Turkish competition body launches probe, interim measure against Meta over AI practices

Trending on Billboard The crowd in Times Square at 5 p.m. on Thursday (June 3) appeared normal. Tourists posed with giant Labubus and Transformers, and those pushing past to get from A to B faced no more difficulty than usual. But at 6:27 p.m., two secret doors inside a billboard three stories above Broadway opened up and the Queen of Pop emerged. For the next 15 minutes, Madonna took to the small stage overlooking the street to perform her two new singles from her new album Confessions II, as well as favorites from Confessions, as thousands of adoring fans looked on from the street below. Related Behind the scenes, the moment took years of careful planning. Madonna’s performance, which captured attention globally and served as a marketing ploy in partnership with Grindr to celebrate Pride Month and help support her current album campaign for Confessions II, was tied to the official launch of new venue The Square. And its location, directly on Broadway and 47th Street in the heart of Times Square, makes it one of the more sensational, and secretive, venues in the city. “We thought she was the right person to talk across multiple generations of fans,” says Jeff Marks

The payment stems from a settlement of multiple lawsuits against Facebook by users who claimed the social media network improperly shared their information with third-party sources, such as advertisers and data brokers. The lawsuits were sparked by Facebook's 2018 privacy scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site to profile voters.  Meta has denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement. The first settlement payments were sent to Facebook users in September 2025, with a court filing stating that the average payment amount was $29.43. Payments were based on factors including how long someone used Facebook during the 15-year period covered by the settlement and the number of people who filed claims. Here's what to know about the second payments.   » Read More

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 05: FIFA World Cup Trophy is displayed prior to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Official Draw at John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on December 05, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Hector Vivas - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images) FIFA via Getty Images The FBI is warning people about scammers setting up phony FIFA websites to lure people into paying for tickets or merchandise that they will never receive or provide personal information that will lead to identity theft. Often the scammers will use URLs that at first glance such as www.fiffa.com may appear to be the legitimate www.fifa.com site. Among the many other counterfeit websites that the FBI identified are www.fifa-online.com and jobs-fifa.com. By using AI, the scammers can make their counterfeit websites appear legitimate. The cybersecurity company Group-IB identified more than 4,300 phony FIFA websites registered since August 2025. Tickets to the games are in high demand with more than 150 million ticket requests made to FIFA in just the first 15 days tickets were made available.  » Read More

While Hollywood is abuzz this week over Kane Parsons’ “Backrooms” and Curry Barker’s “Obsession,” the YouTube-to-Big Screen pipeline is not as new as some might think. Just ask David F. Sandberg. It’s been a decade since the filmmaker from Jönköping, Sweden, whose filmography includes two “Shazam!” films with DC and an adaptation of the Playstation horror game “Until Dawn,” first came to America after “Lights Out,” a no-budget horror short he made for a film contest with his wife Lotta Losten, went viral on YouTube and Vimeo. The film attracted the attention of “The Conjuring” director and Atomic Monster co-founder James Wan, who worked with Sandberg to produce a feature-length version of the short. “We just made the film for the competition and moved on, and then I think the Vimeo version was shared on a Reddit page a couple months later and suddenly it was everywhere,” Sandberg told TheWrap. “At first it had 600 views, then we checked after that post and it had 17,000. We clicked ‘refresh’ and suddenly it had 70,000.” As of today, the “Lights Out” short has a combined 29 million views from YouTube and Vimeo. While YouTube’s role in the entertainment world has grown
