(CNN) — Cada vez son más los estados que aprietan las tuercas a las grandes tecnológicas, internet y las redes sociales. El miércoles, Montana se convirtió en el primer estado en prohibir por completo TikTok, aunque muchos se muestran escépticos sobre la aplicabilidad de la nueva y controvertida legislación.Otras medidas incluyen leyes que pretenden endurecer la regulación de las plataformas de redes sociales en general, como las promulgadas recientemente por Arkansas y Utah.Hay tres objetivos que merecen la pena y que parecen ser, al menos en parte, la motivación de este tipo de acciones legales: impedir que las empresas recopilen datos sobre nosotros y nuestros hijos, proteger a los niños en internet y equilibrar los derechos con las responsabilidades al publicar contenidos en plataformas en línea. Por ejemplo, si una plataforma aloja contenidos que provocan daños a alguien, ¿puede también ser considerada responsable? Hasta ahora, la respuesta ha sido negativa, según una rec...

With Celtics in a 3-0 hole, Joe Mazzulla’s season is now at its low point

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:03:35 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Joe Mazzulla’s roller-coaster season is at its lowest. And with the Boston Celtics now on the brink of elimination, the first-year coach is blaming himself.The Celtics are in the sort of trouble that no team in NBA history has escaped, trailing Miami 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals after a 128-102 Heat romp on Sunday night that might not have been even as close as the score would make it appear.“I think the most important thing is just sticking together, and then I have to be better,” said Mazzulla, the NBA’s youngest coach at 34. “I’ve got to put them in better positions. I’ve got to get them ready to play. I have to have the game plan ready for us to be physical and to execute, and it’s important that we stick together.”It has been a disaster of a series for the Celtics. They’re letting the Heat shoot 52% from the field, 48% from 3-point range — compared to a 29% effort from deep by the Celtics — and the dam might have broken in Game 3. After Games 1 and 2 ...

Couple killed at Texas mall shooting along with 3-year-old son had ‘perfect synergy’

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:03:35 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Kyu Cho had a generous spirit and joyous belly laugh that delighted his friends. His wife, Cindy Cho, was quieter, described by those who knew her as sweet and kind. Together, the parents of two young sons complemented each other perfectly, strong in their faith and devoted to family and friends.“That’s what I keep hearing in my head when I think of them: Just Kyu laughing so deeply and Cindy just kind of shaking her head and laughing along,” said their friend, Phyllis Myung. “Every interaction I ever had with them, we were always laughing so hard.”Cindy and Kyu grew up in Texas. They met while pursuing their careers as young adults in Boston — her as a dentist, him as an attorney. Wanting to be near their families, they decided it was time to return to Texas when they started a family of their own. The couple and their sons — 6-year-old William and 3-year-old James — were not far from their Dallas home when a gunman opened fire at an outdoor mall as they s...

Joe Mazzulla takes blame for Celtics’ horrid Game 3 loss, admits defensive identity has been lost

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:03:35 GMT

MIAMI — The Heat fans leaving Kaseya Center were still loud, cheering and clearly audible when Joe Mazzulla took the podium, which was located just steps away from the court, a curtain separating him from the carnage that just took place.The Celtics coach was still trying to process what just happened, a humiliating and inexcusable 128-102 loss to the Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals that suddenly left his team one loss from elimination. It was the darkest night of the season, one once filled with so much promise but now in real jeopardy of crashing to a devastating end. It seems inevitable now, really.But with the lights on him, Mazzulla had nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. The first-year coach put it all on himself.“I just didn’t have them ready to play,” Mazzulla said.Mazzulla was thrust into a very difficult spot in September when he suddenly took charge of a championship-ready team for the suspended Ime Udoka. He handled circumstances admirably through the r...
