The Supreme Court has refused to block enforcement of a Mississippi law aimed at regulating the use of social media by children. The case deals with an issue of growing national concern. The justices on Thursday rejected an emergency appeal from a tech industry group challenging laws passed in Mississippi and other states that require social media users to verify their ages. NetChoice, which brought the lawsuit, argues the Mississippi law threatens privacy rights and unconstitutionally restricts the free expression of users of all ages.

The Trump administration is pushing for Americans to upload personal health data to new apps run by private tech companies. This initiative aims to make accessing health records easier. Leaders from over 60 companies, including Google and Amazon, are meeting at the White House later Wednesday to discuss a "digital health ecosystem." The system will focus on diabetes, weight management, and digital tools for patient check-ins. Officials promise privacy and security, but experts warn of ethical concerns. Patients must opt in to share data, digital privacy advocates are skeptical that patients will be able to count on their data being stored securely.
