Hillier says the changes are "critical to protecting the most vulnerable." Report by Covellm.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert with Kristin Cabot — the company’s Chief People Officer — and not his wife. The moment, captured on video and quickly spread across TikTok and X, has ignited a wave of online backlash.
