Six months after RCS messaging became available on the iPhone, the Global System for Mobile Communications association, or GSMA for Short announced that the latest RCS standard now includes end to end encryption based on the Messaging Layer Security protocol, which will enable iPhone and Android users to end to end encrypted RCS messages in the near future. This interoperable encryption between different platform providers was developed in collaboration with mobile operators, device manufacturers and technology providers, including Apple, and will prevent third parties from viewing the content of RCS text. China has joined the EU and US in the fight against disinformation by introducing new regulations that mandate the labeling of AI generated content. The the Cyberspace Administration of China, along with three other agencies, announced that the service providers will be required to explicitly label AI generated material or encode metadata within each file to indicate its origin. These rules, effective September 1, aim to address the growing concerns surrounding misinformation arising from the rapid advancement of generative AI technologies, which encompass various applications such as essay writing, image generation and voice impersonation. The UK government's secret order to Apple demanding a backdoor into the end to end encrypted iCloud storage service faces challenges from civil rights groups Liberty and Privacy International. These groups, joined by Privacy International's executive director Gus Hosin and civil liberties advocate Ben Wisner, have filed complaints deeming the order unacceptable and disproportionate, with potential global consequences as it may extend to non UK users. They've instructed the law firm Lee Day to challenge Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's decision to serve Apple with a technical capability no notice under the Investigatory Powers Act. The secret order's existence only surfaced through press reports last month. A bipartisan group of US lawmakers, including Senator Ron Wyden, has urged UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal to hold an open hearing regarding Apple's anticipated challenge of an alleged secret UK government legal demand.

Additionally, their letter contends that the alleged UK order prevents Apple from engaging in speech protected by US law and hinders the lawmakers ability to conduct congressional oversight. Apple is developing new AirPods features that will allow the earbuds to translate in person conversations into another language in real time, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Google is rolling out a fix for Chromecast second generation and Chromecast audio devices that were disabled due to untrusted device errors, which appeared over the weekend and may have been caused by an expired certificate. Google says the fix will be rolled out over the next few days and devices must be connected to receive the update, but devices that were factory reset may still be unable to be reset up. Google is working to officially resolve this issue as well, however, a Reddit user has shared steps that can be tried in the meantime.
