As @ajdell writes in @Gizmodo, Bitcoin mining is more expensive than ever.
Yet, that doesn't mean some of the biggest mining operators can't still get rich -- thanks, in part, to deals some struck to do nothing more than sell the energy they buy back to the grid at a mark-up.

Notably, two lawyers representing Uber are former FTC chair Tim Muris and former commissioner Christine Wilson.
This revolving door activity would be shocking, if it wasn't so common. A 2019 @Public_Citizen study found *over 3/4* top FTC officials had revolving door conflicts.

In Montana, before passing a bill that would insulate crisis pregnancy centers from most state regulations, GOP lawmakers made sure to strip the bill of an amendment that would have required centers to keep client data safe and secure.

NEW: Some states force women to have a (medically unnecessary) ultrasound 24 hrs before an abortion.
But when women go to Google to try to schedule this extra step, they're barraged with ads from crisis pregnancy centers, whose non-medical services don't satisfy state laws.

We investigated a Meta political scam ad network in October - just one network had spent over $13 million in political scam ads targeting the U.S. alone.
Meta removed a handful of the pages, the scam ads persist.
Meta makes **millions** from scams.
@jason_kint Someone needs to ask Zuckerberg why the company accepts money all of the time for thousands of outright paid scam advertisements. Thousands. Seems like a major thing that never gets mentioned. Scammers pay Meta unknown sums of money and no one ever holds the company to account.
CNN highlighted how Meta's illicit account market goes back years — in 2022 TTP found a vast black market of Facebook groups for buying and selling Meta ad accounts.
Meta's moderation on that continues to fail. Here is a Facebook ad offering Facebook accounts for rent.
