A spokesperson for Gates maintained that his decades-old "affair," which was the subject of an investigation, had no connection to his decision to step down from the board.

The maker of Fortnite is suing Apple over the fees it charges in its App Store. Epic must show that Apple abuses its power to hurt competitors and distort an entire market in its favor.

A fight between a Seattle man and AOL in the mid-1990s led to what has been called "the most important Internet law ruling ever." Decades later, the decision still governs how the web functions.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday issued a stunning ruling: It said a decades-old legal shield preventing platforms from lawsuits should not apply to Snapchat in a case involving a fatal car crash.

John Matze, the co-founder and former CEO of Parler, has sued the site's financier, Rebekah Mercer, over his ouster from the company, which he alleges took millions of dollars away from him.

Following Apple's move, Google has slashed commissions by half on purchases made on its mobile app stores. Those fees attracted criticism from small developers, lawmakers and other Big Tech critics.

After Amazon took Parler down over violent messages on the site, no tech services firm would help it come back online. Then an obscure Los Angeles-based company offered to help.

The latest Internet hype is about a thing that doesn't really exist. Some collectors are spending millions of dollars on these digital items called non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.

Former Parler CEO John Matze was stripped of all of his shares in the alternative social media company after a dispute with co-founder Rebekah Mercer. The company was nearing a $1 billion valuation.
