AI shenanigans

Figma hit the brakes on its new AI feature “Make Design” after accusations of training on existing apps, notably mimicking Apple’s Weather app.

Meanwhile, YouTube quietly introduced a policy allowing takedown requests for AI-generated content that simulates faces or voices, shifting its stance on deepfakes from content moderation to privacy concerns.

Social media shuffle

A fresh face in the social media arena, noplace, has surged to the top of the App Store. This Gen Z-focused app blends Myspace’s customizable charm Twitter’s real-time updates, offering a unique space for self-expression.

Users can personalize colorful profiles, share current activities, and connect through shared interests.

Breaches, bots, and bankrupt EVs

Roll20, the popular online gaming platform, suffered a data breach exposing users’ personal information.

Cloudflare launched a free tool to combat AI bots scraping websites. In the EV world, Fisker’s bankruptcy saga continues they seek approval to sell their remaining Ocean SUVs at a fraction of their original price.

These events underscore the ongoing challenges in digital security and the volatile nature of the tech industry.
