TikTok Removes Viral AI Fruit Love Island Account After It Reaches 3.3 Million Followers
In March 2026, TikTok account @ai.cinema021 went viral with Fruit Love Island, short AI-made videos about talking fruit in weird, flirty storylines.
It quickly reached about 3.3 million followers, inspired real-fruit parody videos, and got attention from Zara Larsson, who later deleted her posts after backlash.
Then TikTok began removing the content.
Some reports said the whole account was taken down, while others said many videos were removed, so the exact situation wasn’t fully clear.
This Is What a Cyber Attack Looks Like, It Feels Like a Normal Tuesday Night
This article says Cyberattacks often start with a normal person being tricked, not with a dramatic hack.
Tired or distracted people may click fake links, trust fake calls, or approve payments that look real.
It mentions Cisco’s August 2025 vishing attack, where a scammer tricked a company worker and got into a cloud customer system.
It also points to an April 2025 FBI warning about fake employee payroll and benefits websites used to steal money and personal data. Read the full article.
USPS Proposes 8% Package Shipping Price Increase From April 26, 2026, to January 17, 2027
The U.S. Postal Service wants to raise some package shipping prices by 8% because fuel and transportation costs are rising.
If approved, the temporary increase would run from April 26, 2026, to January 17, 2027 and would affect Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select.
It would not affect regular letter mail or First-Class stamps.
USPS filed the request with the Postal Regulatory Commission, so this is still a proposed temporary increase, not a final change.
Trump Names Zuckerberg, Ellison, and Huang to White House Tech Panel Expected to Help Shape AI Policy
President Donald Trump named Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Jensen Huang to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, also called PCAST, on March 25, 2026.
The group is a White House tech and science panel, not an AI-only panel by name, but reports say AI will likely be one of its biggest issues.
The first group has 13 members and can grow to 24.
Reports say the panel will help advise Trump on science, technology, education, innovation, national security, and economic growth, which is why people are saying it could help shape future AI rules and policy.
