Nesse artigo irei analisar o EPOMAKER Magcore65 Lite, que se trata de um teclado mecânico "65%", ou seja, sem teclado numérico, mas mantendo as setas direcionais, no padrão ANSI, sem "Ç", com construção em plástico e iluminação RGB, onde seus maiores diferenciais estão nos seus switches indutivos além da possibilidade de trabalhar sem fio. Será esse um bom teclado? É o que vamos descobrir.

I’m Dan Piraro, the creator of the Bizarro newspaper comic, and this is my weekly blog post. The large Sunday comic above is mine, as are all of the below-cartoon comments to follow. 

Since January 2018, the Monday-Saturday Bizarro comics have been written and drawn by my comics partner, Wayno. For more fun, check out Wayno’s weekly blog post.

And here’s this week’s ANSWER KEY to my Sunday comic’s Secret Symbols.

---

Hey, there Jazz Pickle. Welcome to my weekly word vomit.

Today’s cartoon above is a classic bait-and-switch formula. Your first glance tells you a hunter has killed a deer and strapped it to his car—something hunters do, though probably not in front of their sight line. Upon reading the dialogue, you find out he’s actually a friendly Samaritan who has acted as the designated driver for a ruminant who’s had a few too many.

That seems unlikely until you realize it’s happening in a world where an eight-point buck is a regular customer at Marty’s Roadhouse, and the local yokal knows the buck’s wife’s name.

That’s comedy for you.

In last week’s blog post, I mentioned some TV shows and movies Olive Oyl and I have enjoyed, and some readers appreciated it, so here’s another, along with a cherished personal story.

I first saw Zach Galifianakis at a theater in NYC around ‘03 or ’04, when he was an up-and-coming stand-up comic opening for a well-known comedian. I loved his set and thought he stole the show. I’ve been a big fan ever since. His faux-interview segments from a few years back, Between Two Ferns, are hilarious.

His latest thing is a wonderful series of short episodes on Netflix called This is a Gardening Show. It comedically mixes facts about growing food with interviews with kids and experts. It’s wonderful!

My cherished story about Zach: Around 2007, I attended the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. Galifianakis was one of the many performers in the two-day festival, and I went to see one of his shows. 

It took place in a small theater with a proscenium stage, cafe tables on the floor, and a small balcony with theater seats. During his show, he left the stage and wandered through the floor tables, improvising with random audience members.

After a couple of stops, he happened by my table, stuck the mic in my face, and asked, “What’s your name?” I said, “Dan.” 

He said, “And what do you do?” 

“I’m a cartoonist,” I replied.

“Oh really? What do you do? Have I seen your work?”

I said, “I do a newspaper comic called Bizarro.”

To my self-shitting surprise, the audience erupted in cheers and applause. That alone would’ve been enough, but it got better.

Zach said, “Oh my god. I love your work! I’ve read Bizarro for years.”

Holy crap, are you kidding me?! I melted like a schoolgirl meeting Paul McCartney in the ‘60s. I went backstage after the show and gushed over him, and he probably thought I was a dork. That’s the last time we spoke, and he doubtless has no memory of it ever happening.

That kind of public recognition almost never happens to a cartoonist, certainly not mid-level ink jockeys like me. It’s still my favorite moment of my whole career. I don’t know what my second-favorite moment would be, but it’s probably too boring to even write about.

Anyway, his This is a Gardening Show is charming and funny, and you’ll love it. If you don’t, don’t tell me.

---

You’ll also likely love Wayno’s Bizarro cartoons from this week. I’m sure Zach would, too, if he weren’t too busy gardening.

My friends in the make-believe cartoon mob loved this one.

On the off chance that you don’t already know, there are spas where you can do this with your feet.

The thing I like most about pretzels is their logic.

Some readers had trouble with this one. They say you’re not supposed to explain jokes, but I’ve made a point of not doing what they say. This is a pizza lying upside down on the ground, with the picture flipped so that the entire world is on the pizza. It’s a similar trick to the one I used in this comic.

Here in Mexico, they call those an “IRM” and “Señor T”.

This guy may have gone to the same school of childish political retribution as a certain orange man-baby.

Today’s episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Regent Street Cinema in London: David talks to the writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis about George Clooney’s Good Night, and Good Luck (2005). A film about the golden age of journalism and the grim years of McCarthyism, it tells the story of Ed Murrow’s attempt to take down scaremongering and conspiracy theories. Where is McCarthyism at work today? What’s happened to cancel culture? How was early TV like podcasting? And is George Clooney a hero for our times?

Hi there,

It’s good to be home again. It was an unusually long break, but I appreciate the series of official bank holidays that morph into long weekends away from the computer.

And of course, the catch-up is overwhelming. The creativity inside the WordPress community around content creation, development and design is highly energizing.

And it’s WordPress 7.0 release week! It’s finally here!

So don’t let me keep you any longer. Enjoy!

If you want to stop long enough to send me a note, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

Yours,
Birgit

Developing Gutenberg and WordPress

WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong”

After the decision to remove Real-time Collaboration from the release because it needs more time in the oven, so to speak, the release squad was really busy to produced RC 3 – 5 before the final release on Wednesday May 20, 2026.

Read more via the WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong” release post.

• The release squad also published the Field Guide with all the developer notes and salient details.
• Here on Gutenberg Times you can browse through WordPress 7.0 Source of Truth.
• For German-speaking WordPress users, I discussed the release with Simon Kraft on the Presswerk episode.
• Abha Thakor and I talked through a few features for the OpenChannels.fm episode to come out on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

---

Justin Nealey product manager at GoDaddy breaks down why WordPress 7.0’s three new APIs matter far more than the headline features for plugin developers. The Connectors API means site owners manage their own AI provider keys centrally; WP AI Client gives you a single provider-agnostic call to invoke any model; and the Abilities API turns your plugin into something the site’s AI agent can reach for autonomously. Together, Nealey argues, your plugin stops being a destination users visit and becomes a verb the agent performs.

---

Ronak Vanpariya, web developer on Gujarat, India digs into why Real-Time Collaboration was pulled from WordPress 7.0 with a five-point technical post-mortem. You’ll learn how RTC had to work across every corner of the Site Editor, how simultaneous edits triggered race conditions corrupting block data, and how the feature’s reliance on persistent server connections would have overwhelmed shared hosting environments. Memory bloat on older devices and recurring block-tree breakage uncovered by fuzz testing sealed the decision. The feature lives on in the Gutenberg plugin.

---

Mike McAlister, creator of Ollie, released a video walkthrough of WordPress 7.0 covering the features he sees as most impactful for site builders. He walks through the new AI infrastructure — WP AI Client and the Connectors API — content-only pattern editing, customizable mobile menu overlays, block visibility controls for responsive design, per-block custom CSS, visual revisions, the new Icon and Breadcrumbs blocks, an upgraded Font Library screen, and a command palette shortcut.

In other WordPress Core news:

Immediately after the release of WordPress 7.0, Jeff Paul published the WordPress 7.1 Call for Volunteers. Work has already started since the firsty 7.0 Beta in February. The first beta for WordPress 7.1 is roughly eight weeks out and scheduled for July 15, 2026, and the final release for August 19, 2026 aimed at the last day of WordCamp US.

In addition to the punted Real-time collaboration feature, I discovered a few tracking issue for WordPress 7.1 already:

• #76525: Block Supports and Design Tools in WordPress 7.1 Opened by Aaron Robertshaw, this tracks new and enhanced block supports for 7.1, carrying over items descoped from 7.0. A living issue is updated as supports are added or dropped from the release scope.
• #75707: Block Visibility: Configurable Breakpoints and theme.json Integration The follow-up to 7.0’s block visibility work. The goal is to let themes define custom breakpoints via theme.json and make visibility extensible for future responsive features — laying a solid foundation before more viewport-aware tools arrive.
• #76045: DataViews, DataForm, et al. in WordPress 7.1 Tracks continued iteration on DataViews, DataViewsPicker, DataForm, and the Field API. Key work includes migrating @wordpress/dataviews to the new Design System primitives and extending DataForm to PHP-only blocks.
• #77199: Block Bindings in WordPress 7.1 Narrowed in scope to match contributor availability. The headline goal is integrating the Block Bindings UI into Block Fields and removing the previous Block Bindings UI, plus adding Block Bindings support for the Cover block.

---

First-time release lead Paulo Trentin brought us the latest version for the Gutenberg plugin, 23.2. In his release post What’s new in Gutenberg 23.2? (21 May he highlighted: You can now style blocks differently for tablets and phones right from Global Styles, so your designs adapt to each screen. Pop-up dialogs slide up from the bottom on mobile, making them easier to tap one-handed, and animations across the editor now share a consistent feel. You’ll also see smoother Content Types management, friendlier Shortcode handling, clearer Revisions diff markers for better accessibility, and steadier real-time collaboration when teammates edit together.

---

Justin Tadlock rounds up what’s new for WordPress developers in May 2026, with WordPress 7.0 landing on May 20. You’ll find early details on the Content Types experiment for managing custom post types and taxonomies in Core, a new @wordpress/grid package for building grid-based editor UIs, revisions support extended to templates and patterns, and a wave of block fixes covering the Tabs block, Image alignment, Search block styling, and Global Styles rendering.

If you are interested in learning more about this, the Content Types tracking issue outlines the experiment to bring custom taxonomy and post type management into the WordPress editor. The initial focus is on simple use cases — complex ones stay in plugin territory — with open tasks including a dedicated creation page, richer fields, a quick-edit versus full-edit distinction, and deeper DataViews integration. It’s a living issue and community input is welcome.

---

John Blackbourn clarified WordPress’s PHP support stance in a post that’s worth flagging for developers and hosts. The “beta” label for PHP 8.x support has been retired and removed retroactively from all WordPress versions. It was discouraging hosts and developers from upgrading. In short:

• The minimum recommended version remains PHP 8.3;
• the minimum supported version is PHP 7.4.

• Versions 6.9 and 7.0 now officially fully support PHP 8.5,
• Versions 6.8 and later fully support PHP 8.4, and
• Versions 6.4 and later fully support PHP 8.3.

---

Jeffrey Paul recaps what’s new in the WordPress AI canonical plugin 1.0.0, a milestone release landing alongside WordPress 7.0. Two new governance experiments stand out:

• Request Logging gives administrators visibility into every AI request fired across Core, plugins, and themes;
• Connector Approvals lets admins control which plugins can access configured AI providers.

Beyond governance, you’ll find comment moderation upgrades with sentiment and toxicity sorting right in the dashboard, AI alt text generation baked into the media editor workflow, and editorial workflow terminology tidied up. Looking ahead to 1.1.0, the team is exploring type-ahead suggestions, focus-aware crop suggestions, an AI Playground, and C2PA content provenance tracking for both text and images.

Rae Morey, editor of The Repository, took a deeper dive into this release: WordPress AI Plugin Hits 1.0 Milestone With New Request Logging and Connector Approvals Experiments

Plugins, Themes, and Tools for #nocode site builders and owners

Jay Walsh, Director of Communications at Woo, announced that WooCommerce stores can now sell directly on YouTube via the Google for WooCommerce extension. You connect your store, tag products from your catalog in videos and Shorts, and they surface as shoppable cards while viewers watch — and also appear in your Channel Shopping tab. The same Merchant Center product feed that powers Google Shopping and Performance Max campaigns keeps everything in sync automatically, with AI-generated ad creative variations across formats included in version 3.6.

---

Milind More, Senior WordPress engineer at rtCamp introduces three new connectors for the WordPress AI plugin:

• OpenRouter for routing across hundreds of models with cost optimization,
• LM Studio for fully local inference suited to GDPR-sensitive workflows, and a
• Universal OpenAI connector for any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including Ollama, Groq, and Mistral.

All three are built on the same PHP AI Client SDK heading into WordPress Core 7.0, so your setup today carries forward without code changes after the upgrade.

Artur Piszek explains how he uses WordPress as a sync backend for Obsidian with PushMD. This plugin was created with Adam Zielinski, the maker of Playground. It allows you to treat your WordPress site as a git remote using the REST API. You can git clone your blog as plain .md files. Write in Obsidian and push updates to sync. This setup turns your site into a repository without needing an external service. It is also compatible with the upcoming Guidelines/Artifacts system in WordPress Core, which lets you store private notes and configurations there too.

Seth Rubenstein at Pew Research Center shared a preview of PRC Block Bits, now open-sourced on GitHub. Block Bits solves a specific gap between block bindings and RichText: where bindings replace an entire block’s content with dynamic data, a “bit” lets you embed small dynamic pieces — an inline icon, a copyright year, live text — right in the middle of a paragraph or heading. You register bits via a PHP and JS API, choose between a pure-PHP callback or Interactivity API strategy, and an editor toolbar dropdown handles insertion. Built-in bits for icons and copyright ship out of the box.

Theme Development for Full Site Editing and Blocks

Damir Tahiri of Rareview has open-sourced the WordPress starter theme that underpins every one of the agency’s builds. It’s Gutenberg-ready, ships with global style variables, includes a one-command Figma sync, and runs an interactive setup that renames and configures everything automatically. You can grab it on GitHub and use it as the foundation for your own projects.

Building Blocks and Tools for the Block editor.

On the WordPress Developer blog, Róbert Mészáros shows you how to get started writing WordPress E2E tests with Playwright, using a book review site built on Block Bindings as the test subject. You’ll set up wp-env and Playwright, write your first test against the admin dashboard, then progress to inserting block variations, verifying patterns with aria snapshots, and testing front-end output by creating posts via the REST API.

---

Also on the WordPress Developer Blog, Felix Arntz, Senior Software Engineer at Vercel, walks you through building a provider-agnostic image generation plugin using WordPress 7.0’s built-in AI Client. You’ll see how a single wp_ai_client_prompt() call handles provider routing, how support checks gate your UI gracefully when no image-capable provider is configured, and how the REST API and Media Library integration come together. The full source code is on GitHub at wptrainingteam/ai-client-imagegen.

---

Sérgio Santos, Lead Engineer at 10up/Fueled, diagnoses three specific bugs you hit when using RichText outside a block — in InspectorControls or a Modal. The format toolbar fills route to the wrong slot, the inline toolbar is opt-in via inlineToolbar, and isSelected never turns true outside a block context. Each problem gets a targeted fix, and the pattern has since been packaged as a reusable component in 10up Block Components.

---

Eric Karkovack walks you through using my.WordPress.net as a safe AI sandbox — no production site at risk. You install WordPress in your browser in two steps, add the AI Assistant app from the apps menu, connect it to Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local Ollama model, and start prompting. It’s a low-stakes way to explore what AI can do inside WordPress before committing it to a live environment, though API costs from OpenAI or Anthropic still apply.

Fresh from last week’s WordCamp Portugal:

• Imran Sayed presented The Fastest Way to Build Gutenberg Blocks: Modern Tools, Scripts, and AI at WordCamp Portugal 2026. The talk cuts through the complexity of custom block development by focusing on practical, immediately usable workflows built around modern WordPress tools and scripts.
• Milana Cap presented WordPress Gems for Devs: Accessibility with Interactivity API and makes the case that it’s one of the most exciting APIs to land in WordPress in recent releases, with positive implications not just for developer experience but for performance and user experience too.
• Jorge Costa presented AI is in WordPress Core. Here’s How to Use It . The talk digs into the AI building blocks already shipped in WordPress Core — the WP AI Client, the Abilities API, and the MCP adapter, and shows you exactly how to bring AI-powered features into your own plugins, themes, and sites.
• JuanMa Garrido presented WordPress Development and Management with Claude Code. The talk treats Claude Code as a command center for WordPress work, generating block themes from HTML designs, querying a production site in natural language, installing plugins, and reading error logs, all from the terminal. Three concepts are at the core: Skills, MCP, and the Abilities API.

Sentença sem reprise. Acusados de crimes de corrupção, dois ex-ministros de Defesa da China, Wei Fenghe e Li Shangfu, foram condenados a penas mais brandas do que a pena de morte. Na última quinta-feira (7), uma corte militar do país determinou que ambos fossem punidos com pena de morte com suspensão de dois anos. Na prática, passados dois anos sem novos crimes, a pena de ambos será automaticamente convertida em prisão perpétua. Ambos foram considerados culpados de suborno e tiveram todos os bens pessoais confiscados. Segundo a Xinhua, Li teria sido acusado por ter recebido e oferecido propinas, além de não cumprir responsabilidades políticas. Wei comandou a pasta de defesa entre 2018 e 2023; Li o sucedeu em março de 2023, sumiu da vida pública em agosto daquele ano e foi formalmente afastado em outubro, após pouco mais de seis meses no cargo. As decisões se somam à onda recente de afastamentos no alto escalão militar chinês, que incluiu nos últimos meses até o general Zhang Youxia, militar mais graduado da Comissão Militar Central. Em fevereiro, Xi Jinping fez uma rara menção pública ao processo, dizendo que as Forças Armadas haviam “passado por uma têmpera revolucionária no combate à corrupção”. Analistas leem a cruzada anticorrupção em curso desde 2012 como uma combinação de saneamento institucional e de consolidação política e, no caso das Forças Armadas, as duas dimensões costumam aparecer entrelaçadas. 

Cidade x Campo.Junto com os vice-prefeitos chineses que viralizam no Douyin dançando em arrozais, a onda de funcionários influencers ganha corpo desde que Xi Jinping promoveu essa estratégia. As cenas idílicas que esses livestreams projetam, com paisagens, produtos artesanais, oficiais bonzinhos servindo refeições a idosos, ajudam a reforçar uma visão romantizada do interior que circula há tempos nas cidades chinesas: a ideia de que o camponês tem terra para “se virar”, uma casa só sua, e ainda por cima com um custo de vida baixo. É justamente esse imaginário urbano que uma conversa recente entre o jornalista Peng Yuanwen e o ativista Zhou Jian, traduzida pelo China Digital Times, busca discutir. Zhou conta que ao percorrer mais de 3 mil aldeias em 150 condados pobres, ele tentou derrubar as crenças urbanas sobre o campo. Segundo o texto, o camponês não vive da terra, seu trabalho rende, no máximo, o equivalente a R$ 800 a R$ 1.500 por ano, “o suficiente para uns poucos meses de remédio de pressão”; a terra não é de fato dele (o que existe é direito de uso coletivo, sem poder vender, herdar ou usar como garantia); o terreno em que ele mora vale menos do que se imagina; e o “baixo custo de vida” rural é um mito. Entre o campo do algoritmo e o do cotidiano ainda há uma boa distância, e o relato de Peng e Zhou fala, no fundo, sobre tentar encurtar essa narrativa.

Xi recebe Trump. Na semana passada, Beijing recebeu o presidente Donald Trump para sua primeira visita de Estado à China em nove anos. Como tinha de ser, o encontro com Xi Jinping não decepcionou em termos de drama e simbolismo. As duas maiores economias do mundo concordaram em criar conselhos de comércio e investimento, reduzir tarifas de forma recíproca e estabelecer um mecanismo para gerenciar disputas. Também saíram acordos concretos: a China comprará pelo menos 200 aviões da Boeing , mas esse número pode mais do que triplicar e chegar até 750, mas isso só se determinadas condições forem atendidas. Apesar do tom cordial, os resultados, na prática, foram modestos: nenhum grande avanço, apenas uma estabilização das relações e um esforço para evitar que a rivalidade entre as superpotências saísse do controle. 

Para além das relações entre Pequim e Washington, Xi e Trump trataram de temas que preocupam o mundo: a situação de Taiwan, as guerras no Irã e na Ucrânia e o papel e ameaça da Coreia do Norte. Quanto ao Irã, os dois líderes concordaram que o Estreito de Ormuz deve permanecer aberto. Xi também deixou um recado pouco sutil ao perguntar a Trump se EUA e China conseguiriam superar a “Armadilha de Tucídides“, a teoria de que potências em ascensão inevitavelmente entram em conflito com as estabelecidas, e criar um novo paradigma para as grandes potências. Com seu típico “otimismo”, Trump respondeu no Truth Social dizendo que Xi estava falando do declínio americano causado por Biden, não pelo seu governo. E para coroar a visita com aquele toque de entretenimento que só essa dupla proporciona, um vídeo viral mostrou Trump dando uma espiadela no caderno de Xi assim que o líder chinês se afastou (recomendamos ver o nosso vídeo da semana).  

Outro momento pitoresco da visita ficou por conta do Secretário de Estado Marco Rubio: sancionado pela China duas vezes quando ainda era senador, Rubio só conseguiu entrar no país porque Beijing simplesmente trocou uma letra do seu nome em mandarim, transformando “卢比奥” em “鲁比奥” (Lubiao), ambas têm a mesma pronúncia, caractere diferente, problema resolvido. Do lado chinês, o embaixador Xie Feng aproveitou o encontro para publicar um artigo em tom solene no People’s Daily, defendendo que “cooperação beneficia os dois lados, enquanto confronto prejudica ambos” e que os EUA deveriam abandonar a mentalidade da Guerra Fria e tratar a China como parceira. 

E o assunto azedou com Taiwan. Após uma cúpula de dois dias em Pequim com Xi Jinping, Donald Trump alertou Taiwan a não declarar formalmente sua independência e disse, em entrevista à Fox News, que “não está buscando que alguém vá ser independente” e o que quer mesmo é que “a China se acalme”. A resposta de Taipei veio no sábado pela porta-voz presidencial Karen Kuo, que afirmou ser “evidente por si só” que Taiwan é um país soberano, independente e democrático, mas reforçou o compromisso da ilha em manter o status quo, sem declaração formal e sem unificação, postura já sustentada pelo presidente Lai Ching-te, para quem não há necessidade de declarar o que já se considera fato. No mesmo encontro, Trump disse que decidirá em breve sobre um pacote de venda de armamentos de US$11 bilhões para a ilha, sinal de que, mesmo evitando atrito imediato com Pequim, Washington segue obrigado por lei a fornecer meios de autodefesa a Taipei.  

Uma batalha atrás da outra. Poucos dias depois da cúpula entre Xi Jinping e Donald Trump em Pequim, é a vez de Vladimir Putin desembarcar na capital chinesa, visita confirmada por Moscou e Pequim no último sábado, se trata da primeira vez do líder russo ao exterior em 2026. A agenda inclui encontro com Xi para reforçar a “parceria estratégica abrangente” entre os dois países, a possível assinatura de uma declaração conjunta e conversas separadas com o primeiro-ministro sobre cooperação econômica e comercial. A coincidência de calendário, segundo analistas, não foi orquestrada. A visita russa já vinha sendo articulada há meses, mas ganha peso simbólico extra, uma vez que 2026 marca o 30º aniversário da parceria estratégica sino-russa e o 25º do Tratado de Boa Vizinhança, cuja renovação deve entrar em pauta. Entre os temas esperados estão o gasoduto Power of Siberia 2, a guerra na Ucrânia, e a crise no Estreito de Ormuz. O comércio bilateral entre os dois países somou mais de US$228 bilhões em 2025, com Pequim se consolidando como principal comprador de petróleo e gás russos.

Pressão. A famosa RightsCon – a maior conferência de direitos humanos digitais – teve a sua edição de 2026 cancelada. O evento iria acontecer em Lusaka, capital da Zâmbia, entre 5 e 8 de maio. Contudo, a 15ª edição foi cancelada sem muitas explicações duas semanas antes da data para o choque e prejuízo financeiro de muita gente. A nota final de explicação do cancelamento, a organização do evento citou interferência estrangeira. Não demorou muito e questionamentos passaram a surgir sobre isso ter relação com pressão do governo chinês, dado o crescente relacionamento entre a China e a Zâmbia, e o fato da edição de 2025 ter sido realizada em Taipei. Ao que tudo indica, o país asiático exigiu que participantes taiwaneses não comparecessem, e a discussão é elaborada nesta análise no China Digital Times.

Violência contra mulheres chinesas fora da China. Em abril, um tribunal de Munique proferiu uma sentença que chocou a Europa e reacendeu o debate sobre violência sexual e o papel das plataformas digitais. Zhongyi J., um estudante chinês de 28 anos, foi condenado a 11 anos e três meses de prisão por duas tentativas de homicídio e sete estupros agravados contra a sua vizinha, a quem drogou e agrediu sexualmente pelo menos sete vezes entre fevereiro e dezembro de 2024. O réu filmou cada agressão e armazenou os vídeos em um HD externo; em um dos casos, o ataque durou mais de três horas. O caso foi imediatamente comparado ao escândalo Pelicot, que abalou a França em 2024 — e o juiz descreveu os crimes como “atos monstruosos”, declarando que “entramos em território jurídico inexplorado.” Mas o que torna o caso ainda mais perturbador é o contexto coletivo: o julgamento em Munique faz parte de uma investigação mais ampla sobre oito homens que integravam um grupo no Telegram chamado “Autoschule” (Escola de Direção Alemã), no qual coordenavam e compartilhavam imagens dos crimes. O caso levanta questões urgentes sobre a responsabilidade das plataformas de mensagens na proliferação desse tipo de conteúdo — um debate que, infelizmente, ainda está longe de ter uma resposta.

A internet quase quebrou com o que teria sido Trump bisbilhotando uma pasta de Xi Jinping. Não foi bem assim, e a CNN conta o que aconteceu.

 

 

O post Edição 393 – Encontro Xi e Trump gera memes, virais e pouco avanço apareceu primeiro em Shūmiàn 书面.

More data brokers have changed their practices in response to reporting from The Markup and CalMatters as well as a subsequent Senate investigation.

Data brokers — companies that collect and sell access to often-sensitive information on consumers — are required to register in the state of California and provide a way for consumers to request their data be deleted. 

Last year, an investigation by The Markup and CalMatters, published in collaboration with WIRED, showed that many of those companies placed code on the web pages for making those requests that prevented them from appearing in search results. The “no-index” code tells search engines like Google not to catalog those pages, making it less likely that anyone would see them. Experts said that’s a hurdle for Californians looking to exercise their legal rights. 

Last year’s investigation found 35 data brokers were using the code, 12 of whom soon removed it and allowed their pages to appear in search results.

Today, only eight of those 35 brokers are still hiding their deletion pages, according to another review done by The Markup and CalMatters this week. That includes five major data brokers who came under Senate investigation.

After The Markup and CalMatters published their report, the top Democrat on the Senate Joint Economic Committee minority, New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan, sent letters to five data brokers questioning them about their practices.

Four of the companies — IQVIA Digital, Comscore, Telesign Corporation and 6sense Insights — engaged with the Senate committee about their practices and agreed to make their pages visible in search, according to a report the committee later released. The report also estimated that consumers have lost more than $20 billion from fraud and identity theft related to broker data breaches. 

In an addendum to their initial findings released last week, the committee said that the fifth company facing questioning, Findem, also belatedly removed its “no-index” code, making its deletion pages visible in search engines. 

One of the data brokers no longer hiding its opt-out page, BrightCheck, has a broken opt-out page and no longer appears on California’s broker registry.

Of 499 brokers registered with the state of California, The Markup and CalMatters in August 2025 found 35 instructing search engines to ignore pages with instructions on how consumers can remove their data. As of May 2026, only eight had such instructions. 

Of the eight brokers still hiding their deletion pages, only one, a company called Fideo, responded to a request for comment about whether they would continue using the code on their pages.

Jason Soni, a spokesperson for Fideo, which uses data for crime and fraud prevention purposes, said the company intentionally “chose not to display the application page itself in Google search results for technical and consumer experience reasons.” Consumers, he said, can make requests starting “from our homepage and public privacy resources, which provide the right context, routing, and instructions for privacy requests,” instead of starting at the application page. 

“Americans deserve a choice over whether their personal data is collected, used, and sold for profit or not,” Hassan said in a statement released alongside the amended report. “Data brokers like Findem have a responsibility to provide that choice with clear, user-friendly opt-out functions and straightforward privacy policies.

Desde a ascensão do bolsonarismo, em 2018, as eleições presidenciais passaram a ser marcadas por instabilidade, desinformação e dificuldade de prever candidaturas e possíveis resultados. A cinco meses das disputas de 2026, o atual cenário político já é complexo e instável. Lula disputa sua possível última eleição em um contexto atravessado por guerras no mundo, crises econômicas e pela crescente desinformação nas redes sociais, impulsionada pelo avanço da inteligência artificial. Ao mesmo tempo, o bolsonarismo tenta reorganizar sua sucessão política em meio às incertezas sobre a possível candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro, atualmente envolvido em escândalos e em disputas de narrativa em torno da própria realidade dos fatos.

O Pauta Pública desta semana mergulha neste cenário com um dos maiores nomes do jornalismo brasileiro, Ricardo Kotscho. Na entrevista com a Andrea Dip, ele alerta que o debate público brasileiro vive uma crise que vai muito além dos nomes colocados na disputa presidencial. Kotscho analisa como a desinformação, a fragilidade das instituições e o esvaziamento da participação política ajudam a moldar o cenário atual do país, e destaca a importância do jornalismo no comprometimento com o futuro do país.

O que revela o olhar de quem viveu a guerra? Neste episódio, a escritora Beatriz Bracher fala sobre o romance Guerra — I (Editora 34), primeiro volume da sua trilogia sobre a Guerra do Paraguai. A narrativa, criada pela costura de relatos reais, coloca em primeiro plano vozes que presenciaram o conflito, despertando no leitor o horror à guerra, diz Bracher. Ela também lembra que o convívio entre brancos e negros, senhores e escravizados e pessoas de diferentes regiões do país no front de batalha foi uma primeira descoberta do Brasil pelos brasileiros. A conversa aconteceu durante A Feira do Livro 2025, com mediação do escritor Joca Reiners Terron.
