Apple: These are the sorts of apps we blocked from our App Store last year.
Apple details how it is dealing with 'nefarious developers' as well as apps that violate privacy or have hidden features.
Apple says it prevented over 1.6 million risky and untrustworthy apps and app updates from reaching the App Store and stopped over $1.5 billion in fraudulent transactions in 2021.
Apple produced its first fraud prevention analysis last year, detailing it had prevented one million potentially bad apps from the App Store and protected customers from nearly $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020.

Here's Who Constantly Dumps Bitcoin on Crypto Market
An eternity of selling volume in April only occurred during the trading hours of a certain group of traders and investors. Those trading hours are U.S. trading sessions, which indicate that the main selling pressure on the market is coming from U.S. market participants, while a group of Asian investors mostly pumps the digital gold.
As the data of Aracane Research analysts suggests, the cumulative year-to-date return of BTC during U.S. trading hours dropped massively from 4.22% on April 1st to -32.55% in May.
The data indicates that U.S. traders were mostly dropping their Bitcoin holdings, creating enormous pressure on the market and becoming the main sell-off driver in April.

BREAKING: US Crypto Bill allegedly leaked
What does the Crypto bill encapsulate?
🚩 Here is the summary of Bill content:
🔸 Compliances, DAOs, exchanges, and stablecoin providers would have to become registered entities
🔸 Security laws have been re-painted with clarity, and a host of assets have been re-classified as commodities under the CFTC.
🔸 Compliance costs are proposed to be risen. Investors might have to indirectly bear the burden of the same as exchanges would try to recover the same via higher fees
🔸Bankruptcy definitions have also been changed. Per the bill, assets deposited would get returned to users and not liquidated.
🔸Fee offsetting rules mean exchanges would have to pay the government from fees, and the same would likely escalate costs.
🔸 The proposal also gives depository institutions the right to issue stablecoins.
