Experts say Ratepayer Protection Act ‘posing as a consumer protection measure’ and will raise prices on working people The bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act , designed to shield individuals from soaring electricity prices amid the datacenter boom, would fail to meaningfully protect the public from the centers’ true costs, consumer advocates warn. The bill, backed by some in big tech such as Microsoft, moved through a House subcommittee in mid-June, and a vote in full committee scheduled for 1 July was delayed.

Illegal online casinos are producing fake BBC stories and AI-generated videos in an attempt to deceive customers Respect of copyright law has never ranked highly in the list of priorities for unlicensed sports betting operators.

Cease-and-desist letters will b
