Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty recently revealed on social media the "Operation Chokepoint 2.0" action taken by US regulatory agencies against the cryptocurrency industry. He pointed out that since 2021, institutions such as the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC have pressured the cryptocurrency industry through bank regulatory policies, similar to the regulatory measures taken against specific industries such as gun shops in 2012. As a former general counsel for banks, Alderoty stated that the regulatory agencies' claim of "not preventing banks from serving cryptocurrency customers" actually implies "forget about it."

Meta to end third-party fact-checking in U.S. on April 7

Share link:In this post: Meta will shut down its U.S. third-party fact-checking program on April 7, 2025, ending partnerships with groups like PolitiFact. It will be replaced by Community Notes, a system that lets users add context to posts without triggering penalties. Zuckerberg criticized the old system as biased and overly censorious, and said the change aims to support free speech. Meta is also relocating its moderation teams to Texas, a move some experts say is politically motivated.
