3. X Gets Steamy: Platform Now Allows AI-Generated Adult Content

Social media platform X is shaking things up by allowing consensual NSFW content with clear labels. This aligns with Elon Musk's push for free speech, but protects younger users. It's a potential game-changer for adult content creators, possibly rivalling OnlyFans. X could become an "everything app" offering a wider range of content, boosting its revenue. While X never banned porn outright, these changes could be a big step towards becoming a one-stop shop, similar to China's WeChat.

4. Windows' "Recall" Feature Under Fire: Security Experts Call it a Nightmare

Microsoft's new feature Recall screenshots EVERYTHING you do on your PC. While it lets you search past activities, experts warn it's a privacy disaster! Data is stored unencrypted, making it easy for malware to steal your info. Microsoft says it's secure, but experts found the database is accessible and stored in plain text. Recall is enabled by default on new PCs, raising concerns for privacy advocates. Microsoft may need to rework or scrap Recall altogether.
