Subject: US President Biden signs law to ban Huawei and ZTE from
receiving FCC licences
The Secure Equipment Act of 2021 received bipartisan support prior to it being
signed by Biden.
By Campbell Kwan
US President Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law bipartisan
legislation that will ban companies like Huawei and ZTE from getting
approval for network equipment licences in the US.
The legislation, Secure Equipment Act of 2021, will require the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt new rules that
clarify it will no longer review or approve any authorisation
applications for networking equipment that pose national security
threats.

Subject: A Frenzy of Book Banning
By Michelle Goldberg
Virginia's Spotsylvania County School Board this week voted
unanimously to have books with "sexually explicit" material removed
from school library shelves. For two members of the school board, this
didn't go far enough; they wanted to see the books incinerated. "I'm
sure we've got hundreds of people out there that would like to see
those books before we burn them," said one of the members, Kirk
Twigg. "Just so we can identify, within our community, that we are
eradicating this bad stuff."
