1. France moves to force access to encrypted messages
-- Reclaim The Net reports that France has advanced a proposal requiring messaging providers to make encrypted communications accessible to authorities.
-- Mandatory access mechanisms would weaken end-to-end encryption for all users, increasing legal exposure for platforms and creating reusable attack paths for criminals and foreign intelligence services.
2. Canada’s House of Commons tracks online posts about MPs
-- Reclaim The Net says Canada’s House of Commons is monitoring social-media posts about members of Parliament.
-- Government monitoring of political speech can chill criticism and widen the boundary between threat assessment and surveillance of lawful civic activity.
3. Inflation worries push Musalem toward caution on rates
-- St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said uncertainty remains high and risks are shifting more toward inflation, according to Bloomberg.
-- A more inflation-sensitive Fed stance limits room for rate cuts even as markets rally on war-deal hopes, keeping financing conditions tighter for borrowers and high-duration assets.
4. New Mexico Meta trial opens with judge skeptical of surveillance demands
-- Reclaim The Net reports that a New Mexico case against Meta opened with the judge wary of the state’s broad demands for surveillance-related disclosures.
-- The case could shape how far states can push platforms for user-safety data without creating expansive discovery templates that expose private communications and moderation systems.
5. Core Scientific and Hut 8 surge on data-center expansion deals
-- Blockspace Media reports Core Scientific rose after announcing a 440 MW Oklahoma expansion, while Hut 8 jumped on a $9.8 billion lease with an undisclosed tenant.
-- Bitcoin miners are increasingly being valued as power and data-center operators, tying share prices less to hashprice alone and more to AI infrastructure demand and contract quality.
