(The Center Square) – Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed the last bills of the legislative session recently, less than two weeks after it officially ended. Those bills include everything from a human services omnibus bill to fraud mitigation and cannabis legislation. One of the most notable bills Walz signed was HF 4138, which amended the “Stop Harms From Addictive Social Media” act. Under its provisions, social media companies operating in Minnesota must ensure they obtain “verifiable parental consent” for children under 16 looking to make a social media account. Walz applauded this requirement. “As social media becomes more advanced, we need to make sure our families don’t fall victim to the powerful companies that use kids as a testing ground to make algorithms more addictive,” he said. “Privacy and safety have to come first. This bill puts families back in the driver’s seat and makes sure technology works for our kids, not the other way around.” The bill also requires privacy settings be the “most private” and avoid “addictive interface features” and “targeted paid commercial advertising.” “Addictive interface features” include infinite scrolling, auto playing videos, push notifications, etc. “SHASM is an important step forward in protecting Minnesota children and families by addressing the environment and influences that can contribute to harm, including online spaces,” said the Annunciation Light Alliance, a nonpartisan, parent-led advocacy group. “We are grateful to Governor Walz, bipartisan legislators, parents, students, and advocates who moved SHASM forward with courage and compassion, and we remain committed to working with Minnesota leaders on evidence-based solutions that help keep children safe at school, at home, in our communities, and online.” The internet trade group NetChoice testified against the bill. “The bill would compromise the data security of Minnesota families, restrict constitutionally protected speech and editorial judgment, and unleash a wave of litigation that would harm rather than help the children it claims to protect,” Amy Bos, NetChoice’s vice president of government affairs, said in a letter. The attorney general has oversight over the social media companies’ compliance with the regulations, meaning there could be legal action for a failure to comply. Parents and children are also granted a “private right of action,” something NetChoice’s testimony was particularly concerned about. “The legislature should, at minimum, strip the private right of action from this bill and rely instead on targeted, consistent, and expert-informed enforcement by the attorney general,” Bos said. This legislation is set to take effect July 1, 2027, but applies to all accounts – no matter when they were made. “In Minnesota, we’re not letting powerful companies use kids as a testing ground to make algorithms more addictive,” Walz posted to X following the bill’s signing. This is not the only action the Minnesota legislature has taken to address social media and minors. As exclusively reported on by The Center Square in April, the state is also facing a lawsuit for a new law requiring websites to display warnings about social media use. NetChoice argues in NetChoice v. Ellison that this law is a government attack on free speech and has asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota to declare the requirement unlawful. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, targets a provision of House File 2 set to take effect July 1. According to the lawsuit, the law would require a broad range of platforms to display a “state-authored warning” to every user “every single time they access the site,” regardless of age. “Websites would have to adopt the message as their own and display it to all users—minors and adults—any time the user visits the site,” Paul Taske, co-director of the NetChoice Litigation Center, told The Center Square. Advocates for the legislation say these mental health warning labels are important to protect Minnesotans. “I think the evidence is very clear that social media use is linked with depression, anxiety, loneliness, self harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, all sorts of terrible mental health conditions,” said Rep. Zack Stephenson, DFL-Coon Rapids and one of the sponsors of the bill, last July. But NetChoice argues that, despite lawmakers citing mental health concerns, the U.S. Constitution limits how the state can respond to those concerns. “The First Amendment isn’t just for the speech that everyone agrees with,” Taske said. “It’s for the unpopular speaker, publisher, and website. Otherwise, the government could label anything it dislikes as ‘harmful’ and force you to adopt its talking point.”

(The Center Square) – An Illinois lawmaker wants to create a law that would allow the state to take any funds paid out to an Illinois resident through the U.S. Department of Justice’s $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund," created as a result of a lawsuit President Donald Trump recently settled with the IRS. The proposal stems from an exchange on the social platform X between Illinois state Rep. Bob Morgan, D-Deerfield, and New York state Assemblyman and Congressional candidate Alex Bores, D-Manhattan. Great idea Alex - I will file a bill to do the same in Illinois and see if we can add it to our FY27 budget this week. Jan 6’er slush funds should be 100% taxed - I can think of quite a few health and human services agencies strangled by Trump Admin cuts who’d benefit. https://t.co/vLcfLUn3HB— Bob Morgan (@BobMorganIL) May 27, 2026 On the House floor Wednesday, Morgan told The Center Square the legislation is in the process of being introduced, and he hopes the language can be included in the final state budget. “The US Department of Justice created what they're calling the anti-weaponization fund – or as I call it the Jan. 6th and Insurrection Fund,” Morgan said. “Anybody who is enriching themselves by participating in part of an insurrection should definitely be taxed for that potential payout.” He said the law would tax any payout from the fund to an Illinois resident at 100%, allowing the state to effectively nullify the payout as part of a person’s state income tax return. According to DOJ-released info on the fund, the ability to apply and receive a payout does not have any partisan requirements, allowing anyone who feels they have been a target of the federal government to apply. The department does not specify if those assigned to approve claims will pay out to Jan. 6 attendees that have been pardoned by President Trump. The move to create the federal fund has been criticized at the national level by Democrats and Republicans, leading multiple GOP initiatives to stall in the U.S. Senate last week. A spokesperson for the Illinois House Republicans – along with multiple Republican lawmakers – all declined to comment on the proposal. The statewide Republican Party did not respond to a request for comment. Morgan also said the proposal would allow for the state to recoup a portion of the billions in federal funding cuts that he said have impacted the state. “We are looking for opportunities to make sure our values are reflected in this tight budget,” Morgan said. When asked if there are any concerns over privacy or the state overstepping, Morgan said he believes state tax law already has mechanisms in place that will require recipients to disclose the funds, though he didn’t specify how the law would single out recipients of these federal funds as opposed to other funds. Morgan said despite the legislation seeking to collect individual payouts intended for participants in the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol, the law would capture any money disbursed to a resident from the fund. During media availability Wednesday afternoon, California Gov. Gavin Newsom also announced he wants his state's legislature to move on the same initiative. “I suppose that [the fund] could result in family members of the President being enriched. If they're receiving money from this kind of a fund, then I think that would be taxed,” Morgan said. The legislation has not yet been introduced in the House, but Morgan said he has hopes that it will be considered by leadership as budget talks continue through the end of the weekend.

Étranglée financièrement par Israël qui retient plus de 4 milliards de dollars de recettes fiscales lui revenant, l’Autorité palestinienne peine de plus en plus à payer ses fonctionnaires. Avec parfois des mois de retard, certains employés palestiniens ne reçoivent désormais que la moitié de leur paye. Le mécontentement des professeurs et des médecins notamment gronde et les grèves se multiplient. Face à cette situation, l’Autorité palestinienne a décidé de lancer une application nommée « Yabus ». Elle doit permettre aux fonctionnaires de payer leurs factures d’eau, d'électricité et de téléphone. Alors, est-ce réellement une solution ?

Transporte marítimo - El recinto amplía terrenos ganados al mar y prepara nuevos atraques mientras varias zonas portuarias antiguas trasladarán allí sus mercancías durante los próximos años El estrecho de Malaca convirtió a Singapur en una parada difícil de esquivar para los grandes cargueros. Miles de barcos pasan cada año por esa ruta porque conecta las economías industriales de Asia con Europa, Oriente Medio y parte de África sin obligar a desvíos largos ni costosos. La ciudad-Estado apenas ocupa una pequeña franja de territorio, pero dedicó décadas a especializarse en mover mercancías más rápido que muchos rivales mucho mayores. Esa rapidez atrajo empresas, rutas comerciales y centros logísticos que acabaron alimentándose entre sí. El tamaño dejó de ser el principal problema cuando el país convirtió cada metro disponible en una pieza dedicada al tráfico marítimo y al negocio internacional. PSA International levanta una terminal gigantesca frente a Singapur Singapur está levantando el puerto automatizado más grande del planeta mediante una obra que incluye el hundimiento de 227 enormes bloques de hormigón en el mar. El proyecto Tuas Mega Port, impulsado por PSA International y supervisado por la Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, pretende reorganizar toda la actividad portuaria del país en una sola instalación capaz de gestionar hasta 65 millones de contenedores al año. Según Bloomberg, la inversión ronda los 14.000 millones de dólares y el complejo seguirá creciendo hasta 2040. Las obras avanzan por fases desde la apertura oficial del puerto en septiembre de 2022. La primera etapa contempla 21 muelles de aguas profundas y una capacidad cercana a los 20 millones de TEU anuales cuando esté completamente operativa en 2027. PSA ya trabaja en nuevos terrenos ganados al mar para ampliar el complejo, mientras parte de las terminales históricas del país se preparan para trasladar allí sus operaciones. El calendario prevé cerrar varios puertos antiguos a medida que Tuas gane superficie y capacidad. Los ingenieros hunden enormes cajones de hormigón bajo el mar La parte más llamativa del proyecto permanece bajo el agua. Los ingenieros están colocando 227 cajones huecos de hormigón armado, conocidos como caissons, que pesan unas 15.000 toneladas y alcanzan la altura aproximada de un edificio de diez plantas. Cada estructura se fabrica cerca de la obra, después se remolca hasta su posición definitiva y termina hundida sobre el lecho marino. Estos bloques forman un dique de unos 9,1 kilómetros que protege la futura zona portuaria del oleaje y permite crear nuevas plataformas sobre el mar. Parte de los cajones se rellenará con materiales de lastre para asegurar su estabilidad frente a las corrientes. Las obras avanzaron por etapas desde la apertura de 2022 La necesidad de construir sobre el mar tiene relación directa con la geografía del país. Singapur dispone de una superficie reducida y lleva décadas utilizando su situación estratégica como principal ventaja económica. El estrecho de Malaca funciona como uno de los corredores marítimos más transitados del planeta porque une las rutas comerciales del Este asiático con Europa y Oriente Medio. Desde el siglo XIX, cuando la British East India Company instaló allí un puerto intermedio, la ciudad fue creciendo como centro de trasbordo entre barcos de distintas rutas internacionales. Tuas reorganizará gran parte del tráfico pesado urbano La automatización ocupa un papel decisivo dentro de la estrategia de Tuas. PSA ya utiliza más de 200 vehículos guiados automáticos capaces de desplazarse sin conductor gracias a sistemas RFID y sensores instalados bajo tierra. Las grúas también funcionarán a distancia desde centros de control digital conectados mediante redes privadas 5G. Liang Hui Tan, vicepresidente de Desarrollo de Tuas y Tecnología Portuaria Estratégica de PSA, explicó que “las grúas de patio totalmente automatizadas y los vehículos guiados automatizados impulsarán nuestra eficiencia operativa”. La Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore trabaja además en sistemas de inteligencia artificial y seguimiento por satélite para coordinar el tráfico marítimo en tiempo real. La automatización cambió la competencia entre grandes puertos mundiales El nuevo puerto también reorganizará el funcionamiento interno de la ciudad-Estado. Actualmente, la actividad portuaria se reparte entre distintas terminales y obliga a mover mercancías por diferentes zonas urbanas. La concentración de todas las operaciones en Tuas reducirá parte del tráfico pesado dentro de la ciudad y liberará suelo para otros usos económicos. PSA presentó además el PSA Supply Chain Hub, un centro logístico valorado en 647,5 millones de dólares que servirá como apoyo directo al puerto. El primer ministro Lawrence Wong afirmó durante la inauguración que “será la puerta de Singapur al mundo”. Singapur quiere superar a Shanghái con el puerto Tuas Cuando el complejo esté terminado ocupará unas 1.337 hectáreas, una extensión parecida a más de 3.000 campos de fútbol. Sus 66 atraques se repartirán a lo largo de 26 kilómetros de costa preparados para recibir a los mayores buques portacontenedores del mundo. Singapur gestionó 41,12 millones de TEU en 2024, mientras Shanghái superó los 50 millones. La previsión es que Tuas permita superar esa barrera y prácticamente duplicar la capacidad que manejaba el país hace pocos años. La apuesta de Singapur refleja cómo ha cambiado la competencia marítima internacional. Muchos expertos llevan tiempo señalando que la actividad portuaria ya depende tanto de la automatización y de la velocidad logística como de la ubicación geográfica. El país asiático, por lo tanto, intenta aprovechar ambas ventajas al mismo tiempo. Aunque su tamaño siga siendo reducido en comparación con otros, su posición en las rutas marítimas y la capacidad tecnológica de sus puertos le permiten jugar en la misma liga que las mayores economías portuarias del planeta.
