Fortnite developer claims win against Apple and Google
An Australian court has found Apple and Google misused their market power in a dispute with the maker of wildly popular video game Fortnite . Both Apple and Google kicked Fortnite off their respective app platforms in 2020, after the game designed an in-app payments system that cut the tech giants out of the loop. Developer Epic Games retaliated by launching legal action against the tech giants in a string of courtrooms around the world. Australia's Federal Court this week found the tech firms' app-store dominance reduced competition, likely forcing game developers to pay higher commission fees. "This is a WIN for developers and consumers in Australia!" Epic Games said in a statement Tuesday. Justice Jonathan Beach however rejected Epic Games' claims that Apple and Google engaged in unconscionable conduct. A Google spokesperson said the company disagreed with some of the court's findings and would "review the full decision when we receive it and assess our next steps". Australian lawyers have lodged a class action suit seeking compensation from Apple and Google on behalf of game users and developers. "The judgement is a turning point," said Kimi Nishimura from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. "It sends a clear message that even the most powerful corporations must play by the rules and respect the rights of consumers and developers alike." Fortnite is one of the most popular video games in the world, laying claim to hundreds of millions of registered players.

After Trump-Putin meeting, netizens say US President 'deserves Nobel Peace Prize' if…: How social media reacted
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska on Friday for a high-profile meeting, attracting global attention. The meeting began with the two leaders shaking hands on the tarmac, followed by a shared ride in the presidential limousine, known as 'the Beast' to the venue. Both leaders arrived on separate planes, walking along red carpets that met in the middle. During their handshake, Trump was seen patting Putin's hand, signalling a cordial start to the talks. The summit included a three-on-three discussion with top aides from both countries and was held against the backdrop of American F-22 fighter jets and B-2 bombers. While the precise agenda was not fully disclosed, the meeting offered both sides an opportunity for private conversation before formal discussions began. The summit quickly went viral on social media. AI-generated videos, edited images, and memes depicting the leaders in humorous or exaggerated scenarios were widely shared. User @emma6USA posted an AI video of the meeting, which received over 328,000 views. Other posts showed Trump in kneepads or imagined virtual game battles with Putin, generating thousands of reactions. Some social media users poked fun at Trump's appearance and behaviour, while others speculated on the outcomes of the summit. One user joked: 'Trump couldn't even walk in a straight line to greet Putin… looking like a malfunctioning Roomba.' Another commented: 'If Donald Trump negotiates an end to Putin's war on Ukraine without Ukraine having to cede territory, I'll nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize myself.' Another wrote: 'President Trump and President Putin are currently riding together in The Beast. What a historic photo. What a historic moment.' Trump was unable to secure an agreement from Putin to end Russia's war in Ukraine, marking a setback in what had been billed as his most significant diplomatic effort. The two leaders had been expected to hold a joint news conference after their talks, but they took no questions from journalists and shared only limited information. Putin said the discussions produced an 'understanding' on Ukraine, while cautioning Europe not to 'torpedo the nascent progress.' Trump, for his part, described the meeting as having made 'great progress,' though he acknowledged that several sticking points remained.
