When Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owner of The Los Angeles Times since 2018, hired Kevin Merida to be the newspaper’s top editor nearly three years ago, he hailed the journalist as someone who would maintain the publication’s high standards and journalistic integrity.
By this winter, the professional warmth between the two men had chilled.

But the proposals have faced push back from tech lobbyists and some digital rights groups, who argue they would undermine privacy protections and force platforms to inadvertently take down lawful posts. Other measures focus on giving prosecutors more tools to go after those who spread CSAM.

Wow! Thank you for the Walipini greenhouse links. I had read about the Nebraska guy once but this is amazing.
