Sept 15 (Reuters) - Britain's antitrust watchdog said on Thursday it would launch an in-depth probe into Xbox maker Microsoft's $69-billion purchase of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard after the tech giant failed to offer remedies to soothe competition concerns.

‘The second 12-year-old female from Lufkin, who Sheriff's investigators believe was involved with the planning of the shooting, was taken into custody last week and has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.'

Starting in early 2020, S.U. came into contact with adult men through Roblox, who encouraged her to sign up for Discord, Snapchat and Instagram to communicate with them, according to the lawsuit.
None of the companies required parental consent, and Discord did not verify S.U.'s age even though it said it did not allow users under 13 years old, the lawsuit said.

"I have no doubt making the BDR compulsory for licensees, giving police more agility and the courts more scope to place problem drinkers on the BDR will lead to a reduction in alcohol-related harm and crime."

Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said earlier this month the takeover of the videogame publisher maker could hurt competition in gaming consoles, subscription services and cloud gaming if Microsoft refused to give competitors access to Activision's best-selling games.

Most notably, his company-wide freezing of new hires and the canceling of a massive company holiday party due to the company's tanking stock prices while he attended a lavish, invite-only party for some of his instructors at New York City's Plaza Hotel.

'So for better or worse, I and the rest of the Patreon Security Team are no longer with the company,' . 'As a result, I'm looking for a new Security or Privacy Engineering role and would appreciate any connections, advice, or job opportunities from folks in my network.' 

Peloton, an exercise equipment and media company, told employees in August the company is slashing 784 jobs, increasing equipment prices, closing several retail locations and requiring all non-remote employees to return to the office by November 14. 

The platform's current top Patreon creator is the True Crime Obsessed podcast, according to Graphtreon. The podcast with hosts Patrick Hinds and Gillian Pensavalle has more than 47,000 patrons donating to their show.

CEO Barry McCarthy, a tech veteran who took over the company in February after a tumultuous end to former CEO John Foley's time at the company, said he hopes the decisions will 'better position the company for long term success.'

Conte concluded: 'To our teammates who will remain at Patreon: the second Renaissance has already begun, and we have a massive opportunity ahead of us to change the course of history for creative people, to give them leverage and control, to give them direct relationships with their communities, and to help them build beyond their dreams.'
