ALERT: πŸ”₯ Tucked away in the GOP's budget reconciliation bill, nicknamed the "One Big, Beautiful" bill, is a dangerous provision that would impose a 10-year moratorium on state AI regulations. Just as a gift to Trump donors. This means states would be barred from enforcing laws related to artificial intelligence, such as those addressing deepfakes, algorithmic discrimination and job displacement.

Decentralized platforms like Fediverse and Bluesky will be interesting to watch re: breaking news & disinformation. X/Twitter’s already the worst tonight, its former strength in breaking news now its worse than useless.
