The brief, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California but is not yet public, reportedly claims the study, called Project Mercury, was initiated in 2019 and was meant to explore the impact of apps on polarization, news-consumption habits, "well-being, and daily social interactions." Plaintiffs in the suit say social media companies were aware that these platforms had a negative impact on the mental health of children and young adults but did not act to prevent it.

The suit raises a host of questions. Is Perplexity's agent a rogue buyer with unacceptable security risks, or is Amazon bullying an insurgent competitor out of the game?

If you have a mobile phone, you have no doubt seen some dodgy texts. They might declare that you have an overdue road toll, and urge you to "Click here to pay." Or maybe they inform you that there's a package waiting, but the address is wrong; "Click here to fix it." More often than not, these texts are scams.

"We are going to tear apart HI. It's going to be the easiest thing to do." That's Brandon Sterri texting his brothers on January 29. According to the complaint, Brandon and his brother Brian were, at that moment, still drawing paychecks from Human Interest, still logging into their company-issued laptops every morning beneath reminders that access was "limited to authorized personnel," and that they'd agreed "to protect confidential data."
