• California passes Prop 36, getting tougher on crime

• Max’s password crackdown

• 4 quick hits of news from the last 24 hours

California passes Prop 36

California passed Proposition 36 -- allowing certain misdemeanors like theft and drug possession to be treated as felonies. LA Times says that's not good news, though: It marks a rollback in criminal justice reform efforts.

But AOL thinks Prop 36 won't just lead to harsher penalties. Californians still largely favor rehabilitation over incarceration. Proposition 36 doesn't roll back reform!

And Cal Matters argues that Prop 36 balances punishment and rehab: It gets tough on repeat offenders while offering redemption through drug treatment.

For what it's worth, Bloomberg says retail theft is to blame for the uptick in Proposition 36 support: Major retailers back the move towards stricter crime policies.

Max’s password crackdown

Warner Bros Discovery has a new strategy to boost revenue: Cracking down on password-sharing! Cord Cutters News explains the move is aimed at getting multi-household users to pay more.

TechRadar thinks it's a good idea: Max's password crackdown could lead to a real bump in subscriber numbers -- as shared account users may choose to pay up.

And BGR says Max's plan isn't just talk -- the crackdown is set to begin soon. Users, prepare yourself!

On the other hand, HowToGeek says the crackdown may take a few years to fully implement. Consumers probably won't be happy about the change.
