The UK’s conservative government will ban technology companies from “discriminating” against particular political viewpoints, according to a press release about the country’s new proposed Online Safety Bill.

Twitter Censors, Then Uncensors, Palestinian Journalist’s Account

Twitter said Tuesday night that the abrupt suspension of a Palestinian journalist’s account had been in error, but refused to clarify what content its system flagged as a violation of its policies. “We took enforcement action on the account you referenced in error,” a Twitter spokesperson said in an email. “That has since been reversed.”…

Minnesota Republicans Hold State Parks, Museums, Zoos Hostage Over EV Fight

In Minnesota, a fight is playing out over electric vehicles.

Conservatives Demand Supreme Court Overrule Fake Facebook Court, Others Weigh In

On Wednesday, Facebook’s Oversight Board, the pseudo-legalistic, questionably independent body that the company claims has the power to review and potentially overrule official moderation decisions, issued its not-so-final proclamations regarding the status of Donald Trump’s account. The now-former president has been suspended from Facebook and its subsidiary Instagram after inciting deadly riots at the Capitol…

Montana Is About to Become the Most Dangerous Place in America to Protest Fossil Fuels

Republicans posture as the party of free speech. Except when it’s speech they don’t like. This week, the Montana legislature passed what is among the most, if not the most, extreme anti-pipeline protest laws in the country. Gov. Greg Gianforte, a man best known for assaulting a reporter and killing wolves, is expected to sign…

U.S. Court Says Ghost Gun Blueprints Can Stay Online

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled this week that posting plans for so-called “ghost guns”—homemade firearms and firearm parts designed to route around gun regulations—is technically legal.
