance and family interactions. Parents and children involved will also […]

US trial targets social media over child mental health

A high-profile court case has opened in California, putting major social media platforms under scrutiny over claims that their products negatively affect the mental health of children and teenagers. The trial, taking place at the Los Angeles Superior Court, focuses on allegations against Instagram and YouTube, accused of deliberately designing features that encourage excessive use among young users. The case was brought by a plaintiff identified as K.G.M., whose identity is protected because the alleged harm occurred while she was a minor. In his opening statement, the plaintiff’s lawyer told the jury that the platforms were intentionally engineered to keep children engaged for as long as possible. He argued that design choices such as algorithms, notifications and autoplay functions were created with the goal of maximizing user attention, without sufficient consideration for the psychological risks to young people. According to […]

Ofcom probes X over Grok’s sexualised images

Ofcom has opened a formal probe into X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, amid concerns that its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok is being used to generate and distribute sexualised and illegal images. The UK communications regulator said it had received “deeply troubling reports” that Grok was being used to create images showing people undressed without their consent, as well as sexualised images involving children. Such material is illegal under UK law. According to the regulator, if X is found to have breached its legal obligations, it could face a fine of up to £18 million or 10% of its global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Ofcom also has the power to ask a court to order UK internet providers to block access to X if the company fails to comply. The BBC has contacted X for a […]

UK criticises X over paid Grok image edits

The UK government has sharply criticised Elon Musk’s social media platform X for restricting Grok AI image-editing tools to paying users, saying the move shows a lack of respect for victims of misogyny and sexual violence. Downing Street said the decision effectively turns a tool that has been used to create illegal and abusive images into a paid service, rather than addressing the harm it has caused. The comments follow widespread anger after Grok was found to be digitally altering photos of people, often women, by removing their clothing without consent. Government officials noted that while the feature is now blocked for free users on X, it remains available through Grok’s separate app and website. The prime minister’s spokesperson said the change proved the company could act quickly when it chose to, but insisted stronger action was still required. Sir […]
