What could Meta’s US settlement mean around the world – and what now for other claims against firm?

Other governments could seek similar concessions, while separate legal action is pending in places ranging from Kenya to the Netherlands In October 2021, Abrham Meareg’s father, a professor of chemistry in Ethiopia’s northern town of Bahir Dar, was shot at close range and died outside his family home. This was in the middle of the country’s civil war. For weeks, Facebook’s algorithm had actively promoted posts calling for the academic to be murdered, according to Meareg and Foxglove, a nonprofit organisation supporting Meareg’s lawsuit against the company in Kenya. These posts included photos…

Le canal de Suez, ou comment l’Egypte a fait d’un symbole d’exploitation l’instrument de son émancipation

« Suez, canal historique » (5/6). Un parfum de fronde imprègne l’axe maritime. C’est une révolte à Ismaïlia, l’une des villes du canal, qui a entraîné la fondation de la République égyptienne en 1952, mettant fin à une monarchie inféodée à Londres. Et c’est en nationalisant la voie d’eau, en 1956, et en la défendant contre les assauts français, britanniques et israéliens que le pays a construit sa légitimité internationale.

The path to America is narrowing. Here’s what that means for legal immigrants

Elon Musk enterró Twitter por X. Una startup ha lanzado otra red social con ese nombre y se juega todo en los tribunales

Twitter dejó de llamarse Twitter hace tres años , pero el nombre se resiste a desaparecer. Basta con escribir twitter.com en el navegador para acabar en X, y palabras como tuit siguen formando parte del lenguaje con el que muchos describimos lo que ocurre allí. Elon Musk pudo cambiar el nombre , el logotipo y buena parte de la identidad del servicio, pero una marca conocida durante años no desaparece de nuestra memoria al mismo ritmo. Y ahí aparece una pregunta interesante: si una empresa deja de utilizar una marca como identidad principal, ¿significa realmente que la ha abandonado? Ese…

Hemos visto casi 27 minutos de GTA VI y la ambición de Rockstar con este juego ya empieza a entenderse de verdad

Han pasado casi tres años desde que Rockstar enseñó por primera vez ‘ Grand Theft Auto VI ’, y durante todo este tiempo hemos tenido que reconstruir la idea del juego a partir de piezas bastante pequeñas. Dos tráilers, imágenes oficiales y algunos detalles publicados por el estudio han servido para alimentar una expectación enorme, pero no para entender con demasiada precisión qué clase de experiencia está preparando. Eso acaba de cambiar: por primera vez hemos podido observar GTA VI durante el tiempo suficiente como para fijarnos no solo en cómo luce, sino también en cómo parece funcionar.…

A study claimed UFOs orbited Earth in the 1950s. Then scientists checked the math.

The announcement made headlines. In October 2025, a group of researchers published a paper in a well-regarded, peer-reviewed astronomical journal claiming the extraordinary: They’d found evidence of objects orbiting the Earth years before the launch of any human-made artificial satellites. In another paper, they also claimed links between when these objects appeared in the sky and the dates of nuclear tests in the 1950s. If any of these results were correct, it’d represent evidence of orbiting non-human technological artifacts and an indication that whatever “piloted” these artifacts was…

What’s next for AI and how to get there

In 2026, the way we talk about AI is beginning to change. Two years ago, every boardroom argument circled the same question: which model do we bet on? Today, that question barely registers. Frontier systems have converged so tightly that, according to Stanford’s 2026 AI Index, leading models gained roughly 30 percentage points in a […] This story continues at The Next Web

A startup claims it’s found a drug to make your blood young

I knew I’d officially become a ‘longevity influencer’ this month when a company called Generation Lab reached out to offer me the chance to write about—and even receive—their new rejuvenation treatment, an injectable combination of two existing drugs which they call 1 Generation. This wasn’t just any antiaging treatment, either. A company fact sheet says that…

Smart nanoparticles light up brain cancer and destroy what surgery misses

Scientists created smart nanoparticles that can both illuminate hidden glioblastoma cells during surgery and destroy microscopic cancer left behind afterward. In mice, the treatment prevented recurrence and led to 100% survival at 60 days, though it has not yet been tested in humans.

Eating more ultra-processed foods may raise prostate cancer risk by 30%

Ultra-processed foods make up a huge share of the American diet, and new research suggests they may carry another serious health risk for men. In a nationally representative study of more than 17,000 U.S. men, those who ate more ultra-processed foods, including soft drinks, packaged snacks, cereals, and processed meats, had roughly 24% to 31% higher risks of prostate cancer after accounting for factors such as age, smoking, race and ethnicity, and poverty status.
