TikTok's in-app browser logs keystrokes, raising new privacy concerns

Social media is a gamble, no matter what you use. For example, Facebook has famously given access to far too much information to companies with API access. Twitter made private information like email addresses and phone numbers accessible to advertisers. TikTok has been in the spotlight for its privacy violations, often related to its owner's relationship with the Chinese government. This week, we have new information related to privacy, stemming from how the company deals with its in-app web browser.

Sega announces unreleased games, arcade ports for Genesis Mini 2

Over the past few years, long-time gaming companies like Nintendo and Sega have gotten into the nostalgia business. These companies have leaned into the demand for retro titles by releasing integrated versions of their previous consoles complete with built-in titles. As these new retro devices start to make an impression on the gaming world, Nintendo and Sega have had to do more to make the newest devices look more attractive. Sega has brought some new tricks to the table this week, as they have announced the lineup for the Sega Genesis Mini 2, and there are some surprising titles coming with it.

Google Search is about to try again to limit clickbait results

Over the past year or so, the quality of search results on Google has decreased significantly. This is, in part, because of websites that create no useful content but are able to game the Google Search algorithm to appear higher in the results. It appears that Google has figured out that people are unhappy and has committed to making changes to improve search results by lowering the ranking for true clickbait results.

Cineworld set to file bankruptcy following lower ticket sales

Many industries were negatively affected by the COVID lockdowns across the world, but a few have not recovered. It is no secret that movie theaters have been having trouble following the lockdowns. Ticket sales have not recovered to their pre-pandemic levels, and in fact, are not even close. Because of this, Cineworld, the world's second-largest theater owner, plans to file for bankruptcy in the coming weeks, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal (subscription required).
