EU fines Google $1 billion over its search and Play Store
European Union regulators fined Google €890 million last Thursday, saying the company broke the bloc’s digital competition law.
The penalty, worth about $1 billion, closes two investigations the European Commission opened in March 2024. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, takes in roughly that much revenue in a day.

For two years, a lone activist went undercover inside two domestic terrorist organizations in the United States, rising through the ranks to try to gain intel and leak it to the media. His goal was ultimately to weaken them and bring them down.
In the first episode of our new series, Witness Protection, the activist gave us an exclusive inside account of how he infiltrated the organizations and the complex techniques he used to stay safe.

Europe has found itself in a difficult and dangerous situation.
Last August, Proton’s Europe tech sovereignty report revealed that over 74% of publicly listed European companies depend on US infrastructure for their basic tech services.
Whether sending emails or running critical infrastructure in the cloud, Europe places its digital destiny in the hands of a few American service providers and the government they answer to.
That report now seems even more prescient...

The bug corrupts Android's network stack at the system level after a VPN update, causing users to blame their VPN provider.
Restarting the app doesn't help, with the only fix being a full device reboot or VPN app reinstall, something which most users never figure out.
This affects several VPN providers on Android 16, and only Google has the access to diagnose it properly.
After 7 months of waiting, we're now asking publicly: Google, when are you fixing this?

2026-03-24 11:25:26 UTC

Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background.
If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it.
We first reported this bug to Google in September 2025.
Others like @nprofile…0a0c and Wireguard reported it even earlier, in August.
Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual."
Here's what's actually happening ⤵️
