Tutao, known for the encrypted email service Tuta Mail, has filed a Digital Markets Act (DMA) complaint to the EU over an alleged de-ranking in Google Search. From a report: Google Search rankings are all too familiar to search engine optimization (SEO) specialists charged with ensuring web pages rise to the top of search results. In the case of Tutao's products -- Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar -- all was going well until the beginning of March 2024, when the company claims tuta.com was abruptly de-ranked in Google Search. Rather than being displayed as a search result of thousands of keywords, the count dropped to the hundreds, the developer alleges.
Matthias Pfau, co-founder of Tuta Mail, said: "This reduction in Google Search took us by surprise as we did not change anything on our website during that time. We tried to reach out to Google about this issue, but were met with radio silence." Google denies the claims. It told The Reg: "Search ranking updates absolutely do not aim to preference Google products, or any other particular website. The email provider in question is easily accessible globally on Search. We appreciate the feedback and will look into how we can ensure Search continues to return the most helpful, relevant results."
Tuta Mail's Pfau claims a change in results mean that when a user searches for "encrypted email," Tuta's products no longer show up. However, he went on to allege that if you search for "Tuta" or "Tutanota," the company appears in the results.

404 Media: Apple has removed a number of AI image generation apps from the App Store after 404 Media found these apps advertised the ability to create nonconsensual nude images, a sign that app store operators are starting to take more action against these types of apps.
Overall, Apple removed three apps from the App Store, but only after we provided the company with links to the specific apps and their related ads, indicating the company was not able to find the apps that violated its policy itself.
Apple's action comes after we reported on Monday that Instagram advertises nonconsensual AI nude apps. By browsing Meta's Ad Library, which archives ads on its platform, when they ran, on what platforms, and who paid for them, we were able to find ads for five different apps, each with dozens of ads. Two of the ads were for web-based services, and three were for apps on the Apple App Store. Meta deleted the ads when we flagged them. Apple did not initially respond to a request for comment on that story, but reached out to me after it was published asking for more information. On Tuesday, Apple told us it removed the three apps on its App Store.

Sam Altman of OpenAI and the chief executives of Nvidia, Microsoft and Alphabet are among technology-industry leaders joining a new federal advisory board focused on the secure use of AI within U.S. critical infrastructure, in the Biden administration's latest effort to fill a regulatory vacuum over the rapidly proliferating technology. From a report: The Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board is part of a government push to protect the economy, public health and vital industries from being harmed by AI-powered threats, U.S. officials said. Working with the Department of Homeland Security, it will develop recommendations for power-grid operators, transportation-service providers and manufacturing plants, among others, on how to use AI while bulletproofing their systems against potential disruptions that could be caused by advances in the technology.
In addition to Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Alphabet's Sundar Pichai and other leaders in AI and technology, the panel of nearly two dozen consists of academics, civil-rights leaders and top executives at companies that work within a federally recognized critical-infrastructure sector, including Kathy Warden, chief executive of Northrop Grumman, and Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Ed Bastian. Other members are public officials, such as Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, both Democrats.

Het is niet meer de vraag of, maar wel wanneer Arne Slot vertrekt bij Feyenoord. De trainer staat voor een overstap naar Liverpool. FC Rijnmond bespreekt de hamvraag: wie moet de uiterst succesvolle trainer opvolgen in De Kuip? Aan tafel zitten Ruud van der Knaap (commercieel directeur Feyenoord), Michiel Kramer en Dennis van Eersel.
Nog één nachtje slapen en de Hollandse driekleur kan gehesen worden, net als de kleedjes uitrollen op de vrijmarkt en een tompouce eten. De belangrijkste vraag die ons allemaal bezighoudt: moet je tijdens Koningsdag een regenjas aan of kan de zonnebril mee? Spoiler alert: allebei.
JERUZALEM (ANP/RTR) - De Israëlische premier Benjamin Netanyahu heeft vrijdag nogmaals benadrukt dat eventuele uitspraken van het Internationaal Strafhof (ICJ) geen invloed hebben op de acties van Israël. Wel benadrukte hij dat ICJ-uitspraken "een gevaarlijk precedent kunnen scheppen".
"Onder mijn leiding zal Israël nooit enige poging van het Internationaal Strafhof in Den Haag accepteren om zijn fundamentele recht op zelfverdediging te ondermijnen", zei Netanyahu in een verklaring op Telegram.
En: "Hoewel beslissingen van de rechtbank in Den Haag geen invloed zullen hebben op de acties van Israël, kunnen ze een gevaarlijk precedent scheppen dat soldaten en publieke figuren bedreigt."
Israël staat naar verluidt op het punt een grondoffensief te beginnen tegen de stad Rafah, in het zuiden van Gaza. De internationale gemeenschap, inclusief Israëls belangrijkste bondgenoot de Verenigde Staten, heeft het land meermaals opgeroepen dat niet te doen vanwege de grote kans op burgerdoden in de dichtbevolkte stad.
