While it was President Joe Biden who signed the law that would force ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or face a ban, it’s his successor, Donald Trump, who has yet to fulfill his promise of arranging a deal to keep TikTok running, legally, in the United States. The current deadline for a deal is September 17th. Still, it hasn’t stopped Trump’s administration from creating @WhiteHouse on TikTok, which published its first post on Tuesday night: a video celebrating Trump’s accomplishments. The

Scientists Created an Entire Social Network Where Every User Is a Bot, and Something Wild Happened

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-20 06:36:33

It's no secret that social media has devolved into a toxic cesspool of disinformation and hate speech. Without any meaningful pressure to come up with effective guardrails and enforceable policies, social media platforms quickly turned into rage-filled and polarizing echo chambers with one purpose: to keep users hooked on outrage and brain rot so they can display more ads. And given the results of a recent experiment by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, they may be doomed to stay tha

Unsealed Apple Pay ruling explains Fintiv’s Texas retreat and weakens new Georgia case

A newly unsealed opinion shows why Apple had little patience for Fintiv’s long-running claims in Texas. As it turns out, after seven years of litigation, Fintiv still could not point to any evidence that Apple Pay or Apple Wallet ever used the kind of “widget” described in its patent. That finding explains the company’s abrupt retreat in Texas and bodes poorly for its latest attempt to profit off Apple Pay in Georgia.
