BANK FAILURES AND CRYPTO
[[link removed]]
By Daniele Served
Cointelegraph
The collapse of

Valley Bank and Silvergate Capital, some of the most crypto-friendly
banks in the industry, has forced many crypto firms to hold their
breath. With no significant banking partner, many companies will find
it harder to comply with regulations and offer their services in a way
that is consistent with the expectations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.

TUCKER’S JANUARY 6 MONTAGE
[[link removed]]
By Saranac Hale Spencer, Robert Farley and D'Angelo Gore
FactCheck.org
Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson mangled recently released video
from January 6, 2021 to misleadingly minimize the violence at the riot
and to distort the actions of the police.
CANCELING MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY
[[link removed]]
By Nick Pinto
Hell Gate
Behind the scenes, the end of “The Takeaway”, and the manner in
which it has been handled, has stirred up long-standing frustrations
between employees and the organization’s management. Former
staffers allege that the show never received the support it needed
from WNYC’s leadership.
DESANTIS GOES TO BAT FOR NEWSMAX
[[link removed]]
By Ted Johnson
Deadline
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that Congress should investigate AT&T
and DirecTV for their decision to drop Newsmax and, last year,
One America News Network. DirecTV dropped Newsmax last week,
contending that the conservative channel was demanding “significant
fees” at a time when it was already available for free on streaming
platforms.
BBC’S SPOT OF BOTHER
[[link removed]]
By Jon Allsop
Columbia Journalism Review
Aspects of the Gary Lineker controversy resonate beyond the BBC’s
particular circumstances, and, indeed, beyond the UK. While Lineker is
not a traditional journalist, his comments, and the BBC’s response
to them, thus play into a second broader debate—what those who work
for news organizations that like to position themselves as neutral are
and aren’t allowed to say on their own time.
HEALTH TECH IN VIETNAM

By Henry Ly

Vietnam started using AI in healthcare a few years ago. Ducosan, a
startup established in Ho Chi Minh City, is a website that links
patients and physicians. The fundamental idea is to employ technology
to speed up the selection of a doctor, the intake of new patients, and
the management of patient records.
THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND SECTION 230
[[link removed]]
By Jason Kelly and Chao Liu
Electronic Frontier Foundation
Thanks to Section 230 and the First Amendment, websites can take down
what they want. Section 230 is essential to smaller companies and
startups: “The big guys can take care of themselves,” but the
small guys should be able to compete with the big guys.
DIGITAL COLONIALISM

By Jinoy Jose P
Frontline
Whether its OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard or Meta’s Galactica,
chatbots powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) may help
create, in spite of all the benefits they claim to be bringing to
humanity’s table, an unequal world where the poor will be left to
the mercies of AI while the rich can have the best of both worlds,
feels AI expert and author Arvind Narayanan.
BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST TIKTOK
[[link removed]]
By Sara Morrison
Vox
The status quo — an impasse where TikTok operates as normal with the
seemingly empty threat of a ban hanging over its head — won’t be
tenable for much longer. But the choices that the US and TikTok's
China-based owner ByteDance are left with don’t seem very tenable,
either.
