Apple removes ICEBlock from the App Store after the Trump administration's demand, Strava sues Garmin in a bizarre patent infringement lawsuit, and Threads is getting a 'communities' feature for better conversations

About this episode

-Apple has removed ICEBlock from the app store.  The app allowed users to put a pin on a map to show where ICE agents have recently been spotted. It has also pulled other apps that served a similar purpose. -Fitness tech appears to be having a strange spat. Earlier this week, Strava filed a lawsuit alleging that Garmin infringed on its patents for two features related to tracking exercise routes: segments and heatmaps. It's also claiming that Garmin violated a Master Cooperation Agreement by developing its own heat map feature. -Now that Threads has grown to more than 400 million users, Meta is adding more features that could help the platform establish an identity. The company is testing a new "communities" feature that creates dedicated spaces for people to chat about specific topics and interests. Learn more about your ad choices.
