  1. The #Trump admin issued #subpoenas Friday to several journalists for #TheNewYorkTimes, after the news outlet reported this week on #security concerns involving #Trump’s new #Qatar donated #AirForceOne.

    The subpoenas — which seek to force the #reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in Trump’s efforts to #threaten & #intimidate independent news organizations.

  2. #Encode, a small #AIpolicy #nonprofit, accuses #OpenAI of using #intimidationtactics to undermine #California’s #AIsafetylaw, #SB53. OpenAI allegedly used its legal battle with Elon Musk as a pretext to target critics, including Encode, implying they were funded by Musk. OpenAI’s actions, including #subpoenas and #lobbying efforts, raise concerns about its influence on #AIpolicy and its commitment to its stated mission. fortune.com/2025/10/10/a-3-per #tech #media #news

Unfortunately, the DMCA’s powerful protections are ripe for abuse by “copyright trolls”
