Criticizing Meta Does Not Mean Letting the Government Become the Product Manager—On “The Medium Is the Message,” Parental Responsibility, Corporate Deception, and State Paternalism

Criticizing Meta Does Not Mean Letting the Government Become the Product Manager—On “The Medium Is the Message,” Parental Responsibility, Corporate Deception, and State Paternalism
On August 12, a federal court in Oakland, California, began selecting a jury for a case that could reshape the boundaries of responsibility for social media. The states of California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey accuse Meta of deliberately designing Facebook and Instagram to keep minors using the products continuously, and of making misleading claims about their safety; 29 states also accuse Meta of collecting and using data from children under 13 without parental consent. Opening statements are expected to begin on August 18, and the trial may last six to eight weeks. The states are asking for more than compensation. They also want the court to order Meta to…

In the Name of Transparency, Opaque Watermarks—On the EU’s AI Text Marking Regulations

In the Name of Transparency, Opaque Watermarks—On the EU’s AI Text Marking Regulations
As of August 2, the transparency obligations of Article 50 of the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act have come into effect. Providers of AI systems that generate text, images, audio, and video must ensure that outputs carry machine-readable markings and can be identified as human-generated or human-modified; the publication of deepfake content, as well as AI text involving the public interest that has not been reviewed and edited under human responsibility, must also be disclosed to the public. The transparency code of conduct drafted by the EU is voluntary to participate in, but the Article 50 requirement itself is legally binding. With the new rules now in force, Anthropic announced that…

Women’s Sports Are Not an Identity Alliance—On Transgender Participation in Competition

Women’s Sports Are Not an Identity Alliance—On Transgender Participation in Competition
Two former NBA players, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, have recently announced in succession that they plan to seek entry into the 2027 WNBA draft as transgender women. Both men’s remarks clearly carry the flavor of political protest and a stress test of the rules, rather than an ordinary application for participation that has already been recognized by the league. The WNBA’s current collective bargaining agreement only stipulates that only female players are eligible to participate in the league, but it does not further specify whether “female” here is determined by gender identity, sex assigned at birth, physical development, or some other standard. League Commissioner Cathy Engelbertlater said that…

On Wang Hong, Math Olympiad Competitions, and the Freedom to Run Schools

Culture & Public Commentary2026.07.31
On Wang Hong, Math Olympiad Competitions, and the Freedom to Run Schools
On July 23, Wang Hong and Deng Yu received the 2026 Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Philadelphia. Both were undergraduate alumni of Peking University, class of 2007. The International Mathematical Union’s commendation of Wang Hong was not limited to her role in solving the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture; it also encompassed a series of achievements in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory, including problems such as local smoothing, Fourier restriction, Falconer distance sets, and planar Furstenberg sets. After the award was announced, Wang Hong’s student years were rapidly rewritten into several mutually opposed educational parables. One narrative emphasizes the foundational training in Peking University’s mathematics department,…

On Identity Impersonation, Freedom of Speech, and the Algorithmic Roots of Content Farms

On Identity Impersonation, Freedom of Speech, and the Algorithmic Roots of Content Farms
A batch of videos impersonating Jack Ma’s image and voice are on YouTube telling stories about Singapore—economic judgments, geopolitical rumors, and urban anecdotes. A CNA investigation found that from September 2025 to June 2026, a total of 32 YouTube channels published 300 such videos. Of these, 259 were deemed to contain at least one false or misleading claim, with cumulative views exceeding 1 million. Five channels also showed clear signs of coordinated operation: they were set up in clusters within five days, updated on highly synchronized schedules, and in some cases videos were uploaded by different channels just one second apart. These videos were not all intended to attack Singapore….

Put a Leash on AI, Not Pull Its Teeth — On Agent Safety: Capabilities Can Be Open, but Actions Must Be Bounded

Put a Leash on AI, Not Pull Its Teeth — On Agent Safety: Capabilities Can Be Open, but Actions Must Be Bounded
Introduction In July, OpenAI and Hugging Face successively disclosed a rare agent safety incident. In an internal test of cyber capabilities, OpenAI’s model, in order to complete the evaluation objective, discovered and exploited a software vulnerability, broke through the originally restricted testing environment, obtained internet access, and then entered Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. OpenAI called it an “unprecedented” cybersecurity incident; Hugging Face, for its part, said the attack process involved tens of thousands of automated actions, and that its post hoc analysis logs recorded more than 17,000 events. This kind of thing is very easy to package as a science-fiction story about “AI developing self-awareness and trying to escape.” But…

AI Should Be Born Bearing Sin
— After Stealing the Fruit of Wisdom, the way to atone is not to pay copyright taxes, but to open one’s own fruits of wisdom Hu Yilin (independent scholar) (polished by ChatGPT5.6solPro AI, with original prompt appended) A U.S. court approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit by authors. The earlier ruling drew a very interesting distinction: using books to train AI can constitute fair use, but Anthropic’s storing more than seven million pirated books in a “central library” that may not even be used for training could still infringe copyright. The law thereby drew a boundary: learning is not necessarily illegal, but stolen books do not automatically…

If Trump’s Information Can Be Sold, Why Can’t the Teleprompter Operator Make Money? — On the Truth API and the White House “Insider Betting” Investigation

If Trump’s Information Can Be Sold, Why Can’t the Teleprompter Operator Make Money? — On the Truth API and the White House “Insider Betting” Investigation
Behind the Truth API and the White House “insider betting” investigation: what is the real problem, after all — profiting from information, or who monopolizes information and power? Introduction On July 16, two pieces of news that seemed to contradict each other appeared at the same time. Trump Media & Technology Group announced the launch of Truth API, selling financial institutions a low-latency data interface for major Truth Social accounts. The company said the service could deliver machine-readable data to institutional clients at millisecond speed, is scheduled to open on August 1, and is being positioned as a new long-term recurring revenue source. Trump’s remarks often move expectations around tariffs,…

On the Structural Biases of European Financial Regulation: Regulation Should Not Eliminate Voluntary Risk on Behalf of the Public, but Rather Restrain Risk Spillovers, Information Asymmetry, and Systemic Harm.

On the Structural Biases of European Financial Regulation: Regulation Should Not Eliminate Voluntary Risk on Behalf of the Public, but Rather Restrain Risk Spillovers, Information Asymmetry, and Systemic Harm.
Interviewee: Hu Yilin　｜　Draft completed on July 16, 2026 A thought-provoking juxtaposition has recently emerged in European financial regulation: on the one hand, the EU is discussing reducing some banks’ capital and reporting burdens in the name of “competitiveness” and “simplification”; on the other hand, the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) requires issuers of e-money tokens to place the funds they receive under strict safeguarding arrangements, with at least 30% deposited in credit institutions and the rest invested only in safe, low-risk, highly liquid assets; for tokens deemed “significant,” the minimum bank-deposit ratio may even rise to 60%. At the same time, a £5 million personal gift linked to stablecoin…

After Academic Fraud, Public Trust Should Be Reduced to Zero: On the Jiang Fangzhou Incident, University Autonomy, and a High-Trust Society
Two official notices, nine overlapping passages, and one revoked master’s degree. The real question raised by this celebrity academic controversy is: after a breach of trust, which old credits must be reset to zero, and who has the authority to decide when trust may be restored? Introduction Within eight days, two official notices reached opposite conclusions. On July 5, 2026, Renmin University of China said that Jiang Fangzhou’s master’s thesis contained some irregularities in notes and textual expression, but no academic misconduct was found; on July 13, after reopening the case on the basis of new leads, the university determined that nine passages in the thesis overlapped textually with an…
