YouTube has acquired the broadcasting rights for the Academy Awards from 2029 to 2033.
YouTube and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced a multi-year agreement granting YouTube the rights to live-stream the Academy Awards from 2029 to 2033. This includes the red carpet, behind-the-scenes content, and other related material, all viewable globally via YouTube and on YouTube TV for viewers in the United States.

YouTube stated that it will collaborate with the Academy to develop features to make content more accessible to a global audience, such as subtitles and voiceovers.

Previously, the broadcasting rights for the Academy Awards were held by ABC, a Disney subsidiary. However, declining viewership ratings over the years, coupled with time constraints due to the television broadcast, led to YouTube's online streaming proposal being selected by the Academy.

Leaked Xbox Document Reveals "Disc2Digital" Feature Rollout and PC Expansion for Xbox 360 Legacy Titles According to leaked documentation distributed by Xbox to game developers, a long-rumored feature allowing players to convert physical game discs into digital licenses is scheduled to launch as early as this month following extensive internal testing.

Once converted, players can launch and play the game directly from their digital library without inserting the physical disc into the console. However, if the physical disc is subsequently used on another console such as when lending or reselling the game the digital play entitlement is automatically revoked from the original machine and transferred to the new host console.

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Reveals AI Exploits and Extortion Scheme Behind Recent App Store Removal Following the brief removal of Telegram from Apple’s global App Store over Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) violations, founder Pavel Durov has issued a public statement addressing the root cause of the incident and exposing a sophisticated extortion scheme targeting major platforms. While Telegram resolved the violation and restored the app within a few hours, Durov explained that bad actors had discovered a novel exploitation vector using artificial intelligence. According to Durov, malicious actors used automated AI tools to quietly edit legacy messages deep within historical chat archives. By altering older posts, the illicit content remained hidden from active group members, preventing standard community flags and user reports from triggering. Once the modified content was embedded, the perpetrators attempted to extort money from Telegram under threat of exposure. When Telegra...
