Governor Newsom signs first-in-the-nation law to ban ultra-processed foods from school lunches

“With Governor Newsom’s signature on AB 1264, California has taken a historic step toward protecting our children from harmful ultra-processed foods and chemical additives,” said Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel. “While Washington DC is paralyzed by inaction, California is once again leading the nation with a bipartisan, commonsense, science-based approach.

California enacts law giving consumers ability to universally opt out of data sharing

California enacts law giving consumers ability to universally opt out of data sharing

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday signed a bill which requires web browsers to make it easier for Californians to opt-out of allowing third parties to sell their data. The California Consumer Privacy Act, signed in 2018, gave Californians the right to send opt-out signals, but major browsers have not had to make opt-outs simple to use.

Privacy and consumer rights activists have been nervously waiting…

Nothing was at risk other than our Twitter account (and one Fly.io employee’s self-esteem). Also: for fuck’s sake. Here’s what happened: Kurt Mackey, our intrepid CEO, got phished. Had this been an impactful attack, we would not be this flippant about it. For this, though, any other tone on our part would be false. How They Got Kurt Two reasons: one, it was a pretty good phishing attack, and two, Twitter fell outside the “things we take…
