STORIES MAKING A SPLASH

Mark Cuban asks Elon Musk to post X's algorithm source code

Mark Cuban has called on Elon Musk to release the source code for X’s algorithm before implementing any changes. Musk recently announced that X plans to prioritize content from smaller accounts, as the current algorithm tends to favor larger ones. Cuban suggested that users should review and give feedback on the code before it’s put into effect.

Additionally, Cuban asked for clarity on how X determines post relevance, reputation, and similarity if sharing the code isn’t feasible. He stressed the importance of user input in shaping these criteria.

Musk has yet to respond, prompting debate among fans. Cuban pointed out that Musk’s distinctive approach to political commentary and user interactions sets X apart from other social media platforms, questioning why similar transparency isn't expected elsewhere.

Apple’s iPhone 16 launch event is set for September

Apple’s next major event is set for September 9th, 2024, at 1PM ET / 10AM PT, with the tagline “It’s Glowtime.” The presentation will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park.

The highlight will likely be the unveiling of the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to feature a new vertically aligned camera system, while the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max might offer larger screens and a fresh bronze color option. All models are rumored to introduce the Action Button, previously exclusive to the Pro line, and a potential new button for capturing photos and videos.

In addition to the iPhones, Apple is anticipated to showcase the Apple Watch Series 10 and two new AirPods models. Expect significant updates on AI and Apple Intelligence, which may expand to the entire iPhone 16 lineup.

Uber hit with €290 million fine by Dutch DPA

Uber is facing a €290 million ($347 million) fine for mishandling driver data transfers from the EU to the US, marking one of the largest penalties under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) issued the fine, accusing Uber of failing to properly protect European drivers' data during the transfer process.

The DPA's investigation was triggered by complaints from 170 French Uber drivers. It found that Uber retained sensitive data on US servers without proper protection tools, violating GDPR requirements. The data included account details, taxi licenses, location data, and even criminal and medical information.

Since the penalty, Uber has halted improper data transfer practices. The GDPR, established by the EU in 2016, enforces strict data privacy rules and aims to hold companies accountable for safeguarding personal information.
