Trump Admin Has Dropped a Third of All Investigations Into Big Tech, Advocates Say

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-01-11 08:15:41

Trump talked a big game during the election about taking the fight to Silicon Valley. But, since taking office, the former reality star seems to have done little to make good on that promise. In fact, a recent survey of his actions claims that Trump, whose political victory was partially propelled by gargantuan gobs of cash from tech firms and their executives, has dropped a third of all investigations and enforcement actions against tech companies since taking power.

The case for commuting by motorcycle

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-17 03:36:32

America has a motorcycle problem. Whereas the rest of the world views two-wheeled motorized transportation as transportation, the US sees motorcycles and scooters as toys. They're not something you use to commute to work or run errands. Instead, they're for riding to the coffee shop on weekends. This is a flawed line of thinking, and I'll tell you why, using two motorcycles as examples. But first, hear me out. I live in Los Angeles, which is famous for its hellacious traffic.
