TAL Education Unveils TalPad T100 Kids' Tablet To Boost Learning, Cut Tutor Costs

On Thursday, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) filed a lawsuit against a Hong Kong-based developer of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40089681/google-takes-action-against-deepfake-porn-in-search-results-as-others-like-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-and">explicit AI deepfake app</a>, alleging the company violated its advertising policies tens of thousands of times and intensified growing concerns over the misuse of artificial intelligence for non-consensual content.
What Happened: Meta is suing Joy Timeline HK Limited, the creator of CrushAI, an app capable of generating sexually explicit deepfakes, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/12/tech/meta-sues-explicit-deepfake-app-crushai">reported</a> CNN.
The company claims the app maker ran over 87,000 ads that violated Meta's rules across Facebook and Instagram by promoting "nudifying" technology — tools that digitally remove clothing from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/04/38262970/ai-generated-sexually-explicit-deepfakes-on-uk-government-radar-as-new-law-seeks-to-criminalize-them">images of people without consent</a>.
According to the complaint, filed in a Hong Kong court, the defendants created a network of 170 business accounts and 135 Facebook pages, managing ads that largely targeted users in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Germany and the U.K.

Meta says it has spent $289,000 responding to regulatory inquiries and investigating the violations. "This is an adversarial space," the company said in a statement, noting that such actors "evolve their tactics to avoid detection," the report added.
Why It's Important: Tech platforms are under increasing pressure to combat non-consensual, explicit deepfakes, which are easier to create with AI.
Victims have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36818568/elon-musks-x-blocks-taylor-swift-searches-amid-deepfake-dilemma">included public figures</a> like Taylor Swift and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as high school girls. In response, the Take It Down Act—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44100458/melania-trump-attacks-democrats-for-skipping-key-discussion-on-deepfakes-first-lady-wants-tougher-safeguards-for-children">banning the sharing of such content</a> and mandating swift removal by platforms—was signed into law last month.
In January, reports revealed that CrushAI, a nudifying app, ran thousands of ads on Meta platforms, despite Meta&#8217;s policies banning adult content and sexual exploitation.
This led Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) to question Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the company&#8217;s oversight.
Earlier this month, CBS <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meta-instagram-facebook-ads-nudify-deepfake-ai-tools-cbs-news-investigation/">News</a> found more ads promoting similar apps, some using sexualized deepfakes of celebrities. In response, Meta said it removed the ads, deleted associated Pages and permanently blocked the related URLs.
Price Action: Meta shares declined 0.11% on Thursday and dropped another 1.75% in pre-market trading on Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Accusing a former employee of stealing confidential materials related to Optimus and launching a rival startup, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has filed a lawsuit in federal court.
What Happened: Zhongjie "Jay" Li, who was part of the team working on Tesla's robotic hand sensors from August 2022 to September 2024, allegedly downloaded sensitive files just before resigning from his position, Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/12/tesla-sues-ex-optimus-engineer-robot-trade-secrets/">reports</a>. Filed on Wednesday in San Francisco, the lawsuit claims that within a week of his departure, Li incorporated a new company, Proception Inc., which is now based in Palo Alto.
Within five months, Proception reportedly showcased humanoid hands similar to Tesla's own designs. The lawsuit also names Proception as a defendant and accuses both parties of misappropriating trade secrets.

Why It Matters: CEO Elon Musk has described the company&#8217;s robotic hand as "the most sophisticated ever made," and projected that Optimus could become the company's most valuable product in the long run.
Last month, Musk shared his belief that humanoid robots will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45710538/elon-musk-says-humanoid-robots-will-start-impacting-countries-gdps-in-4-to-5-years-robot-cars-even-sooner-in-just-1-to-2-years">start impacting countries' GDPs in &#8220;4-5 years.&#8221;</a> Musk has also asserted that Optimus can learn tasks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536080/elon-musk-says-teslas-optimus-can-learn-tasks-by-watching-youtube-videos-just-like-a-human">simply by watching YouTube videos</a>, much like humans can.

Elon Musk's Tesla Files Lawsuit Alleging Ex-Employee Stole Humanoid Tech To Launch Rival

Former President Barack Obama has quietly taken on the role of leadership coach to Airbnb (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) co-founder Brian Chesky, meeting weekly in what the billionaire calls "night school" and pressing him to steer the home-sharing platform with deliberate purpose rather than on autopilot.
What Happened: In a new podcast appearance, Chesky recounted Obama's warning to shun leaders who act like "self-driving cars" and revealed homework-style assignments that reshaped both his personal life and the direction of Airbnb.
Chesky recently told Michelle Obama's "IMO" podcast that the calls ran a full hour every week, stacked on top of 100-hour workweeks in the run-up to Airbnb's 2020 IPO. 
&#8220;I basically had my day job during the day, and then I had my night school with the former president,&#8221; he said. The former president urged Chesky to think deeply about relationships with colleagues, shareholders and society — and plot an intentional course.

"He told me something that I'll never forget," Chesky revealed. "He said you should institutionalize your intentions, so that even when you're a public company, you can make sure not to compromise your vision.&#8221;
See also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45911214/dave-ramsey-told-a-31-year-old-man-making-less-than-10k-a-year-you-have-a-pretty-extreme-income-problem-but-youre-not-bankrupt">Dave Ramsey Told A 31-Year-Old Man Making Less Than $10K A Year, You Have A &#8216;Pretty Extreme Income Problem,&#8217; But You&#8217;re Not Bankrupt</a>
&#8220;And what he meant by that, I think, was that you should be more thoughtful about what you're making, why you're making it, and the impact of what you're making is on people," he clarified. Chesky went on to add that Obama's advice made a "really, really big difference" at Airbnb.
Why It Matters: This wasn&#8217;t the first instance of Chesky heaping praise on Obama&#8217;s advice. In a separate showing on the Rapid Response podcast back in 2024, Chesky revealed how Obama, during a conversation over dinner in 2017, advised him to lock Airbnb's purpose into the company bylaws before going public: "Institutionalize your intentions so you don't compromise your vision." The directive inspired the company's five-stakeholder framework and the creation of a Host Endowment fund.
The mentorship didn't stop at boardroom philosophy. Obama's push to stay "hands-on" with relationships inspired Chesky's $100 million Voyager Scholarship for public-service students and his own habit of phoning friends between busy workweeks, a tactic he says keeps success from becoming isolating.
Even Chesky's now-famous 2008 "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/12/18700895/how-airbnb-sold-30-000-in-obama-mccain-ipoats-cereal-in-early-funding-days-1">Obama O's</a>" cereal stunt that kept Airbnb alive remains a popular anecdote in the startup&#8217;s origin story.

Barack Obama Once Told Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky Not To Lead Like A 'Self-Driving Car:' Here's What Former President Meant

The student loan policies of the Trump administration, backed by Congressional Republicans, could pose a significant risk to the U.S. economy, potentially overshadowing concerns about Trump&#8217;s tariff policies, according to an expert.
What Happened: The student loan debt in the U.S. stands at an alarming $1.6 trillion, owed by nearly 43 million Americans, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Despite the gravity of the issue, discussions about student loan relief in Congress have been replaced by efforts to increase the burden on borrowers, as <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2025-06-12/forget-inflation-the-gops-policies-on-student-loans-will-crack-the-economy">reported</a> by the Los Angeles Times.
Aissa Canchola Bañez, Policy Director for the Student Borrower Protection Center, recently voiced concern over the potential economic harm this could cause. She criticized the administration for economically pressuring millions of Americans, which could further impact an already struggling economy.
"Instead of helping the 5 million borrowers that have fallen into default and the millions more that are behind and now at risk of default later this year, this Administration appears set on inflicting massive economic harm on millions of Americans.
Since the resumption of student loan payments, credit scores of about 9.7 million borrowers have significantly dropped, as per&nbsp;a report by the Federal&nbsp;Reserve Bank of New York. This has resulted in increased rejection rates for mortgage refinancings and other loans, which could further slow down the economy.
The budget bill, advanced by the GOP-controlled House, may heighten the financial strain on families already grappling with the cost of higher education. Critics contend that the primary winners of these proposed changes would be private student loan providers, including banks and private equity firms. SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45908840/as-layoffs-mount-one-question-is-getting-louder-what-happens-to-skyscraper-offices-in-cities-like-bos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">As Layoffs Mount, One Question Is Getting Louder: What Happens To Skyscraper Offices In Cities Like Boston When People Are Replaced By AI?</a>
Why It Matters:&nbsp;On April 21, Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced that defaulted loans would be sent to collections, allowing wage garnishment and seizure of tax refunds and Social Security benefits. Following public backlash, the administration reversed plans to take Social Security from about 450,000 defaulting borrowers aged 62 and older.
Nevertheless, proposed changes by Republican lawmakers could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/06/45878605/the-student-loan-funding-gap-is-growing-wider-is-congress-making-the-divide-irremediable">exacerbate </a>the student loan crisis, raising the cost of college for millions and accelerating a shift towards private lending. The draft legislation proposes eliminating or restricting several key federal student loan programs, which could deepen inequities and reduce access to higher education.

The New York Federal Reserve projects a surge in defaults this summer, with roughly 2.2 million borrowers already seeing credit scores plunge more than 100 points since negative reporting resumed last fall.

Trump's Student Loan Policies Could Inflict 'Massive Economic Harm,' For Americans, Warns Expert: 'Instead Of Helping The 5 million Borrowers...'

In a bold projection, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bull and Galaxy&nbsp;Digital&nbsp;CEO Mike Novogratz said Thursday that the apex cryptocurrency could grow tenfold to $1 million, eventually replacing gold as the top store of value asset.
What happened: During an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/06/12/bitcoin-is-now-a-macro-asset-says-galaxy-digital-ceo-mike-novogratz.html">interview</a> with CNBC, Novogratz called Bitcoin an &#8220;institutionalized macro asset&#8221; that investors assess alongside traditional heavyweights such as gold, silver and the S&amp;P 500
"People thought we were crazy," Novogratz remarked, recalling on the skepticism that once surrounded the cryptocurrency.
This turnaround, Novogratz argues, happened after BlackRock's Larry Fink, one of Wall Street's most influential voices, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43150952/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-bitcoin-could-rise-to-700000-on-fiat-fears-if-youre-frightened-of-the-debasement">threw his weight behind Bitcoin</a>.
&#8220;Once Larry Fink said BlackRock is getting behind this, all that pushing the snowball uphill that started rolling downhill. And now we&#8217;ve got all these treasury companies buying Bitcoin. We&#8217;ve got sovereign wealth buying Bitcoin. We&#8217;ve got retail investors buying Bitcoin,&#8221; Novogratz said. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s now a ball rolling downhill.&#8221;
Novogratz predicted that over time, young people would find it more appealing than the older generation. 
&#8220;And so gold slowly gets replaced by Bitcoin. If you look at gold&#8217;s market cap and Bitcoin&#8217;s market cap, Bitcoin has a long way to go, 10x, and so that&#8217;s $1 million in Bitcoin just to be where gold is.&#8221;
As of this writing, gold was indeed the most valued asset in the world, with a capitalization of around $23.144 trillion. Bitcoin&#8217;s market capitalization stood at $2.066 trillion.

Why It Matters: Interestingly, Novogratz's optimism about Bitcoin displacing gold comes at a time when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45919140/gold-backed-cryptos-surge-as-israel-iran-tensions-ignite-safe-haven-rush-coins-linked-to-tether-pax-top-30-ytd-outshine-bitcoin">apex cryptocurrency</a> has sharply fallen due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. 
In fact, it was gold that behaved like a risk-off asset as investors sought refuge in the safe haven following&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45918307/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-bleed-after-israel-launches-premptive-strike-against-iran-analyst-foresees-lower-levels-for-eth-if-it-fails-to-hold-this-support" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Israel&#8217;s strikes on Iran</a>.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $104,367.99, down 3.62% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;Spot gold was up 0.83% to $3,414.82 per ounce as of this writing.

Mike Novogratz Says Bitcoin Could Reach $1 Million As BlackRock's Larry Fink Pushes BTC Adoption, Gold Gets Replaced: 'A Ball Rolling Downhill'

A new poll from Quinnipiac University shows that President Donald Trump's job approval has fallen to 38%, the lowest point of his second term.
What Happened: The poll was conducted between June 5 and 9 among 1,265 registered voters, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5346550-trump-job-approval-drops-survey/?tbref=hp">reports.</a> It found that 54% disapprove of Trump's performance, while 38% signaled their approval. The new figures showcase a sustained decline from 46% in January. Approval fell to 45% in February, 42% in March, and 41% in April. No data was published for May.
Trump scored highest on immigration, where 43% approved of how he handled the issue, but numbers are down from 45% in April. On deportations, approval dropped to 40% from 42%.
His ratings on other major issues are as follows: 40% on the economy, 38% on trade, 37% on universities, 35% on the Israel conflict and 34% on the Russia-Ukraine war.
"As the Russia – Ukraine war grinds through its third year, Americans make it clear they have little appetite for the way the Trump administration is handling the situation," said Tim Malloy, a polling analyst at Quinnipiac University.

Why It Matters: Figures from the Quinnipiac University survey differ slightly from other polls. As per Decision Desk HQ's polling averages, Trump currently holds a 47% approval rating, with 49.9% disapproving of his performance.
A separate YouGov/The Economist survey conducted this week indicates that 45% of registered voters approve of Trump, while 53% disapprove.
These numbers coincide with Trump's first six months in office, during which he made headlines for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45910211/trumps-first-six-months-these-4-markets-crush-sp-500-as-tariffs-boomerang">aggressive tariff policies</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45900294/trump-deploys-marines-to-la-with-authority-to-detain-civilians-california-challenges-military-involvement-in-immigration-enforcement">crackdown on immigration</a> and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45919422/trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-is-the-largest-redistribution-from-poor-to-rich-in-american-history-says-economist-justin-wolfers-amid-tax-cuts-spending-s">"big, beautiful bill."</a>
Tomorrow, Trump will celebrate his 79th birthday, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45184301/us-armys-250th-anniversary-parade-to-coincide-with-trumps-79th-birthday">coincides with the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary</a>, to be celebrated with a full-scale parade featuring more than 6,000 troops, around 100 military vehicles and almost 50 aircraft at the National Mall in Washington DC.
