Women's Health Startups File EU Complaints Over Big Tech Censorship
Six women's health startups, including Bea Fertility, HANX, and Daye, have filed formal complaints with the European Commission, accusing major online platforms such as Meta, Google, Amazon, and LinkedIn of systemic bias and discrimination in content moderation. Led by the CensHERship advocacy campaign and investment portfolio The Case For Her, the complaints invoke the Digital Services Act (DSA) to challenge unfair restrictions, shadowbanning, and ad rejections targeting women's health content. Evidence includes a 2025 Center for Intimacy Justice report showing high rates of ad rejections on Meta, Amazon, and Google, as well as significant revenue losses for affected businesses. The campaign urges the EU to investigate platform policies, demand transparent and non-discriminatory advertising guidelines, and establish effective appeal mechanisms.
Highlights systemic bias in content moderation across major platforms affecting advertisers, potentially leading to DSA enforcement and changes in advertising policies.

Musk's Grok Bot to Use Rival AI Models Like Claude
Elon Musk announced that Grok Bot, an agent app from his AI unit (formerly xAI, now part of SpaceX and recently renamed SpaceXAI/SpaceXSI), will no longer rely solely on its own Grok models. Instead, it will pick 'the best back-end model for the respective task,' citing examples such as Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, Midjourney, and Suno. The announcement, first reported by The Information, follows user complaints about access issues. This strategic shift acknowledges that xAI's models don't lead in all areas—for instance, Claude Opus 5.5 outperforms competitors on the Artificial Analysis ranking. The move mirrors a broader industry trend of multi-model routing, as seen with Microsoft's Copilot and Perplexity, and comes despite reports of SpaceX planning $40 billion in debt for Nvidia chips.
