India limits content takedown powers to fewer officials after spat with Musk's X

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Munsif Vengattil and Arpan Chaturvedi BENGALURU (Reuters) -The Indian government has reduced the number of officials who can order content to be taken down from the internet, a move that follows a bitter legal battle with Elon Musk's X that centered around a contentious policy. X, Musk's social media platform, had been in opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2023 decision to police the internet by allowing thousands of officials to file takedown orders. In August, Reuters reported that police inspectors were issuing takedown orders on cartoons and satirical posts, sparking one of X's most high-profile legal challenges against a government's content-removal policy. X lost the lawsuit in Karnataka High Court in September, with a judge ruling that its challenge was without merit and X had to abide by local laws. But late on Wednesday, India's IT ministry changed its policy by limiting the number of people who can issue such orders to top bureaucrats and police officials. Now only bureaucrats with the rank of joint secretary or higher and police officials who are serving as deputy inspector general or above can issue takedown orders, the government said in its modification to the rules. "The government is backing down and reducing its earlier powers that extended to many more officials, but the number of officials who can issue orders will still be in the hundreds," said Akash Karmakar, a partner at Indian law firm Panag & Babu who specializes in technology law. The changes are meant to ensure "additional safeguards to ensure senior-level accountability, precise specification of unlawful content and periodic review of government directions at (a) higher level," a government statement said. X did not respond to a request for comment. It previously said it would challenge the Karnataka High Court's ruling. GOVERNMENT BACKING DOWN, 'REASONED INTIMATION' NEEDED In its court challenge, X argued that India's actions were illegal and unconstitutional, adding that they trampled upon free speech by allowing scores of government agencies and thousands of police to suppress legitimate criticism of public officials. India contended that it was attempting to curb a proliferation of illegal content and ensure accountability online. When it changed its rules on Wednesday, the government did not make reference to its legal fight with the social media platform. In July, X's counsel said in court that every "Tom, Dick, and Harry" in India was illegally issuing takedown orders. The change in rules will become effective on November 15. "The process of challenging these takedown orders remains onerous and inverts the burden of proof on the user whose content is taken down, curbing free speech," said Karmakar, the tech-focused lawyer. The new rules also require content takedown orders to be supported by a "reasoned intimation", "clearly specifying the legal basis and statutory provision invoked, the nature of the unlawful act" as well as the website's address. The earlier rules did not contain such requirements. In another layer of scrutiny, the rules also add a requirement that takedown orders shall be "subject to periodic review" by an officer of secretary rank once a month.

Apple loses landmark UK lawsuit over app store commissions

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Sam Tobin LONDON (Reuters) -Apple abused its dominant position by charging app developers unfair commissions, a London tribunal ruled on Thursday, in a blow which could leave the U.S. tech company on the hook for hundreds of millions of pounds in damages. The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) ruled against Apple after a trial of the lawsuit, which was brought on behalf of millions of iPhone and iPad users in the United Kingdom. The CAT ruled that Apple had abused its dominant position from October 2015 until the end of 2020 by shutting out competition in the app distribution market and by "charging excessive and unfair prices" as commission to developers. Apple – which has faced mounting pressure from regulators in the U.S. and Europe over the fees it charges developers – said it would appeal against the ruling, which it said "takes a flawed view of the thriving and competitive app economy". The case had been valued at around 1.5 billion pounds ($2 billion) by those who brought it. A hearing next month will decide how damages are calculated and Apple's application for permission to appeal. Thursday's ruling comes after Apple was hit with a complaint to European antitrust regulators over the terms and conditions of its App Store under rules aimed at reining in Big Tech. LANDMARK MASS LAWSUIT Rachael Kent, the British academic who brought the case, argued Apple had made "exorbitant profits" by excluding all competition for the distribution of apps and in-app purchases. Her lawyers argued at the start of the trial in January that Apple's "100% monopoly position" allowed it to impose restrictive terms and excessive commissions on app developers, which Apple denied. The CAT said in its ruling that developers were overcharged by the difference between a 17.5% commission for app purchases and the commission Apple charged, which Kent's lawyers said was usually 30%. The CAT also ruled that app developers passed on 50% of the overcharge to consumers. "This ruling overlooks how the App Store helps developers succeed and gives consumers a safe, trusted place to discover apps and securely make payments," an Apple spokesperson said. BOOST FOR UK'S 'CLASS ACTION' REGIME The case was the first mass lawsuit against a tech giant to come to trial under Britain's fledgling class action-style regime, which this year reached its 10th anniversary and has seen several multi-billion-pound cases certified for trial but with limited success for consumers so far. There are, however, many other cases waiting in the wings, including one against Google over the commission it charges app developers for access to its Play Store. That case is due to begin in October 2026 and will be heard alongside a similar claim by Epic Games, which is engaged in parallel litigation with Apple in the U.S. Fellow tech giants including Amazon and Microsoft are also facing sizeable claims at the CAT. Kent said in a statement that the ruling shows Britain's collective action regime is working and "sends a clear message: no company, however wealthy or powerful, is above the law".

Ahead of the Day of the Dead, a special day to honour departed pets

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

Before Day of the Dead, more and more people are honouring departed dogs and cats in a new tradition. Families welcome the spirits of their deceased pets with altar candles, offerings of favorite treats and cherished mementos such as old toys and worn collars. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (tca/dpa) – The spirits of the pets come first, treading home on soft, shadowy paws, making their way by the light of altar candles and guided by the eternal tie of love. They’re welcomed with offerings of favorite treats and fresh water, and by the careful placement of old toys and worn collars that have become cherished mementos. It’s a new tradition connected to the Day of the Dead, the ancient Mexican holiday where people honor and celebrate the lives of family members at a time when the wall between worlds melts. Now, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, people have begun to recognize not just human relatives but those with wings and whiskers, the departed dogs, cats, birds, and other animals that enriched their lives. And who, like family, continue to be mourned and missed. The souls of pets are said to return on Oct. 27 , a few days before the Dia de Muertos on Nov. 1 and 2. “The day,” said Gerardo Coronado Benitez , manager of the Association of Mexican Business Owners of Philadelphia , “is not about death, but about celebrating and remembering people, keeping memories alive. Of course many people want to keep alive the memories of their pets.” He’s helping organize a big Day of the Dead eventat the Italian Market on Nov. 2 , where people will be able to place photos of relatives and pets on a community ofrenda ― a decorated altar ― at 9th Street and Washington Avenue . Others haveset up altars in their homes . These ofrendas may be adorned with traditional marigolds, with candy skulls, paper skeletons, and photographs. But they may also feature a snatch of fur or a whisker left behind. Genesis Pimentel-Howard created an ofrenda for her cat, Mobi, on a bedroom shelf of the West Philadelphia home she shares with her husband, Yaphet Howard . It’s hard for her to talk about Mobi, who died suddenly in May at only 4 years old. He was, she said, an adorable menace. Mobi loved to poke at and play with the couple’s other cat, Sannin, though Sannin didn’t always appreciate the attention. Mobi sometimes stole food from the trash. And he managed to push over and break Pimentel-Howard’s flat-screen TV. Still, she said, he followed her everywhere, even into the bathroom. She couldn’t use the bathroom without him trailing her inside. “A sweet momma’s boy,” she said. “Always next to me.” On the ofrenda, Pimentel-Howard placed her grandmother’s pearls. And photos of her family dogs, Ella and Red, and her hamster, Shia LaBeouf . She added a shadow box that holds Mobi’s collar and an impression of his paw. “I’ll stay up as late as a can to welcome him,” she said. “I like to think he’ll be around.” The roots of the Day of the Dead go back 3,000 years, to Aztec and Mayan traditions. It’s celebrated not only in Mexico but also in wider Latin America andin communities across the United States . Dogs have always played an important role. The ancients considered them sacred, guides that led souls through the afterlife. They revered the Mexican Hairless Dog, the Xoloitzcuintle, or Xolo for short. It’sa Xolo dog, Dante, that guides Miguel to meet his ancestors inCoco, the popular animated Disney movie. And it’s a song from the movie,Remember Me , that’s become the soundtrack for countless social-media posts about departed pets. In Philadelphia , theItalian Market festival welcomes all who wish to take part to South 9th Street between Federal and Christian Streets from 11 am to 5 pm. The Fleisher Art Memorial in South Philadelphia alsowill hold a big Day of the Dead celebration . Everyone is invited to help with final preparations for the ofrenda from 2 pm to 9 pm on October 31 , and to come to the Day of the Dead event the next day. “The animals, that’s family too,” said María De Los Angeles Hernández Del Prado, the artist who led the creation of the Fleisher’s large, three-part ofrenda, which includes a section devoted to pets. “They’re the same as us, they just don’t talk the same language.” Pimentel-Howard knew after Mobi died that she would find a way to honor him, along with the other animals she has loved. “You don’t know what it’s like to lose an animal,” she said, “until you’ve lost one.” The following information is not intended for publication dpa tca arw

written by Inkhabar webdesk

VIDEO SHOWS: FILE FOOTAGE OF LIONEL MESSI AS AN INTER MIAMI PLAYER COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW STORY: Lionel Messi has extended his contract with MLS side Inter Miami to 2028, the club announced on Thursday (October 23), a boost for the North American league as the Argentine great keeps his career going. The eight-times Ballon d'Or winner had previously said that Inter Miami would be his last club but the 38-year-old has given no hint as to his possible retirement, saying that age would not be a factor. The 2022 World Cup winner led the league in goals (29) this season, as Inter Miami finished third in the Eastern Conference. They are set to play Nashville SC in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs beginning on Friday. Messi sparked fresh interest in the league when he first signed in 2023, in a critical moment for the sport in North America, with Canada, Mexico and the United States set to host the World Cup next year.

Microsoft introduces new Copilot features such as collaboration, Google integration

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

(Reuters) -Microsoft on Thursday introduced new features in its digital assistant Copilot such as collaboration and deeper integration with other services like Outlook and Google, beefing up its artificial intelligence service to stave off a hit from its competition. Other AI service providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI are upgrading their models and launching products aimed at capturing a wider share of the booming AI market. If it gets permission, Copilot can see and use reasoning over a user's tabs on Microsoft's Edge browser, summarize and compare information and take action like booking a hotel. Previous browsers can also be turned into "storylines" so people can revisit older ideas. Along with the software features, the company introduced an avatar called "Mico" – a nod to Microsoft Copilot – which can show expressions and change color to make conversations feel natural, the company said. The upgrades are an attempt to boost the appeal of Microsoft's browser to gain ground on Alphabet's Google Chrome, while OpenAI also entered the browser market with Atlas. Groups turns Copilot into a shared space, able to support up to 32 people, allowing users to collaborate on writing and other projects. The company has also improved Copilot's health-related questions, addressing how to ground responses from credible sources, as concerns over misinformation from AI-generated responses rise.

(SOUNDBITE) (French) TOUR DE FRANCE GENERAL DIRECTOR, CHRISTIAN PRUDHOMME, SAYING: "Just three years after Bilbao, the Tour de France will once again set off from Spain. And after the Basque Country, Catalonia. Barcelona, ​​the city of wonders, as the Spanish writer Eduardo Mendoza called it in one of his novels. Barcelona, ​​the city of Gaudi, the city of the 1992 Olympic Games, the city of the greatest sporting events. And tomorrow, the Tour, which it has hosted three times in 1965, in 1957 before then, and in 2009, but never for a grand start. So this will be a first." 4. (SOUNDBITE) (French) BARCELONA MAYOR, JAUME COLLBONI CUADRADO, SAYING: "Barcelona is a city absolutely ready to organize events. We will be the first city in the world to host the Olympic Games, a FIFA World Cup, the America's Cup, and now the grand start of the Tour de France. We will choose the best locations in Barcelona, ​​so that the Tour de France and the city shine.” 5.

AUDIENCE APPLAUDING 10. PRESENTATION VIDEO SHOWING SEGMENT FROM LE BOURG D’OISANS TO L’ALPE D’HUEZ / SEGMENT FROM THOIRY TO FINALE IN PARIS  11. AUDIENCE APPLAUDING STORY: The 2026 men's Tour de France will for a second year include a final stage up Paris’ Montmartre hill, and that will follow two gruelling Alpe d’Huez summit finishes, organisers said on Thursday (October 23), promising a route to keep up the suspense to the very end. After starting in Barcelona on July 4, the 113th edition of cycling’s biggest race will on July 26 culminate in a spectacular climb through Montmartre's cobbled Rue Lepic – a feature first introduced in 2025 and won by Belgium’s Wout van Aert after a fierce duel with four-time champion Tadej Pogacar. Race director Christian Prudhomme said the organisers wanted the race to remain undecided until the very end, with a succession of punishing mountain stages before the finale. The peloton will climb Alpe d’Huez twice in succession — first via its famous 21 hairpins on Stage 19, then again the following day from the Col de Sarenne after a 171 km stage with 5,600 metres of elevation gain. The race will enter France early through the Pyrenees, with a first mountain test between Pau and Gavarnie-Gedre on Stage 6, featuring the Col du Tourmalet. The route revisits several battlegrounds of the Pogacar–Vingegaard rivalry, including Le Lioran and Le Markstein. A single individual time trial of 26 km between Evian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains is scheduled for Stage 16.  (Production: Clotaire Achi)
