CLOSE The European Union files new anti-trust charges against Google, piling pressure on the US tech giant over the alleged abuse of its market dominance. Video provided by AFP Two dozen small Wisconsin newspapers have sued Google and Facebook, claiming the firms' grip on digital advertising threatens the publications' existence and violates federal antitrust law.Their 40-page federal lawsuit recaps the historical role of a free press in America, the decline of the newspaper industry and technical aspects of how it says Google controls the sales, purchase and placement of digital advertising."Google’s dominance of the digital advertising marketplace threatens the extinction of local news journalism across the country," financial damage to publishers "and a profoundly negative effect on American democracy and civic life," the suit states.It was among about a dozen similar complaints filed by newspaper publishers in other states, said Michael J. Fuller Jr., an attorney with the law firm leading the effort.Fuller said the team of plaintiffs' lawyers hopes to follow a model it established suing pharmaceutical companies on behalf of local governments devastated by the opioid crisis,  » Read More

Friends carrying large block getty According to Insider Intelligence’s 2020 Digital Trust Study, LinkedIn ranked number one in ‘Security,’ ‘Legitimacy,’ and ‘Community.’ This has been called into question recently with the recent report of scraped data being pulled from LinkedIn. The big question, should you be concerned? The short answer is no. LinkedIn has come out and said, “This was not a LinkedIn data breach, and no private member account data from LinkedIn was included in what we’ve been able to review.” What this means is the ‘hacker’ (and I’m being generous with that term) brute-force collected data from the public side of LinkedIn, not releasing any private data. This action, while not illegal, is grossly immoral, but should not impact you in any way. LinkedIn’s response to this breach was a lot more transparent than many other organizations. In 2019, Facebook faced a massive data leak that saw 533 million user’s private data go online, including emails, phone numbers, and other contact information; this breach was quickly swept under the rug and wasn’t revealed to the public until two weeks ago when the information on those 533 million users appeared on a public database. The worst part? Facebook decided…

"Me and Hugh were like, 'Why not?'" April 20 2021 1:08 PM EDT Contain your inner fangirl, Hannibal fans. We now have confirmation that the kiss that never happened, almost happened.  In a new interview with Vulture, actor Mads Mikkelsen revealed that he almost planted one on his costar Hugh Dancy during Hannibal's Season 3 finale. As diehard fans know, the homoerotic tension had been building between their two characters, Will Graham (Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mikkelsen), the entire series. It's hard to pinpoint when exactly their obsession with each other evolved into something more, but the series certainly tried to make it clear that their relationship was more than just platonic with that explosive ending.  And it seems Mikkelsen and Dancy felt that homoerotic energy as well! (It wasn't just in our head, Tumblr girls!) "We actually did a couple of takes of the very last scene where we were looking at each other, and it was a little too obvious — it was almost a kiss," said the actor. "Me and Hugh were like, 'Why not? We have a couple of takes. Let’s do one. It might be cool.'" Creator Bryan Fuller thought it might've jumped the shark. "We never went…

Today on Decoder I’m talking to Anjali Sud, the CEO of Vimeo. Now, you probably think of Vimeo as a smaller competitor to YouTube — the company’s been around for 16 years, and that’s what it was for most of that time. But when Anjali took over as CEO, she stopped all that to reinvent Vimeo as a software company that serves video creators. And that market is booming: at the end of 2020, Vimeo had over 1.5 million paying customers generating $83.8 million in revenue in Q4 alone. In fact, Vimeo grew so fast in 2020 that it accidentally turned a profit in the third quarter even as the company was trying to reinvest in growth. Later this year, Vimeo is going to go public in a spinoff from its parent company IAC. That’s a remarkable success story — all because Anjali decided to stop competing with YouTube, Netflix, and other consumer video companies and find a better market to play in. But it also means that, well, there still aren’t any great competitors to YouTube. I asked Anjali about that, about where Vimeo sits in the creator economy, and how she sees the company growing. Anjali Sud, CEO…

Every new social app creates space for different content and different business models. Social audio app Clubhouse — which just raised funds at a $4B valuation mere months after notching a $1B price tag — has become a blank canvas for new ways to monetize live audio. Among the most interesting experiments on the platform is “NYU Girls Roasting Tech Guys,” which The Washington Post describes as a combo of an interactive comedy show, dating game, and podcast. Founded by a group of New York University (NYU) grads… … this Clubhouse room re-creates the atmosphere of a bar. Attendees get the opportunity to spit some game at potential dates (AKA “shoot your shot”). The live nature of the room can lead to viral unscripted moments and attracts upward of 10k unique Clubhouse users a night. The Hustle recently spoke to 2 of the show’s co-hosts — Devin Lewtan and Sarah Jannetti — to find out what’s next for NYU Girls: Business model NYU Girls utilizes the tipping feature from Clubhouse and also runs a chat channel on Spore where listeners can interact with each other (and also tip the hosts).  » Read More
