UK Regulator Orders Meta (Formerly Facebook) To Sell Giphy, Calls 2020 Deal Anticompetitive
UK regulators today ordered Meta , formerly Facebook , to unwind its acquisition of popular GIF-making and sharing app Giphy after concluding the deal was anticompetitive – a significant call amid rising pressure on both sides of the Atlantic to rein in the power of the social media giant, including by breaking it up. “We have decided that the only effective way to address the competition issues that we have identified is for Facebook to sell Giphy, in its entirety, to a suitable buyer,” the Competition & Markets Authority said in a release. This would be the first time the CMA has attempted to unwind a completed acquisition by a tech giant. The decision wasn’t total surprise, following provisional findings issued in August. The CMA recently fined Facebook £50.5 million (just under $70 million) for breaching an initial enforcement order related to the deal. Facebook acquired the venture-backed startup in May of 2020 for $400 million. U.S. lawmakers and …
Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Dr. Drew: TV Talking Heads Trigger Backlash For Coronavirus Comments
Dr. Phil McGraw is the latest celebrity doctor to trigger a backlash over comments made on the coronavirus , when, as a guest on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show, he compared coronavirus deaths to those due to smoking, car crashes and swimming pool accidents. “The fact of the matter is we have 45,000 people a year die from automobile accidents, 480,000 from cigarettes, 360,000 from swimming pools and we don’t shut the country down for that, and yet we are doing it for this, and the fallout is going to last for years because people’s lives are going to be destroyed,” McGraw said on Thursday morning. After a social media backlash to those comments, McGraw said on Friday that he “probably used bad examples” on The Ingraham Angle , and that he supported the shutdown orders, the Centers for Disease Control guidelines and the need for broader testing. He also advised viewers to listen to their governors as they make decisions on how and when to reopen: The …

Opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of Rolling Stone editors or publishers. First thing’s first: What is the metaverse? According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the metaverse is “a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users.” Still unclear? I’m not surprised. Breaking Down the Metaverse Concept Think of the metaverse as a virtual world where beings are able to work, play and interact with each other through the use of audiovisual equipment and internet devices. In essence, the metaverse is an extension of our everyday lives in the physical world. However, in this digital reality, possibilities are virtually endless given that the physical limitations of the real world no longer constrain human interaction.

Live Music After Manchester
There have been deadlier incidents – at Paris’ Bataclan theater, where three gunmen killed 90 fans at an Eagles of Death Metal concert in 2015, and at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, where a shooter killed 49 last year. But the May 22nd bombing at an Ariana Grande concert at England’s Manchester Arena was a new kind of horror. The attack was shocking both for its apparent targeting of young people, and for the ease with which it was carried out: By detonating his device in a foyer area just outside the venue, the 22-year-old bomber found a way to circumvent security at a major arena. “My first thought is, ‘How do they let this guy in a venue?’ Because everybody has cracked down on security,” says Bob McLynn, manager of Lorde, Sia and Fall Out Boy. “But this is a different thing.” The attack happened just as the summer concert season was kicking off, presenting a new dilemma for a music industry already struggling with the issue of concert safety. “It will have an impact on sales for …
