Musk’s X seeks Brazil comeback, retreats on ‘censorship’ feud

Image
In a major climbdown, Elon Musk’s X told Brazil’s Supreme Court it had complied with orders to stop the spread of misinformation and asked a judge to lift a ban on the platform, according to a document seen by Reuters. The billionaire had held out for more than five months against what he called “censorship” in a feud with a judge in one of X’s largest and most coveted markets. The court shut Brazilians’ access to the platform in late August. A decision from the court on X’s return is still pending, but people close to Musk in Brazil believe service could be restored in a matter of days. Late on Thurday, X said access to the site in Brazil “is essential for a thriving democracy” and that it respects the sovereignty of the countries in which it operates. “We will continue to defend freedom of expression and due process of law through legal processes,” the company’s global affairs team added in a post on the platform.

Star Health sues Telegram

Top Indian insurer Star Health has sued Telegram and a self-styled hacker after Reuters reported that the hacker was using chatbots on the messaging app to leak personal data and medical reports of policy holders. The lawsuit comes amid growing scrutiny of Telegram globally and the arrest of its founder Pavel Durov in France last month, with the app’s content moderation and features allegedly abused for illegal activities. Durov and Telegram denied wrongdoing and are addressing the criticism. Star has received a temporary injunction from a court in its home state of Tamil Nadu ordering Telegram and the hacker to block any chatbots or websites in India that make available the data online, according to a copy of the order. Star has also sued U.S.-listed software firm Cloudflare Inc in the lawsuit, saying the leaked data on websites were hosted using its services. “Confidential and personal data of … customers and of the plaintiff’s business activities in general has been hacked and

Sucker Punch Productions has announced working on a sequel video game to PlayStation‘s popular title Ghost of Tsushima. The developer has said that the game titled Ghost of Yōtei, will arrive in 2025 with a new protagonist, Atsu, and a new storyline.

In 1603, this area was outside the rule of Japan, and filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers. It’s a far cry from the organized samurai clans who lived in Tsushima, and it’s the setting for an original story we can’t wait to tell.” Sucker Punch Productions communications manager Andrew Goldfarb said in a PlayStation blog, “When we set out to make a new ‘Ghost’ game, we wanted to maintain the core pillars established in ‘Ghost of Tsushima’: playing as
