Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has failed to reverse a preliminary injunction currently blocking him from probing Media Matters for America (MMFA) in defense of Elon Musk's social media platform X. On Friday, a US appeals court upheld the injunction. In his opinion, senior Circuit Judge Harry T.

Epic Games Apple has blocked Epic’s submission of Fortnite to the U.S. Apple App Store and the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. “Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it,” Epic Games said in a tweet. Epic Games had hoped that it would be able to return its game, which has been off iOS since Epic sued Apple for antitrust violations in 2021. A new law in the EU is expected to force Apple to comply at some point, and a recent ruling in the U.S.

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is pissed off at Apple. Really, really pissed off. In Rogers’ newly released 80-page decision, she took Apple and its executives to task for defying the court’s orders in its original case with Fortnite maker Epic Games. Though Apple largely won that round, as it was determined the tech giant was not a monopolist, the court decided that Apple was behaving in an anticompetitive fashion in one specific area: by not allowing app developers to offer their customers othe
