The situation raises concerns about whether Big Tech companies are complying with the spirit of European digital regulations.

FDA Advisory Panel Backs Adding Several Unproven Peptides to Approved List

An FDA advisory panel has recommended adding a number of peptides — short chains of amino acids — to the agency's bulk compounding list, despite limited clinical evidence supporting their safety or efficacy. Some panel members were noted to have a vested interest in the peptide industry, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. Among the substances endorsed was a combination known as the 'Wolverine stack,' which has been widely promoted by podcaster Joe Rogan and other social media influencers. The recommendation moves these compounds closer to broader legal availability through compounding pharmacies. The FDA will now consider the panel's advice before making a final regulatory decision.

Meta's Upbeat AI Ad Soundtracked by Bowie's Apocalyptic 'Five Years'

Meta has released a new advertisement promoting its artificial intelligence products, set to David Bowie's 1972 song 'Five Years.' The track, originally from Bowie's album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust,' is a dystopian ballad about humanity learning it has only five years left before Earth's destruction. The song contains lyrics such as 'Earth was really dying,' striking an ironic contrast with the ad's optimistic, feel-good tone. The choice of soundtrack has drawn attention for the apparent disconnect between the song's bleak subject matter and Meta's upbeat messaging around AI.

EPA Proposes Letting States Limit Public Input on Air Pollution Permits

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has put forward a rule change that would transfer authority over public engagement processes to individual states regarding air pollution permits. Under the proposed change, states would determine how much input communities have when companies apply for permits to emit pollutants. The move is seen as particularly beneficial for data centers, which are increasingly turning to fossil fuels to meet surging energy demands. Critics view the proposal as a rollback of public oversight on polluting facilities. The rule change is part of the broader Trump administration effort to reshape environmental regulation.
