Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:44:44 GMT

Judge ordered cancellation of certificates that let Trump businesses operate in New York; Detroit visit comes just ahead of Republican debate

US soldier Travis King, who fled to North Korea in July, is in American custody after being expelled by Pyongyang into China, according to US officials.

This is genuinely new – I don’t think it’s ever happened before, a president on a picket line. Candidates do it frequently and prominent senators, but not a president.

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 11:00:03 GMT

Children to be given extra protection but rejection of right for adults to opt out of targeted ads likely to disappoint consumer rights advocates

Australians will gain a right to sue for “serious” breaches of privacy under reforms that would also require small businesses to comply with privacy laws for the first time.

Children will also gain extra privacy protection, but a broader right for adults to opt out of targeted advertising recommended by the attorney general’s department has been rejected by the Albanese government, a decision likely to disappoint consumer rights advocates.

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 02:38:05 GMT

Judge refuses to dismiss a lawsuit accusing former US president of illegally inflating assets and net worth, as his lawyers say they’ll appeal

Judge Arthur Engoron found that Trump and executives from his company, including his sons Eric and Donald Jr, routinely and repeatedly deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork.

: U.S. stocks open lower amid government-shutdown worries
Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:30:00 GMT

U.S. stocks opened lower Tuesday amid worries over a potential government shutdown and higher Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA was down 0.6% soon after the opening bell, while the S&P 500 SPX shed 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP dropped 0.7%, according to FactSet data, at last check. Investors are watching for Congress to pass a budget by Saturday or risk a U.S. government shutdown. Moody’s has said that a shutdown “would demonstrate the significant constraints that intensifying political polarization put on fiscal policymaking at a time of declining fiscal strength, driven by widening fiscal deficits and deteriorating debt affordability.” Meanwhile, ten-year Treasury yields were down slightly on Tuesday at around 4.51%, after on Monday ending at the highest level since October 17, 2007.

We are Senator Ron Wyden, Fight for the Future, ACLU, EFF and advocates opposing the Kids Online Safety Act and other #BadInternetBills. Join our AMA in r/technology this Monday, 9/18 at 3pm EST! Ask us anything
2023-09-15T18:50:42+00:00

We are advocates who support regulation of Big Tech but oppose the misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), and similarly dangerous and unconstitutional bills like the EARN IT Act, Stop CSAM Act, Cooper Davis Act, and Protecting Kids On Social Media Act.

On Monday, September 18th starting at 3:00pm EST we’ll be hosting an AMA here on r/technology.

Come ask us anything about why these bills would do more harm than good, and what lawmakers and regulators can do instead to address the harm that Big Tech’s surveillance driven business model is doing to kids and our democracy without undermining human rights and free expression.
Learn more about these bills and write/call your legislators at BadInternetBills.com
