With the world's most powerful
tech companies under its jurisdiction,
California wields immense power as a state.
According to CNN, this is the most recent
example of California using that power
to influence policy at a national level.

The new law puts businesses, including Google, Meta
and Uber, in the difficult position of choosing sides, as

This is an important new area, this
contest between anti-choice legal
process and pro-choice blocking statutes,
and it is a matter that could work its way
up the courts to the highest court, Adam Schwartz, senior staff attorney
at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, via CNN.
Chamber of Progress, a tech trade group,
warns that the new law may put tech
companies between a rock and a hard place.
Red states and blue states are at war over
abortion, and online platforms are caught
in the crossfire.
California’s new law could
potentially have a big impact on protecting
reproductive privacy — but first it will create
a challenging conflict between state laws, Adam Kovacevich, Chamber of Progress CEO, via CNN
California Holds Out on Agreement , to Cut Colorado River Water Use.
'The Guardian' reports that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation previously called on states that rely on water from the Colorado River to come up with ideas to conserve 2 million to 4 million acre-feet of water.
The mid-August deadline proposed by the bureau lapsed, but some of those states have since reconvened and reached a consensus. .
'The Guardian' reports that six western states have agreed on a plan to dramatically cut use of Colorado River water.
However, California, which has the largest allocation of Colorado River water, is holding out.
State officials say they'll devise their own plan.
California remains focused on practical solutions that can be implemented now to protect volumes of water in storage without driving conflict and litigation, JB Hamby, chair of the Colorado River Board of California, via statement.
But Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming have decided to work together.
The states wish to raise water levels where reductions
would occur at Lake Mead and Lake Powell, effectively
creating a protective buffer for the reservoirs.
The model would also focus on water accounting
to ensure that water stored in Lake Mead by the
Lower Basin states is available for future use. .
The actions would reportedly result in
2 million acre-feet reductions in the
Lower Basin and smaller cuts in the Upper Basin.
'The Guardian' reports that an acre-foot of water is enough to supply two to three American households each year

Our determination is that the risk has sufficiently receded, and that we should therefore adhere to the two-year timeline we set out, Nick Clegg, Meta's President for Global Affairs, via Twitter.
The public should be able to hear what their politicians are saying — the good, the bad and the ugly — so that they can make informed choices at the ballot box, Meta, via news release.
Trump's Twitter account was also
reinstated in November following
Elon Musk's acquisition of the platform.
While Trump now primarily uses his own social media platform, Truth Social, it's unclear whether he will actually return to the other platforms.

Trump responded with criticism.

distorted and inhibited the public discourse, Trump campaign letter to Meta, via NBC.

Meta for a “meeting to discuss President Trump’s
prompt reinstatement to the platform.”.
