1. Brazil fines TikTok $30 million over children's data
-- Brazilian authorities ordered ByteDance to erase children's data they said TikTok obtained illegally and imposed a $30 million penalty.
-- The order pairs a material fine with data deletion, increasing regulatory and privacy risk for platforms that cannot document how they identify minors and process their information.
2. U.S. audit watchdog eliminates investor-advocate office
-- The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board scrapped an office created under the Biden administration to represent shareholder interests, the Financial Times reported.
-- Removing the dedicated role could shift audit policy toward accounting firms and public companies, reducing shareholders' direct influence on regulatory rulemaking.
3. Deloitte agrees to pay $21.5 million in federal discrimination settlement
-- Deloitte agreed to pay $21.5 million to resolve Justice Department allegations that employment practices tied to federal contracts violated anti-discrimination requirements.
-- The settlement creates legal and financial exposure for government contractors when workplace programs conflict with federal certification and contracting rules.
4. Bitcoin miners redirect power and facilities toward AI computing
-- Cryptocurrency mining companies are refitting sites for artificial-intelligence workloads as Bitcoin remains well below its peak from nearly a year ago, the BBC reported.
-- The pivot can improve returns on scarce grid connections, but it also diverts hash-rate investment and ties mining economics more closely to data-center demand.
