Between major headlines, several news items caught our attention this week without being the subject of a full article. Here is an overview. Sunrise announces 358 layoffs for operational reasons following its consultation procedure with staff representation and syndicom. Initially, up to 450 job cuts were considered. The operator has also expanded its social plan, particularly for older employees, and introduced a voluntary departure option in certain sectors. The European Commission has opened a formal investigation against Booking.com for potential infringements of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The investigations focus on fraudulent accommodation listings, phishing risks related to reservation data, and the transparency of paid ad placements. The procedure does not prejudge any potential infringement. Google is introducing several updates to its AI Mode and AI Overviews features to facilitate access to web sources. The new features include more integrated links in responses, more visible news carousels, and rich links to related articles. Google is also testing links to creator and publisher profiles.
