Over the past decade, we have seen just how
addictive and overwhelming the online world
can be, exposing our children to a non-stop
stream of harmful content and fueling our
national youth mental health crisis, Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.
Today, we’re taking bold action on behalf
of millions of New Yorkers to hold these
companies accountable for their role in this
crisis, and we’re building on our work to
address this public health hazard.
, Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.
Spokespeople for
the defendants
deny the allegations.
We regularly partner with experts
to understand emerging best
practices, and will continue to work
to keep our community safe by
tackling industry-wide challenges, TikTok spokesperson, via statement.
Providing young people with a
safer, healthier experience online
has always been core to our work, Google spokesperson, via statement.
We want teens to have safe,
age-appropriate experiences online,
and we have over 30 tools and features
to support them and their parents.
, Meta spokesperson, via statement.
While we will always have more
work to do, we feel good about the role
Snapchat plays in helping close friends feel
connected, happy and prepared as they
face the many challenges of adolescence, Snap Inc.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

Jay Leno is criticizing late-night hosts for inserting politics into their shows. The former 'Tonight Show' host took aim at partisan late-night shows in a recent interview with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. While the interview was taped at least two weeks ago — likely before CBS made its shock announcement that it was canceling 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' on July 17 — the portion of the interview containing the late-night criticism was posted on YouTube last week and has been making the rounds this weekend due to recent headlines.

The crash of Air India flight AI171 has sparked a storm of controversy as BBC’s coverage comes under scrutiny. The network is being accused of prematurely blaming pilot error based on partial cockpit audio, while downplaying potential Boeing faults. Netizens argue the full context—including the second pilot’s denial—was omitted. Critics say the BBC’s narrative shifts blame from Boeing to the flight crew, especially after the channel changed a YouTube title post-backlash. Public figures like Suhel Seth have slammed the reporting as biased, questioning the integrity of the BBC’s narrative.

Bengaluru, once seen as just India’s outsourcing hub, is now the beating heart of a global tech revolution. With over 10,000 startups, world-class talent from IITs, and returning entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley, this city is rapidly redefining what it means to lead in innovation.
In this video, we explore how Bengaluru transformed into India’s Silicon Valley, how it’s building the future of AI, biotech, and space tech — and why global giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are investing heavily here.

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline.

Explained! Why President Trump abruptly ended all trade talks with Canada. Trump called Canada's Digital Services Tax a “direct & blatant attack” on U.S. firms. The tax, retroactive to 2022, targets tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, sparking fierce backlash. Trump also threatened new tariffs on Canadian exports, reigniting major trade tensions. With over 80% of Canadian exports headed to the U.S., the move could disrupt industries and escalate economic strain on both sides of the border.

NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, 36, was killed while confronting a gunman in a deadly Midtown Manhattan shooting on Monday evening. The Bangladeshi immigrant officer died heroically defending New Yorkers inside a skyscraper near Rockefeller Centre. The shooter, 27-year-old Shane Tamura, killed four—including Islam—before turning the gun on himself. Islam, a Bronx-based officer since 2021, is survived by his wife, two children, and an unborn child. Mayor Eric Adams hailed him as a hero. The investigation into Tamura’s motive is ongoing.

During a fiery press conference in Florida, President Donald Trump threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him as "anti-Israel" and claiming he may be in the U.S. illegally. The dramatic statement came just hours after Mamdani’s primary win was certified. Trump threw his support behind current Mayor Eric Adams, stating he had "helped him out a little bit" in the past. The president also criticized Mamdani’s plan to oppose ICE operations in NYC, warning, “If that happens, we’ll have to arrest him.”
This escalating clash between the White House and a local progressive politician could have national consequences.
