  1. Online keeps hammering X despite threat

    The US is not backing down from its fight to technology researchers who monitor safety risks on the biggest online platforms.

    In July, a judge blocked as an policy that the US relied on to weigh whether to and deport people who flag illegal or harmful online content as national risks. In his announcement of the policy, explained that by targeting a list of researchers—which he stood “ready and willing” to expand—the policy supposedly served to prevent foreign nationals from manipulating digital town squares and Americans.

  8. Pentagon Spokesperson Admits There’s a Secret Blacklist of Journalists

    When pressed about the Iran war, a CENTCOM press official threatened to put an Intercept reporter on a “list of people to disregard.”

    Nick Turse, August 24 2026

    Excerpt: "Under self-styled #WarSecretary #PeteHegseth, the U.S. military has mounted the most aggressive assault on #PressFreedom in memory, from an effort to outlaw 'unauthorized' questions from reporters to imposing unconstitutional restrictions on journalists’ access to the Pentagon. Hegseth has compared reporters to 'Pharisees,' who in the Bible call Jesus’s teachings into question, while the secretary’s minions regularly hurl insults at reporters. This is part of a broader war on press freedoms by the #TrumpAdministration, that includes demonizing #journalists; filing so-called strategic lawsuits against public participation, or #SLAPPs, to intimidate and silence criticism through expensive legal proceedings; and employing grand jury subpoenas and search warrants to intimidate reporters.

    " 'Threatening journalists with placement on a #blacklist in retaliation for reporting the government doesn’t like is as #unconstitutional as it gets,' said Seth Stern, the director of advocacy for Freedom of the Press Foundation. 'This should put to rest the Pentagon’s prior claims that it’s anti-press policies — like its infamous requirement that reporters sign pledges to only print authorized information — are somehow content neutral.'

    "Allee revealed the existence of the blacklist after this reporter was left on hold for more than two hours and complained about a long-standing lack of transparency by the command. In calls earlier that morning, Maj. Emma Thompson, #CENTCOM ’s media operations chief, repeatedly refused to answer questions about Iranian attacks on U.S. bases across the Middle East, disparate U.S. casualty counts, and medical evacuation flights: 'Nothing for you,' 'Don’t have anything for you,' 'No comment.' Thompson then hung up on this reporter mid-question.

    #TheIntercept called back multiple times until Allee picked up the phone. 'They’re not going to answer your call if you just keep calling and calling,' he told this reporter."

  9. 'Tower Dump' #Warrants Ruled #Unconstitutional

    The Hill: A federal judge in #Mississippi ruled Wednesday that "tower dump" warrants are unconstitutional, declining to reverse a lower court decision refusing the government's request to obtain the search warrants in a series of violent crime investigations. A "tower dump" involves #cellphone companies providing law enforcement with access to the time and location data of all mobile devices connected to specific cell towers during a designated time window.

  13. On Tuesday, #Johnson & #Johnson became the latest drugmaker to take the Biden administration to federal court in an attempt to put a #halt to the #drug #pricing #program. Three other drug companies — #Merck, #Bristol #Myers #Squibb and #Astellas #Pharma — have filed their own lawsuits, as have the industry’s main trade group and the U.S. #Chamber of #Commerce.

    The suits make similar and overlapping claims that the drug pricing provisions are #unconstitutional. They are scattered in federal courts around the country — a tactic that experts say gives the industry a better chance of obtaining #conflicting #rulings that will put the legal challenges on a fast track to a business-friendly #Supreme #Court.
