The Trump Admin’s Own Investigators Found No EU Internet Censorship. So They Ignored The Findings.
The Washington Post just published a deeply reported story about the Trump administration’s campaign to ‘expand free speech’ in Europe. That headline alone should tell you something about how the story is framed — it takes the administration’s self-description at face value, as though we’re watching some noble effort to export the First Amendment across the Atlantic. But if you get past the incredibly misleading headline, the actual reporting reveals quite an admission from within the administration, and it fundamentally undercuts everything they’ve been doing supposedly regarding ‘EU internet censorship.’ The story reveals that the Trump administration ran its own investigation into EU censorship, found nothing , and then barreled ahead with the entire crusade anyway. Worth repeating, because it’s the whole story (even if WaPo buried it with their headline): the Trump admin investigated ‘EU censorship.’ The Trump admin came up empty . And then the administration just kept going as if it were undeniable that what their own investigators couldn’t find must have happened anyway. The Post’s opening gets to it relatively quickly, but treats it as mere scene-setting rather than the incredible revelation it actually is: ‘There is no evidence.’ That’s the conclusion of the Trump administration’s own investigators, put in writing. And then, an even more remarkable quote from someone involved: ‘It was not politically convenient that we could not find anything.’ That is quite an admission. A government official is telling you directly that the conclusions were inconvenient, and therefore irrelevant. The investigation was entirely about manufacturing justification for a policy that was already decided. When the justification didn’t materialize, they just ignored it and moved forward anyway. This is the hallucination presidency in action: when the facts don’t match the narrative, just assert the narrative anyway and hope no one checks. The Washington Post, to its credit, did the hard reporting here and obtained those quotes. But the headline (‘Inside the Trump administration’s campaign to expand ‘free speech’ in Europe’) and subhed (‘The United States has banned some European researchers from entering the country and dismantled federal programs intended to fight foreign disinformation campaigns’) describe the administration’s actions without conveying the most explosive finding of the piece: that the evidentiary foundation for all of these actions does not exist . The actual story here is far bigger than the Post’s framing lets on. Because here’s what the administration did after its own investigators told them there was no evidence of EU censorship: pretty much everything you could imagine a government would do if it had found evidence. Yes, there is literally going to be a government website with a Paul Revere figure galloping over the words ‘Freedom is coming.’ Your tax dollars at work. There is a certain kind of person in government who genuinely confuses propaganda aesthetics with policy substance, and this is a pristine example. The State Department’s official response to the Post is also worth noting for its brazenness: They’re claiming they ‘never concluded’ that the DSA wasn’t censorship — even though their own staffers put it in writing that they found no evidence of censorship. The scare quotes around ‘concluded’ are doing a lot of heavy lifting there. They’re trying to gaslight their own investigation. Now, I want to be clear about something. I have been critical of aspects of the DSA for years. There are real concerns about how expansive content regulation can be abused — by governments on either side of the Atlantic. When former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton tried to use the DSA to pressure Elon Musk into not platforming Donald Trump, I called it out as

3 AI Shifts That Will Reshape Your Workplace in 2026
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI in the workplace is set to transition from repetitive tasks to strategic decision-making, with a focus on AI training and seeing AI as a teammate. Executives are using AI for strategic work, but there’s a gap with employee utilization that can be bridged with proper education and role enhancement. AI skills are becoming crucial across roles, leading to an emphasis on both hiring specialized talent and upskilling current employees. Many of the conversations we’re hearing around AI are still very future-focused. There’s a lot of hype around AI — and rightfully so — but so far, much of its real-world impact has only scratched the surface of what it’s truly capable of. This is especially true in the workplace. Companies have spent the last few years rapidly implementing AI tools into the workplace with the intention of automating repetitive tasks, managing workflows and turning data into insights that employees can actually use. But executives’ high expectations for AI are often misaligned with how employees are actually using the technology: More than half of employees say they primarily use AI tools to double-check their work (54%) and draft emails, reports or other written content (52%). While these use cases are driving efficiencies in the workplace, they showcase only a portion of AI’s potential. AI can play a leading role in day-to-day execution and strategy, too. Many managers and executives are hoping to close the gap between how AI is currently being used and what it can do by leading by example. Compared to employees, managers are using AI for more strategic work, including analyzing team and business data (56%), conducting research (52%) and managing team priorities (47%). One area where AI is playing a particularly impactful role is in go-to-market strategies: 68% of managers say they have saved a week or more in their go-to-market process with the technology. At Infragistics, we’re leveraging AI to identify product-market fit for new and existing products, create and refine messaging for each of our target audiences and track and measure performance in real-time. Through our data-driven work management platform Slingshot, we’re also powering other companies to accelerate and improve their go-to-market processes. The potential for AI to move beyond assisting and begin leading smarter business decisions is already here, but it’s up to companies to unlock its full capabilities for employees. This includes training, education and thoughtful hiring — which many companies will focus on in 2026. As AI evolves from an assistant this year, here are three ways it will reshape the workplace: 1. AI training will become as essential as any other workplace training AI has the power to improve productivity and efficiency — and ultimately drive the bottom line — but its impact is limited if employees don’t know how to use it effectively. Many companies have already implemented AI employee education, but it will become more of a priority in 2026. They’ll put a focus on AI training and education before they expand their tech stacks any further, to ensure employees unlock its full potential in the workplace. This means making AI education part of every employee’s onboarding checklist and requiring training, just as they do with security or compliance. This will not only help employers fully realize their AI vision, but employees will feel more empowered to focus on more strategic work rather than spend their time on repetitive, low-value tasks. 2. Employees will see AI as a teammate, not just a tool As employees become more confident with AI, they’ll start to see it no longer as

Kharge urges Rjiju to convene an All-Party meet on Nari Vandan Adhiniyam amendment
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has written to Union Minister for Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju, urging the Government to convene an All-Party meeting to discuss the proposed amendment to the Nari Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023.
In his letter, Kharge stated that the Government appears to be planning a further amendment to the Constitution Amendment passed in September 2023. He emphasised that all Opposition parties reiterate their demand for an All-Party meeting to deliberate on the proposed changes.
Kharge suggested that, to make the meeting productive, the Government should circulate a note detailing the exact proposals. He further requested that the meeting be held after the current round of Assembly elections concludes on April 29, 2026.
As per the top sources, the Government has planned two major amendments. 2023’s Nari Shakti Vandan Act tied women’s reservation to the new census and delimitation. Due to census delays, the plan is to proceed with the 2011 census data. The 2011 census is to be the basis for delimitation and seat redistribution. Lok Sabha seats may increase from 543 to 816 post-amendment.
A bill will be introduced in Parliament to amend the Nari Shakti Vandan Act.
A separate Delimitation Bill will be introduced. Both bills need to be passed as Constitutional amendments for women’s reservation. The new Lok Sabha is likely to have more than 800 seats. Keeping up with the status quo, there is no provision for OBC reservation, and SC/ST reservation will continue. However, states won’t have a role; the bill passed by Parliament will apply to them.
Currently, the Lok Sabha has 543 seats. With a proposed 50% increase, the number of seats will rise to 816, with 273 (about a third) reserved for women.
The government’s key point is that they won’t wait for a new census to give women, comprising half the country’s population, fair representation in Parliament. Instead, delimitation will be done using the 2011 census data.
The Home Minister led a crucial meeting with NDA parliamentary floor leaders, discussing the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Act. Shah has briefed several opposition leaders on the proposed plan. The opposition supports women’s reservation, but discussions are ongoing to build consensus on seat distribution and delimitation.
If passed, this bill will be India’s biggest democratic shift since independence, giving the country 273 women MPs by 2029. The 2029 general elections will see contests on 816 Lok Sabha seats, changing the majority mark from 272 (for 543 seats) to 409. (ANI) -
TIA Advances AI‑Ready Data Centers with New ANSI/TIA‑942 Addendum, Global Certification Leadership, and Expanded Industry Quality Initiative
New initiatives reflect growing industry alignment as AI accelerates data center scale, complexity, and deployment timelines ARLINGTON, Va., March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence (AI) workloads drive unprecedented changes in data center design, performance, and operational risk, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) today announced a coordinated set of actions to help the industry meet AI‑era infrastructure requirements. These include the launch of a new Artificial Intelligence addendum to the ANSI/TIA ‑ 942 data center standard, continued global leadership in independent third‑party data center certification, and expanding participation in TIA’s new Data Center Excellence Quality Standard (DCE 9000) initiative. Together, these efforts reflect TIA’s end‑to‑end approach to strengthening AI‑ready digital infrastructure—from defining infrastructure requirements for high‑density, high‑performance computing environments, to validating reliability through globally recognized certification, to improving quality and consistency across the data center supply chain. As AI accelerates data center scale, complexity, and deployment timelines, TIA’s standards and certification programs are providing the industry with a common, credible framework to manage risk, improve predictability, and support resilient digital infrastructure worldwide. Advancing ANSI/TIA ‑ 942 to Address AI Data Center Requirements To support the next generation of AI‑driven data centers, TIA Engineering Committee TR ‑ 42.1 (Premises Telecommunications Infrastructure) has initiated a project to develop Addendum 1: Artificial Intelligence to ANSI/TIA ‑ 942 ‑ C, focused on the unique infrastructure demands of AI and HPC environments. AI workloads—characterized by dense GPU clusters, extreme bandwidth requirements, and new power and cooling models—are placing unprecedented demands on data center infrastructure. The addendum will focus on high‑density, high‑speed cabling for AI and HPC environments, along with cooling and electrical systems, including liquid cooling, to support reliable, scalable data center and digital infrastructure deployments. The project is being developed through TIA’s voluntary consensus‑based standards process with participation from data center owners and operators, designers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders supporting digital infrastructure. Publication of the addendum is targeted for mid‑2027. “This work reflects direct input from across the data center ecosystem,” said Cindy Montstream, Chair, TIA TR ‑ 42 Engineering Committee. “By evolving ANSI/TIA‑942 to address AI‑specific infrastructure needs, we’re aligning real‑world operational experience with globally recognized standards that support scalable, reliable data center design and operation.” Global Data Center Certification Supporting Proven Infrastructure Performance In parallel with standards development, TIA continues to support the global data center community through its ANSI/TIA ‑ 942 Certification Program, which validates facilities against the standard’s infrastructure requirements and four rated levels of reliability. To date, over 1,000 certifications in more than 800 data centers across 60+ countries have earned ANSI/TIA‑942 certification, demonstrating predictable availability and resilience across diverse operating environments. As AI workloads accelerate new data center construction worldwide, certification provides operators, customers, and investors with independent validation that facilities are designed to meet defined reliability objectives critical to digital infrastructure performance. Strengthening the Data Center Supply Chain with DCE 9000 Recognizing that reliable data center operations depend not only on facility design but also on the quality and consistency of the infrastructure supply chain, TIA launched the Data Center Excellence Quality Standard (DCE 9000) initiative. As announced on February 25, 2026, DCE 9000 is a collaborative effort to establish the first quality management system (QMS) standard purpose‑built for data center physical infrastructure, supporting reliable, scalable digital infrastructure deployments worldwide. Built on the ISO 9001 High‑Level Structure and informed by best practices from highly mature industries, DCE 9000 is designed to improve supplier maturity and proactively address quality risks across the data center infrastructure lifecycle. The initiative is gaining strong momentum, with participation expanding across the data center ecosystem—from operators and hyperscalers to equipment manufacturers and

Strikes hit Iran as Tehran targets Israel and Gulf states
With thousands more US marines on their way to the Gulf, both sides firing intense barrages and Iran denying any negotiations are taking place, the war’s tempo remained high a day after Mr Trump delayed his self-imposed deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran’s chokehold on that crucial waterway has snarled international shipping, sent fuel prices skyrocketing, and threatened the world economy. Pakistan has offered to host diplomatic talks, according to officials from there and two other countries involved. But Iran remained defiant on Tuesday, with the spokesman of its top military command saying that the armed forces would fight ‘until complete victory’. Any talks between the US and Iran – which appeared at the most tentative on Tuesday – would face monumental challenges. Many of Washington’s shifting list of objectives – particularly over Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programmes – remain difficult to achieve. Meanwhile, it is not clear who in Iran’s government would have the authority to negotiate – or be willing to, particularly as Israel has vowed to continue taking out leaders after killing several. Iran also remains highly suspicious of the United States, which twice under the Trump administration has attacked during high-level diplomatic talks, including with the February 28 strikes that started the current war. While Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf called the idea of negotiations with the US ‘fakenews’, foreign minister Abbas Araghchi’s office acknowledged he has been talking about the war this week with his counterparts in Azerbaijan, Egypt, Oman, Pakistan, Russia, South Korea, Turkey and Turkmenistan. Rubble covers the furniture of a destroyed living room in a residential building hit in an earlier US-Israeli strike in Tehran, Iran (Vahid Salemi/AP) The US had agreed ‘in principle’ to join talks in Pakistan, according to three Pakistani officials, one Egyptian official and a Gulf diplomat, while mediators were still working to convince Iran. The Pakistani officials said the ‘quiet diplomacy’ had grown more complicated since news of Pakistan’s attempts leaked. And in fact, Major General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, spokesman of Iran’s top military command, issued a defiant statement. Iranian state television quoted Maj Gen Aliabadi as saying: ‘Iran’s powerful armed forces are proud, victorious and steadfast in defending Iran’s integrity, and this path will continue until complete victory.’ The general did not say what ‘complete victory’ would look like, but it appeared likely Iran’s military was trying to warn against offering concessions in any possible negotiations. The Egyptian official said efforts are centred on ‘trust-building’ between the US and Iran, with the aim of bringing about a pause in the fighting. Israeli security and rescue forces respond at the site of an Iranian missile strike in Tel Aviv (Ohad Zwigenberg/AP) Israel is not involved. The official, who is involved in the efforts, said the priority is to prevent attacks on both Iran’s and Gulf Arab countries’ energy infrastructure and that they were working on a ‘mechanism’ for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Talk of negotiations briefly drove down oil prices and boosted stocks. But that respite was short-lived, with the price of Brent crude, the international standard, nudging back over 100 dollars a barrel on Tuesday, up nearly 40% since the war started. Mr Trump’s announcement came as a contingent of thousands of marines is on the way to the region, raising speculation that the US may try to seize Kharg Island, which is vital to the country’s oil network. The US bombed the island in the Persian Gulf more than a week ago, hitting its defences but saying it had left oil infrastructure intact. Iran has threatened

Claude’s New Computer Control Feature Could Let AI Work While You’re Away
Anthropic is redefining how people interact with artificial intelligence by giving its Claude assistant the ability to control a user’s computer directly. Instead of sitting at a desk and manually guiding the AI, users can now grant Claude full system access and let it complete tasks independently.
With this new capability, Claude can operate a computer much like a human would. It can move the cursor, type using the keyboard, view the screen, open applications, browse the web, manage spreadsheets, and handle everyday digital tasks. The goal is simple: allow work to continue even when the user is away.
The company announced the feature on X, describing it as a step toward turning Claude into a truly independent digital worker rather than just a responsive chatbot. By combining system access with task automation, Anthropic is positioning Claude as a personal AI agent that can execute real work on a user’s behalf.
Anthropic researcher Alex Albert highlighted the shift in how people may soon work with AI. He wrote on X, ‘The future where I never have to open up my laptop to get work done is becoming real very fast.’
The future where I never have to open up my laptop to get work done is becoming real very fast https://t.co/MVhyasmN3A — Alex Albert (@alexalbert__) March 23, 2026
The feature builds on Anthropic’s recently introduced ‘Dispatch’ capability, which already allows users to control Claude remotely via mobile devices. Together, these tools enable a workflow where instructions can be sent from anywhere while Claude carries out tasks on a connected computer.
Explaining how the system functions, Anthropic’s Felix Rieseberg said Claude first connects to approved applications such as Slack or Calendar. If additional tools are needed, the assistant requests user permission before proceeding. Once access is granted, Claude can navigate software environments and complete assignments without further supervision.
This setup effectively turns Claude into a remote digital assistant. Users can issue prompts, step away from their devices, and return later to find their work completed. The experience resembles having an AI employee handling routine computer-based responsibilities in the background.
Felix Rieseberg emphasized the extent of system integration, stating that Claude can now access a laptop’s mouse, keyboard, and screen.
Today, we’re releasing a feature that allows Claude to control your computer: Mouse, keyboard, and screen, giving it the ability to use any app.
I believe this is especially useful if used with Dispatch, which allows you to remotely control Claude on your computer while you’re… pic.twitter.com/tthl6vpID2 — Felix Rieseberg (@felixrieseberg) March 23, 2026
At present, the capability is being offered as a limited research preview. Access is restricted to paid users of Claude Cowork and Claude Code. Additionally, the feature currently supports only macOS devices.
To use it, both the Claude Desktop application and the Claude mobile app must be updated and paired. This ensures secure connectivity and full remote functionality.
Anthropic’s move reflects a larger industry push toward agentic AI systems that act autonomously rather than waiting for step-by-step human input. Automation, remote task execution, and intelligent workflow management are becoming central to next-generation AI products.
Competitive pressure is also mounting. AI agents similar to OpenClaw are gaining traction, and major technology companies are accelerating development in this space. Nvidia has introduced its own OpenClaw-style system called NemoClaw, while Meta and OpenAI are investing heavily in agent-based AI platforms.
By enabling direct computer control, Anthropic is betting that users want AI systems that do more than generate text — they want assistants that take action. -
Samsung Ordered to Pay Galaxy S22 Users: The GOS Controversy Ends! (2026)
Samsung’s GOS saga is officially closed, but the headlines leave us with a few stubborn takeaways about how tech giants balance performance, transparency, and consumer trust in an era of smoothed optimization. Personally, I think the four-year arc of the Game Optimizing Service controversy offers a broader lesson about the implicit social contract between device makers and users: you can tune systems for safety and longevity, but you should not obscure what you’re doing or gate it behind a black box. A fresh start with a costly reminder What began as a practical feature—throttling processing to keep Galaxy S22s from overheating—spiraled into a consumer rights crisis. The core idea was simple: protect hardware, protect user experience, protect brand reputation. Yet the backlash arose from opacity. If a feature quietly censors hardware, consumers rightly demand to know where, when, and why. The Seoul High Court’s ruling—ordering Samsung to compensate Galaxy S22 users—signals the judiciary’s stance that transparency matters, even in the name of performance guardrails. From my perspective, the court acknowledges that consumer consent requires clarity, not just utility. Why this matters beyond one model – The health of the device ecosystem hinges on trust. If users feel they’re being nudged or deceived, even for ostensibly beneficial purposes, trust frays. This is not a single-phone story; it’s a litmus test for how future software governance on devices should work. – Performance optimization is inevitable in a crowded app landscape. But the more critical question becomes: who controls the knobs, and what oversight exists? If GOS-like features become invisible defaults, people miss the chance to opt in or out, calibrate preferences, or understand the trade-offs between speed, battery life, and heat. – Legal and regulatory expectations are tightening around digital transparency. The initial ruling flagged misleading advertising, and the subsequent enforcement shows that courts can—and will—translate consumer confusion into compensation. That matters for every hardware maker that leans on ‘smart optimization’ as a narrative crutch. What makes this controversy fascinating is not just the tech detail but the cultural moment it reveals. In an age where devices are designed to optimize themselves for you, the question shifts from ‘Can we do it?’ to ‘Should we do it without explaining it?’ In my view, the most telling moment is not the cooling tax on performance but the insistence on disclosure. If users don’t know what’s happening under the hood, they cannot make informed judgments about trade-offs that affect daily life—gaming latency, battery longevity, device heat, and even resale value. Three layers of commentary on the ruling – Technical layer: GOS throttling affected CPU and GPU across thousands of apps, aiming to prevent overheating. What I find notable is that the throttling didn’t trigger during certain benchmark tests. That discrepancy points to a mismatch between the company’s performance narratives and real-world behavior. It also raises questions about how to design testing regimes that reflect everyday usage rather than synthetic peaks. – Consumer rights layer: The plaintiffs framed this as deception in advertising. If you cannot turn off the feature or cannot easily understand its presence, you’re effectively signing up for a hidden optimization. That’s not merely a quirk of marketing; it’s a fundamental issue about informed consent in consumer technology. – Corporate governance layer: Samsung faced a long legal process, including multiple mediation attempts before a final administrative remedy. The takeaway here is that resolving these disputes may require formal mediations and, eventually, a binding decision. The cost—financial and reputational—signals to industry players that ‘quiet optimization’ carries a real potential for backlash and regulation. Deeper implications for the industry What this episode suggests is

SoundHound AI stock advances on Peet’s Coffee nationwide rollout amid AI retail push
SoundHound AI (ISIN: US83614P1030) expands its voice AI Employee Assist to all Peet’s Coffee stores, testing real-world retail adoption. This chainwide deployment on Nasdaq highlights execution in conversational AI, drawing investor focus as the stock trades at $6.55 USD. DACH investors eye growth potential in Europe’s AI market. SoundHound AI has launched its voice-powered Employee Assist agent across every Peet’s Coffee store in the US, marking a shift from pilots to full-scale retail deployment. This rollout, announced recently, integrates hands-free AI for baristas to access real-time info on orders, training, and workflows. For the Nasdaq-listed stock (SOUN), last seen at $6.55 USD, it underscores traction in conversational AI amid ongoing losses and leadership changes. As of: 23.03.2026 By Dr. Elena Voss, Senior AI Markets Analyst – Tracking voice AI deployments from Silicon Valley to European enterprise adoption, where scalable retail use cases could redefine efficiency for DACH firms. From Pilot to Nationwide: Peet’s Rollout Details The deployment covers all Peet’s locations, building on successful pilots. SoundHound’s ‘BaristAI’ enables staff to query inventory or recipes conversationally without screens. This edge AI runs locally, minimizing latency in busy stores. Peet’s, a premium coffee chain, chose SoundHound for its agentic capabilities over generic chatbots. Early feedback points to faster service and reduced training time. Investors see this as proof of scalability beyond automotive and IoT roots. For SoundHound AI stock on Nasdaq, the news arrives as shares sit at $6.55 USD, down 33.6% over the past year but up 211.9% in three years. Year-to-date decline of 38.2% reflects broader AI sentiment swings. Strategic Timing Amid Executive Shifts CEO James Hom steps in as interim CFO during a transition, adding urgency to demonstrate revenue ramps. The Peet’s expansion provides a live case study for enterprise sales. It coincides with Experis naming SoundHound exclusive AI partner and edge AI demos at NVIDIA GTC. These moves position SoundHound against giants like Alphabet and Amazon in voice tech. Retail focus diversifies from restaurant orders, where it powers drive-thrus. Management emphasizes agentic AI—systems that act autonomously. Why the Market Cares Now Conversational AI hype meets reality in retail ops. Peet’s validates SoundHound’s tech at scale, critical for investor confidence. With revenue growth forecast but profitability years away, execution trumps promises. Stock volatility—3-year gains versus recent drops—ties to deployment milestones. Broader AI sector scrutiny amplifies this: can niche players like SoundHound secure foothold? Partnerships signal yes, but numbers will tell. Edge AI focus differentiates, running on-device for privacy and speed. NVIDIA tie-ins boost credibility in hyperscaler ecosystems. Official source Find the latest company information on the official website of SoundHound AI. Visit the official company website Investor Relevance for DACH Markets German-speaking investors should note SoundHound’s European footprint, including Germany, France, and beyond. Voice AI fits DACH’s automation push in retail and hospitality. Firms like REWE or Migros could mirror Peet’s for efficiency. EU AI Act compliance gives edge-deployed solutions advantage over cloud-heavy rivals. DACH funds favor scalable SaaS with recurring revenue—SoundHound’s model aligns. Exposure via Nasdaq offers diversification from Xetra heavies. With AI capex rising in Europe, SoundHound’s retail proof could attract partnerships. Watch for Q1 earnings to gauge Peet’s impact on bookings. Risks and Execution Challenges SoundHound remains unprofitable, with losses forecast to persist. Scaling Peet’s-like deals risks cost overruns if adoption lags. Competition from Big Tech looms large. CFO transition raises reporting flags. Revenue growth hinges on repeat contracts; pilot-to-scale jumps often falter. Cash burn demands discipline amid $6.55 USD Nasdaq levels. Macro slowdowns hit retail IT budgets. Investors weigh if ‘agentic’ edge translates to margins before 2028. Further reading Further developments, updates, and context on
