Facebook reported monthly active users (MAUs) up 7.3% at 2.9 billion for the quarter ended in June. The figure was in line with expectations but reflected slowing growth, knocking shares down 4% in late trading. The social media giant said total revenue of $29.08 billion rose 56%. Net profit jumped 101% to $10.39 billion, or $3.61 a share. Both figures repped a Wall Street beat on the wings of higher digital ad revenue that has marked tech sector earnings this week and last — but it was less pronounced at Facebook than at others like Twitter, Snap, Google and even Spotify. “We had a strong quarter as we continue to help businesses grow and people stay connected,” said CEO Mark Zuckerberg . “I’m excited to see our major initiatives around creators and community, commerce, and building the next computing platform coming together to start to bring the vision of the metaverse to life.” Daily active users, or DAUs, were 1.91 billion on average for the quarter, an increase …

President Biden announced a swath of new vaccine mandates for millions of Americans on Thursday. In a speech from the White House, the president said that vaccinations will be mandatory for federal employees and contractors, businesses with more than 100 workers and healthcare practitioners in institutions that accept Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. “Despite having an unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months, free vaccines have been available at 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot,” the president said. “What more is there to wait for? What more do you need to see?” he added. “We’ve made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. the vaccine has FDA approval, over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot.

Apple Acted Like A Monopoly, Judge In Epic Games Case Rules, But Mixed Ruling Means App Store Fees Can Stay
Apple has been found to “hide critical information from consumers and illegally stifle consumer choice,” a judge ruled in the company’s legal battle with Epic Games , but the mixed decision will leave App Store fees in place. U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers did not find that Apple fully fit the legal definition of a monopoly. In her ruling (read it HERE ), she said Apple must now let developers tell consumers how to make purchases outside of apps. That lessens the control Apple can exert over the process, and could limit the revenue it derives from the store. Services as a division of Apple, which includes the App Store, has been gradually becoming a top corporate priority, given the financial stability of services compared with the more volatile hardware arena. Apple next week will host a “California Streaming” event, at which it is expected to unveil a new iPhone and a host of other products. In her ruling, Rogers did not go easy on Apple, …

Opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of Rolling Stone editors or publishers. While the Covid-19 pandemic hit the entertainment industry hard, it hit indie artists even harder, especially when it came to them protecting their revenue-dependent consumer fanbase. When musicians and producers took to social media to keep their careers alive, hosting virtual concerts and regular content drops, it wasn’t long before platforms like Facebook and Spotify began implementing guardrails . This posed a challenge for the many struggling artists out there just needing to stay afloat. With concerts returning, indie artists have some catching up to do, beginning by leveraging technology like blockchain and crypto to stay ahead. Music-related non-fungible tokens , or NFTs, have proved to be a new way for both the artist and, finally, their fans to connect.
