Social media companies X and Rumble have filed lawsuits against an advertising trade group and its members, accusing them of engaging in anti-competitive practices to facilitate boycotts and force tech platforms to censor content. The lawsuits were filed in the U.S.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk's X platform is deceiving users with its blue checkmarks for certified accounts, and is also violating EU content rules, Brussels said Friday, in a finding that could lead to hefty fines.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew found himself at the center of a heated exchange with US lawmakers as they probed the social media giant's connections to China, particularly its parent company ByteDance. Lawmakers questioned the extent of access granted to the Chinese government, raising concerns about potential influence on TikTok's operations and content policies, as reported by CNN.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a public apology in U.S. Congress on Wednesday as hostile lawmakers grilled tech chiefs over the dangers that children face on social media platforms.

The executives convened by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee were put to task in a session titled "Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis."

Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, will open a moderation office in Texas with an emphasis on fighting content linked to child sexual abuse, the company said.

Social media app TweetDeck has begun going behind a paywall on, with users of platform X, formerly known as Twitter, being diverted to a paid-subscription sign-up page when they tried to access it.

The new CEO of the company formerly known as Twitter says she's spent much of the past eight weeks trying to get big brands back and advertising on the social media platform that's been in upheaval since it was bought last year by Elon Musk.

Following several complaints, Elon Musk's "X" sign has been removed from his social media company, formerly known as Twitter's San Francisco headquarters on Monday in the afternoon hours, The Hill reported.

The silhouette of a blue chirping bird used by Twitter as the world-famous logo of the micro-messaging service is now a thing of the past. The new logo is the X sign.

Twitter owner Elon Musk hinted at it over the weekend and even showed it off in a short video, but without guaranteeing that this would be the logo.

Elon Musk says Twitter is still losing cash because advertising has dropped by half.

In a reply to a tweet offering business advice, Musk tweeted on July 15, "We're still negative cash flow, due to (about a) 50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load."

"Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else," he concluded.
