LONDON (AP) — A top European Union official told Elon Musk that Twitter needs to make progress in preparing for a new law aimed at curbing hate speech, misinformation and other harmful content, adding pressure on the company to ensure it complies. EU Commissioner Thierry Breton and Musk held a video call on Tuesday to assess Twitter's readiness for Europe's new rules, known as the Digital Services Act, that are set to take effect later this year.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 Fort Winfield Scott, a 30-acre enclave tucked within the Presidio of San Francisco, will remain an atmospheric but largely empty landscape for the foreseeable future. That decision was made Wednesday evening by the board of the Presidio Trust, the autonomous federal agency that manages nearly all of the 1,491-acre national park in the city’s northwest corner. The trust’s board voted unanimously to end a development competition started last year — and to reject a proposal by a trio of developers to restore Fort Scott and its 22 buildings as a compound reserved for what they said would be “a diverse community of mission-driven organizations ... addressing the most significant issues of our time.” The team of developers, which includes the co-working giant WeWork, spent months making the case that it could turn the isolated yet scenic remnant of the Presidio’s military past into space for … [Read more...] about Presidio Trust rejects ‘do-gooder’ plans to restore Fort Scott
