Ahead of the antitrust hearing that’s due to take place later today, the opening statements from the CEOs of Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook have been published on the House Judiciary Committee’s website. Ranging in length from four to eight pages, the statements give us our best look yet at how Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg plan to defend their companies from this latest wave of antitrust scrutiny, and accusations that some of their actions harm consumers and stifle competition.
There are a lot of similarities between the four statements which you can read in their entirety here:

In May, we saw the arrival of the first viral hoax of the COVID-19 era: “Plandemic,” a meandering 26-minute video which falsely asserted that vaccines “weaken” people’s immune systems and that wearing a mask would “activate” the coronavirus. Despite the best efforts of Facebook and YouTube, a single upload of “Plandemic” got 7.1 million views before it was removed.
As I wrote at the time, the problem was not that the platforms were ignoring the video — it was that, at their scale, even the few hours it took them to research the issue were enough for “Plandemic” to get all the way around the world. “It likely won’t be the last piece of harmful misinformation about COVID-19 that becomes a blockbuster,” I wrote back then. “And when the...

In 2014, Mellow, Inc. released the Mellow for $399, billing it as “the world’s first smart sous-vide machine” — one that promised to automatically weigh and then heat and cool your specified foods for a perfect slow-cooked result, even adjusting that timing mid-cook to match your changing schedule. But now, the company is taking away those smarts from existing owners unless they pay $6 a month, or $48 for an annual subscription.

Google and Samsung are in discussions for a deal that would give the US tech giant’s services more prominence on Samsung phones at the expense of those from the Korean manufacturer, according to a report by Bloomberg. The deal would reportedly involve promoting the Google Assistant and the Play Store over Samsung’s own alternatives.
Samsung is the world’s biggest smartphone company and by far the leading Android handset maker in the US. While its phones use Google’s Android operating system, Samsung has consistently tried to build out an ecosystem of its own software that runs atop Android, including the Bixby voice assistant and the Galaxy app store. Google’s own products are still available on Samsung’s phones, but Samsung has gone as...

The latest to join the 500 Test wicket club, England's Stuart Broad finds hard work "addictive" and says there are "a few overs left" in him and his long.Brie Larson wants to be more open to her fans as well as the outside world in general. For long, the actress best known for her role as Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has hidden parts of her personal life from both the press and internet. Appearing on an episode of Hot Ones, however, she said she desires to become more transparent moving forward, explaining:
“I think for so long my internet perception was like, through a press day. I always felt if I revealed too much about myself that then people wouldn’t be able to believe me as other characters. So that’s really been something that I’ve always held really close to my chest… there’s a lot that people don’t know about me and a lot that I guess deep down I’ve been too scared to be so vulnerable on the Internet.”
Larson’s concern is a valid one, as a celebrity’s life is all but considered public property. This was true even before the advent of the internet. In this day and age, however, people can express their opinion quicker and with greater ease than ever before. Granted anonymity by the world wide web, their criticism has become fiercer as well as more intrusive. And that’s not even talking about PC culture.
On top of that, her role as Captain Marvel has proven to be particularly divisive. While many praise Larson for becoming Marvel’s first female lead in a standalone film, a good deal of the internet also resents the character she portrays. Criticisms of Carol Danvers have ranged from the character being boring to Larson’s performance coming off as lacklustre.
Brie Larson wants to become more open about herself for other reasons, too. No longer wishing to hide her flaws, she wishes to present herself as who she is, without the guise of either Hollywood PR teams who work for her or the lenses of the filmmakers she works for.
