Apple removes Russia’s largest social network from the App Store
VK, the Russian technology conglomerate behind a social network with hundreds of millions of downloads called VKontakte, says that its apps have been removed from Apple’s App Store.
The translated statement says “some VK applications are blocked by Apple” but that it will “continue to develop and support iOS applications.” The Russian Ministry of Digital Affairs told state-controlled media outlet RT that it was investigating “the reasons for deleting VK applications and developer accounts, underlining the social significance and scale of use of the services provided by the Russian company.” The apps are still available on Google’s Play Store.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, its government has blocked several American social media sites,…

Instagram Removes Pornhub’s Account
Instagram has suspended Pornhub’s widely followed account on the social platform. Before the sex site’s account was removed from Instagram, Pornhub had 13.1 million followers and more than 6,200 posts.
Reps for Meta, Instagram’s parent company, did not respond to a request for comment.
The move comes one month after Visa and Mastercard cut off payment privileges of TrafficJunky, the advertising arm of Pornhub parent company MindGeek. That followed a federal court ruling in July rejecting Visa’s request to be removed from a case in which MindGeek is being sued for allegedly distributing child pornography and that alleges Visa knowingly facilitated MindGeek’s ability to monetize the illegal content… In June, MindGeek CEO Feras Antoon and COO David Tassillo resigned. The Montreal, Quebec-based company also laid off an unknown number of employees.
The article notes that two dozen individual plaintiffs sued Pornhub and MindGeek last year alleging, among other things, “exploitation and monetization of child pornography.”

YouTube removes video that tests Tesla’s Full Self-Driving beta against real kids
YouTube has removed a video that shows Tesla drivers carrying out their own safety tests to determine whether the EV’s (electric vehicle) Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities would make it automatically stop for children walking across or standing in the road, as first reported by CNBC.
The video, titled “Does Tesla Full-Self Driving Beta really run over kids?” was originally posted on Whole Mars Catalog’s YouTube channel and involves Tesla owner and investor, Tad Park, testing Tesla’s FSD feature with his own kids. During the video, Park drives a Tesla Model 3 toward one of his children standing in the road, and then tries again with his other kid crossing the street. The vehicle stops before reaching the children both times.

Apple Removes Network Locations Feature in macOS Ventura
Given that macOS Ventura is still in beta, there is always a chance that Network Locations could return at some point, but this seems unlikely given that Apple marked Tyler Loch’s bug report about the feature’s absence as “works as currently designed.”
In a support document, Apple says the Network Locations feature could be useful in circumstances such as those listed below:
– You use the same type of network (such as Ethernet) at work and at home, but the settings you use at work don’t allow your Mac to automatically connect to the same type of network at home.
– Your Mac connects to more than one type of network service (such as both Wi-Fi and Ethernet) at work and at home, but at work you want your Mac to try connecting to the Ethernet network first, and at home you want your Mac to try connecting to the Wi-Fi network first. In other words, you want to set a different service order for each location.
– Your Mac isn’t connecting to your network and you want to quickly reset your network settings for testing purposes, without losing your current network settings.
Snell says Apple’s command-line tool “networksetup” is still present in the latest macOS Ventura beta, so a third-party developer could step in and release an app to replace the Network Locations functionality removed in the System Settings app.

Apple Removes ‘Hide My Email’ Support in Third-Party Apps From macOS Ventura Features Page
Apple’s website said that you would be able to “keep your personal email address private with Hide My Email in third‑party apps” with an iCloud+ subscription. It is unclear why Apple delisted the feature or if it is still planned for macOS Ventura’s release later this year. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The feature is still listed on the macOS Ventura page in many other countries, but Apple is typically slower at updating its website in other regions.
Hide My Email was first introduced on the Mac with macOS Monterey last year. The feature can generate unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox, allowing you to hide your actual email address for increased privacy. On macOS Monterey, the feature is limited to Apple apps like Safari and Mail.
Hide My Mail is included with iCloud+ storage plans, which start at $0.99 per month in the U.S. The feature is also available when creating an account in Safari using the “Sign in with Apple” feature. In the Mail app on macOS Monterey version 12.1 and later, Hide My Mail can be found in a pop-up menu in the “From” field.
