Mark Zuckerberg Grilled in Social Media Trial February 19, 2026 18:09

Mark Zuckerberg will testify in a groundbreaking social media trial that examines if Meta's platforms purposely make children addicted and cause them harm. The CEO of Meta is anticipated to face tough inquiries on Wednesday from lawyers representing a now 20-year-old woman known as KGM. She asserts that her early use of social media made her attached to the technology and increased her feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts. In this case, Meta Platforms and Google's YouTube are the last two defendants, while TikTok and Snap have already settled. Zuckerberg has previously given evidence in other trials and has been questioned by Congress regarding youth safety on Meta's platforms. He expressed regret to families at a hearing who felt their lives had been disrupted by tragedies linked to social media. However, this trial is unique because it is the first occasion where Zuckerberg will respond to similar inquiries in front of a jury. Bereaved parents are likely to fill some of the limited public seating in the courtroom. This case, along with two others, is chosen as a bellwether trial, meaning its result could influence how many similar lawsuits against social media companies progress. A Meta representative stated that the company strongly opposes the claims in the lawsuit, asserting they are “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people. ” One of Meta's lawyers, Paul Schmidt, mentioned in his opening statement that while the company acknowledges KGM faced mental health issues, it contests that Instagram was a major contributing factor to these challenges. He highlighted medical documents that indicated a troubled home environment, and both he and a lawyer for YouTube suggested that KGM used their platforms as a way to cope or escape her mental health problems. Zuckerberg's testimony follows that of Adam Mosseri, who leads Meta's Instagram. Mosseri expressed in court that he disagrees with the notion of people being clinically addicted to social media platforms. He asserted that Instagram works diligently to safeguard young users and stated that it’s “not beneficial for the company, in the long run, to make choices that profit us but harm people’s well-being. " Much of Mosseri's interrogation by the plaintiff's attorney, Mark Lanier, focused on cosmetic filters on Instagram that alter users’ appearances, a subject Lanier is expected to bring up again with Zuckerberg. He is also anticipated to encounter questions concerning Instagram’s algorithm, the endless nature of Meta's feeds, and other aspects that the plaintiffs argue are designed to keep users engaged. Additionally, Meta is involved in a different trial in New Mexico that started last week.

Donald J Trump International Airport Coming Soon? February 19, 2026 12:17

The family business of Donald Trump has requested exclusive rights to use his name for airports and related travel services, arguing that this is more about safeguarding the Trump brand than generating income. According to the Associated Press, the Trump Organization, which is now managed by Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, has submitted trademark requests for various forms of the President’s name. In documents sent to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the organization asked for exclusive rights to names like “President Donald J. Trump International Airport," “Donald J. Trump International Airport," and “DJT." The requests also include a broad range of airport-related services and products, such as buses for passengers, luggage, umbrellas, and flight outfits. The organization stated that these requests are important because Trump's name is often wrongly used and called it “the most infringed trademark in the world. " The Trump Organization claimed it does not plan to make money from airports that might use the Trump name, including a suggestion to rename Palm Beach International Airport, which is situated close to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. “To clarify, the President and his family will not get any royalties, licensing fees, or financial benefits from the airport renaming," the organization mentioned in a statement. It explained that the aim was to stop “bad actors" from using the Trump name without permission. These trademark applications appeared alongside reports that Trump considered renaming major transport centers, like Penn Station and Washington Dulles International Airport. Reports indicated that this idea was linked to talks about federal funding for infrastructure projects, but Chuck Schumer dismissed the proposal. Trump later stated that he did not personally bring up the naming idea, saying on social media that it came from “certain politicians and leaders of construction unions. " Schumer also refuted the proposal. Typically, major landmarks in the US are named after presidents years after they leave office or after they pass away. Airports have been named after former presidents, such as John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, only after considerable time has gone by.

Sundar Pichai Announces India-America Subsea Connectivity Initiative February 18, 2026 19:41

Google's CEO Sundar Pichai revealed on Wednesday the India-America Connect Initiative, which will introduce new underwater cable pathways to enhance AI connections between India and the US as well as several places in the southern hemisphere. “We are launching the India-America Connect Initiative, which will provide new underwater cable connections to boost AI links between India and the US and various areas in the southern hemisphere. To take advantage of the opportunities this initiative offers, we should also focus on skill development, which is why we are introducing our most comprehensive training programs here. This includes a new Google AI Professional Certificate program aimed at mastering AI in their jobs," stated CEO Sundar Pichai during a Google event in New Delhi. He further mentioned that India is on an "incredible path" in the field of artificial intelligence and highlighted the company's dedication to collaborating in India's AI growth. “AI represents the largest technological shift of our era," Pichai explained, pointing out its ability to tackle problems on a large scale, such as enhancing healthcare assessments and aiding farmers with immediate notifications. He remarked that India’s diversity, language variety, and strong digital public systems create a "solid base for innovation" and a model for making AI accessible to everyone worldwide. Pichai insisted that adopting AI must focus on trust, safety, and inclusivity. “AI should function across different languages and local situations. It needs to provide tangible benefits that people can depend on. Trust builds when technology is clear, responsible, and outcomes are based on real results," he explained. The India-America Connect initiative is a global digital infrastructure project launched by Google to enhance high-capacity connections between India, the United States, and several regions in Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Southern Hemisphere. Supported by Google’s planned $15 billion investment in AI infrastructure in India over five years, the initiative aims to improve network coverage, dependability, and resilience through new underwater cables, fibre-optic paths, and international landing points. A significant aspect involves setting up a new international underwater gateway in Visakhapatnam, in addition to several underwater connections that will link India with Singapore, South Africa, and Australia, along with important land fiber routes connecting the US and India. This initiative aims to make India a key global center for connectivity while decreasing reliance on current cable landing sites like Mumbai and Chennai. “Working with local partners, America-India Connect will create a new international underwater gateway in Visakhapatnam (Vizag); three additional underwater pathways connecting India to Singapore, South Africa, and Australia; and four important fiber-optic routes that enhance the resilience and capacity of networks between the United States, India, and various spots in the Southern Hemisphere,” said Brian Quigley, VP, Global Network Infrastructure, Google Cloud, in a blog. He mentioned that the company is building a direct fiber-optic route from Vizag to Chennai on India’s eastern coast leading to South Africa. When this is combined with the Equiano and Nuvem underwater cable systems, it will create a backup high-capacity route linking the US east coast around Africa to Vizag. Furthermore, there will be a direct link from Vizag to Singapore. When joined with the Bosun and Tabua underwater cable systems, this will form a South Pacific route connecting the US west coast via Australia to Vizag. “These investments will make Vizag a significant international underwater gateway, providing essential diversity from the current landings in Mumbai and Chennai. For a country with over 1 billion residents, this will enhance the strength of India’s digital infrastructure and boost economic stability,” Quigley explained.

Chinese robot dog fiasco in AI Summit: Galgotias University asked to Vacate February 18, 2026 18:29

Galgotias University, located in Noida, was instructed on Wednesday to leave the India AI Impact Summit right away after a situation arose regarding the university showcasing a Chinese robodog as its own, according to sources. This decision followed significant backlash the university received on social media after the robotic dog, which was shown at its booth as a creation of the institution, was discovered to be a product from China that is available on the market. Although the university insisted that it never stated it had created the machine, it initially claimed that it had not received any orders to vacate. Nonetheless, India Today confirmed that Galgotias was indeed leaving its spot at the AI Summit Expo taking place at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. This incident left the government embarrassed after the opposition accused it of allowing the showing of "Chinese products" at the India AI Summit. The issue arose when Galgotias University presented a surveillance robot dog called "Orion" at the AI Summit in Delhi. A widely shared video features a university professor, Neha Singh, showcasing the robodog and asserting that it was developed through the university's Rs 350 crore AI project. She mentioned proudly that the robodog could perform surveillance while independently moving around the campus. The device gained more attention when it appeared in a video titled India's 'Sovereign Models,' shared by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. However, it turned out that the robot dog was actually a Chinese product named Unitree Go2 and not an innovation created by the university. The Unitree Go2 is a readily available, mass-produced robodog that can be purchased for around $2,800 (Rs 2.3 lakh). Unitree is a robotics company from China known for manufacturing these advanced four-legged robots that can move similarly to real dogs while performing monitoring tasks. It seems that Galgotias did not conduct adequate research or thought it would not be scrutinized. In the era of social media, this is a rather naive assumption. As the situation escalated, the university quickly released a statement. The university declared that it had never claimed to have created the robotic dog and that it was being utilized for educational purposes. "Let us be clear - Galgotias has not built this robodog, nor have we claimed. . . Our students are experimenting with it, testing its limits, and in the process, expanding their own knowledge," the statement mentioned. However, further embarrassment followed for Galgotias. The university's clarification was contested by a community note on X. This note argued that the university's claim of not presenting the robot as its own was false. It stated that during their presentation at the AI Summit, the robot was explicitly referred to as developed by the university. A X account tied to China shared a claim from the university. "An Indian university showcases the Chinese robot Unitree Go2 as its own creation at the AI Summit in Delhi," the message stated. Presenting a product from China as a homegrown achievement at an international summit with foreign officials and tech leaders could harm the country's reputation. On Wednesday, Galgotias tried to manage the fallout and sent its professors to speak with the press. They now want to frame the situation as a misunderstanding. Neha Singh, who has unintentionally become the center of the debate, mentioned that the issue arose due to poor communication. "I accept responsibility for possibly not conveying it correctly. Also, the purpose might not have been clearly understood. An important detail is about the robot dog - we cannot say that we created it," Singh explained. Nitin Kumar Gaur, registrar of Galgotias University, has directly blamed Professor Neha Singh. "This is a mix of two terms, develop and development. We didn’t create it. We contributed to its development. . . I can say that maybe she (Professor Neha) was a bit confused by the terms used," Gaur told ANI. This whole situation has caused many social media users to doubt the university's credibility. A research paper from 2020 related to Galgotias that made controversial statements suggesting sound vibrations could eliminate Covid has come back into focus amid this issue. It will be interesting to see how the university resolves the problems it has caused for itself.

All about Groundhogging, a Dating Trend February 18, 2026 18:09

Being active in the dating scene, do you frequently notice that your current partner resembles your last partner in habits, emotional readiness, and texting style? If you answer yes, it appears you may be experiencing a troubling dating trend common today—groundhogging. Your journey in dating and love is not a repetitive film full of its ups and downs. You might be mentally conditioned to seek or return to the same kind of partner you are likely still trying to get over. Reports show that groundhogging describes a recurring dating trend where individuals continuously find themselves in relationships with similar kinds of people, sharing nearly the same characteristics and warning signs. Different names, but the same actions. Potential for goodness exists, but also likely shared emotional unavailability and distant texting. At first, each new relationship feels unique and exciting. Yet, as time passes and you get to know your partner better, you experience a sense of déjà vu and come to realize that the personality traits and relationship dynamics are largely unchanged. This sense of familiarity with a particular type of partner and the predictable letdowns might be the main reason for this situation. For many experiencing groundhogging, their relationships begin with strong chemistry, leading them to think, "this is the one." However, it ultimately culminates in familiar disputes and behaviors that leave you feeling annoyed. Groundhogging is not something that just happens by chance; it has come to light due to our dating patterns that reveal a clear preference for specific types of partners on dating apps each time. One reason many people feel this trend is prevalent is that individuals often find themselves drawn, either consciously or subconsciously, to what initially excites them rather than seeking healthy and potentially lasting relationships. While this pattern and predictability in behavior may feel wonderful at the start, we often recognize in the back of our minds that it could lead to more heartbreak. People tend to rationalize their choices by convincing themselves about a partner. However, the solution is in making different choices instead of looking for similar traits in a different person and hoping for a new outcome.
