The Latest
X will require an identification document to verify users
Since Twitter became X, new features have not stopped arriving. Now, the platform has started asking some users for their identification document to verify their account.
For the moment, the social network has not made this update official. However, it seems that this option will only be available to users subscribed to Premium.
Threads stalls and loses up to 70% of users
After the initial enthusiasm, Meta's new social network has been losing users steadily. Despite reaching the record figure of 100 million registered users in its first five days, the reality is that it has not managed to retain the vast majority. Up to 70% of users have stopped using Threads since its launch.
One of the factors that has contributed most to its lack of success is its limitation in the European Union territory, as Threads does not comply with its regulations on the use of personal information already existing on another social network. In its case, by being linked directly to Instagram, it obtained data from users already registered on that application.
TikTok will store its users' data in Ireland and Norway
TikTok has announced that it will start migrating European user data from servers in the U.S., Singapore, and Malaysia to Ireland and Norway. In this way, the platform of Chinese origin seeks to end accusations about its lack of protection for its users' data.
This move by TikTok is part of "Project Clover," whose goal is to lower skepticism from U.S. and European institutions regarding the use of private user information and convince their governments that its app is secure.
iMac turns 25
On August 15, 1998, the iMac arrived in stores. 25 years have passed since then, and Apple's all-in-one computer continues to be one of the company's core products, being a benchmark for desktop computers both inside and outside the company.
The design of the iMac has evolved from bulky monitors to versions that look like contemporary desk lamps and, finally, towards the thin aluminum slabs that are part of many desks around the world.
