Tencent had announced that it planned to merge Huya and DouYu, China’s two largest online streaming platforms, for the first time last year. Although, this major merger would apparently require the company to accept certain concessions.
According to a Reutersreport, the Chinese tech and social media giant has plans to merge the two streaming platforms, which account for about 80 percent of the entire market that is worth more than 3 billion US Dollars and still growing fast. However, due to the size of the merger, local regulators in China have shown concern as the move would also further grow the dominance of Tencent in the market.
Thus, to have the deal be approved by the authorities, the company is willing to accept certain conditions that it might be subjected to, as per sources close to the matter. Furthermore, the SAMR (or China’s State Administration of Market Regulation) had stated back in December that it was reviewing this merger deal. Unfortunately, Tencent, Huya, DouYu, and even SAMR have yet to comment on this matter or respond to any requests for comment.
The move from the regulators is also a part of the Chinese government’s anti monopoly crackdown on local tech giants. As per one source, the anti trust review against Tencent has been an “elongated process,” although, nothing has been confirmed at the moment. For those unaware, Huya and DouYu are the the first and second most popular online streaming platforms in China. The Chinese company is currently the largest shareholder of Huya with 36.9 percent and also owns about a third of DouYu as well.

Microsoft Corp is apparently in talks to buy Discord, the popular VoIP and messaging platform, for a deal worth more than 10 billion US Dollars, as per sources close to the matter.
According to a Reutersreport, Discord has reached out to potential buyers, with Microsoft being one of the companies that might acquire it, as per the sources. Although, one persons believes that the VoIP and messaging platform would more likely to go public rather than just selling. Recently, it was also reported that the company is exploring a sale and that it was already in final talks with a company.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has declined to comment on the matter, while Discord has yet to respond to any queries either. At the moment, Discord is valued at around 7 billion US Dollars as of December last year. For those unaware, Discord is a platform that serves various purposes, like gaming and its related activities, meanwhile, it can also be used to create virtual parties and meetings as well. Thus, the move from Microsoft is likely a part of its attempt to strengthen its standing in the video game industry.
Furthermore, if the deal goes through, it would be the biggest acquisition of the Xbox maker since its acquisition of ZeniMax Media last year. This also arrives amid the boost in the gaming industry caused by the coronavirus pandemic, which led to the growth of the industry thanks to people staying at home and turning to games for entertainment during the lockdown.

Facebook recently shared a blog post where it spoke on a number of issues. One of the issues discussed is that of privacy and security. The social media giant disclosed that between October and December 2020, it deleted up to 1.3 billion catfish accounts from the social network platform.
Although the proliferation of fake accounts is a major challenge many users encounter as they are more likely to meet a fake account on Facebook than on other social platforms. The major aim of creating fake accounts is to defraud other unsuspecting users. Fake accounts are also created to spread misinformation and such. The company disclosed that it has over 35,000 people working round the clock towards tackling misinformation on its platform. To this end, Facebook says it had also pulled down more than 12 million pieces of content about COVID-19 and vaccines that global health experts flagged as misinformation.
Before social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and others decided to act, there was a rise in false information, conspiracy theories about the coronavirus vaccines, and several false claims. The tactical decision to weed such misinformation was greatly helpful in ensuring people were able to receive the right information about preventing the spread of the virus and also about the rollout of the vaccines.
The disclosure by Facebook of data on misinformation is coming in the wake of a planned inspection by the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The committee is investigating how technology platforms including Facebook are tackling misinformation.

Huawei recently sold off the Honor brand and the company is now being run independently. Soon after splitting from Huawei, Honor had launched its Honor V40 smartphone and today the company launched the Honor V40 Lite Luxury Edition in China.
At the same event, the company has also launched its new tablet, dubbed Honor Pad 7. It features a 10.1-inch Full HD display with a screen-to-body ratio of 80 percent. Further, the screen is certified by TUV Rheinland for eye protection.
To make multitasking easier for the users, the company is offering support for Split Screen for up to four different applications. It allows users to run and use different applications simultaneously. For instance, it can be used to listening to lectures, checking materials, and taking notes — all at the same time.
Tablets have become a go-to device for students and to make the most of this use-case, Honor has provided an Education Center in the device that allows children to concentrate on their learning efforts.
Internally, the device is powered by the MediaTek Helio P22T chipset, which is a major change compared to its predecessor which was powered by Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 710A SoC. The tablet is running the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box.

Xiaomi recently announced that the company will be hosting its 2021 New Product Launch Event on 29th March in China as well as globally. At the time, the company has not revealed what products will get launched.
Now, with a few days to go for the event, the company has officially confirmed that it will launch a couple of variants of the Mi 11 flagship smartphone, namely the Mi 11 Pro and the Mi 11 Ultra. Apart from that, the company will also launch a few more devices.
The company has also shared a teaser poster of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro retail box which doesn’t include a charger in the box. Further, the Chinese brand is calling the “thin and lightweight” smartphone “Android King.”
When Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 smartphone, it didn’t include a charger in the box but there was another variant of the phone at almost the same price which added a charger in the retail box. We expect the company to follow the same with the upcoming devices.
Both the upcoming Mi 11-series smartphones — Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra are expected to come with support for 67W fast charging. When compared with the vanilla variant, it is a step ahead in terms of charging speed.
Xiaomi has reportedly made a GaN charger especially for the two upcoming flagship smartphones and it will be a great deal if the company offers that for free with the purchase of those phones.
Apart from these smartphones, the company will be launching the Mi Notebook Pro laptop at the same event. There will be a few more products getting launched on 29th March but to know more about them, we will have to wait for a few more days.
Samsung, apart from being one of the first device makers to launch a foldable smartphone, also has the most number of foldable smartphones in the market. The company has been trying to improve the design with each iteration and now the South Korean giant is gearing up to launch a new phone.
After launching smartphones with horizontal fold and vertical fold, the company is now planning to launch a new device with a double-folding design. There’s a possibility that the phone could be announced later this year.
Samsung had previously said that it will diversify its portfolio of foldable smartphones in the year 2021 as the company aims to make this category more accessible. Along with a double-folding design, Samsung is also expected to launch a Galaxy Z Fold Lite.
It’s noteworthy that Samsung won’t be the first smartphone maker to work on something like a double-folding design. TCL had showcased its double-folding concept smartphone about a year ago and Xiaomi is also reportedly working on the same.
There are two concept designs of the upcoming Samsung smartphone — one with screen bends in two opposite directions and another with sides folding backward and their edges meeting around the rear panel.
It remains to be seen what the company ends up calling this foldable smartphone and when exactly the device will be launched. We expect to know more about the phone in the coming weeks or months but one thing is for sure — the device won’t be cheap.

Former U.S President Donald Trump who suffered a massive media blackout in the aftermath of the Capitol riots in January that led to the loss of lives may soon unveil his own social networking platform in a few months. One of Trump’s aides, Jason Miller hinted in a Fox News interview that the former president will launch his own social network in about three months.
Donald Trump had endured an anticlimactic last few days as President following his open support for protesters who later overran the Capitol while a session was ongoing to cement his loss to his contender Joe Biden in the Presidential polls. Twitter and Facebook had responded swiftly by blocking him from their platforms on the accusation that he encouraged violence. Millions of his supporters had quit the platforms in support of Trump but the ban had remained.
While the details of this new social network by Trump are not yet available, he will certainly have to overcome several hurdles to establish the platform. There would be both regulatory and operational challenges that must be overcome for Trump’s plans to become reality. Although he might have a strong conservative support base that may form the backbone of this new social network, it remains to be seen whether this is another of Trump’s usual theatrics and alternative facts or a real response to the humiliation and isolation he suffered in the last days of his presidency.
Part of the stumbling blocks that must be overcome is the fact that Trump had become a sort of heavy-duty public personality and may not be able to muster the much-needed support of companies who had publicly severed ties with him in the aftermath of the Capitol incident, in terms of provision of cloud services.
There are also regulations in force that will seriously limit Trump’s ability to float the social network. The coming months will therefore reveal whether the dream will become a reality or if we have to wait much longer, or forever!
