US Government Sues Adobe For Its Questionable Business Practices
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: business, government
In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, the ongoing controversy surrounding Photoshop and Substance 3D developer Adobe has extended beyond negative social media comments and Twitter Community Notes and into real life, with the company getting sued by the US government on the grounds of the former’s questionable business practices.
The federal court complaint, filed by the Department of Justice following a referral from the Federal Trade Commission, alleges that Adobe has been harming its users by enrolling them in its default subscription plan without clearly disclosing important terms regarding the cancellation process, effectively making one’s attempt to cancel their subscription a massive pain in the back.

America is the undisputed world leader in quantum computing even though China spends 8x more on the technology–but an own goal could soon erode U.S. dominance
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode, economics, finance, government, information science, quantum physics, robotics/AI
When it comes to quantum computing, that chilling effect on research and development would enormously jeopardize U.S. national security. Our projects received ample funding from defense and intelligence agencies for good reason. Quantum computing may soon become the https://www.cyberdefensemagazine.com/quantum-security-is-nat...at%20allow, codebreaking%20attacks%20against%20traditional%20encryption" rel="noopener" class="">gold standard technology for codebreaking and defending large computer networks against cyberattacks.
Adopting the proposed march-in framework would also have major implications for our future economic stability. While still a nascent technology today, quantum computing’s ability to rapidly process huge volumes of data is set to revolutionize business in the coming decades. It may be the only way to capture the complexity needed for future AI and machine learning in, say, self-driving vehicles. It may enable companies to hone their supply chains and other logistical operations, such as manufacturing, with unprecedented precision. It may also transform finance by allowing portfolio managers to create new, superior investment algorithms and strategies.
Given the technology’s immense potential, it’s no mystery why China committed what is believed to be more than https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/sustainable-inclu…n-quantum” rel=“noopener” class=””>$15 billion in 2022 to develop its quantum computing capacity–more than double the budget for quantum computing of EU countries and eight times what the U.S. government plans to spend.
