Also, Spotify inks new deals enthusiastically adding more audiobooks even though bundled subscriptions are pushing down music royalties and we have a new court case on rights reversion is the US.

Also a month on from Meta dumping fact-checking and Australian young people are concerned about misinformation and Google quietly dropped its commitment to not use its AI to make weapons
