23andMe to Sell Assets, Microsoft Updates Copilot+ Recall, Google Introduces Email Encryption, and Smartphone Obsolescence Debated

The pioneering genetic testing company 23andMe is set to sell its assets to an American laboratory. The French data protection authority, CNIL, is encouraging French users to request the deletion of their personal data. Microsoft has enhanced the 2025 version of Copilot+ Recall, updating its security features and specifying who should avoid using it and how to disable it. Google is launching an end-to-end encryption tool for its professional emails, but the extension of this service to external addresses raises cybersecurity concerns. The obsolescence of smartphones could be more software-related than technical, paving the way for more sustainable and ethical solutions.
