Everything is a ploy or accused of being a ploy in a ploy to regain narrative or control. Accusations are admissions and eventually all action is suspect. Huxley or Orwell spectrum employed depending on side and usefulness. #ai sandbox to ethical arrest is a marketing tactic and stock safeguard. #trump ruins it in his own ploy, hurts it all (inc his).
You can trust the bombs hitting trains though.

That Jimmy Kimmel can't air an interview with James Talarico because of FCC threats should be an international scandal.

Courtesy of the #fascists, with #BrendanCarr at the helm this time, screaming about their #1A rights while eviscerating everyone else's.

Trump Threatens CNN For Very Basic Reporting On His Shitty, Unpopular War

Weekly output: FCC frees Verizon from phone-unlocking rule, Donut Lab’s solid-state battery, Wikipedia turns 25, Google traffic trends
This week brought a lot of unpleasant headlines, but none made me feel uneasy like the news that Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson was subjected to an unexpected visit by the FBI at her house Wednesday that concluded with investigators confiscating her work and personal laptops, her phone and her smartwatch–all seized, it now seems, on a fraudulent pretext. Since then, the man who spent his equivalent of pocket change to buy the Post in 2013 has said nothing about that in public, yet another way in which Jeff Bezos has shown himself an unworthy successor to Katharine Graham and her son Don Graham.
In addition to what you see below, I wrote a post for Patreon readers sharing bonus bits about what I learned at CES two weeks ago.
1/12/2026, FCC Unties Verizon From 60-Day Phone-Unlocking Rule, PCMag
Two days after the Federal Communications Commission granted Verizon’s wish, Verizon suffered an hours-long outage that people could work around relatively easily if their phones were unlocked to allow them to add a third-party eSIM.
1/15/2026: Wikipedia Is Now 25 Years Old [Citation Not Needed], PCMag
I had made a mental note to myself to write an essay about the free online encyclopedia hitting the quarter-century mark, but then the actual date snuck up on me. Fortunately, the lede and the headline basically wrote themselves.
1/17/2026: Donut Labs’ Solid-State Battery-Powered Motorcycle Turned Heads at CES, But Big Questions Remain, PCMag
Writing this left me feeling over my skis more than usual–I don’t cover battery technology in any great depth, this startup has disclosed almost nothing about the design of its solid-state batteries, and two outside analysts weren’t willing to assess their pitch. But reading up at length on this company and on others working on better EV batteries did make me realize one thing: There’s enough innovation happening here that we don’t need Donut’s invention to work.
1/17/2026: AI Is Still Hammering News Sites, Google Search and Social Referrals Plunge, PCMag
The brutal declines in Google search traffic reported in a study published Monday by the University of Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism caught my eyes and those of my editors, but I also found some news value in this report’s stats about which online platforms and technologies newsroom leaders plan to emphasize or back away from.

Trump Cybersecurity Policy Is Indistinguishable From A Foreign Attack

#FCC will vote to scrap #telecom #cybersecurity requirements
The commission’s Republican chair #BrendanCarr, who voted against the rules in January, calls them ineffective and illegal.
With Carr moving to undo Rosenworcel’s actions, it is unclear how the FCC plans to continue to exercise cybersecurity oversight of telecom carriers.
https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/fcc-cybersecurity-telecommunications-carriers-brendan-carr-eliminate-rules/804259/I am sure #SaltTyphoon and other #APT have packed their bags on gone back to their mother's basements and this isn't an issue anymore.

I’m off to Lisbon tonight–my last booked business travel of the year–for Web Summit. It’s now been eight years since I started speaking at that event, and this year’s version of the conference will bring a painful parallel to 2016’s as I once again will have Europeans asking me to explain how my country just elected Donald Trump as president.
Patreon readers got an extra post this week, a report from my long Tuesday spent as an election officer that had me doing same-day voter registration with the new addition of creating records for each new voter in our pollbook app.
11/4/2024: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
My first update to this guide since the end of 2023 covered minor changes in rate plans at some carriers, AT&T’s breach of customer calling and texting metadata, and such other changes to the industry as the FCC’s broadband-facts labels and the advent of satellite messaging and, eventually broadband roaming.
11/6/2024: In Trump’s Second Term, Net-Neutrality Rules Are Sure to Die Again, PCMag
I wrote about yet another pending reversal of net-neutrality policy because I am serving a life sentence of covering the infinite loop of tech policy. This post also lists some other likely policy priorities of the man Trump will probably nominate to head the Federal Communications Commission, current commissioner Brendan Carr, as gleaned from his contribution to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 as well as in his remarks at telecom events that I’ve covered.
11/9/2024: 97 – November 9, 2024, Rich on Tech Radio Show
My friend Rich DeMuro, who covers technology for KTLA in Los Angeles, had me on his weekly radio show to quiz me about the Wirecutter guide and about what listeners should consider when shopping for wireless service. My top advice on that point: Make sure you understand what speed or usage limits apply to any plan offering “unlimited” data.

This holiday-shortened week will be condensed further by my travel to Barcelona for MWC starting Friday afternoon. This will be my tenth in-person edition of the trade show formerly known as Mobile World Congress, but this trip will bring one first-time ingredient for me: I’m moderating a panel on information-security issues at the MWC setup of a new nonprofit tech-policy publication called Compiler.
2/13/2024: State of the Net conference features continued crosstalk about net neutrality, Light Reading
I’ve been meaning to write something about how often critics of the Federal Communications Commission’s move to revive net-neutrality regulations completely ignore the digital-privacy rationale advanced by FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel. And then one of my editors at this telecom trade pub said they could use some help covering this tech-policy event that I’ve attended on and off since 2006.
2/13/2024: GOP FCC Commissioner: Investigate Apple for Blocking Beeper Mini From iMessage, PCMag
I started writing about FCC commissioner Brendan Carr’s critique at State of the Net of Apple’s App Store stewardship, realized I wasn’t clear about what he meant in a couple of places, and e-mailed a query to his press contact. I thought I might get the usual on-background reply from staff, but instead Carr called me back a few hours later.
2/14/2024: Comcast Talks Up Network Resiliency, But What About Those Data Caps?, PCMag
I had a day trip to Philadelphia Tuesday for Comcast’s Converge event and filed my recap of it the next afternoon after I’d had finished excavating the buried-lede aspect of the company’s presentation: In the few markets where it’s upgraded its cable network to deliver symmetrical upload and download speeds, Comcast’s service plans don’t have a data cap or equipment fees.
2/16/2024: Google Posts Developer Preview of Android 15: Here’s What’s New (So Far), PCMag
I was quicker than usual to write this, mainly because I’d already planned on taking off most of Friday to go skiing before I got an advance copy of this news from Google PR.
