A California jury found A$AP Rocky not guilty on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm tied to a 2021 incident with a former friend in Los Angeles.

The case centered on a November 6, 2021, altercation…

The cryptocoin $Libra quickly rose in value before nosediving, causing severe losses for the majority of people who had invested in it. A judge will now determine if the president should face fraud charges over the incident.

South Korea has accused Chinese AI startup DeepSeek of sharing user data with the owner of TikTok in China. “We confirmed DeepSeek communicating with ByteDance,” the South Korean data protection regulator told Yonhap News Agency. The country had already removed DeepSeek from app stores over the weekend over data protection concerns. The Chinese app caused shockwaves in the AI world in January, wiping billions off global stock markets over claims its new model was trained at a much lower cost than US rivals such as ChatGPT. Since then, multiple countries have warned that user data may not be properly protected, and in February a US…
UK inflation jumped sharply in the year to January, driven by rising food prices, air fares and an increase in private school fees. The higher-than-expected jump to 3% from 2.5% in December, means prices rose at the fastest pace for 10 months.
