The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a lawsuit against Amazon, alleging the company violated rules by using so-called dark patterns. Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson announced the company will restructure its studios, citing an effort to “empower our creative teams.” And is the metaverse taking off outside of North America? RestofWorld reports that Indonesia’s tvOne broadcast channels have been using a digital reporter called Nadira.

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
