🇪🇺 EU accuses Meta and TikTok of breaching digital law

The European Union has just accused Meta and TikTok of violating the Digital Services Act (DSA) — marking one of its most serious enforcement moves yet.

Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok allegedly failed to provide researchers access to data that was required, and Meta’s platforms were also cited for making it harder for users to flag illegal content or appeal moderation decisions.

Both companies now have the right to respond before potential fines of up to 6% of global revenue (which for Meta would be approximately 11.52B in 2025). Meta says it’s already introduced new reporting tools and appeal systems since the DSA took effect, while TikTok argues the EU’s demands conflict with existing GDPR data protections.

💼 OpenAI turns ChatGPT into a workplace search engine

OpenAI has launched Company Knowledge, a new ChatGPT feature that helps users search across their organization’s data — from Slack and Google Drive to SharePoint and GitHub — without leaving the chat window.

Available for Business, Enterprise, and Education users, the feature is powered by GPT-5 and designed to make ChatGPT act like a conversational search engine for work or school. Each answer includes citations showing exactly where the information came from, letting users verify results before acting on them.

The update builds on earlier beta integrations and can now pull from multiple data sources at once, even resolving conflicting details across files or messages. Anthropic rolled out a similar “Skills” feature for Claude earlier this month, highlighting the growing race to make AI agents truly context-aware.

While Company Knowledge can’t browse the web or create visuals yet, it marks another step toward turning ChatGPT into an all-in-one workspace assistant.

🕶️ Samsung takes on Apple’s Vision Pro with the new Galaxy XR headset

Samsung has officially entered the mixed-reality race with Galaxy XR — a high-end headset built to rival Apple’s Vision Pro.

What’s happening:

  • The Galaxy XR runs on Google’s Android XR platform and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip.

  • Priced at $1,800, it’s nearly half the cost of Apple’s Vision Pro and is now available in the U.S. and Korea.

  • The headset features a micro-OLED display with 27 million pixels (six million more than Vision Pro) and a 90Hz refresh rate.

  • Weighing 545g, it’s considerably lighter than Apple’s 750–800g headset.

  • Samsung emphasizes comfort, citing a new ergonomic frame that balances pressure across the head.

  • Built-in integrations include YouTube, Google Maps, Google Photos, and Gemini voice control. Users can even draw a circle in pass-through mode to search the real world.

Why it matters: Samsung’s launch marks the most serious competition Apple has faced in spatial computing. At half the price, Galaxy XR could make high-end mixed reality more accessible while leveraging Android’s open ecosystem and Google’s AI tools.

The bigger picture: The headset underscores a new three-way race among Apple, Samsung, and Meta to define the post-smartphone era. With Google’s software and Samsung’s hardware, the Galaxy XR could signal the first real push toward an Android-powered metaverse — one where Gemini sits at the center of your immersive workspace.
