SCOOP: OpenAI's Sam Altman had last-minute concerns about California legislation that proposed some of the nation's strictest kids' safety rules for AI chatbots.
So, he reached out directly to Gavin Newsom to air them, four sources tell @ChaseDiFelice and I.

Ahead of Hungary’s election next month, deepfake videos targeting opposition leader Péter Magyar are spreading widely online, much of it amplifying narratives pushed by PM Viktor Orbán’s allies.
For Brussels, the surge poses an awkward problem.

Governments should halt plans to roll out age checks on online services until privacy and security concerns are addressed, hundreds of academics said today.

Wonderful discussion with @JonHaidt @VeronikaCifrova and @swheaton. I think this story is the most important (even beyond our portfolio). Whatever cause you care about, it will eventually be the responsibility of the next generation.
I'm just returning from a visit to Brussels where I learned so much about the EUs efforts to protect children online. They are moving! They have already blocked chatbot toys and teddy bears.
I talked with @VeronikaCifrova, @egreechee, and @swheaton on a Politico podcast...

well I know what I am doing tomorrow
🚨@JudiciaryGOP subpoenaed Europe’s secret 183-page censorship order to X 🚨
The @EU_Commission’s first ever fine under the Digital Services Act (DSA) was against @X and @elonmusk for €120 million—nearly 6% of its GLOBAL revenue—for defending free speech.
Now we know why: Leftist Euro bureaucrats fined X because it innovated its blue checkmark system and refused to give into demands from misinformation pseudoscientists.
🧵Read below to see what the Europeans didn’t want Americans, or anyone else, to see. ⬇️
