In a separate decision on Thursday, the\u00a0European Commission<\/a> also said four pornographic websites were failing to prevent minors seeing adult content. The investigations into five tech companies were brought under the EU\u2019s Digital Services Act (DSA), which has come under fire from Donald Trump since coming into force two years ago.<\/p>\n

Apple<\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0released iOS 26.4<\/a>, ushering in a range of changes for your iPhone, including some new features for Apple CarPlay.

The co-owner of Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has threatened to stop building broadband in the UK if the telecoms giant\u2019s \u00a32bn takeover of Netomnia is blocked. Mike Fries, the chief executive of Liberty Global, which owns\u00a0VMO2<\/a> alongside Telef\u00f3nica, warned he could pull the plug on investment if regulators give in to criticism by blocking the deal to buy their rival. The complex transaction, agreed last month, will see Liberty Global and Telef\u00f3nica team up with InfraVia, a French private equity firm, to buy Netomnia. Telegraph \"\"<\/a>Sony<\/a>\u00a0has just taken the wraps off two new TVs, but if you were expecting a new QD-OLED to replace the\u00a0Bravia 8 II<\/a>\u00a0or a successor to the\u00a0Bravia 9<\/a>, you might be disappointed. That\u2019s because these two new models are both budget-oriented \u2013 and one of them came out in the US last year. The genuinely new TV is the Bravia 3 II which, as the name suggests, replaces the three-star\u00a0Bravia 3<\/a>. The good news is that the Bravia 3 II features several upgrades over its predecessor. The most eye-catching of these upgrades is the introduction of four\u00a0HDMI 2.1<\/a> sockets. WhatHiFi<\/a><\/p>\n
