Nigerian tribunal upholds $220 million fine against Meta for violating consumer, data laws
ABUJA (Reuters) -A $220 million fine against Meta Platforms by Nigeria's competition watchdog for violating local consumer, data protection and privacy laws has been upheld following an unsuccessful appeal, Nigeria's Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal said on Friday.
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) fined Meta last July for discriminatory and exploitative practices against Nigerian consumers, compared with other jurisdictions with similar regulations.

Bog Apple: NYC discovers stand-alone toilet pods
NEW YORK: Faced with closed restrooms, vandalized facilities and lavatory deserts, New Yorkers and visitors to the city alike confront a host of hurdles to relieve themselves when out and about. In its latest efforts to combat this problem, the Big Apple has turned to a Portland-based company that designs modular public conveniences it claims are city-proof. The products, dubbed 'Portland Loos,' are the brainchild of Madden Fabrication and have garnered something of a cult following around the versatile, kiosk-like facilities which the company says are far cheaper than traditional toilet buildings. Such public toilet pods have already been installed in 250 locations throughout the United States. New York has pledged to build 49 new public bathrooms by 2029 to combat the lack of toilets across the five boroughs. Currently, there are approximately 1,100 public conveniences for the megacity's 8.4 million people, according to official estimates. - 'Simple but durable' - The city will spend $150 million on building new restrooms and renovating 36 existing sites. At the $200,000 unit installed in the Bronx's Joyce Kilmer park, two blocks from Yankee Stadium baseball park, bystanders eyed the new fixture with interest. One man accidentally activated the hand dryer, part of a sink fitting located on the outside of the booth. A spokesman for the company described the design as 'simple but durable,' with the basin placed outside in order to keep people moving and avoid a 'hotel effect.' 'Hell yeah, we haven't had a bathroom in this area in forever,' said lifelong Bronx resident Carlos Lopez, describing discrepancies in public restroom access between lower-income and wealthier neighborhoods. For the five trial units ordered, New York insisted on a higher grade of stainless steel and other modifications to meet strict planning rules. Street photographer Elijah Dominique, who lives near the park, said public bathrooms were especially important for unhoused people. 'We've got a lot of homeless people in this area,' Dominique said. 'Those are the people who really need these bathrooms. It's good for them -- and for us too so that we're not stepping in (waste) on the sidewalks. Nobody wants that.' - Reuters

Mistral in talks with VC firms, MGX to raise funds at $10 billion valuation, FT reports
A message reading "AI artificial intelligence", a keyboard, and robot hands are seen in this illustration taken January 27, 2025. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/ File Photo (Reuters) -French artificial intelligence startup Mistral is in talks with investors, venture capital firms and Abu Dhabi's MGX to raise $1 billion at a valuation of $10 billion, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The company launched in June Europe's first AI reasoning model, which uses logical thinking to create a response, as it tries to keep pace with American and Chinese rivals at the forefront of AI development. The funding would accelerate the commercial rollout of Mistral's Le Chat chatbot and support continued development of its large language models, the report said. MGX and Mistral did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The startup raised 600 million euros in a Series B funding round that valued the company at 5.8 billion euros last year. Industry observers consider Mistral as Europe's best-positioned AI company to rival Silicon Valley leaders, though the French firm has yet to achieve comparable market traction or revenue scale. Mistral counts Nvidia, Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Venture Partners among its investors. (Reporting by Akash Sriram in Bengaluru; Editing by Alan Barona)

Tesla ordered to pay $243m in fatal Autopilot crash case
MIAMI: A Florida jury has ordered Tesla to pay $243 million in damages over a fatal 2019 crash involving its Autopilot system. The verdict marks a rare legal setback for the electric vehicle maker, which faces growing scrutiny over its self-driving technology. Jurors awarded $129 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages to the estate of Naibel Benavides Leon and her former boyfriend Dillon Angulo. Tesla was found 33% liable for compensatory damages, amounting to $42.6 million, while the driver, George McGee, was deemed 67% responsible. 'Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled-access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere,' said plaintiffs' attorney Brett Schreiber. 'Today's verdict represents justice for Naibel's tragic death and Dillon's lifelong injuries.' Tesla announced plans to appeal, calling the verdict 'wrong' and claiming it undermines automotive safety innovation. The company argued the crash resulted solely from driver error, stating, 'No car in 2019, and none today, would have prevented this crash.' Legal experts say the ruling could encourage more lawsuits against Tesla, which has previously settled similar cases out of court. 'This is the first time Tesla has been hit with a judgment in one of the many fatalities linked to Autopilot,' noted Marquette University law professor Alex Lemann. The case stems from a 2019 incident where McGee's Model S struck a parked Chevrolet Tahoe at 62 mph (100 kph). Benavides Leon died from her injuries, while Angulo sustained permanent disabilities. Investigators said McGee was distracted by a dropped phone and ignored traffic signals. Despite Tesla's insistence that Autopilot was not at fault, jurors found the software contributed to the crash. 'The only way the jury could have ruled against Tesla was by finding a defect with Autopilot,' said autonomous technology expert Philip Koopman. The verdict comes as Tesla seeks to expand its robotaxi business amid declining EV sales. Analysts warn the ruling may complicate CEO Elon Musk's efforts to position Tesla as a leader in autonomous driving. - Reuters
