These are the daily tech headlines for Monday, December 1st, 2025. I'm Jen Kutter. New York is the first state to create a law requiring retailers to disclose when prices are set using AI and customers personal data, commonly referred to as surveillance pricing. The disclosure must state this price was set by an algorithm using your personal data. In an interview, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel of the National Retail Federation, Stephanie Martz said, I wish I understood what harm exactly lawmakers think they are solving. The National Retail Federation challenged the law over First Amendment grounds, but federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff allowed the law to move forward. Similar bills are pending in at least 10 other states, Reuters reports. India's Telecom ministry privately asked smartphone manufacturers to preload all new devices with a state owned security app that cannot be deleted. The Nov. 28 government order, as seen by Reuters, gives manufacturers 90 days to ensure the Sanchar Sathi app is pre installed on all new devices and devices already in the supply chain should have the app pushed along with software updates. The government says the app aids in preventing cyber threats, helps police trace devices and assists in tracking and blocking stolen phones. Also, India's Department of Telecommunications issued directions for app based communication service providers to disable access for users without a SIEM. The directive was sent to WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Aratai, Snapchat, Sharechat, Geochat and Josh, requiring the platforms to link SIM cards to the services within 90 days. Platforms accessible through websites must ensure users are logged out periodically and given the option to relink accounts through a QR code based method. The Cellular Operators association of India supports SIM binding to help reduce spam and fraudulent communication. Last week, Switzerland's Conference of Data Protection Officers called on Swiss public bodies to avoid software as a service and hyperscale clouds over security concerns, especially those covered by the U.S. cloud Act. The resolution states most software as a service solutions do not currently offer true end to end encryption and and can unilaterally change their terms and conditions which may further Degrade Security. Microsoft 365 was specifically named as an inappropriate service. Mozilla is testing an Add Note feature in Firefox Nightly. The experimental version of the browser. Notes can be added to any tab, which will then add a clickable notepad icon next to the tab title in order to access it again. The feature is built into the Nightly version and does not require downloading any extensions in this current phase of the test. Notes will disappear when the browser is restarted. Netflix removed the ability for phones to cast to TVs unless it's through specific older generation casting devices. The updated Netflix help page states casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV streaming devices is no longer supported and users should use Netflix with the remote that came with their smart TV or streaming device for access. Netflix subscribers on an ad supported plan are blocked from streaming from phones even if they have an older streaming compatible device like the Chromecast models without remotes or TVs. With Google Cast on an earnings call, Dell COO Jeffrey Clark said 500 million PCs capable of running Windows 11 have not upgraded from Windows 10 and another 500 million computers are four years old or older and unable to upgrade due to hardware limitations. The COO calls this an opportunity to sell AI ready machines and encourage upgrades, but also expects the PC market to be relatively flat in 2026. And following comments last week by Epic CEO Tim Sweeney against digital marketplaces requiring a Made with AI label, Threads on the Fortnight subreddit posted many examples of AI generated art and music present in the new season Chapter 7 Pacific Break, which launched this weekend. A notable example features a poster of a yeti with four toes on one foot and five on the other.
