Older Pixel Watches Lose Free Cellular Access to Safety Features

Google has announced that LTE versions of the Pixel Watch 2 and 3 will lose free access to the Safety Signal feature. Previously, this allowed critical safety tools to function over cellular networks without an active carrier plan. Starting after December 12th, users will need to maintain a paid mobile plan to keep these safety capabilities active on LTE. Affected users are being notified directly by Google through emails and device alerts.

New York accuses TikTok of serving users ‘placebo’ safety features

New York state authorities have accused TikTok of providing thousands of users, including minors, with non-functional "ghost" versions of safety features. This allegation has surfaced as part of an unsealed update to an ongoing 2024 lawsuit. The lawsuit claims that the platform misled the public and young users into believing they were protected by robust safety controls when, in reality, these features were merely placebo mechanisms that lacked actual functionality.
