Marco Rubio just posted on Twitter:
The European Commission’s $140 million fine isn’t just an attack on X, it’s an attack on all American tech platforms and the American people by foreign governments. The days of censoring Americans online are over.
He did so after a few US companies got fined in EU for violation of laws regarding privacy and not only moderation of posts, but also the opposite - arbitrary deletion of legitimate content and refusal to restore it.
Seems like the secretary of state just discovered that if an US company wants to earn money in another country, that comes bundled with following its laws! Can you imagine?
For comparison, if an EU company wants to do business in US, it has to follow not only US federal laws, but also state laws and county (!) laws. Americans in EU have it much easier, because they enjoy laws that are largely harmonised among member states rather than the US mess of incompatible state laws and variable sales tax rates between counties.

It bothers me that before they show the footage of the murder of these people, the news man never says "We are about to show footage where people were killed some viewers might find this disturbing." As they would for other disasters, so when the bile rises in my throat, because I really did just see some people snuffed out of existence I also have to feel like I'm being too sensitive for caring.
The careless way some death is displayed is also a kind of propaganda that explains who matters.

President Zelensky has approved a new system to fairly distribute new recruits among brigades. Col. Pavlo Palisa says each frontline unit will now receive a stable monthly number of mobilized troops, with training tailored to the conditions of the assigned brigade.
Currently, 37 brigades are allowed to conduct their own basic training, with plans to expand. Brigades without such capability will still send instructors to guide their troops through training at army centers.
