Google ditches plans to launch banking app

Published

Plans to open a all-in-one banking app have been ditched by Google

The tech company has stopped working on its Plex service, which works by allowing users to do their banking via the Google Pay app.

Google’s service was supposed to let users sign up and open new bank accounts offered by a selection of traditional banks. The user would then be able to manage those accounts via the app.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Google canceled the project due to a series of missed deadlines and because an executive who pushed for the project left the company.

The Plex service wasn’t meant to put Google in direct competition with banks, according to reports that came out prior to the company revealing the program.

Instead, Google planned to partner up with financial institutions in order to provide the service, with those banks providing accounts with no monthly account fees or overdraft fees.

Like some other online banks, Google’s app would have let users set things like savings targets and automatic transactions. Some of the banks that the tech giant had hoped to partner up with include Citi bank and SEFCU.

Does American media have TikTok bias?

Published

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
