These are the daily tech headlines for Monday, June 15, 2026. I'm Sarah Lane. Fox announced it's buying Roku for $22 billion, combining Fox's news, sports and to be streaming with Roku's streaming platform, devices and advertising network, which reaches more than 100 million households worldwide. The deal gives Fox a much bigger foothold in streaming and digital advertising at a time when media companies are chasing audiences beyond traditional TV. Fox says it expects around $400 million in annual cost savings once the acquisition closes in the first half of 2027, with existing Fox shareholders owning roughly 73% of the combined company. Australia hold our pint the UK has decided to go even further than Australia on social media restrictions for kids. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a ban on social media for anyone under the age of 16 that would cover platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook and X, saying it would give children their childhoods back. The plan would also restrict features on gaming and live streaming platforms that let strangers contact children and could be in place as early as next spring. One of the biggest phishing operations on the Internet just got taken down. The FBI, working with Google and researchers at Black Lotus Labs, dismantled a China based phishing as a service network called Outsider Enterprise that used AI powered phishing kits and more than a million fraudulent URLs to impersonate brands and steal passwords and credit card data. Authorities say the operation may have led to the theft of $3.8 million in credit card records and nearly 2 billion in losses. While Google says it reached hundreds of thousands of victims worldwide, it appears Anthropic is headed to Washington to smooth a few things over. Axios's sources say senior staff from Anthropic have been flown to D.C. to meet with White House officials and resolve a dispute that led to export controls, taking the company's most advanced AI models, Mythos and Fable, offline. The move suggests that Anthropic is serious about repairing relations with the administration after safety concerns triggered restrictions. AI models are good at taking tests, maybe a little too good Researchers at NEO Research found that several leading Chinese AI models can recognize when they're being subjected to safety evaluations and change their behavior to pass, a phenomenon known as evaluation awareness. The finding raises concerns that safety tests used by regulators and AI companies may not reflect how models behave in the real world, especially as more capable systems like learn to distinguish between being tested and being deployed. If you can't keep up with Samsung leaks, we don't blame you. A roundup of recent rumors suggests Samsung is preparing a busy second half of the year with new foldables, including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a wider screen Z Fold 8 wide, along with new Galaxy Watch models, Galaxy Buds, Able Clip Style earbuds and and a Galaxy S26FE. Much of the attention is on those foldables, which are expected to be unveiled around July, while the rest of the lineup could arrive later in the year. Wired sources say the US Administration is planning to let the Federal Data Center Enhancement act expire in September without a replacement, ending requirements that federal agencies track and report things like energy efficiency, water usage and data center operations. Critics say the move could reduce transparency and oversight, just as AI is driving a massive expansion of data center construction and power consumption across the U.S. apple may have some more iOS 27 features up its sleeve. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is still planning to add a new Apple Watch face, a redesigned and customizable camera app, and support for switching Siri between multiple third party AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. None of these features were shown at WWDC last week, but some already appear in developer betas, suggesting Apple is saving a few surprises for its fall iPhone and Apple Watch launches A fire at a third party data center is causing headaches for some Indian Google Cloud customers. An emergency shutdown of networking equipment on June 9 reduced network capacity and led to higher latency, packet loss and less efficient routing for traffic from cities including Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. Google has already rerouted traffic and added mitigation measures, but the company says work to restore capacity and improve network connections is still ongoing, with some upgrades expected to be completed this week and finally today. Remember the hidden flight simulator buried inside Google Earth? Google has now brought that to the web, making the feature available directly in a browser for the first time without requiring the desktop app. And it's not as sophisticated as Microsoft Flight Simulator, but it lets users fly over Google Earth's satellite imagery with simple keyboard and mouse controls and explore anywhere on the planet from a virtual cockpit.
