Actor sues TikTok
An actor is suing TikTok for using her voice in its text-to-speech function. It converts writing into speech, which can then be played over videos uploaded to the app, often for comedic effect. Bev Standing recorded about 10,000 sentences of audio for the state-backed Chinese Institute of Acoustics research body to use in translations, in 2018. The legal action claims her voice can now be heard in viral videos featuring “foul and offensive language”, causing her reputation “irreparable harm”. ‘Reimburse me’ Standing, from Ontario, Canada, told BBC News no permission had been given for these recordings to be used in […]Read more...

Apple’s UK users
Millions of Apple’s UK customers should be compensated for breaches of competition law, a legal action claims. The case, filed with the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), alleges Apple’s 30% commission on app sales is an abuse of dominance and unlawful. Organisers are aiming to include nearly 20 million UK users in the collective action, if it is approved. Those behind the claim say they intend to seek damages of up to £1.5bn. Apple said the legal action was “meritless”. Collective action While the UK does not have the same kind of class-action legal structure as the US, so-called “optout” […]Read more...

NHS app ready
England’s NHS app will be available to use as a vaccine passport from Monday, the government has said – but only for those who have had both doses of the jab.

People can already use the NHS app to: request repeat prescriptions arrange appointments to see their doctor view medical records It […]Read more...

Facebook v Apple:
A new feature is being introduced to iPhones and iPads this week which is causing a huge rift between Apple and Facebook. It will allow device users to say no to having their data collected by apps. Facebook has been put in a spin by this because user data – and the advertising it can generate – is what makes the company so profitable. This update could deal a severe blow to its business model. What’s it about? The row focuses on a unique device identifier on every iPhone and iPad, called the IDFA (identifier for advertisers). Companies which sell […]Read more...

Are Apple and
“Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers.” In 2000, footage of a sweaty, high energy Steve Ballmer, the then chief executive of Microsoft, became a viral hit after he walked on stage and shouted the same word over and over again. It was one of many moments over the last 30 years of a live tech event throwing up a must-see moment. But recently, tech fans have been starved of live launches because of the Covid pandemic. The keynote speeches, the long demos popularised by Apple’s Steve Jobs, among other tech luminaries, have all but disappeared. Instead, almost all tech companies have […]Read more...

The CEO and founder of Epic Games have had a knack for picking the right battles while also shoring up his company’s independence. Fortnite, the company’s blockbuster battle royale game, recently topped more than 15 million concurrent players and has spawned a universe of fandom. Epic challenged established platforms by launching its own digital video game storefront. And the multi-billion dollar company developed the Unreal Engine, a proprietary software for making its own video games that it licenses out to other developers […]Read more...

Google Assistant can
Google Assistant now lets users schedule lights and other devices to turn on and off at specific times with its “scheduled actions” feature, according to Android Police, which cites Google Assistant developer documentation. Google Assistant has worked with Hue and other smart lights for some time, to turn them on and off and to set alarms, but now you can tell your Assistant exactly when you want to turn on lights and other devices in a smart home. One caveat: you have to be really specific if you want to schedule the lights (or other devices) to turn on or […]Read more...
