1. French court blocks social-media ban for children under 15
-- France's Constitutional Council struck down the proposed nationwide ban Friday, citing freedom of expression.
-- The civil liberties ruling protects online speech from a broad age restriction and forces lawmakers to pursue narrower child-safety rules that can survive constitutional review.
2. Core Scientific buys Polaris for $444 million to build 1.5-gigawatt campus
-- Core Scientific closed its acquisition of Polaris and is targeting 1.5 gigawatts of capacity at the Muskogee campus, according to Blockspace Media.
-- The transaction extends the mining industry's shift toward large power campuses that can serve Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing workloads.
3. Copper supply squeeze drives key LME spread to highest since 2021
-- Spot copper's premium over later-dated London Metal Exchange futures reached its widest level since 2021 as immediately available supply tightened, Bloomberg reported.
-- Deepening backwardation raises procurement costs for manufacturers and increases the risk that physical shortages disrupt electrification and construction supply chains.
4. U.S. special forces expand Philippine combat drills
-- U.S. special operations forces are prepared to increase combat exercises with the Philippines as the allies strengthen deterrence in Asia, the Associated Press reported.
-- More frequent joint training improves interoperability but also places the alliance more directly inside the military competition surrounding the South China Sea and Taiwan.
