He warned that the incident exposes a systemic vulnerability for any app hosting user-generated content, saying no app is safe if one used by over a billion people can be removed without prior notice. Durov accused the extortionists of manipulating Apple into overreacting to the planted content. Apple had not responded to media requests for comment at the time of reporting.

Tom DeLay disputes Trump FCC's authority to repeal 39% TV ownership cap

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is challenging the Trump-era FCC's claim that it has the authority to eliminate the 39% national television ownership cap. DeLay argues the limit carries special weight because it was explicitly written into law by Congress, not simply established by the FCC as a regulatory rule. The 39% cap restricts how large a share of the national TV audience a single broadcast company can reach. DeLay, who was instrumental in getting Congress to codify the limit, contends that only Congress — not the FCC — has the power to repeal it. The dispute raises broader questions about the boundaries of regulatory agency authority versus legislative intent.

Samsung's 2026 TV lineup will be the first to support the new format. The company has not yet disclosed how many titles will be available at launch, though Amazon's series Ride or Die appeared in promotional materials.
