Nintendo has emerged victorious in its ongoing legal battle against Dstorage, a French company accused of hosting pirated Nintendo games on its file-sharing platform, 1fichier.com. A French Court confirmed that Dstorage failed to remove unauthorized copies despite prior warnings, upholding its initial ruling and ordering the company to pay Nintendo $1.13 million.
Meanwhile, the iconic content aggregator Digg is set to make a comeback under the guidance of its co-founder Kevin Rose and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. Acquiring the platform, which once boasted 40 million monthly visitors, they are optimistic about revitalizing it with artificial intelligence-driven features aimed at tackling misinformation and enhancing user experience.
As Digg prepares to launch its revamped version, the duo aims to leverage their extensive social media expertise to restore the platform’s early charm. With an AI-driven curation process, they hope to create a safer online environment as they challenge larger players in the social media landscape. The new CEO, Justin Mezzell, is also strategizing on ways to attract engagement amidst fierce competition.
