The story so far
On 2026-10-12, KFF Health News reported that Trump administration health officials had spent more than a year working privately with large technology companies in an unannounced Slack chat room. The companies included Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple and Google. KFF Health News examined thousands of internal messages, meeting transcripts and recordings. It said the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services used the closed forum to give industry leaders direct access to top regulators on federal policy for artificial intelligence in healthcare.
On 2026-10-20, Britain's Competition and Markets Authority proposed requiring Apple to lower the fees it charges. The authority also proposed that Apple remove technical barriers so rival payment services can compete with Apple Pay on the iPhone. The proposal refers to fees until Nov 17. The authority said contactless payments now make up 39% of all payments in the UK, up from 3% a decade ago.
Apple was not the subject of the other story published that day. It concerned Meta's new AI agent, Muse, which researchers at the security firm Claroc said can expose sensitive information when users share conversations through web links.
