Massachusetts takes Meta to its highest court over claims the company engineered its apps to hook children
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit accusing Meta of deliberately engineering Instagram and Facebook to addict children. Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is bypassing Section 230 protections by framing the case as product liability over Meta's design choices, including infinite scroll and algorithmic recommendation systems. A ruling allowing the case to proceed could expose Meta to civil penalties and force changes to its core platforms, with im

Meta is now flagging the word antifa as a potential extremism signal on Facebook and Instagram
Meta has updated its moderation rules to flag the word 'antifa' as a potential extremism signal when it appears alongside threat indicators on Facebook and Instagram.

The feud erupted after Sun's wallet was blacklisted following a token transfer in September 2025, and has escalated further after WLFI borrowed $75 million against platform collateral.

Iran's Hormuz Gambit Rewrote the Rules of Economic Warfare and Sent Oil Markets Into Freefall
Iran's 'Flow Control' strategy weaponized the Strait of Hormuz in late March 2026, demanding Bitcoin tolls from tankers and spiking oil above $113 a barrel. A ceasefire was announced April 11, but shipping through the strait remains effectively stalled amid confusion over passage rights. The episode has rewritten assumptions about economic coercion as a primary instrument of geopolitical pressure.

The Middle East war is turning the IMF and World Bank's spring meetings into a global crisis summit
The IMF and World Bank's spring meetings in Washington have been overtaken by the economic fallout of the Middle East war, with global growth forecasts being cut, oil prices near four-year highs, and the IMF bracing for up to $50 billion in emergency financing demands.
