APPLE TERMINATES EPIC GAMES DEVELOPER ACCOUNT CALLING IT A
`THREAT' TO THE IOS ECOSYSTEM (5 MINUTE READ) [5]
Apple has terminated Epic Games' developer account, a move Epic is
calling a serious violation of the EU's Digital Markets Act. Epic
claims that Apple is retaliating against it for speaking out. Apple
says that Epic's past actions suggest that it doesn't intend to follow
the rules, threatening the integrity of the iOS platform and the
security and privacy of its users. It has the contractual right to
terminate its agreement with Epic at any time.
BILL THAT COULD BAN TIKTOK IN THE U.S. GAINS MOMENTUM IN CONGRESS (5
MINUTE READ) [6]
A new bi-partisan legislation may force ByteDance to divest TikTok or
risk having it banned in US app stores. The bill, dubbed the
Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications
Act, creates a process for identifying certain social media
applications under the control of foreign adversaries as national
security threats. Apps deemed a risk would be banned from online app
stores and web hosting services unless they sever ties with entities
under the control of foreign adversaries within 180 days of the
designation. There are concerns that TikTok could be used by the
Chinese government to access personal data from its users and show
them videos that could influence their views on particular issues.

MINUTE READ) [8]
Colossal, a company that plans to take extinct species and restore

these stem cells could also be used to conserve existing species.

ECOSYSTEM,' EXEC SAYS (4 MINUTE READ) [11]

TO COMPLY WITH DMA, WHATSAPP AND MESSENGER WILL BECOME INTEROPERABLE
VIA SIGNAL PROTOCOL (4 MINUTE READ) [12]
Meta plans to make WhatsApp and Messenger interoperable with
third-party messaging services as required by the Digital Markets Act.
Engaging with third-party chats will be an opt-in experience for
users. Third parties have been asked to use the Signal protocol, but
they will be allowed to use other protocols as long as they are able
to demonstrate that the protocol offers the same security guarantees
as Signal. Third parties that connect to Meta will be responsible for
hosting any files their client apps send to Meta's users. They will
need to sign an agreement with Meta before the company will enable interoperability.
