Ninety videos of in-development footage of Rockstar Games’ secretive next Grand Theft Auto game were leaked online Sunday morning in one of the most shocking data breaches in gaming history.

A federal appeals court dealt social media giants a blow Friday when it upheld a Texas law that seeks to stop platforms from removing posts if the removal can be viewed as discriminating against a "viewpoint."
Driving the news: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the Texas law, HB20, does not violate the First Amendment rights of social media platforms.
