The reprieve for TikTok, which may prove temporary, is reminiscent of Congress's earlier efforts to regulate social media such as Meta Platforms Inc's Facebook, which foundered on indecision and partisan divisions over the nature of the perceived problem and how to solve it. — AP Dire warnings about TikTok dominated conversations on Capitol Hill earlier this year, with both Republicans and Democrats describing the Chinese-owned app as one of the gravest national security threats to the US. But the congressional concern has quieted down in the months since a contentious March hearing with TikTok Chief Executive Officer Shou Chew.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday accused Meta's Facebook of misleading parents about protections for children and proposed tightening an existing agreement on privacy to include a ban on making money from minors' data. Specifically, the FTC said Facebook misled parents about how much control they had over who their children had contact with in the Messenger Kids app and was deceptive about how much access app developers had to users' private data, breaching a 2019 agreement on privacy.

MUNICH, Germany and TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Electric vehicle (EV) drivers want a simple and seamless charging experience: drive up, plug in and charging that starts automatically, without having to open an app, tap an RFID tag or use a charge card. Implementing the ISO 15118-based Plug&Charge technology makes this seamless experience a reality, as the three EV industry collaborators will demonstrate at the Intercharge Network Conference (ICNC23) in Berlin:When the EV driver plugs the vehicle into the charge point, the EV identifies itself to the charging station, allowing for instant authorization and the initiation of charging.

Early in February, the island of Matsu's two cables linking it to Taiwan were cut: first by a fishing vessel, then by a cargo ship. The island is the closest outpost of Taiwan to the Chinese mainland. Excused as 'accidents,' the incidents coincided with increasing tensions as the rhetoric emanating from Beijing against Taipei and Washington escalated and underlined the vulnerability of global internet traffic to disruption. This has been an increasing source of concern since January 2022, when the Svalbard Undersea Cable System which links mainland Norway and the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean was cut: Suspicions fell on Russia, which had been complaining that a Svalbard-based satellite facility was tracking its submarines.

KUALA LUMPUR: Gold price should extend its movement towards the US$2,050 per ounce level, after breaking past the psychological resistance of US$2,000. This would be followed by the US$2,100 mark in the near term, some analysts said. They said gold might close above US$2,000 for the third time on a daily basis this week as the strength in the yellow metal was backed by multiple factors. This included the overall weak US Dollar Index as well as turmoil in the banking sector and potential end of monetary policy tightening by the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Reserve Bank of Australia.
