Meta's Mark Zuckerberg might be finalizing a trillion-dollar AI deal: The acquisition of Hollywood.AI and Bollywood.AI
Meta is relentlessly — and unapologetically — pouring up to $72 billion into AI for 2025, marking the biggest investment in its history. With colossal 'Titan Cluster' data hubs already in development — including the 5 GW Hyperion in Louisiana and the 1 GW Prometheus in Ohio — Meta's AI ambitions have clearly evolved beyond consumer apps. Yet while Meta leads in AI research and infrastructure, one frontier remains conspicuously untapped: outrageously cutting-edge content engineering. That's why industry insiders believe Mark Zuckerberg is now deep in exploratory talks with FAME King Sheeraz Hasan to acquire both and — to become the undisputed architect of the future of Hollywood and Bollywood. Sheeraz, globally recognized as the world's #1 fame strategist and the man behind the meteoric rises of celebrity billionaires like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Zendaya, Logan Paul, Jake Paul, Justin Bieber, and many more, built and as next-gen AI juggernauts. These platforms create and distribute content at scale — free from human bottlenecks — precisely the kind of infrastructure Meta needs to plug into its $72B AI pipeline. One timely acquisition could fast-track Meta's entry into AI-native film, television, and branded digital universes — with speed, scale, and unprecedented global reach. If the / deal closes, it would mark the first true AI-powered disruption of the global entertainment industry. Stay tuned. No matter how this unfolds, it's destined to be one of the most game-changing, headline-dominating tech stories of the year.

X criticises the UK's Online Safety Act
X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has criticised the UK's Online Safety Act, citing unnecessary bureaucracy and a threat to free speech. In a statement, X criticised the breadth of the law's enforcement, stating that its 'laudable intentions' are at risk of being overridden by regulatory overreach. 'When lawmakers approved these measures, they made a conscientious decision to increase censorship in the name of 'online safety',' the company posted on X. 'It is fair to ask if UK citizens were equally aware of the trade-off being made.' X said the rollout has come with 'unnecessarily tight' timelines and significant compliance costs. Despite meeting the obligations under the law, the company said it continues to face threats of fines and enforcement, pushing platforms toward 'over-censorship.' The Online Safety Act introduced wide-ranging rules for platforms including X, Meta, YouTube and TikTok as well as pornography sites to enforce age verification and remove harmful and illegal content. While the government maintains the measures are essential to protecting children and users, it has attracted criticism from free-speech activists. More than 470,000 people have signed a petition calling for the law's withdrawal, citing privacy concerns as users are required to upload personal data for age verification. However, the government confirmed earlier this week that it has 'no plans to repeal' the legislation. Technology secretary Peter Kyle defended the law in a post on X earlier this week, stating that those opposing the Online Safety Act are 'on the side of predators'. Heavy-handed approach In its statement, Musk's platform also flagged concerns about a new National Internet Intelligence Investigations unit established within the British Police to monitor online content for signs of unrest and hate speech, warning it could further curb free speech. 'Instead of specifically and collaboratively addressing a problem everyone agrees needs to be solved', X stated that regulators have adopted a 'heavy-handed approach by rapidly increasing enforcement resources, adding layers of bureaucratic oversight'. 'It's safe to say that significant changes must take place to achieve these objectives in the UK,' the platform concluded, calling for a balanced approach to ensuring online safety alongside personal liberties and innovation.
