Prigozhin is in Russia, adding to the concerns surrounding Mr. Prigozhin’s whereabouts nearly two weeks after he called off his stunning armed rebellion against Moscow’s military leadership. In a rare interview with reporters at Independence Palace, President Aleksandr G.

The inaccessibility of tweets to logged-out users was a “temporary emergency measure,” according to…

Meta’s Methodology for Data Harvesting in Germany Loses Appeal, Tuesday, the European Union’s highest court upheld a decision by German antitrust regulators that the company had abused its dominant position in social media, putting into doubt Meta’s ability to harvest user data in order to sell personalized advertisements.

Elon Musk’s tweet rate cap broke Twitter’s apps. In recent days, Twitter has not only ceased displaying tweets unless the user is logged in, but it has also begun capping the number of tweets each user can read (“rate limiting”), ostensibly due to “data scraping,” according to Elon Musk.

In addition, the Search Engine Roundtable reported that Google Search is displaying up to 50 percent fewer Twitter URLs due to the login…
Ships and greenhouse gases are about to get into a fight In one year, ships traversing our oceans emit as much planet-warming carbon through their smokestacks as all of Germany. The vast shipping industry is responsible for transporting nine-tenths of the world’s products, but it does not yet have a “net zero” emission reduction target. A United Nations summit beginning on Monday hopes to alter this. Reaching “net zero” would involve actively removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere to offset any remaining shipping emissions. Some delegates wish for this to occur by 2050 and for emissions to be cut in…
