NS&I set to pay millions in compensation to customers

National Savings and Investments (NS&I) is expected to pay hundreds of millions of pounds in compensation to customers who claim there have been failures in managing their money.

The government-backed bank has been accused of a series of errors dating back years, with some bereaved families saying they did not receive money that was rightfully theirs, according to reports in the Daily Telegraph.

Pensions Minister Torsten Bell is expected to address the issue, said to potentially affect about 37,000 customers, in a statement to MPs in the House of Commons on Thursday.

Parents should monitor children '24/7' on Roblox, says developer

An independent game developer for Roblox says he believes the platform's child safety measures, including age verification checks, do not go far enough.

Roblox is the most popular gaming platform in the UK among eight to 12-year-olds.

In an exclusive interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, the developer - whom the BBC is not naming at their request - said parents should monitor their children on the platform "24/7, and if that's not possible then they shouldn't be playing Roblox".

Countdown begins on Musk’s $1.5trn SpaceX US market debut

SpaceX is aiming to file a prospectus for an initial public offering with regulators as early as this week, according to reports, starting a countdown on one of the biggest floats in American corporate history.

Elon Musk’s company is understood to be attempting to raise more than $75billion in one of the most hotly anticipated debuts of the year. The individual investor allocation could exceed 20%, although the final structure is still being determined, according to the technology website The Information.

Musk, 54, who heads Tesla, the electric carmaker, and X, the social media platform, launched SpaceX in 2002 with ambitions to make travelling to space more affordable and accessible.

Meta and YouTube found liable in landmark social media addiction trial

A Los Angeles jury has handed down an unprecedented win for a young woman who sued Meta and YouTube over her childhood addiction to social media.

Jurors found that Meta, which owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, and Google, owner of YouTube, intentionally built addictive social media platforms that harmed the 20-year old's mental health.

The woman, known as Kaley, was awarded $6million (£4.5m) in damages, a result likely to have implications for hundreds of similar cases now winding their way through US courts. 

Meta and Google said separately that they disagreed with the verdict and would both appeal.
