🚫 Google’s possible news ban

🚫 A proposed California law might require big tech to pay for news. Google said it would block news in California in response. The SF Chronicle says: Shame on you, Google.

🚫 Yahoo agrees: Google's “test” ban on California news is a threat to democracy. We need the California Journalism Preservation Act for fair compensation.

🚫 WaPo also agrees with the criticism. Google's news block in California is a “temper tantrum” against fair journalism funding.

🚫 Axios: By the way, this drama is also setting up a showdown with big news, like the Alden group. Beware Alden's secret influence in anti-Google pieces.

🚫 Here's Google's explanation for the ban: Paying for every link out would be totally unworkable. And the "ban" is just a test for a small set of people.

🏛️ SCOTUS on tents

🏛️ The Economist: The Supreme Court will decide whether bans on sleeping and camping in public are legal under the 8th Amendment — which bans cruel and unusual punishment.

🏛️ Vox thinks banning (and criminalizing) homelessness very well might be unconstitutional under the 8th Amendment.

🏛️ But The Federalist insists that SCOTUS must reject the “right to housing” as a constitutional myth.

🏛️ NYT: What we really need is for the government to tackle homelessness with good, humane policy.
