Google must adapt its ad business to open space for competitors
Google sidestepped a breakup of its ad business, but the judge's ruling makes one thing clear: the status quo is over. The company will now need to adjust how it operates, opening space for competitors to actually compete. That's a meaningful shift, not a cosmetic one. For anyone tracking AI-native infrastructure, the momentum is similar across the board. If you're exploring how technology is reshaping data management, our piece on Nscale's $3.36B push into AI-native spreadsheet infrastructure offers a useful parallel.
U.S. courts will now share how often spyware is authorized.
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts confirmed to TechCrunch that it will begin publishing how often judges authorize spyware for wiretapping suspected criminals. That is a meaningful step toward transparency, and it arrives as broader questions about digital surveillance and data privacy dominate the conversation. We have covered related concerns before, including how AI agents shared user images in OpenAI's research environment, a reminder that oversight often lags behind technological reach.
New Mexico court adds $567M to Meta's child safety penalty
A $567 million addition to Meta's tab in New Mexico is a serious message, not just a penalty. The state's court system has now pushed the company's total liability to $942 million in this child safety case, and that scale demands attention. We see this as a firm push for accountability, and it's a story worth following closely. For more on Meta's recent moves, our piece on the company reversing course on ads for the Musk documentary offers useful context.
