Chinese officials are reviewing Meta's $2 billion acquisition of AI startup Manus for possible technology control violations, FT reported on Tuesday.

There are many reasons Generation Z is pushing to bring back 2016. Some of these reasons include missing how social media used to be, wanting to go back to a simpler time and even going back to a time before the widespread use of AI. Really, 2016 is back in trend based on everyone’s own opinions. Looking back on these trends can be an escape from the current times, where we’re all growing up or trying to escape the current events happening around us.
