The EU is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat and two other pornography websites it believes may be falling foul of its online content laws. The European Commission said the sites, which also include XVideos and XNXX, did not appear to have measures in place to safeguard children and their rights.

Have we reached peak AI bubble? After OpenAI paid more than $6.5bn (£4.8bn) in stock last week to acquire the services of Sir Jony Ive, the British industrial designer of the iPhone, it certainly seems frothy. The plan is to embed artificial intelligence (AI) into consumer objects that we didn’t know we wanted. There’s also another, more cynical theory, which proposes that it doesn’t really matter what products Ive creates.
