California Attorney General Rob Bonta cautioned executives at social media and other tech companies to work harder to protect voters from "deception, intimidation, and dissuasion," ahead of the November election. The letter reviewed sections of California law that prohibit interference with voting rights by misleading people about voting place and time and by using intimidation tactics. The letter follows pop icon Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president on Tuesday night following the debate. Separately, X owner Elon Musk recently shared an AI-generated image portraying Harris dressed as a communist dictator. In August, an updated version of xAI's product, Grok-2, appeared to carry few limitations on creating fake images of political figures.

The Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that it has begun a research project examining the possible effects of toxic metals in tampons and that it is launching an independent review. A study published in July found a variety of metals, including arsenic, mercury and lead, in more than a dozen brands of tampons. While the study detected metals, it couldn’t conclude whether their existence led to any harm in the women. “Women use about 7,400 tampons over the course of their reproductive years, so the presence of potentially harmful metals and chemicals in these products is incredibly concerning,” caucus members wrote. “These initiatives will enable the FDA to complete a risk assessment of metals contained in tampons, based on a worst-case scenario of metal exposure,” the agency wrote.

Hours before the ban went into effect, numerous X users expressed how crucial the Brazilian community is to stan Twitter. Several Brazilian stan accounts shared their final posts with the tag #MeuUltimoTweet, or #MyLastTweet, and many have not posted since. The reaction from the international stan community to the Brazilian X ban underscores the contributions Brazilian fans have made to the evolution of online fandom. Brazilian fans have created popular memes, influenced how fans communicate with each other and introduced new terminology, Amado said. “Being a big stan account or an update account feels like it’s very invisible work,” Rodrigues said.

Pop superstar Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Tuesday night, minutes after the Democratic nominee finished a contentious debate with Donald Trump. Swift wrote that she was recently "made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site." But the singer had endorsed President Joe Biden and his then-running mate Harris in the 2020 election. Trump told reporters "I have no idea" when asked about Swift's endorsement of Harris on Tuesday. "I've done my research, and I've made my choice," Swift wrote.

The spokesperson declined to offer additional details, including the names of the officers who pulled Hill over and handcuffed the players, citing an ongoing internal affairs investigation. “I don’t want to speak for him, but it certainly felt like he wasn’t treated fairly,” Rosenhaus told NBC South Florida on Sunday. “Things escalated out of control.”A police union representative said Monday that Hill wasn’t cooperative and that he refused “to sit on the curb,” leading to his being “redirected” to the ground. The officer who has been put on administrative duty is a 25-year veteran of the department, according to the union. “When the officers were trying to talk to him, he was being very uncooperative,” Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, told NBC South Florida.

London CNN —Britain’s competition watchdog is investigating Ticketmaster over concerns the company treated customers unfairly when selling tickets to the upcoming Oasis reunion tour. The authority will also consider whether people were pressured to buy tickets quickly at a higher price than they understood they would have to pay. One individual posted on X that he had waited five hours to buy tickets only to receive a message that read: “Your session has been suspended.”Fans should be “treated fairly” when buying tickets, CMA CEO Sarah Cardell said in Thursday’s statement. Ticketmaster faced public scrutiny in November 2022 for its handling of the massively popular Taylor Swift Eras Tour. It was also caught in controversy after a blunder relating to sales of tickets for a concert to celebrate the ascension of King Charles to the British throne.
