On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening to withhold federal funding from states whose AI regulations impede American innovation. Speaking to reporters, Trump argued that a patchwork of state-level rules slows down the industry.
The order directs the Secretary of Commerce to review state laws and, in cases of conflict, block access to the $42 billion broadband fund. Previous attempts to enforce such bans had failed.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday his intention to issue a federal pardon for an individual convicted in connection with efforts related to challenging the 2020 election results. However, on this occasion, the person in question will remain behind bars.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said he was pardoning Tina Peters, a former Mesa County election clerk currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for facilitating a data breach involving voting system data in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.

Reddit is suing the Australian government over its newly enacted social media ban, which prevents children aged 16 and younger from accessing most social media platforms.
Reddit argued that the ban impinges on the right to free political discourse implied by the country’s constitution, according to a Reuters report. In essence, blocking the youths from Reddit would block their freedom of speech, the company said. Reddit also argued that it was not, primarily speaking, a social media site, but rather a place for exchanging information and ideas.
