Apple says the App Store is 'fair and free of bias' in response to Musk's legal threats, Google lets you pick preferred sources, and Russia implicated in a hack on US federal court databases

Apple has denied Elon Musk's accusation that it's favoring OpenAI in its App Store rankings and making it impossible for other AI companies to reach the top. In a statement sent to Bloomberg, Apple said the App Store is "designed to be fair and free of bias." In other news, Google is officially rolling out Preferred Sources, which lets you curate search results. The feature allows you to pick specific or "preferred" sources, like a certain blog or news outlet, and see them more prominently when you use Google Search; and databases used by US federal courts for sharing and managing case documents have been hacked. Politico first reported on the hack last week on August 6; yesterday, an investigation from The New York Times stated that Russia is suspected to be involved in the attack.
